Loved these reflections! I moved back in September and went through this exact process. Hold onto the hope and belief. By what felt like a miracle (because it was), I landed my spot and it was all worth it🙏🏼
Great read, Manoj! birds are my main glimmers, too. I actively cultivate the ability to experience glimmers and synchronicities. It’s amazing how the more you acknowledge them, the more they pop up!
Birds are my glimmers. I live on a bush block in Central Vic. As idyllic as that sounds, I often focus on the mess. The downed trees, the endless weeds, the peeling paint of the house after another hot summer. But when I stop and listen to the birds I remember how lucky I am. You don't hear birds if there is a threat to safety. They are silent, ahead of weather events like fire or flood. There are no birds in war zones. Birds are a glimmer.
The glimmers I have noticed lately are the spaces between deep breaths and the birds singing when I take the dog for a walk, especially when the neighborhood is quiet
Manoj, thank you for sharing, I really resonated with what you said about the evolution of your meditation practice. Perhaps it comes with the complexity of a fuller life or with our current times, but for me, meditation used to be a privilege, now it’s more of a necessity.
thanks for these lovely thoughts friend. I felt them so deeply and felt seen in them. it reminded me to be kinder to myself as i navigate and continue to find some baseline on my prayer mat as well. it was also a beautiful and gentle reminder for awareness of those glimmers are the truly everywhere, just not seemingly as loud as the triggers. wishing you all the positive energy and luck on this physical home journey <3 -sahar
The more i ask for ‘eyes to see, ears to hear,’ the more i see & hear!Smiling humans, smiling dogs! People that have outrageously loud laughs, that cause me to laugh outrageously loud too!

We love to hear it!
The sun shining through the window and the warmth of the sun. ☀️
This one gets me all the time.
Glimmers look different to me every day.
I like it that way because it reminds me (especially on the tougher days) they are truly everywhere.
You just have to be open to notice them.
Today’s glimmers: reading your words. Lots of resonance. Thank u Manoj

Thanks Lili! Listening to yours and everyone else's glimmers is my glimmer this morning. So much beauty if we're present enough to seem them.

Birds are such sweet messengers!
nothing will test your mindfulness practice like a 15% broker fee on a unit with no windows 🙂🙂🙂

Absolutely loved this! "From chasing altered states to simply staying human."
