Embracing the End of 2024: A Journey of Resilience, Growth, New Horizons

Pooja Grover — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:35:53 +0000

As the final day of 2024 unfolds, I find myself reflecting on the last decade – a journey marked by profound transformation, heart-wrenching challenges, and extraordinary growth. This year feels like the closing chapter of an era, tying together lessons that healed old karmic cycles and prepared me for a future filled with new beginnings.

This isn’t just a farewell to a year – it’s a celebration of resilience, transformation, and stepping into a brighter future.

I was 37 when life brought me to a breaking point. On a turbulent drive home, my inner world was in chaos, my body felt numb, and it seemed as though life was slipping away like sand through my hands. It was a moment of reckoning – a moment that marked the beginning of a new journey to rediscover myself, a journey to find strength within, a journey of learning to surrender, a journey of losing myself to discover a new me. It became a path of lessons, resilience, and profound growth.

By 38, life forced me to pause as I faced a complete mental and physical breakdown. It was during this time that I began expressing my soul through art once again, finding solace in creativity amidst the storm.

At 39, the question Who am I?, left me paralyzed, shattering everything I thought I knew about myself. It was from that space of questioning that Mindful Intuitions was born – a seed of hope planted in the depths of uncertainty.

At 41, I began to see the whispers of the universe guiding me. My soul was speaking through the art I was creating, revealing the shadows within and encouraging me to explore its depths. Through this journey of shadow work, I uncovered pieces of myself that I had long buried, allowing the light to filter through.

At 42, life stripped me bare. Everything I had identified with – roles, labels, and comfort zones – was taken away. It was the darkest night of my soul, leaving me lost and heartbroken. Yet, in that emptiness, another question emerged: Why am I here? Through that question, I began to learn the power of detachment, the inevitability of change, and the deep well of strength within resilience.

Just as I thought I had mastered detachment, 44 arrived with another storm. It swept away the remnants of identity I still clung to, dismantling my ego piece by piece. I was forced to let go of fear, lean into the chaos, and trust the process. In the heart of the storm, I learned to dance in the rain, embrace the flow of life, and recognize that every crack in my heart was a doorway to deeper wisdom.

Now, as I prepare to welcome 47, something feels profoundly different. The past months have felt like moving through a birthing canal – intense and raw – but illuminated by a radiant light that comes from within. In this moment, I fully embrace the truth that the light within me has grown stronger and brighter through every challenge I’ve faced.

2024 has been a year of release, resilience, and transformation. It has paved the way for a new era of abundance, growth, and limitless possibilities. To those navigating their own storms, let this be a reminder: every breakdown holds the seed of a breakthrough. The light you seek is already within you.

Here’s to closing karmic cycles, embracing the flow, and stepping into a future full of hope and infinite potential. As 2025 dawns, so does a new chapter in my life. I am ready. Let’s step forward together!

If you’re navigating your own storm or seeking clarity in uncertain times, this is a message of hope and transformation for you.

On a Quest!

Pooja Grover — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:00:30 +0000

Finding answer to a pressing question, “Who am I?”

Did you know that I sign my artwork as Mindful Intuitions and don’t use my given name?

Ever wondered who you are? Identity crisis is real and believe it or not, many of us face the question “Who am I?” at some point in our lives.

2020 has been a rocking year for me so far, personally. The transformation, as I know it, began a few years ago when I mindfully chose to let go of my given name and not associate it with my artwork. That was my first step towards the transformational healing journey that I set my foot on, not knowing where I am heading but having this gut wrenching feeling of detaching my art from my given name, losing myself the way the world knows me and beginning the quest to finding the answer to a pressing question, “Who am I?” At that point in time I had no clue how deeply impacted I will be as I embark on this journey in the unknown realms of my being.

What began merely as a healing journey, an attempt to explore the depths of my being, a conscious effort to explore my emotions and use textures to express those deeper feelings on the canvas, brought awareness and led me on the path to spiritual awakening. What started as an adventurous journey of self-discovery has actually brought profound healing and deep relaxation. My perception of the world changed as I opened my heart to receive the blessings of the universe.

The journey of painting my Mindful Intuitions seems to have just begun…

As I dive into the deep uncharted territory of the deepest layers of my soul, I become fully awake in every moment of my being. Awareness of breath takes me on a magical journey of exploring the deep emotions and creatively expressing them through intuitive art. This brings deep relaxation and awakening, unfolding the mysteries of life as I walk in faith and learn to surrender. Guided mindfulness meditation, breathwork, healing mantras, Reiki energy healing, chakra balancing and energy clearing whilst allowing my intuition to be expressed through colours are a part of my healing routine and help me raise my vibrations to connect with my highest self.

Would you like to indulge in mindfulness based intuitive art therapy?

Would you like to find inner peace through breathwork and healing mantras?

Do you want to move towards breathtaking new levels of intuition?

Would you like to elevate yourself to your optimum potential?

Connect with me NOW and allow me to take you on a journey to finding inner peace and meeting new ‘YOU’.

5 Steps to Happiness Unlimited

Pooja Grover — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 00:00:06 +0000

A mindful journey to cultivating true happiness

Happiness is the blissful feeling of content and joy experienced when our life fulfills our needs and when life is just as it should be. We can always stay in the state of happiness if we develop emotional intelligence and a growth mindset. This shift will allow us to harness the power of our minds so as to feel happy within, independently of the state of our outside world. Happiness doesn’t happen by accident but is cultivated and nurtured through mindful living and peaceful thinking. True happiness, when found within, creates space for enriched experiences in life allowing us to reach our full potential stepping into a purposeful life.

Let’s embark on a mindful journey to cultivating true happiness, together!

Identifying our true desires
We all have many desires and in our quest to fulfill them we create suffering for our soul. Our desires are much influenced by the souls around us or in other words, the people in our lives, in one way or the other. Our very attachment to such desires zaps our joy and we become slaves to them. Diving deep into our souls through mindfulness meditation, the act of creating stillness in our minds, we can discover or identify our soul’s true desires, focusing on which will lead us to the path of true happiness.

Releasing our limiting beliefs and patterns
Underneath the deepest layers of our soul lies true happiness. Peel the layers of limiting beliefs, habits and patterns that we form on the Divine Blueprint of our soul as we go through the journey of our soul. As we do so, we release all that doesn’t serve us or is not for our higher good and walk into light embracing the new beginnings. We get aligned with who we are based on our Divine Blueprint and anchor ourselves within. This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a lot of patience and will power to make those innumerable trips diving into the depths of our soul, identifying and letting go of limiting beliefs, patterns and conditioning, rewiring for joy, creating space for the Universal Life Force to work through us.

Developing our new identity
Mindful willingness to step into the uncharted territory learning a whole new set of thoughts, beliefs and emotions can open doors to endless possibilities. Consciously slipping into the growth mindset whilst aligning our thoughts and feelings so that they are consistent brings shifts in our energy as thoughts are the language of our mind and feelings are the language of our body. Embracing these shifts and willingly developing our new identity within sets us on the path of unparalleled success and true happiness.

Learning to control our emotions
Emotions lead to actions and actions lead to results. Learning to control our emotions so that they work for us and not against us, cutting the cords with the past memories and not stressing about the future whilst bringing all our focus to the present moment allows us to create space for experiencing true happiness in the present moment. Discovering the power of forgiveness for ourselves and for others sets our soul free by allowing us to let go of what may be holding us back from true happiness.

Reclaiming our power
Practicing emotional self-control sets us on the journey to reclaiming our power back. We become anchored in the present moment, unleash true happiness and experience heavenly bliss. We experience freedom from all bondages. Our spirit becomes free of burdens from the past and the worries of the future whilst enjoying true happiness as we create more balance in our life unleashing our joy, walking on the path to unlimited happiness.

Do you need help opening the portal to unlimited happiness? Consider having a ‘Happiness Unlimited’ session to identify the blockages holding you back from experiencing true happiness? Do you need help building self-esteem and reducing depression and anxiety?

Enjoy the Moment! Let it be!

Pooja Grover — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 00:00:40 +0000

Hearing the whispers of life

I immersed myself in the world of colours and creativity to find some recite when the going got tougher. Least did I know that I am embarking on a journey of not just healing my body but my mind and soul too. Art became a gateway into mindfulness and I started painting my own Mindful Intuitions.

My artwork inspires me to keep growing and living a more genuine, loving and meaningful life. Soon, I started realizing that it is by going deep into the ocean of my own inner self that I was discovering the real treasures of life. By accepting the ceaseless sounds of the waves of thoughts in my head, by focusing on the sounds themselves and then eventually embracing them by living in the moment changed the very fundamentals of my life; inviting peace, calm and serenity in my life. I was on the path of finding the real treasures of life glittering amidst the calming waves of the ocean. Life whispered, “Enjoy the moment! Let it be!”

My healing journey encouraged me to calm my body and mind amidst the daily chatter of thought while staying light-hearted and keeping a positive outlook towards life. My creative adventures took my mind on a journey into realms less known to the ordinary. The steps that led me on my mindful journey guided by my creativity bringing healing can be followed by anyone who is on a quest to finding their true selves.

Practicing Mindfulness
Practicing Mindfulness includes but is not limited to
- Acceptance
  Focusing on the present rather than dwelling on the mistakes of the past or worrying about the hypothetical outcomes of the future invites acceptance in our lives. When we accept whatever good or bad that has happened to us without any judgement, realizing that those adversities were not stumbling blocks but stepping stones that helped us grow and be where we are today, we invite peace and calm in our lives.
- Awareness
  Becoming aware of our environment as well as events, possibilities and potentialities within our environment helps us tune ourselves to better understand how to channelize our energy. Awareness opens many doors of possibilities of enhanced growth.
- Releasing Stress
  Focusing on breath has innumerable benefits. Pausing, quieting the mind and focusing on breathing for a couple minutes brings the focus back to the present moment enhancing our ability to perform our tasks better. This releases stress and directly affects our overall performance.
- Releasing Fear
  Putting things in perspective and looking at our obstacles as stepping stones releases the fear of uncertainty allowing us to manage our tasks in hand much more efficiently and effectively. Setting smaller manageable goals can actually be motivating and help alleviate fear.
- Setting Intentions
  Mindfulness helps us embrace who we are in the present moment and this leads us to set intentions about the work we do. Embracing the present moment helps us accept and fall in love with the change as the change inspires new ideas to implement in a work environment, in turn boosting our performance at work.

Guided Meditation
Guided meditation promotes relaxation, reduces stress and related problems, helps manage pains while promoting mental, emotional and physical healing. Meditation is a great tool to manage stress and enhance self-awareness as it helps gain a new perspective on a stressful situation while reducing negative emotions.

Exploring Inner Landscape
When we turn inwards, we begin to explore who we are as a person. This helps us discover areas that need our focus and attention. We choose colours that speak to us in that particular moment and for each one of us, the choice of colours is different and so is the focus of our painting which when created reflects our inner landscape.

Expressing and Releasing Emotions
Pretending, avoiding, and denying uncomfortable emotions in an effort of self-preservation as a defense mechanism is normal human behaviour. When we use colours, textures, symbols and mark making to express the depths of our soul, we bring what’s hidden inside out on the canvas. This helps us process our emotions and move the energy of emotion through and out the body so we can let it go and promote healing.

Namaste!

5 Steps to Mindfulness Through Art

Pooja Grover — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 00:00:35 +0000

Finding inner peace and calm through art

Our emotions and thoughts are the foundation of mindful living. Cultivating presence, acceptance and allowing our emotions to flow freely while experiencing those moments of pause as the doorway to artful living.

My creative journey has been quite exhilarating. What started as a therapy to take my mind off my bodily pains in order to find some comfort while weaning from the prescription medicines which literally made me feel like a zombie, took an interesting turn when I chose to not associate my given name with my artwork and instead sign my artwork as ‘Mindful Intuitions’. That very day I set foot on an uncharted territory and my ‘journey within’, as I like to call it, began.

The 5 Steps to Mindfulness Through Art that sum up my creative and spiritual journey can be followed by every soul that is on a quest to find inner peace and calm through art.

‘NOW’ is the Moment! Cultivate Presence! Allowing ourselves to create art in the moment, expressing our emotions in the ‘NOW’ moment is the beginning of letting go of control and trusting the process. Letting the mindful art begin, watching it’s flow, shushing our thoughts to experience the calm it brings to our mind, body and soul is an art in itself – art of living in the moment. Cultivate Presence!
Mistakes are Opportunities! Invite Awareness! The mere thought of making our first marks on the blank canvas brings uncertainty, fear of making mistakes and makes us question our decision of exploring our emotions as that opens the doorway to vulnerability. Create anyway! Being vulnerable and allowing ourselves to make those mistakes is an opportunity to be aware of our emotions and know ourselves better so as to move towards healing. Invite Awareness!
Enjoy that Risk! Create Abundance! Being aware of the obstacles allows us to question our beliefs. We clearly see ourselves living a life full of excuses induced by the fear of stepping outside our comfort zones and risking wandering in the uncharted territories. Step outside anyway! Colours speak the language of our soul and our art becomes a true reflection of our internal landscape when we start enjoying these risks and invite transformation. Let’s believe that we are worthy of living a life full of love, joy, peace and tranquility that creativity brings. Create Abundance!
Experience the Joy! Make the Mark! Inhaling abundance and exhaling fear translates to pure joy, the vibration of which can be felt in all the chakras, the energy centers of our body. Let’s splatter the paint on the canvas, sprinkle that glitter while watching that artwork of ours’ evolve and come to life as we intentionally make those marks which will not only connect our souls with our artwork but also of the ones who see our creation. Choosing our words, actions and thoughts wisely give us immense power to not only shape our life but also to make a difference in that of others around us. Thoughts are powerful! Make the Mark!
Change is Inevitable! Embrace the Change! Our choices determine the path we take to manifest our dreams. Transforming our thoughts, one thought at a time, brings a huge shift in energy around us and the change becomes inevitable. Our growth is eminent and this shift becomes the very foundation of our spiritual growth. This transformation affects us at all levels of consciousness – personality, thought and feelings. We feel and realize at a profound level our interconnectedness with all that is around us, knowing we are one as energy. Embrace the Change!

Namaste!

‘The Journey Has Just Begun’…

Pooja Grover — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 00:00:19 +0000

Finding New ‘ME’

Having been an optimist since childhood, I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs in life. I’ve touched my lows and have bounced back to face life with renewed hope. What couldn’t break me definitely made me stronger as each new day came with a new challenge. Life hasn’t been a bed of roses and I’m sure many of you can relate with me atleast in this aspect. I have shed innumerable tears, been through heartache and had fallen face first a few times in the so-called field of life. I have been through crippling pains and saw my medical file being transferred from one specialist to another for years just to hear that the pain was in my head. Two surgeries and medications that made me feel like a zombie sent fears down my spine as I raised two young children with my husband by my side. But when life couldn’t break me, it misunderstood me and I found myself in a deep black hole with no ray of hope. It was then that I turned towards expressing myself through art.

Holding a brush was very painful due to physical pains my body just couldn’t endure but something in me kept that warrior spirit alive. I turned towards some techniques learnt during high school and started creating my own texture paste to slather on the canvas with palette knives to create interesting textures which had their own bumps just like my life had at that moment in time. Soon I developed my own style and kept experimenting with different kinds of textures made from things that were readily available around my house. There was spark in my eyes and I had found a way to express my soul. Colours started to speak to me and I found myself being attracted to the metallics and sparkles. I had found new ‘ME’ and I started spreading the sparkles through my artwork. Every artwork of mine had a little sparkle of my new found self giving ‘HOPE’ to people who would connect with my artwork. This brought immense joy and peace to my heart. Life was not the same as something had changed within me; something that gave me hope and courage to look beyond my pains while giving me a platform to safely express my deepest feelings and emotions.

I mindfully chose to let go of my given name and not associate it with my artwork, hiding behind the name ‘Mindful Intuitions’ and stepping into the world of transformation and deep healing.. This was my first step in an uncharted territory but my determination and willingness to trust the process had a snowball effect and slowly I found myself managing my physical pains without the prescription drugs. Slowly, I weaned myself off the over the counter painkillers as I started practicing mindfulness and learnt to live in the moment.

Life was different and interesting at the same time as I was thinking outside the box, painting my ‘Mindful Intuitions’ and expressing them in words as well. Each artwork that I created carried an inspirational message and I started writing that message to spread the sparkles not just through my art but also through uplifting words for whosoever needed a little inspiration to pull through ‘LIFE’. This burning desire to spread inspiration through my art and make it affordable at the same time, inspired me to use my graphic design skills to create inspirational art cards of my original artwork and I’ve never looked back since then. These inspirational art cards have brought joy to many wonderful souls in turn bringing immense joy and peace to my soul. Today, I have a collection of such inspirational art cards which are spreading their sparkles around and uplifting souls.

Art, mindful living and my burning desire to spread some sparkles around has lit up my path and I can confidently say, ‘THE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN’…

Namaste!

Note: The featured artwork is titled ‘Ongoing Journey of Life’ and is one of the artwork that I created when I thought that the journey of ‘Mindful Intuitions’ had just begun… Years later, the spark in my eyes still exists, I grew and transformed, learnt how to harness my soul power not just with intuitive mindful art but also with the art of energy healing; and again I can confidently say, ‘THE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN’…

My Creative Journey… A Sneak Peak…

Pooja Grover — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 00:00:22 +0000

Namaste, Divine Souls!

Welcome to Mindful Intuitions!

I’m an intuitive visual artist who is passionate about creating mindful moments, spreading my love for art and deep understanding of soulful connections through my artwork. My creative journey began when I was a child. Not just art in it’s various forms but literature as well has been a vehicle for me to express my deepest feelings in a profound yet creative way. This reflects in the mindful art that I create as well as in the penned down deeper meanings of my artwork. I believe that my soul has been on a very long creative journey and I have miles to go before I rest.

I’m privileged to have had an opportunity to learn the creative techniques under the guidance and supervision of my guru Mr. Ajay Negi who instilled in me the love for mixed media artwork in high school. He inspired me to create art in his own very special way. He taught me to splash colours on the blank canvas and let go of my fears without worrying about the end result. Isn’t that the coolest lesson ever? Learning the technique of letting go and living in the moment without worrying about tomorrow….. I’m blessed to have his guidance and support to date along with the unwavering support of my loving family who have always believed in my inherent talents.

Every time I create art, I seem to have a visual conversation with myself which makes the process of creation quite lively. Art is my gateway into mindfulness and into the deeper realms of my soul. I intend to use this blog as a personal space to dive into my soul, reflect, express myself through words that come straight from the core of my heart and share my creative journey to inspire the souls who just need that extra little reminder to see as well as appreciate the beauty outside and within their soul.

My vision is to spread some sparkles wherever I go and touch the souls around me at a much deeper level with the pearls of inspiration with my soulful, inspirational and intuitive art. I intend to take you with me on this creative journey, allowing you to open the petals of your soul one by one and experience the immense happiness that comes from harnessing the soul power.

Stay Tuned!
