T.E.A.R. healing

As I sit in my meditation space, inhaling the gentle aroma of incense and listening to the soft tinkle of wind chimes, I am reminded of the journey that led me to founding SaiSankalpam.com. The teachings of Swami have always been a guiding light in my life, and they have helped shape the core philosophy of our organization: the transformative power of holistic health. It is this foundation that supports the Four Pillars of Success: physical well-being, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. I’ve come to realize that these pillars form the basis for achieving holistic success, leading us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the divine.

The T.E.A.R. Formula—Thoughts, Energy, Actions, Results—has been instrumental in this journey. It is a simple yet profound model that illustrates how our thoughts generate the energy necessary to perform actions, which in turn produce results. These results, when aligned with our higher purpose, pave the way for spiritual growth. Let me share an insightful story about how this formula plays out in everyday life, leading to transformation.

Years ago, I found myself feeling disconnected and constantly on edge. Despite having a successful career and family, there was a void—a longing for something deeper. During this period, I began practicing conscious eating as an act of mindfulness. By focusing on each bite, I began to appreciate not only the flavors but also the nourishment it provided my body. This practice became a form of meditation, allowing me to connect with my thoughts. As my thoughts became purer, my energy shifted. I had more vitality and clarity than ever before.

Integrating rest into my life was another key factor. Rather than viewing rest as unproductive, I learned to embrace it as essential. Through this rest, I discovered the power of simply being, rather than always doing. This shift in perspective opened channels for spiritual insight and creativity, proving that when we rest, we recharge our body and our soul.

Swami always emphasized the importance of gratitude. He said, “Gratitude is a sacred gift from the heart.” To truly embrace this teaching, I began the practice of a gratitude walk each morning. With each step, I reflected on the things I was grateful for, from the gentle morning sun to the vibrant nature around me. These walks grounded me, encouraging a flow of positive energy that rippled out to others.

Breathing, too, became a central part of my practice. In moments of stress or uncertainty, I pause to take deep, mindful breaths. This simple act helps realign my thoughts, infusing them with the energy needed to respond with grace rather than react in haste.

Discipline ties all these practices together. It acts as the backbone, supporting our commitment to holistic health. It is through disciplined practice and dedication that the acts of conscious eating, rest, gratitude, and breathing transform from mere activities to spiritual gateways.

Incorporating these principles, as suggested by the T.E.A.R. Formula, allows us to live more harmoniously and with purpose. Visualize it as two interlocking triangles, representing how our Thoughts and Energy guide our Actions and Results. The purer our thoughts, the more positive and powerful our energy becomes, leading to actions that yield fulfilling results.

Let us delve into some practical techniques that can be seamlessly incorporated into our daily lives:

1. Breathing Pause: Throughout the day, take a moment to pause and breathe deeply. Inhale slowly, hold your breath for a moment, and then exhale. This practice calms the mind and replenishes your energy, aligning your thoughts toward positive outcomes.

2. Mindful Meal: Choose one meal a day to dedicate to mindfulness. Focus on the texture, taste, and aroma of your food. Eat slowly and appreciate the nourishment it provides. This practice not only aids digestion but also fosters gratitude and mindfulness.

3. Gratitude Walk: Begin or end your day with a walk in nature, focusing on gratitude. Reflect on the things you appreciate in your life and the wonders of the natural world. This practice enhances mental clarity and emotional balance.

4. Rest and Reflect: Allocate time for rest and reflection daily. Whether it’s through meditation, reading, or simply being still, this practice helps consolidate your energy and thoughts, preparing you for purposeful action.

5. Discipline Journal: Keep a journal to track your daily practices and thoughts. This act of self-discipline allows you to reflect on your progress and recommit to your holistic goals.

By embracing these practices, we initiate a cycle of positivity and growth, becoming embodiments of Swami’s message. It is in the alignment of our thoughts, words, and actions that we find the true essence of holistic health and success. Together, let us embark on this journey towards spiritual and personal transformation.

May your path be illuminated by love and wisdom.
