To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.
Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.
But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.
Touch beyond the feeling Sense beyond the seeing Move beyond the doing Listen beyond the hearing Engage beyond the working Give beyond the gaining Think beyond the worrying Play beyond the winning Blend beyond the bordering Involve beyond the training Share beyond the owning Will beyond the trying Help beyond the supporting Heal beyond the treating Flow beyond the envisioning Care beyond the loving Dare beyond the comforting Explore beyond the limiting Reach beyond the knowing Live beyond the existing… Know Infinite is the truth of being!
It’s not the stress That is dangerous But the what we do not do About the stress that is.
And if we do try to do something the question then is… Do we really know what we do Is the right way to destress?
When we suppress What is stressing us We are creating pressure Within us that will burst out in time
When we get angry Lose out temper Not only we lose dignity But we lose our own health
So whether you are a caregiver Or having chronic ailments Whether you are feeling burnout Or finding no way out.
Suppression creates disease And anger creates heart problems So between suppression and outbursts Is a fine edge of balance
To not tilt to the extreme But to create a pathway to unblock To vent out without flare ups To open the door without break it up
It’s all about channeling the flow…
Whether you are battling a crisis Or feeling lonely on the inside Whether you are on the edge of rage Or you feel you have no clue in life…
Remember There are as many channels as there are challenges Consider these as a sample of options.
Conversation and dialogues Socialisation and friendships Any activity, Art and creativity Or passion in perseverance. Workshops and events Programs, Therapies galore Hobbies interests, support groups Community service or mentorship. Education & self learning. Meditation and mindfulness Alternative Healing modalities.
Sometimes it takes lifetimes To learn and unlearn To do and undo To birth and unbirth To live and relive Moving forward in time Through and beyond The karmic cycles Of many a rebirths To find eternal bliss
When you arrive at being comfortable At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing At peace no matter the circumstances In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects You are awakening yourself… To the profoundness of you. In the subtlety of consciousness Resides the truth of it all.
Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work. Thich Nhat Hanh
Perhaps often we need reminders Of our own potential strengths The capacity to heal from within That we understand so little of.
Perhaps we haven’t yet explored The depth of the gift of life we have To understand the possibilities Of the infinite abundance within us.
Perhaps we need to seek & connect To our core being to heal ourselves Trusting our body and mind To learn and unlearn the paths To thrive than just survive.
The art of meditation is a catalyst for growth and change for the better. Where thoughts become still in practice when human differences are welcome and perspectives are valued.
We allow ourselves to have patience and support, to be as we are, in witness mode flowing through life’s many moments in equanimity.
We begin to understand & develop resilience from within, to not be jarred in the rough times and acknowledge the truth our own being.
Would like to extend an invite to a group called Connected that I have created on Insight Timer a beautiful space for meditation.
The art is of meditation has many forms of meditation. And each has its own set of practitioners. The regular practice of meditation is significant for our holistic wellbeing. However like every habit it needs an intention and discipline and in time it become an awareness in flow.
In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…
Love is matter of perspective. It can pick the color of one’s mood.
It can make us generous. It can make us selfless. It can make us strong. It can protect. It can bind us It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings. It can do magic and wonders. It can make us feel light.
Another face of love
It can be possessive. It can make us jealous. It can make us angry. It can make us weak It can hide the loved one’s faults. It can blind us It can make us vengeful. The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.
Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands. Which face do you want to choose ?
Divine love can make you see light. Embodying this light, keep the journey on. The path will be illuminated. The journey will be a blessing. Keep the love and light in your heart, To make this journey pleasant .
Ask me whatever you want. Ten people asked their desires
First one Countless money & a big business to run
2nd one
The most powerful position in the world
3rd one I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor
4th I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me
Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.
The tenth person asked I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.
The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.
Peace of mind, contented heart.
For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.
God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.
The He turned towards the tenth person and said, ‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.
Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.
In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.
As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.
The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.
Who are we. The tenth person or the rest . Decide.
Our thoughts decide who we are.
Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.
Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.
There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.
Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.
The strength of circles:
The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.
For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.
The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers different departments as part of the same whole.
There are infinite possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.
