Awareness of Oneness

Universal Oneness is an awareness

In reflections of the truth of the being

Interweaved and interconnected in every life .

Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.

As a power in the very fragility

Touched by divine grace

Enmeshed in the senses

Comes a consciousness of the flow

In and around us

Beyond the illusion of separation

Is the dance of connection.

Paradox of Emotions

Every moment is a cornucopia of sensing Fleeting thoughts in the making Feelings and emotions reveal themselves. Between action and inaction And in the stillness in between Like the ebb and flow on the tides While at times amplifying & complicating situations By tilting the tuning of the body and mind. Sometimes overpowering almost self […]

Paradox of Emotions

Acknowledge

As humans we are always exploring and discovering  possibilities. Sometimes we understand  much in no time, and take the right steps, and at other times we mis the bus.

Acknowledge the wins  & the  misses.

Every step missed is brimming with a lesson.

If we choose to pay attention every failure teaches us something.

On where we want to be,

On how far we are, from where we want to go.

Question is are we ready to acknowledge  failure as  a part of the learning process?

Every success  can be attributed  to the  many experiences that may have had many lessons  and the effort taken to succeed. 

And if there is propensity  and determination to take the effort, there are many pathways  that lead us beyond failure. 

I like this saying by Mary Ash, I came across  recently which presents a fresh perspective on failure.

‘For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.’

Acknowledge where and how you are.

You will find your own path.

So you are angry?

So you are angry?

Now what?

Do you think it is helping you ?

For anger never helps

It only hurts .

Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.

1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding  in your anger is the first step

2.Counting backwards  from 20 to 1.

3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to  create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different  feelings.

Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can  evoke a sense of ease.

5. Better still  is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling. 

6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out  even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.

Remember  to acknowledge  your emotions  as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy  pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing  into your life

Live life lovingly💙

On Friendships

True friends trust

In each other

They find comfort

And care to share & listen

The truth of what it is

Without fear or favour

For they know the value
Of authentic advice

Without frills and fancies

Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.

True friends matter

To each and every one of US.
We are better because of them

In Trust love care & faith.
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.

How many such true friends can one count in life?

How to manage a difficult conversation?

In the course of my career over the years handling teams of various departments, people management  became my forte while experiencing many instances which needed agility in communication.

Here are few pointers…

If you can help it thoroughly prepare yourself  with research so that you are prepared to handle any objections well.

Try to choose when and where to have a difficult conversation.

Always start with a positive mindset and speak with concern without blaming .

Make sure you are clear about what you want to communicate.  And deliver your stance  clearly  without any ambiguity.

Speak in the right tone as per the situation.

Listen actively well to acknowledge  emotions and  understand so you can respond than react.

If there is too much tension or another impasse it is alright to pause, take a  short timely break to diffuse tension and then recoup

Be focussed on what you wish to communicate and steer the conversation if it veers off topic.

Be open to alternatives and  perspectives and see if you can  find common ground to stay flexible to foster collaboration.

Resolve issues find win win solutions & clear issues.

Do you remember  any instances of  difficult  conversations you have had? How did you manage it?

Gifts of Life

Life pans out uniquely  each day for us.

And yet every life has its ups & downs

It is how we see it

That makes us who we are.

In the journey of life

Life supports and encourages us

By offering many visible and hidden

Gifts along our paths.

Recognize  and value them

For they are meant for us.

It is up to us to become aware of it

For us to sense & know…

And most of all

Every life is a gift

Value the life

You have.

Unable to take a decision

Or move forward with  a solution.

It could be Analysis Paralysis.

On the other hand people who are  sensitive and empathy also find themselves  unable to take a decision to move forward if it is going to upset another .

In fact Analysis Paralysis  can create blockages for intuitive people and hence they need to  understand it to address it.

If you are experiencing it now here are few solutions to manage  it.

  1. Acknowledge with Self Awareness  by scanning your entire body to sense what, when and where,and how often you are feeling this way.  
  2. Address it by allowing yourself to be more flexible and open to new perspectives without fear. 
  3. Stop trying to please one and all. Trust in your capabilities and know you are enough.
  4. Conquering  your fear of failure by taking  a small step towards that which seems impossible. Keep the faith in yourself and you can always  pivot without unwanted pressure.

Mind body integrity

“I am living in hope. Although it seems almost invisible. It’s a hair line of hope that keeps me going.”

These are words coming from a dear friend who I consider my soul sister. She has been braving the odds in her life in silence and grace. But how long will she be able to stay silent It is question I always ask myself… Knowing her, nothing much will escape her lips.

But the body never lies I believe the body intelligence is listening in to the emotions she is feeling and is reacting to it in its own ways. Most times it manages well under the influence of the mind power and will and at times it caves in under the strain of the hearts feelings. The cells of the body are changing every moment shaping itself to the moments…

Ease and disease are the results of the changing body. How long I wonder is she having till her body manifests her emotions in its own way.

Can she manage to integrate her body mind and spirit and channel in positive ways?

Stress Management is a skill and it takes practice. Quite often it takes help and intervention too. For when it comes to managing it, there can be multiple ways to go about it.

What is important, is to do something about it, by educating the self and being self aware to practice  consistently  and master stress, or else the stress will master you.

Allow yourself to trust in the divine plan. Acknowledge your mind body connect. Listen to what it says.

Trust your intuitive intelligence and move beyond stressors for you are enough for you.

Sense of Divinity

All is a matter of sensing…

Painting : Savvy Raj

Divinity is alive and well

In every moment of now

It is full of signs

Powerful in subtlety

And gentle in its power

Divinity dances

Between and betwixt you & me

Every life is a testament.

It is goodwill energy

Meant for you to sense

And know there is always more

Than what you see in yourself

Your divinity is for you to sense

To express from your being

Such that you help impact

Not only the self positively

But also those that you meet…

Reaching beyond self limitations

To leave a legacy of transformation

That can make the world

A better place to live.
