Forgiveness and Trust

Forgive those who have wronged you;
we are all doing the best 
we can at any given moment.
Never be ashamed for having trusted;
you will be stronger for the lesson inside the pain.

Coping With Change

Sharing our wisdom is an integral part of living a balanced life. I am honored my Guruji has blessed me with the seva of passing along the lessons I have learned throughout the years.

Today I had the great good fortune of sharing these words with a young man on Instagram. They seemed to resonate, so I share them with you.

LIVE TODAY!

Life is short.
Live today.

~ Bhakti Brophy


As a person with four incurable spinal diseases, living on borrowed time (10 years now), I cannot stress the importance of grabbing life by the reins and forging ahead.

Let no one drag you down.
Let no one crush your spirit.

And if you should fall asunder,
Get back back up
And claim the glory that is
And always has been yours.

The Self within shines as bright as the sun
Whether or not you can see,
Sense, or acknowledge her existence.

The Self is innate
All powerful
Omniscient
And infinitely glorious...

And you are That.

Namo Namah!

Overcoming Obstacles: The Glory Of The Sky (Jai Bhakti™ Blog)

'Was having a rough day today, so mom set me up outside in my reclining chair.It's difficult to be down when surrounded by this beauty. I stared up at the sky for awhile, then meditated. Medicare has denied me access to the medication that makes living with third degree burns going down the INSIDE of my left arm remotely bearable (the medication is roughly $13,000/year. Needless to say, I cannot afford that.). I'm still not sleeping well at night due to the pain and stress, but thank God for this glorious day! It's difficult to be down when surrounded by this beauty.

The sky has always been my refuge. One of the
silver linings of not being able to sit up is that when I'm able to get outside (which is not often, but I'm grateful for the times I do get outside in my recliner or wheelchair) I have to stare at the sky. So many colors and moods...

Don't forget to look up once in awhile!

Enjoy your day.

JAI BHAKTI ™ BLOG: BHAKTI BROPHY'S A WINNER AT CATS AT THE BAR!

Hello Friends!

It's been a long  time since I have been able to blog, as typing is virtually impossible due to the pain caused by my spinal diseases. I'll keep this quick as I SWYPE in my post from my phone:

On a whim, I entered a Haiku contest on the ever silly and wonder-filled blog CATS AT THE BAR...And won!

This has been an incredibly difficult week, what with my father passing in January, my uncle passing last Saturday, and Medicare deciding they no longer wish to pay for the medication that is keeping me alive.* Blah, Blah, Blah...such is life.

Therefore, being honored by T.V. over at CATS AT THE BAR is a beautiful gift of random whimsy. Yet another gift of grace amongst the Maya that is trying to drown this soul (as if!)

Click on THIS LINK to be redirected to the wonderful world of T.V. and his 18+ cats in Canada.

Namo Namah!

Love,

Bhakti

* It is due to weeks like this that I implore my friends, family members, and students to start their sadhana & meditation practices now. If you wait until you need it, you've waited too long!

Upcoming posts include information on my beloved friend JASON BECKER and his 26+ year battle with ALS; Namaskirtana Chants to aid those in the process of dying; Reverend Harriet Hawkins's Sermon on my process of prayer. 

Plus...a Thank you letter (and video!) from one of my students, Joey Grasso.
