It’s 6 a.m. and its still dark outside. We’re on Day 5 of 7 Days of Tantra, and I’m waiting for the message that wants to come through today…. Ok… Well… Here it is… Shiva & Shakti! Lets reflect, meditate & listen to this transmission together… This vision came to me and honestly, I love when both of them come visit me. A good story for today’s morning practice is the old Parvati and Shiva diaglogue from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. In the story, Parvati asks Shiva: “Tell me, my Lord, what is your reality? How may I know the truth of birth and death and the world that moves within it?” Shiva says, that the gateway to the Devine is not far away or hidden in the caves. It’s in the smallest moments of awareness, the pauses between , the space between breaths, the space between two thoughts, the stillness right before a word is spoken. Everytime she notices those spaces, she touches what the text calls Bhairava. The clear, living awareness that pervades everything. The teaching is simple:You don’t reach divinity by leaving the world; you find it by noticing the quiet pulse inside ordinary life. That’s the same spirit as our morning Sādhanā. When you sit with breath, gratitude, sensation, and a question, you’re doing exactly what Parvati did: using the present moment as the scripture. Shiva’s instruction is a reminder that consciousness doesn’t need a temple, it only needs attention. How Journaling Helped me Become more TrueOne thing that has quietly changed my life is journaling. Most of the confusion, fear, or doubt we carry is because we’re unclear. Our emotions get tangled until we can’t tell what we feel from what we think. Writing loosens the knots. When I write, I can finally see myself again. My philosophy teacher used to say: if you want to think deeply, let your thoughts link together like chains and go deeper. Philosophers journal in a way that’s different from ordinary self-reflection. They don’t just record emotions or events, they interrogate them. The page becomes a dialogue partner, a place to test ideas until they reveal their hidden structure. I like to devide my notebook into 3 sections.Subscribe now Here’s how that process usually looks, both historically and practically:The Philosopher’s Journal: A Daily Method1. Observation — “What happened or what am I feeling?” Begin with a short, factual note: something you experienced, read, or felt today. Example: I felt restless after scrolling social media for an hour. 2. Question — “Why does this matter?” Ask why this moment stands out. What does it reveal about your values, habits, or fears? What was I looking for in that scroll? connection, distraction, validation? 3. Definition — “What am I really talking about?” Choose one key word from your observation (restless, success, love, purpose) and define it in your own terms. Restlessness: the tension between what is and what could be. 4. Dialectic — “What is the counterpoint?” Challenge yourself. What might someone else argue? What if the opposite were true? Maybe restlessness isn’t negative but a sign of creative energy waiting for form. 5. Principle — “What is the universal insight?” Extract a broader lesson about human nature, reality, or ethics. All creatures move between contentment and longing; perhaps restlessness is built into growth. 6. Application — “How does this change what I do?” Ground the insight in one small action or awareness for the day. Instead of numbing the restlessness, I’ll use it as a cue to create or to move my body. 7. Reflection — “What remains unsolved?” End with a question you’ll carry forward, an opening rather than a closure. Can restlessness ever coexist with peace? If you do this regularly, the journal becomes a record of evolving philosophy, a place where you watch your mind refine itself. All the great thinkers wrote. Maybe one day, when I’m gone, my notebooks will be little relics of this wild, unfolding life. Before we start the day, take a moment with your journal. Find a quiet spot, a cup of something warm, and explore these questions. ShareMorning Observation Practice(A philosopher’s journal for the heart and body) 1. Gratitude Write three small things you’re grateful for right now. They can be simple: the texture of your sheets, a message from a friend, the quiet before the city wakes. Gratitude teaches the mind to start from abundance instead of lack. 2. Emotion Check Name the main emotion present this morning. What word best describes it? Where do you feel it in your body? (Throat, chest, stomach, limbs, etc.) What might this emotion be asking for? Example: “I feel anxious, a flutter in my chest. Maybe it’s asking for stillness before I move.” 3. Observation What have you noticed so far today—about yourself, your surroundings, or your thoughts? Describe one image, sound, or moment that caught your attention. 4. Inquiry Ask: Why does this stand out to me? What truth or question is it reflecting back? Try to uncover the principle beneath it. 5. Definition Choose one word that sums up what you’re exploring (peace, resistance, desire, clarity). Define it in your own words. 6. Insight / Application What does this reveal about human nature—or about your own pattern? How can you bring this awareness into the next few hours? 7. Closing Reflection One question to carry through your day: What does it mean to stay awake to my own experience? You can keep it short for five minutes of quiet with tea or expand it into a full writing session. Over time, you’ll start to see how your emotional and intellectual patterns weave together. This is how I spend my mornings, I treat my meditations just as important as me brushing my teeth. This way is a form of spiritual hygiene. I personally love drinking cacao to help me ground and on days I feel edgy and restless, I take my Flowdose mushrooms to microdose. This allows me to open up any filters and see a little bit better.
