Dress modestly, behave respectfully, be gracious & radiate optimism — & you will be invited everywhere. Be worldly, intellectual & add value to a broad range of audiences, even if that means you bring the dancing vibes. Even if that means you smile & nod, knowing when it’s time to listen. Too many emo haters these days bringing the vibe down & complaining. Too many loud, cheap women, it’s so easy to win by literally just respecting yourself, others, moving courteously & being dignified.

Embrace Trātaka // Candle Gazing Meditation — Obviously my favorite because it strengthens your will power & Magic. I can’t exactly look directly into the afternoon sun — I’ll crumble. Only morning & evening sun should be looked at. Spiritually — The sun is Yang — He commands respect. Don’t look at him. Lower your gaze. Know your place. This applies to submitting to your man too. You don’t lower your gaze because you are inferior, but because he is the Sun. You are the Moon. Silky, little thing. Anyway — The morning & evening sunlight is healing. Stay outside as much as you can. I’m Indian so I will literally get depressed in bleak, dreary weather. I need to absorb the light all day long. Proper sunlight is the ultimate medicine, especially when most of us work on the computers all day. Avoid excessive sunglasses unless it’s midday & actually too bright. Don’t be weak, but don’t be silly. In winter months, when you cannot get enough sun — We go to Shamanic candle gazing as it strengthens our Tejas तेजस् & inner determination, will power. It keeps the fire burning inside — We must never loose the spark, the kindling of the fire. It is the eternal flame. Note: it is very difficult to heat the ocean once it goes cold, but if you keep a steady fire burning, you will stay golden forever — Pony Boy. Also, I have a theory this is why brown & black people age so gracefully, but another topic entirely. The Sun is the magic ingredient. Ideally, right before or right after sunrise, practice a 10 minute candle gazing meditation. Burning a wick with ghee rather than oil or wax is said to purify the heart 🤍— clarify vision — enhance knowledge, wisdom & bring prosperity. I just light candles all over the house — so it’s natural, it’s become a ritual. This meditation is simple — light your candle and then gaze softly into the flame as you focus on your inhale & exhale. Look at a warm fire. Get cozy. Dance around the fire // with company, perhaps? Ooo la la Have you heard the song Energy by Mystic Marley // I light my exotic incense, cleanse the home, cleanse my loved ones & everything is perfect. In India, they do this in every single household. The sun sets & incense is pouring out of every window & balcony. It’s spiritual cleansing. Washing off the heavy day. My dad lights incense every morning & does a quick prayer before he leaves the house. Every. Single. Morning. Without fail. It’s something I’ll never forget. Breathing deeply & with intention also supports Prāṇa प्राण — Chi Flow — the subtle essence of Vata, which kindles stomach agni by fanning the flame of the digestive fire. We need air & wind to keep the fire going, or it will be stifled. It’s the same for digestion. Our body thrives with 1/4 water (soups), 1/2 solid (food) & 1/4 air — space. So we can truly digest the food. Eat until you’re 75% full. Don’t stuff your face like a fatty. Proper Ghrelin & Leptin levels means you feel emotionally satisfied too. That only happens when you enjoy all foods, with deep hedonistic pleasure, nourishing all 7 layers of bodily tissue, with proper fats ghee, olive oil, coconut oil (you need them all). When we give the body everything — it is loyal — & so it gives us everything back. Like perfect cellular metabolism & a hourglass body. Physiognomy adjusts to the operations of the soul, so wild — I know, I know. We get to nurture Nature🌹How are you playing the cards you have been dealt? Let there be light✨✨— & So it is. XX

Tejas तेजस् is the opposite of a wet blanket — It’s the primal hunger. Passion. The willpower to win. Dominate. Intrinsically wanting to be the best in all that you — For yourself. Because something within you says you must be the best. The excitement for the future. The potential for life💎✨ It is more than saffron skincare in a vial. Although — Saffron in warm water, 2 drops of olive oil is an excellent to get that inner glow. Saffron is tridoshic, suitable for all — Potent element of Tejas as it is concentrated✨Vitamin C✨Mangoes. Lemons. I digress. A few ways to naturally boost your inner spark & head-turning glow: 1. Wake Up with the Sun. We live in the rhythm of Nature & the timing must be respected. The timing of the day, season of the year, season of your life, etc. Do not underestimate the importance of time. Our bodies are loyal & if you move like clockwork, you get the results of clockwork. I’m convinced that consistency is difficult for many of us because we do not have regimented schedules that inspire us. Something that helps is to immediately schedule a fun workout in the morning with a friend & have a cute outfit, because hellooo. We have to be chic, girly & sexy at all times. Tejas तेजस् is sex appeal. Raw. Like a tiger. Meowww kitty is always ready to play. The speed. The precision. The sharpness. The attention to detail. The clarity & the cleanliness. The ability to nap all day & then pounce. Sheer, raw vigor. Brilliant, indeed. You don’t need red-light therapy & a gazillion supplements — you need to stop being lazy & wake up at sunrise, shower & get moving. Like a farmer. Wake up with energy because you’re the main character. Listen to Perfect Day by HOKU — Make your bed. Dance ! YES 🪩🌸✨✨✨ You can do whatever you want — ✨whenever✨ you want as with modern technology, but that doesn’t mean you should. When we rise with the animals of nature — We set ourselves up for success & it fuels us, energizing us for the rest of the day. Best time to wake us before 6AM, but the earlier the better. I get up at 7AM usually, but I always have more fuel the earlier I rise. Getting out of bed as the sun is rising is a key way to begin your day feeling bright & energized. There's a reason that Ayurveda — & many other traditions — promote the practice of starting the day with an intentional morning routine. At this hour, you have the wind of Vata at your back & an opportunity to absorb the special sunlight of dawn. This long-wave infrared light is key for activating the energy you will need throughout your day. Also, when you gaze at the morning sun 30-min🌞 upon waking // you recalibrate your circadian rhythm & optimize your hormones. Cortisol rises slowly, as it’s meant to, like the rising sun. So enjoy that French Minute — Take your sweet time sipping a fluffy cappuccino in the garden, smell the roses — Do your best thinking — Visualize & plan for the day — Then get moving XX ✨

Tejas तेजस् gives someone that extra radiant & or brilliant sparkling warmth that seems to shine forth from within — That twinkle in their eyes✨✨ The sun-kissed glow, Brazilian luster & olive skin — Comes from Tejas तेजस्. It is a subtle energetic manifestation & essence of Pitta पित्त dosha, which is composed of fire & water. It is the sparkle of the ocean on a sunny day. It is the “high-body temp” everyone keeps lusting after, but its literally just your inner fire — Passion, inspiration, if you have nothing you’re excited about how can you glow?! It is the reasons why the flowers bloom — Our connection with Source is the Sun. Seems obvious duh, but not exactly — We can cultivate this subtle energy within ourselves, even when the Sun is weak, because as above so below. We are actually stronger in the winter if we continue to kindle the flame of Tejas तेजस्. The Sanskrit word Tejas तेजस् means “brightness” “brilliance” “sharpness” or “fire” — I call it the Sauce, baby. We have this Tejas तेजस् element in every single layer of the 7 bodily tissues because each one requires the fire of transformation to move to the deeper ones. Rasa = Fluids, Rakta = Blood, Māṃsa = Muscle, Meda = Fat, Asthi = Bone, Majjā = Nerves, śukra = Sexual fluids. Brightness // Tejas is associated with the sun god, Surya. Sharpness // Tejas can refer to the sharp edge of a knife. Fire // Tejas is associated with Agni, the God of fire. Light // Tejas can refer to the light or heat that is one of the five elements of creation. Energy // Tejas can refer to the fiery energy of the human body. Might // Tejas can refer to strength, courage & valor XX✨

People don't talk about this enough // Men sometimes choose Power over true Love — Because the weight of true love is simply, too much to bear. He doesn't want that responsibility. When the Ego is more important than the Love — You lose the very thing you desired to begin with. So the essence of keeping Frame as a Man, often has an 80/20 rule because if we are too relentless, too stubborn & unyielding, we cannot grow. In Nature the species that survive in evolution —are the ones who quickly adapt to the dynamism of life & her seasons. We rise, or fall as the occasion & waves demands // Or we become disconnected from Love & therefore, life itself. Some Men will be always alone, not because someone didn't love them deeply, but because the good girl that truly loves him, will want emotional nurturing, attention & quality time — So she can heal him & give him energy. Since he cannot provide that emotional communication & energy — Rather, he chooses not to, so he goes for independent boss babe girl, who does not require that much emotional love, because she is too busy. She fills a position in his life, she looks the part. However, she can never truly love him— & so the irony is — he always feels empty, depleted & exhausted because he chose ultimately Power over Love. He thought life would get easier, as he climbed higher, but the opposite reigns true, because he lost sight of shore. 10 years go by, he's 35 wondering where all the good girls have gone? They were always there. It was He that could not provide. He was always the common denominator. It is his own thirst for glory & power that debilitates him in the end. It's funny the things we want the most in life end up destroying us // & the things we never even saw coming, land in our laps like little kitties. All by Divine design.

Weak men want insecure women. I believe in submission — but not blind submission. Few are worthy. Weak women are easier to handle. Low maintenance. Zero needs. Fix her eating disorder & you’ve won. They tolerate the average, NPC behaviors. They just want to be chosen. They want to be friends with everyone. Why? I love women who have great taste because it reflects their sharpness, discernment & discretion. They are highly-selective, very picky. They would rather be alone than in poor company. They only want the best. They buy less, they choose well. Their inner circle is close knit, because everyone is vetted through many metrics over long periods of time. They have Character — with roots. Which one are you? How much courage do you have to truly love yourself? — & Be unapologetic about how you live your life & who has access to you. This is why people who love kitties understand her boundaries & standards. She would rather starve than eat low quality. She is always willing to walk away out of self-respect. They are closer to the Divine. Self-love, boundaries & standards can always be gentle, loving, soft & kind but you must express your them & explicitly state your expectations. Anyway, lingering is a waste of everyone’s time. So you’re doing them a favor by having clarity. Again — Standards are self-love in action. Don’t feel guilty. More conviction. Simply, a “No, Thank you.” Or “I would prefer it if we XYZ.” “She is a friend, I’d prefer if we talked about something else.” “Would you like to do XYZ instead?” Ask & you shall receive. Self-love sets you free — It is the beginning & end of everything. 💋 XX

✨Color is expression. Color is rebellion. Color is our connection with Nature — Source. Why are they trying to erase it? The Elegance of Color: How Our World is Losing Its Vibrancy, The Obsession with Neutrals, Minimalism & Why It Matters. ✨There was a time when the world was alive with color. A time when every street, every garment, and every piece of architecture sang with vibrant hues, echoing the joy, passion, and diversity of the people who created them. ✨The decline in the use of color can be traced back to the 19th century, during the Industrial Revolution, when Western society began to equate muted tones with professionalism, intellect, and seriousness. Bright, vivid colors were increasingly associated with emotion, femininity, and the “uncivilized” other—qualities that the rational, industrial world sought to suppress. ✨Architect Adolf Loos, a key figure in the modernist movement, famously declared that “ornament is a crime,” advocating for a minimalist aesthetic that rejected color as primitive and unsophisticated. Loos’s views were embraced by the upper echelons of Western society, who saw themselves as the arbiters of taste and refinement. As a result, color began to be stripped away from fashion, art, and architecture, replaced by a palette of neutrals that was seen as more refined and intellectual. ✨But this shift didn’t just reflect a change in aesthetic preferences—it reflected a deeper cultural bias. Color became associated with the “other”—with indigenous peoples, communities of color, and women. It was linked to the idea of the feminine, the emotional, the unrestrained. And as Western society sought to distance itself from these “uncivilized” qualities, it also distanced itself from color — Femininity — and also, Nature’s wildness. ✨As modern author Alok Vaid-Menon describes it; “historically colour became associated with indigenous people, with communities of colour, and with women. And so then colour became associated with anti-reason, emotion, unrestraint, unbridled ways of being.” — Also known as Femininity, which is wild, mercurial & Lethal. This is the same reason they burned the witches. They could not control them — They were too powerful & deeply connected with Nature. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Color says I’m not afraid to be Seen. I love neutrals, but a pop of vibrant peacock, ballet pink — Yin colors that occur in Nature take it to another level. Why fit in, when you were born to stand out? Full article:
An elegant style tip: Only wear colors that occur in Nature🌸✨a touch of sparkle from the stars — a lovely shade of peacock turquoise. Women become more feminine when they embrace Yin colors. Notice, I didn’t say pastel — Even a cobalt blue & pop of purple can dazzle, but the proportion is key — When creating a capsule collection wardrobe, versatility is key & Soft neutrals are the foundations we build upon. 80/20 rule.

I asked the most gorgeous, fit, smiley, bubbly woman at my gym today who is 60+ & looks like she’s 40 — What her secrets are to being this energetic & youthful & you know what she said? “I healed my relationship with my mom & forgave her. So I feel like my hormones finally settled down & stopped fighting. Something inside me change & I reverse aged.” Beauty truly is inside out. This is why I keep saying health is a 360 degree approach with all these unseen subtle energies at play, of course our emotions get stored in the body. When we let go of all the little ways we are in constant resistance, like heavy energies, guilt, resentment, indecision, lying to ourselves & others — The body can finally relax & when we relax, thrive & play — Our DNA optimizes. Our hormones become more Venusian. Feminine. Hourglass. Juicy. The body heals itself. Life is simple // We make it complicated. It’s not always about doing more — but also about cleansing, simplifying & removing. Emotionally, physically & spiritually, Vibrant health is often a reflection what we are ✨not doing✨ — Not partaking in ugly thoughts, immoral behavior — Not listening to negativity, quickly removing yourself from lower frequencies. Never compromising your standards or dignity. I truly believe the root of all disharmony is going against our innate knowing — Our purity & inner Voice — Our self-love has to be unshakable & potent. If we don’t love our mothers, or at least accept them, how can we truly love ourselves? To truly see & reach our highest greatest potential, power, beauty & magic. We have to look deep beneath the surface. To ascend — You must first descend, ground & go inwards. We know in our hearts that the Mother is the root of the Tree — The womb of life. Our connection & source to the Divine. For without watering those roots — The plant may live — But the juicy fruits will not thrive. Deep wisdom in this. The answer is always Yin, it’s always her 🌙 Anything that’s not inspiring, uplifting & elevating has to go. Forgiveness is a gift to yourself — Grace is a gift for them. Set it free🕊️🌸✨
