Power of Belief

What do you think you deserve?

The answer paves the way

To bring it to your life.

As you intend

You believe.

As you believe

You intend.

You manifest your intentions.

The universe gives you,

As you think and intend.

Your thoughts matter.

Believe well.

Think well intend well.

For it matters more than you know.

Habitually Angry?

When was the last time you got really angry?

Just a while ago, yesterday, few days ago, a week a few months or can’t remember the last time you were really angry?

There are many causes of anger and often, the root is in irritation, frustration neglect or abuse or even unfairness.

Often anger comes and goes…

But when you are unable
To let go of habitual anger
It’s a path of distress
That leads to self destruction
Anger poisons the  mind & body
Leading to rage when out of control.
Yet, its part of being human.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha

When anger has an emotional attachment and it gets difficult to let go easily. Mindfulness then is the path to emotional freedom.

Seneca the ancient Roman philosopher had a very relevant remedy for anger… He said, the greatest remedy for anger is delay.

How you choose to channel your thoughts
And effectively manage anger
Is what makes all the difference.


How do you express anger?
Are you assertive or aggressive?
This is what matters more
More importantly when angry
Can you say what’s on your mind
Can you even speak in a clear way?
Or are you emotions clouding you?

Perhaps you are suppressing anger
Then chances are it may surge
And unexpectedly so.
So instead, can you channelize your anger?
For then you control your anger
Before it controls you.

Life strings

Who runs your life
Is your life flowing the way you intend
Or is there a possibility
That the strings of your life
Is in anothers hand?

Question your self
In whose hands are your life strings?

As a child you may have your parents
That hold the strings for your self protection

As a teenager you may have questions on the strings itself

And then as a young adult many other strings may have come into existence
Some for a season, a reason or a lifetime
Then growing some more
These strings may have felt like a pull and push from all directions

Getting ahead a few more years
Some you may sense getting weaker
And some may have got stronger

Growing older and perhaps wiser
Of things as they were
And as they are…


A life lived
To fulfil a purpose
Is it yours at all
Or is it another’s dream
After all
In your head and heart
You may have the truth
Of a life lived
A stringed existence.

From innocence
To rebellion
From learning
To curiousity
From understanding
To accepting
And in the sharings.
And knowingly or unknowingly
In awareness or without
We come alive and die
Infinite tines
In the many moments
In our lives…

It’s a stringed existence after all.

A photo inspired poetry
9 :28 4rth of July India

While I wrote this piece yesterday seeing the photo inspiration , I am also aware that I had this thought on the truth of freedom many times.

What do you think on freedom within a stringed existence?

Are you in the drivers seat of your life

And if so what are the things you have compromised or have contended with to drive on…

Truth is in the meaning and purpose of the stringed connection.

Why I paint?

I paint to enjoy life

In the expression

For I know I am just a channel

For art to manifest through me

Emoting through the color & capture

Of an emerging countenance.

I enjoyed painting this piece with my fingers…

I enjoyed the emergence of the changing expression

I enjoyed flow of positive thoughts

That ultimately resulted in this artwork.

Tune in

As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,

The joy of life
Manifests itself
Tuning into the melody of the harmony.
Creating music that beats in the synchrony.

Faith Love Truth

Master your mind they say

Before it masters you

Acknowledge the truths of life

For mind is full of thoughts

Creating countless thoughts

Know the value of mindfulness

Being mindful is about self awareness

To master the mind

Master your thoughts

Become aware of this now.

Whatever is this moment

Sense it and you breathe in it

Feel it and be alive in it

For the truth is in every moment

What you decide to do in this now

Has power to change and rearrange

Your state of being.

Life is precious

Have faith and trust

Stay hopeful in every breath.

For the truth is you can.

After all the mind works

On what you feed it.

On Thoughts Beliefs & Awareness

Thoughts and beliefs

On power of belief :

When you deeply believe
You are bound to manifest
In the deepest intentions
Such is the way of creation
And the power of belief

On memories & thoughts:

Your memories are your thoughts that arise
They are a vision a feelings of things that were…

But in the power of belief they begin to have power over you. Your emotions come into play.

On Awareness of thoughts

But in your depth of awareness you realise thoughts come and go, then you also realise that you are above your thoughts and therein you begin to sense your limitless self.

Being alive

Being alive and having life
Are two different things
All have a life
Many acknowledge it
Few live it with will
But far few live it with love
Life is life after all
It’s in you
How you choose to live.
Life is for you to acknowledge
Know you have this one life
Care to live life lovingly?

Embrace your U- ness

In your uniqueness lies the strength

Of Authenticity

Of Identity

Of Potential

Being you and being true to yourself is the simplest path towards your purpose.

And yet often being you at times can be challenging.

For life can demand much from you and you need to go beyond and bend backwards and forwards to surf through life’s unexpected turns.

But by being true to yourself you are at least sure to have your heart and head in check and balance, where your inner conscience meets your consciousness.

Embrace and embody your U-ness

The breath of life

The breath of life
From the  moment of birth
Life begets the breath of air
An ignition to life and living
in this world
No matter what form or species
And its the breath that is left,
behind that signifies the exit.

How important is this breath,
that we all take for granted
Gratitude and thankfulness
to this driving force of life.
To nature for the air we breathe.
How important is this breath,
for in the way of the breath
lies the way of our health.
For in the depth of breathing
we can  integrate our body mind and spirit
We can sense the synergy of being
We can awaken our true potential.
We can become aware of the infinite potential.
For all the truth of life,
is in the inhale and exhale.

Little things

To see positive changes
Focus on what is going right
Than all that is not.
For then you are refusing
The joys of this now.
Recognise the little things
That make you happy
As a daily practice
Acknowledge people
Who surround you.
Appreciate the little things.
For happiness resides
In the little things.

Today the softness of the light of dawn, gently warming my face as I woke up made me happy this morning.

Care to share the little things that make you happy?

Tapping into Creativity

An artist may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow.

Creativity is in each of us. We are blessed with much we are yet to understand.

Often we neglect the creative side in each of us and don’t find ourselves expressing it away, but tapping into it can open portals of yet unknown possibilities in each of us. And most of all gives us the courage to explore and embrace the unknown.

A dot called now

Sharing Words of wisdom … from my mother Anjana Radha… A beautiful thought for the day 🙂

‘The “Now” is a dot. in the line – of life. Without touching the dot we cannot connect the past to the future. Just Be in the Now to witness a beautiful connection.The NOW is always present . Like so many dots form a line so many’ Now’s shape life to a beautiful past and a hopeful future. Our conscious awareness gives it meaning and purpose.’
Enjoy the moment:)

Soul wisdom

Life is an expression of the soul…


The soul goes through life


Like a rough diamond that gets polished

The body & mind take a toll


Many times over in a lifetime.


To shine like a diamond does.


In the shaping & moulding


Through the experiences


Garnering wisdom in the living.

What’s it about?

It’s about…

It’s not about wanting
It’s about retaining

It’s not about owning
It’s about valuing

It’s not about getting
It’s about giving

It’s not about receiving
It’s about sustaining

It’s not about having
It’s about nurturing

Life is the gift you have
How do you plan to nurture it?
