Expression

How are you in this moment ?

Are you ok?

Every once in a while

Just ask yourself  these simple questions.

And let yourself  answer

As the thoughts flow

Jot them down

There is much healing

In the journaling of thoughts

In expressing your feelings

On paper or to another

In simply voicing it out

Giving a path to let the steam off.

Build yourself  up with care

Connect with a deeper breath

And listen keen as you exhale.

As you externalize, you create space

And understand yourself more.

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Form & the Formless

Art by Savvy Raj

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.

Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.

Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.

While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.

Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light

A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.

The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.

Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.

In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

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.

Fragile frames

I sense hope every time I see a fragile flower. Mistake not, the flower as fragile for in its blooming from a bud it has resilience  writ large in every petal .Projecting hope majestically it withstands  the day come rain or sun 

Every flower is a powerful yet graceful testament of hope & strength springing fresh from the earth.

Speaking of Power…

Power is often mistaken to be loud and aggressive,  but often it is the quiet, the silent rebellion that has the most effect. 

Mistake not the fragile as weak

For often, there is great strength

In those fragile frames.

Proving time and time again

It is not the weight you carry

But in how you carry & project it.

What do you think ?

10 thoughts on life

1) When the axe came to the forest, the trees said the handle was one of us. Until they felt its cuts:. BETRAYAL IS within.

2) When a kid grows up, a pencil is replaced by a pen just to make the kid realize that now it is not easy to erase the mistake.

3) One day, the ground we walk on will be our roof.

4) If loyalty was real, water is not supposed to cook the fish.

5) How I wish RIP means Return If Possible.

6) One sad truth about life is that you may not even be part of the future you’re stressed about.

7)The sheep lived all her life, fearing the wolf, but it was the shepherd that finally ate it.

8) When we were kids, we cried loudly to be noticed. But now we cry silently because we don’t want anyone to know.

9) Just because you’re a good person, doesn’t mean the world owes you kindness.

10) When the blind man sees, he throws away the stick that has been helping him for years.

Undeniable 10 life thoughts that I came across on social media I felt like sharing…

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.

The gift of nature

From time to time

Make it a habit

To give yourself a gift

For wellness sake

The gift of nature

Plant a seed

Walk in nature

Hug a tree, touch a flower

Meditate in open spaces

And reduce your stress.

And uplift your mood

An autumn leaf

There is grace

In the falling leaf

There is a lesson too

No matter where  life takes you

No matter how life treats you

Dance with the wind

And float with grace

Taking life as it comes.

Bliss of Movements

Simply bringing the body into movement heals, empowers and brings positive changes in the body in time gradually … but most of all it brings on empathy and a divine connection to the living you and that’s the alluring magnetic charm of a body in blissful motion.

Map in my veins

The map in my veins

Lead to those unknown paths

Across the world

To places and spaces

I was  meant to go

To connect with those

I was to meet

Its all ordained  I can tell

Now as I look back

Each relevant to whole

Emerging & merging

In this story of life

The pen with words I weild now

Yields through as witness 

To learnings  and experiences

Leaving an imprint

In the footprints of time.

Cultivating Compassion

It’s a radically transforming act

In this rapidly evolving world

When you let compassion move beyond aspirations

To being an actionable practice,

For the truth is, empathy is not elusive behavior

It is a trainable trait

Every act of kindness

Thoughtful presence

In choosing compassion & care

Reshapes & rewires our neural pathways

To empathic connections.

Here is a guided meditation for cultivating compassion in thoughts words & deeds.

Take a few moments to ease in  and breathe genttly in a quiet space.

In awareness calmly sense the natural rhythm of your own breath.

Think of someone  you know who is kind and imagine the warmth that radiates from your heart towards them and extend the very same energy to someone who is challenged by it.

In every inhale, welcome peace in silence and likewise in every  exhale release the unnecessary. Inhale faith and exhale doubt.

Every positive compassion filled thought reshaped the internal narrative and the world around us.

Sense the moments integrating in empathy in compassionate connection & possibility.

Incorporating such conscious and intentional practices embodies compassion into our spheres of influence in and around us  through thoughts, words & deeds

Do share your reflections on what it means to be connected  in the world today. Let’s spark the movement towards  cultivating global compassion.
