Time evolves one and all,come what may
Yesterday’s mountains have become paths today
Love of life will show the way
As you keep building bridges not walls I say.

It’s all in the breath
Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Healing through breathing…
Here is one of the many techniques that can be practiced in awareness.
Box breathing
A Breathing technique to destress an agitated and tense mind to calm state and improve the mood.
A good practice for all and especially for those with depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD managing pains and insomnia.
The technique is simple and very effective.
1. Sit upright & Start with exhaling air out of your mouth slowly counting 1to 4.
2. Hold for four counts
3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.
4.Again hold for four counts
5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.
As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.
The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.
You can practice box breathing couple of sets in a day as needed to calm down.
Breathe away the stress
And breathe in ease.

Dancing with Prompts
As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.
In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.
Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.
In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.
In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along
Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.
When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.
Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!

LOVE
Sharing light & love…
Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity!
What do you think of it?
Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times, doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!
Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

Inside
What is…
Inside of your mind
Is there peace?
Inside of your heart
Is there love?
Does it feel like a ocean wave
Is flowing through you…
Or a flame of hope rising like a phoenix
Can you hear the distant drums
And dream of hope in the yonder
Or the bells of divine chime within?
Where and how are you
Inside?

Waltz In The Sky
Murmuration
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/A72MZUuTfLFHDNKh/?mibextid=TrneLp
Watch this magical murmuration
In divine interconnection
Countless birds in a dance of symphony
Creating patterns in rhythmic harmony.
An enthralling aerial display.
That moves you with its magical sway
Makes you wish and wonder why
These flock of feathers fly this way!
In the swing and the sway
And the rise and fall
The flight of these birds
Interweave a cohesive harmony.
A rare sight both elusive and enigmatic
Orchestrated with brilliance
Perhaps simply waltzing with abandon
Perhaps to ward off the predator
With such seemingly chaotic order
Every dancing heart will delight
In acknowledging with awe
This dance of sychrony!

On Letting Go
Letting go is never easy
For we are often not ready
Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity
Letting go that which you can’t change
Letting go of yourself beyond the fear
Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back
Letting go of things that no longer serve you
Letting go to create space for something new
Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities
Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…
Learn to let your self go
And watch life transform in and around you…
All it takes is letting go
Think of letting go of the spurious
Like a breath taken
How long will you hold it?
Inhale and exhale are part of life
As you inhale, live life
In knowing the exhale
Is but a circle of life.

Part of something bigger
Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of life and living
The strength of the interconnects.
You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

On Self Worth
Do you sense love for yourself
Do you feel respect for yourself
Do you feel your sense of self esteem
Do you feel a sense of self worth
What is your self worth tied to?
Is it your education
Your fancy degrees
Your knowledge
Your partner?
Or your beauty?
Your abilities?
Is it to your achievements?
Your skills?
Your bank balance?
Or is it to your designation
Your children
Your home?
Your cars?
Your phone?
If you have answered yes honestly to any of the above please think again
Work on your independence
Free your mind free your heart
Free yourself from chains
Practice unshackling
Try to detach your self worth
From material things.
Others cannot always be around
We are born as unique beings
We are complete in every way
No one can latch on to us
Nor should we latch on to another
Self awareness is crucial
For true self confidence
Self Confidence creates self esteem
Self esteem develops self worth
Value the life you have
Understand your truth
Explore your potential
You are worthy.
