As I explore
I discover
As I perceive
I sense
As I pray
I ease
As I seek
I find
As I write
I express
As I sing
I channel
As I dance
I heal
As I read
I learn
I am eternally grateful
For all these learnings
That happen, all in good time.

Dignity of being
Its not pride. It’s dignity,
That you need with you.
Much is the difference between .
In no uncertain moment
Lose your sense of dignity.
For dignity is divine
For it embodies your spirit & soul
Pride is just a human emotion.
If ever you face a situation
Where anothers words & deeds
Leave you broken
Remember its just your pride & ego
That feels deflated in the moments.
It’s just a phase of life it will pass.
Your dignity stays with you
In the way you handle
With no loss of grace
Stay dignified, stay graceful.

Strung ?
A stringed existence ?
While poetically speaking, or at theoretical physics, all of life is interconnected
Have you felt like you are strained, exhausted to the point of emptiness?
Have you reached a point of burnout with visible signs of overwhelm?
Have you sensed the strong pull from various directions?
Some from strings you have given yourself a connection to.
Some of which, you are innately connected since you were born.
Do you feel the pressure and need to resist some strings
And have you noticed how you are managing it all?
Have you been able to live your life at all or just simply existing or day to another?
Time for some thought in this direction…
Sharing a thoughtworthy quote from my readings this morning.
“We have a tendency to put ourselves last. We concentrate on everything else; work, friends, family, home issues, but we ignore the deeper stuff until it becomes so compressed that it can explode.”
Cecelia Ahem
I ❤️ it for it is a great reminder for all of us.
Self care needs to be considered as a priority practice rather than just a once in a while thing you do.
If we truly care to check in, we can catch the many signs & signals through which our body is already communicating to us.. And how we are dealing with it all.
While being connected is great, we all need some space for reflection. A space to grow from awe and wonder.
A space for stillness in spite of the movements.
Some moments to gather ourselves from where we are to reset ourselves.

The Mountain Beckons…
Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it
For in its wake, the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights
There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,
With the strength of stability in its sureness.

Keep the faith
In life’s moment of chaos & uncertainty
Where you feel you are on an elevator that never opens
stuck between the floors going nowhere
Take a full breath to reconnect within.
Keep the faith in your self.
Acknowledge you are meant to tide through the illusions in the flow.
For change is the only constant.
And all is truly well.

Over the brink
I sincerely resonate with these words .
I have often seen the perils of burnout up close in professional and personal life over many years. As a coach and mentor it has been often clearer to me that having the blessing of many interests and hobbies like dance and art and sports in my life, I have steered away from burnout with a perspective shift. It helped balance my work and personal life.
But over the years watching people of all ages moving towards burnout due to many factors some avoidable and sometimes due to relentlessly challenging situations in their lives, occurrence of burnout is a reality sooner than you know.
Workaholics are the worst hit as often as Type A personalities. People in power positions founders challenged by their own hamster wheel climb , running their race, stressed and distressed between the managing and funding of their enterprises. To people who are intrinsically overt perfectionists trying to outdo themselves beyond abilities and suffering physically emotionally and mentally thinking that in doing so they have proved their worth. Likewise young students with extreme pressure from parents to perform well in something that they are not interested in. Have seen cases of students in engineering stream, forced to take it when their heart is in arts and humanities .
The difference is between enjoying the work and overworking is in feeling exhausted by the work you do to such an extent that you cannot connect with your self anymore.
When your passion turns in an obsession,
When you are pushing yourself over the brink without consideration for your own health.
Your absence affects your family When you think you are giving it all, but what you are giving is, stealing a loved ones time with you.
Imbalances you create in your life have a way of finding you and testing your life. Make sure to live life when you have it, with all of you.

Doing good anyway
Do good
And when you do
Think not of acknowledgement
Nor recognition
Do good
From the goodness of your heart
And you will find joy in it.
Make it a practice everyday
To do at least one good deed .
And soon it will become a habit
That happens naturally
And just know
In time…
You will do good anyway
Savvy
Allow and just be…
Allow yourself spirit to emanate joy
Allow the body to feel its contentment
Allow the self to embody peace
Allow the heart to open itself to possibilities
Allow the self to move in space and sense the freedom it offers.
Just be and allow
Live your life
Dare the space
Of the yet unknown
Even if you are scared
Dare to step it up everyday
You can pause a little
Along the way, but don’t stop
Keep moving on
Soon you will be steps closer
To your chosen goal
Dare your fears
And move forward…
A step in time
This life is yours
Live your life .
Don’t leave it for another.

Smiles from the heart
Being a happy person
I have tided over
The challenges with a smile
Grateful for the dance in my life
I draw energy from movements
As they appear to move me
I unwind and unfurl
My hearts deepest feelings
In the flow of the moves
I sense the beauty of this now.
And I smile from the heart.

What matters?
It’s not just about your intelligence
It’s about your understanding
It’s not just about your skills
It’s about your application.
What matters …
Is not just in what you have
But in what you do with it
Savvy
All in good time …
It’s worth pausing…
Contemplation before knee jerk reactions will always be beneficial
The truth is cultivating the art of patience takes time and consistent endeavour .
And yes it all adds up to self belief, trust and faith , valuing the precious now in this journey .
All is well in time.
All in good time.
Good is happening
Good is happening
In every now
If you truly care
To tune in to sense.

Find yourself
In the daily grinds of life
Take a conscious moment.
Move beyond the apparent.
Witness the world
Observe nature
The sun moon & the stars
Sense the fragrance of Flowers
Dancing in the wind
See the moving clouds
Shaping patterns & disappearing
Watch it all sense it all
And then delving deeper
Sense the intangibles
Understand the unspoken words
Beyond whats visible
Seek the wisdom untold.
You will find yourself.
