Home Actress Lisa Ray Instagram Photos and Posts – May 2020 Part 3 Lisa Ray Instagram - Thank you @vanajourney for the opportunity to receive refuge and renew my Boddhisattva vows online with the blessings of Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche on the day of Vesak. The first time I took refuge was @tushitameditationcentre in Dharamasala. In an age of ever increased uncertainty, it was wonderfully surreal to experience Rinpoche’s talk and blessings by webinar. Of course I breathed in my fill of birdsong and Bir mountain air through the screen.

Lisa Ray Instagram – After years of running, Cortisol- the chemical of stress and the source of inflammation in my mind and body- had altered my biochemistry. Did I believe a spiritual disconnect was the source of my illness? Partially, yes. Am I free today of emotional distractions and subconscious chatter? No. But just as you can retrain your palate, I work to retrain my nervous system, coaxing it from the fight or flight response, through daily meditation, retreats, reflection…there’s no short cuts to wholeness. .
.
And I was so afraid of being loved. Until I met myself. Certainly my beloved is my partner in love and life but I needed to lay claim to my pain, to my shadow side as well as my many joys. It is natural to feel, to be vulnerable and to share. It is part of the fabric of the human condition.

I whispered love to myself, like to a child. I saw myself through the tenderness of a mother’s eyes. I sent love into the broken, neglected places of myself. 
I focused on flipping the pain perspective to turn it into a journey towards self love, self discovery and compassion

Now I am glued to life. I have the unshakeable honesty of a woman who knows her worth. I am strange and contradictory, I am ageing and my body is spreading, I’m socially awkward and that’s all right. 
Real wealth, I’ve always believed, is measured by owning your days, not by accumulating homes and cars. I’d always questioned inherited values, so redefining success for myself means this:

Going to the borders of yourself, expanding from there by failing, by falling, by rising. By unearthing buried instinct. By accepting my gifts and my limitations. By laughing. 
Behind the gloss and the gods of economic forces, cities are erupting. Lifetimes of contained anger and resentment, untended wounds land like violent strokes on a canvas. 
Can we, in the time we have alone and confined, pay obeisance to the very human experience of being broken, being misunderstood and vulnerable. Ultimate resilience to me, lies in the ability to open completely to each experience and to know the sublime states of a heart led life. Can we make friends with ourselves before stepping back into the world?
Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @takeonart using @RepostRegramApp – Rabindranath Tagore, the literary scholar, polymath, poet, musician and artist, is best known for reshaping Bengali literature, and Indian art. Tagore began painting relatively late in his career when he was in his sixties. Nevertheless he produced thousands of works and was the first Indian artist to exhibit his works across Europe, Russia and the United States in 1930. His painting style was very individual, characterised by simple bold forms and a rhythmic quality, and later served to inspire many modern Indian artists. Santiniketan embodies Rabindranath Tagore’s vision of a place of learning that is unfettered by religious and regional barriers. Established in 1863 with the aim of helping education go beyond the confines of the classroom, Santiniketan grew into the Visva Bharati University in 1921, attracting some of the most creative minds in the country. In celebration of Santiniketan’s Centenary, our latest issue TAKE Bengal (Part I) explored the history and the contemporary situations in Bengal in order to regenerate an alternate form of history writing. We pay tribute to the great Tagore on his birth anniversary.
