On Sharing

A great read today made me contemplate further…

How much to share

What to share

When to share

And how to share

Whom to share

What not to share…

These are thought worthy questions.

As a creative writer, I enjoy the juxtaposition of imagination and reality. For life experiences become my muse. But still it is advisable to be savvy when sharing with the world.

A succinct share indeed. Do read.

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.

On Respect & Inclusion

When you are in a position of influence especially as a coach, a trainer you are responsible to aid the development and building up of life. From the  life coaching perspective there are many humane standards that help reach the set goals.

As a coach, respect and inclusion  are significant  for the success of your coaching. It is important to  show  ‘Respect’ not only for individual  or team you are coaching by being unbiased and empathic of their abilities,  but also for your time and effort as well as respect for the reason and need for coaching .

As for inclusiveness, without it you cannot build rapport as a coach. Inclusion is also about being attentive and open minded of diverse perspectives and opinions.

Over the decades, coaching  individuals and groups as a Dance Educator & Trainer,and a Life Coach, I have had varied experiences of how being inclusive, empathic, open minded to listen and understand, sharing mutual respect has made a positive impact on the coaching process.

Both respect and inclusion can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those you coach.

What do you think? Do share.

You

No one but you

Knows your true self

Empower your self

Create your life

Being yourself.

Be kinder, be connected

With yourself.

Allow to express your self.

Your truths in your voice

Makes you feel heard

Your voice with your words

Makes you understand

You are more than enough

To sense the light in you

Find out for yourself

With all of you

Who you truly are.

Music & Creativity

Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.

Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.

As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.

Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.

At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.

What are your experiences with music?

When was the last time you heard your favorite songs?

When did you do something creative while listening to music?

On Forgiveness

On Forgiveness

An action that builds bridges

Creates connections

Erases errors

And heals hearts.

©Savvy Raj

And I love this inspiration that I came across in my readings today…

Because forgiveness is like this:

A room can be dark because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart. Desmond Tutu

What are your thoughts on this?

Strength of Interconnects

Whoever made the movie “Avatar” knew this. The mycelium or mychrysis is a fungus that spreads underground, creating a communication network between all types of plants, a kind of internet that allows them not only to communicate, but also to take care of themselves, protect themselves, eat, to stock up on the water.
And when a tree is cut down from the forest, the mycelium informs a huge number of trees in the forest that one of them is dying, and all the other trees, through the mycelium, start tending to the remaining trunk to try to save that life.
They feed it with water, they protect it, because this dying log is part of the forest family.
Everything has a language.
It is a universal language.
We learn to reconnect with this non-verbal language, realizing that we are all part of one.
We are neither above nor below.
We are like children who still have a lot to learn from our older brothers, from the trees and forests and most of all from our Mother Earth…
It’s just amazing!!!
Respect to our Nature
Respect to our Mother Earth

This above forward is Courtesy – Krasi/Art.

Strength of the Interconnects

Trees teach us much

Every life has many lessons to share

If we only we have time to spare…

There is much going on beneath the earth

Which we take for granted

Let’s take a moment to care

To understand the differences

Between one life to another

As well as to understand

That we are part of the same source

Life manifests its magic in each of us

We are meant to survive and thrive

We are meant reach out and live

In the strength of the interconnects.

Sounds Good?

Words are powerful and the power comes not from the meaning alone, but from the tonality of how it sounds when read alone or  along with a group of other words. Said, read, or written or heard these words carry immense vibrations  which can alter thoughts and perceptions.

As a writer… I have often thought about if the words I write, sounds alright.

Have you sensed what sounds  your words carry?
Have you felt the impact it will have on the reader?
Have you got any feedback on the tone of your words?


Perhaps now, I need to ask my readers here…


What tone does my writing leave you with?

On Speaking

An essential skill in any job that requires talking & handling people is speaking well and communicating effectively.

Handling challenging questions during a speech can be effectively managed by  a few  practical and strategic ways using conflict resolution techniques.
Get yourself some time to think by
practicing listening actively when a question comes up and then repeating  it in your own words to check if you have clarity on what is asked.
Acknowledge the questions with empathic voice and body language can  ease and reduce tensions and help  build the flow of  communication.
Get yourself back into the arena
by reframing the questions to align with your context.
Using an assertive voice shows command over the context.

Always remembering the goal is not to score a point but or win an argument but to build and sustain a positive and respectful connection.
