How are you going to reach the tree of knowing?
The climb is not a cake walk
It is tough to balance on the way up or down.
You are at the base.
And yet you are not grounded.
In the knowing that sets you free.
At times you climb almost all the way.
But think twice about entering its core
For it is demanding.
Life never comes with a planbook
All happens in the living.
All is meant to flow along the way.
Things refine or distort
To change or transform
Into new paths of purpose.
All, a leap of faith
To reach beyond knowing.

Jive Dance Workshops
Hi all,
To all my dear readers followers and friends.
I will be conducting the Weekend Dance workshops series begining this October 2019 @Pune India . Will be kicking off with the Jive Basics & Beyond Workshop starting this Sat and Sun 19th and 20 th Oct.
No prior dance experience is required for this workshop.
Dancing the Jive is one of my personal favorites. And yes this music makes you feel happy and alive.
You can’t help feeling great!
What it entails.
The course is spread over two days .
Focus will be of course be building on basics of the Dance and partnering skills .
Beyond the basics we will also be focusing on tips and tricks to make your dancing not only easy but enjoyable for you as well as your partner .
Every dance style has a special effect on us as dancers and this dance worshop will certainly keep you happily dancing.
If you are a beginner and want to learn to dance the basics and get dancing confidently on the floor this is just right you.
If you are a solo dancer but would like to learn to dance with a partner this is just perfect for you.
If you are the kind who sits out at parties for the fear of not knowing how to dance, may be this simplifies it all!
If you are looking to put on your dancing shoes and dance your heart out… Make sure you are there.
If you are looking to brush up your concepts and skills, this would be just right for you too.
Age is no bar to learn to dance.
Dancing is not just about the steps or how you dance but how you feel and how you make another feel as you dance.
So put on your dancing shoes and let’s meet on the dance floor!💃🙂💃

Vibrancy
Be aware that your hands are like antennae, able to pick up currents of energy from space as well as send them out. But for your hands to be able some day to attract and send out only beneficial currents, you must first pay great attention to the gestures you make in everyday life, for every gesture, however insignificant, produces a vibration. Whatever task you are performing, try to make measured, harmonious gestures, in the knowledge that you are activating forces and elements that will allow you to transpose what you are doing onto the spiritual level and therefore attain the higher levels of life. True spirituality consists in using any kind of work as a means to bring your thoughts, feelings and movements into tune with cosmic harmony. Each movement you imbue with a divine idea is recorded in the archives of your higher consciousness, from where all beneficial energies, such as love, hope and joy, will spring. – Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
You are a dance of energy
Every move you make
Every step you take
Every thought you think
Every word you speak
Creates vibrations in space
Make sure to tune in.
Align your mind and body
Make way for harmony
Flow in synchrony
Sense the peace love and joy
Emanate with joy
In and all around you.
Dance on in awareness

Surreal Expressions
Expressions of a beautiful mind indeed!
This very impressive piece of work by Polish artist Jacek Yerka called the Bible Dam caught my attention…
A few musings on similar lines.
If all the knowledge of the world
Could be collected and channeled
To flow into a ocean of knowing
Ready to pour out the learning
Crystallized into books for the reading
Ever ready in the giving
To ease the receiving.
What a wise world it would be!
But is knowing simply enough?
Knowledge is willing to be shared
But is the learning enough?
To make the world wise
Without the experiences to practice
No knowledge can be worthy
And no knowing really useful.
Life is in the knowing, sharing learning processing, experiencing & most of all in the living.

On Knowing Your Worth
A lesson to learn!!!
A father before he died said to his son: “this is a watch your grandfather gave me and is more than 200 years old. But before I give it to you, go to the watch shop on the first street, and tell him I want to sell it, and see how much he offers you”.He went, and then came back to his father, and said, “the watchmaker offered 5 dollars because it’s old”.He said to him: “go to the coffee shop”.He went and then came back, and said: “He offered $5 father”.“Go to the museum and show that watch”.He went then came back, and said to his father “They offered me a million dollars for this piece”.The father said: “I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way.Don’t find yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you are not valued.Those that know your value are those who appreciate you, don’t stay in a place where nobody sees your value”.
Know your worth.
This beautiful share by a friend says much in this short story.
What happened to coexistence?
The picture above was shared by a dear friend on social media. It speaks the truth of life today.
Helplessly surviving the carelessness of mankind,
These birds are seen flying after their own once lived homes.
Totally shattered and in deep despair.
Isnt this world theirs too?
As logs of wood are transported
It’s hard to see them fly this way
Searching for their lost homes.
Desperate to find their babies in the woods.
Wooded forests are fast disappearing
Birds are losing their safe havens
They are clueless where to nest
They have no place to roost and rest
Why is the human being so monstrous
It is nothing short of disastrous
It is wrong of us to tamper the ecosystem
And be without any guilt or remorse.
Cutting and felling the trees
Burning the world’s forest cover
Where would we go without the oxygen
How can we survive without clean air?
Why are we playing with fire?
Can we each undo the damage?
In adopting sustainable ways of living.
Every bit will make a difference…
If we only understand
Every element has a purpose
Every matter exists for a reason
Every life is strengthened in the interconnects.
Let’s care and nurture trees
Let’s plant and grow more trees
Let’s help the birds live on trees
Let us learn to coexist, so every life will breathe easy.

Spectre of brilliance
Spectre of brilliance
An opera in the sky
A dance of dazzling lights
Of colours flashing through.
Luminescent beyond compare
Magical spectacle of brilliance in the flow
An undulating waltz in the yonder
An unveiling of earth’s myriad wonders.
Such an ethereal vision
Mystical northern lights
Unbelievable, unforgettable
Awesomeness beyond mere words.

A Reciprocal Arrangement
A Reciprocal Arrangement
Sometimes when we question
The very nature of being
On acts of all kinds
In awareness and without
Of stumbles and fumbles
In tethering through
And managing life and living
We awaken to the truth of the matter
Of a reciprocal arrangement.
In the cycle of life
Of nature in its infinite abundance
Of intentions in its infinite expressions
Of unfolding of paths yet known
Of unveiling of myriad patterns
All in the continuum of consciousness.
All is as it is meant to flow.
Trust life to lead your way.
All is well as it is meant to be.
For such is the circle of life.
All goes hand in hand.
Each, of value for the other
In some unknown way.
Know there is an answer to every question.
A solution for every problem.
A clarity for every confusion.
A resolution for every conflict.
And freedom of choice in spite of restraint.

To Dance…
“To dance is to move with the strength of earth below you, sensing and knowing the grounding beneath you of your convictions.
To dance is to freely be able to improvise your physical and emotional self with the quality of fluidity like the flowing water.
To dance is to ignite the power of passion and fire up your creative movements.
To dance is to be able to glide as if you are as light as the air and soar in grace, as you feel the wind enveloping yet beckoning you to scale new heights of harmonious effusion while dancing with a conscious awareness of your edges and spaces that you occupy in this beautiful amazing world”
Savvy
Life is how you live it.
Live fully
No half measures.
Live in the moment
& make it so beautiful
It will be worth remembering.

Chiseling Along The Way…
Evolution is a matter of chiseling
Of discarding the unnecessary.
Chiselling towards perfection
Weeding out the unwanted.
Until there is clarity of purpose.
Chiselling goes on cutting through
The edges of existence
To arrive at the core of the being.
That stays true to its form
The rest fall off unbound
Leaving the essence to come alive
Breathing life into the being.
Such is the act of chiselling
To reach the purpose of the being.
Each of us helps the other
Uncover the truth of our soul.
For life shapes up
As matter takes form
Igniting the spark of energy
To mould the spirit of the being.
And spirit willing we can keep on
Sculpting… the process of evolving
For the better of the world, we belong.
Revealing the meaning of life and living.
Came across this interesting picture on social media and these were my immediate thoughts.
Do care to share your thoughts.

Be Comfortable With Being you!
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you begin to make a positive impact on this world on many levels.
All it takes is being the authentic you!
Circle of Love
As you go through daily life just care to remind yourself that you are being watched over and cared for …this will bring you immense peace and transmit universal love 🙂

Path to Paradise
Is there any doubt
Of another heaven
When life brings forth
Paradise closer home.
Do we still need
To clamour for heaven
When heaven is strewn
All around ourselves.
The path of paradise
Is strewn with wisdom
Of life and living.
Truth of nature abounds .
Savvy
Seeing the beautiful picture of the enchanting wooded pathway strewn with bounties of nature, compels me to appreciate and value the beauty of life and living more than ever before.

Every day is animals day!
World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
Leaving you with a beautiful quote share here….
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.
