Below is a lesson from davidji on connecting to your inner strength, as well as our key learnings.

The Blue Courage team is dedicated to continual learning and growth.  We have adopted a concept from Simon Sinek’s Start With Why team called “Learn, Share, Grow”.  We are constantly finding great articles, videos, and readings that have so much learning.  As we learn new and great things, this new knowledge should be shared for everyone to then grow from.

Connecting to Your Dhri

davidji

There is an ancient concept – thousands of years old – that is called Dhri.

The literal meaning of dhri is “that which upholds.” Thousands of years ago, seekers came back to this universal question, noting that dhri was the force that held the stars apart and the universe together.

What a profound concept! Imagine a power so great, that it can hold stars apart, and the universe together. 

So I’d like to ask you – what holds your stars apart and your universe together? 

What is it, that ignites your heart, and illuminates your soul?

Key learnings:

• Dhri (pronounced dhree) means “that which upholds” – an ancient concept representing the force that holds the universe and stars in place.

• It is both gravity and anti-gravity, symbolizing the internal power that keeps us balanced amidst life’s extremes.
• Dhri invites us to reflect on our inner anchor — what within us holds everything together when life feels chaotic. Inner strength.
• When you’re stuck or overthinking, introduce a 16-second breathing practice to reset — a simple pattern interrupt to return to presence.

• Self-inquiry is essential – journaling on what “ignites your heart and illuminates your soul” can lead to profound clarity.

• Journaling or meditating on this question before or after stillness can bring clarity and direction.

• Your inner knowing is an anchor – returning to your core truths helps navigate life’s noise and uncertainty.

• In the chaos, we are the calm – we hold the stillness within us, even amidst external turbulence.

• All answers lie within – life is an exploration, and our internal guidance is always available. 

Journaling Prompt:

What is the force within me that holds my world together, even when everything around me feels uncertain? What ignites my heart and lights my soul — and how can I return to that place when life gets chaotic?

Take your time with it. Let your words flow without judgment — sometimes the deepest truths emerge in the pauses between thoughts.
