LiFT: Tell us about your book, the journey of writing it and its content?
Naz Chougley: ‘My Simple Being’, a delightful fable, is a transformative odyssey of two songbirds M and T. At its heart, the story revolves around T’s evolution from a timid and silent bird to a powerful being, guided by the mystical mentorship of M.
T, initially confined by her limitations, one fine day dares to fulfill her aspirations to explore the heavens, purely on her guidance to not settle for less. Encouraged by M’s unwavering support and profound insights, she begins to tap into a wellspring of inner strength and connects to a deeper space within the heart. As she passes many tests amidst all her challenges, she forges a path toward her authentic self with Divine grace.
As the narrative unfolds, ‘My Simple Being’ takes the readers on a profound voyage of self-discovery, akin to the journey every soul yearns for. Each chapter explores a rich facet of self-awareness, revealing the power we hold as pure consciousness…I AM!
LiFT: Why you chose this title?
Naz Chougley: We chose this title because it conveys the message of the book. Its a journey back home to our own awareness, which is pure simplicity. The title, ‘My Simple Being’ is a declaration of one’s authencity and sincerity as pure consciousness.
LiFT: When did you realize that you want to be a writer and what’s your inspiration behind it?
Naz Chougley: I was always inclined towards expressing myself through writing as a modality because I feel it allows the flow of thoughts uninterrupted. Besides, it is a very joyous and honest medium of sharing my point of view. It allows creativity to be channeled in ways that expand one’s awareness beyond the ordinary.
LiFT: Where do you see yourself ten years down the line in the world of literature?
Naz Chougley: I aspire to write many books and be recognized amongst prominent authors, having best-selling book collections across the world.
LiFT: How much do you think marketing or quality of a book is necessary to promote a particular book and increase its readers?
Naz Chougley: Indeed, marketing plays a very pivotal role in helping the book reach the masses. Ofcourse, the quality of the content and the author’s intentions must align with the marketing message. We aspire to see our books in world libraries, airports, and renowned bookstores, where people have easy access and can enjoy reading our books at leisure.
LiFT: What is the message you want to spread among folks with your writings?
Naz Chougley: We want our readers to understand that we are Simple Beings, and therefore very powerful as pure consciousness. There is a way out of our sufferings by walking the path of truth. Being authentic to one’s own self and choosing to question the disempowering beliefs handed over by societal conditioning can lead us toward self-realization. It’s time to bust the myth around complex entanglements and free ourselves from the bondage of our mental frameworks. This is about reclaiming and remembering who we are as Simple Beings, and growing evermore in love and deep acceptance, for we truly are Divine!

LiFT: What are the activities you resort to when you face a writer’s block?
Naz Chougley: I take a breather, relax, and surrender to the higher intelligence. It helps to release the emotions of resistance that come from the desire to seek perfection. Once I am aligned, I set fresh intentions to let inspiration flow through me, by meditating on my intent and visualizing the outcome. It is also important to be in a state of joy and not stress if one has to channel better ideas.
