The Ripple Effect

We often think of our actions with the perspective that they have an immediate effect. That is true, our actions have immediate influences. However, the good and bad news is that they also have long term effects that go beyond our imagination. Allow me to explain this through slightly exaggerated examples.
When I was in Sri Shakti Amma’s ashram, I was introduced to their “Green Shakti” programme. Green Shakti empowers over 1638 farmers who plant saplings in their villages. Each farmer is given 500 fruit bearing plants, leading to the planting of 6m saplings within just one year. The effect of this program is not only immediate in relieving those farmers of poverty, it also has a compounded effect on the environment, and on the generations to come of these families (through better education and life choices).
An opposite example is one I encountered this morning. During the morning rush hour, many cars took the emergency
lane in an attempt to skip traffic and cut off cars. What they had not anticipated though, is that an ambulance in an
immediate need to get to a patient was blocked because of this. It got me thinking, what if the patient waiting dies
because he had not received help fast enough? What if this person was a father/mother and the children end up committing crime because they had not received the guidance children need from their parents?
I invite you to look at the effects of your actions beyond the immediate moment. Always act with love.

    Weam is the founder of Namaste. She had started a very deep and intense spiritual journey at a young age having refused to continue to suffer with the common challenges of her generation: depression, anxiety and being lost. She insisted that there must be more to life than the constant rat race she was in

    Since delivering her baby in 2007, Weam has been hooked on yoga. Seeing how it transformed her body, and mind, she started practicing regularly fascinated by the way yoga got her to look at her mind and body in broader and more creative ways. Yoga stretched her body and mind beyond her comfort zone and created more space for her within.

    Taking her yoga practice further Weam got certified as a yoga teacher (RYT) and now truly believes that yoga is for everyone . She finds great joys taking people to their own edges to allow for growth and to help individuals achieve their goals whilst respecting their bodies and its limitations.

    Being fascinated by the human mind and body, Weam came across Reiki. The Reiki meditations transformed her emotional and mental state in ways she had not thought possible. Feeling that freedom from the prison of her own mind she decided to dedicate her life to help others find the tools right for their own spiritual growth and inner peace and so Namaste was born.
