Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.

Waltz of lights on the water….
Down the memory lane
A boat, a river, and I.
A canal trip on the River Reie
Beautiful Bruges at night
Shimmering lights
Dancing on water
Ever so gently
Creating a moment
Worth a capture!

Here is a beautiful forward that caught my eye.
When they asked her to reveal her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn wrote this beautiful text that was later read at her funeral.
′′ To have attractive lips, speak kind words.
To have a loving look, look for the good side of people.
To look skinny, share your food with the hungry.
To have beautiful hair, let a child cross it with his own fingers once a day.
To have a beautiful poise, walk knowing you’re never alone, because those who love and loved you accompany you.
People, even more than objects, need to be fixed, spoiled, awakened, wanted and saved: never give up on anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a hand, you’ll find them at the end of both your arms.
When you become old, you will discover that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, in her face or in her way of fixing her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the door open to her heart, the source of her love.
The beauty of a woman doesn’t lie in her makeup, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the tenderness that gives love, the passion that it expresses.
The beauty of a woman grows over the years ′′
A beautiful way to be…
Bask in freedom of being
Dance with life in every now!
Stride confidently, every step you take.
Believe there is a purpose to your being!

Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.
On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…
As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”
Tango
Born in the dark alleys of Argentina
The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century
Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.
There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.
The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.
Watch
Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic
It has the strength and soul to show.
Equally exotic and evocative
Intriguing and beguiling
The lead and follow is beyond genders
For connection is beyond the physicality
For beside the passion play plain to see,
There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.
Two people apparently moving as one
The footwork entices and enthralls
The feet move with a mind all their own
But articulating a drama through the feet.
Watch
Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements
Each pair of feet, teasing the other
Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.
Hitting all the right notes
Never missing a beat
Never stepping unto another
Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.
If you want to see the drama of life and living,
Watch the synergy of energy playing
In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.
There is rivetting romance,
Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.
Depths of emotion & unbridled passion
Emanating in an artistry of motion.
Today there are so many versions of the Tango
Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.
That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.
In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.
Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.
Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.
The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.
Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

To dance is to move with all of you.
To dance is to have hope in the living.
To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.
To dance is to know the value of time.
To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.
To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.
To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.
I am thankful…to the art of dance 💃

We are connected
In the Infinite tapestry
Of life and living.
As we dance with life in gratitude
We gradually, sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.
Savvy
In the quantum level
In our cosmic consciousness
Our energies, transforms itself
As a pattern in the making
Charting us along
the evolutionary pathway.
Our imagination is energy
Of the source code
Dancing in all its uniqueness
Yet energy at its core is oneness
For all is interdependence
In the interweaved tapestry
Of life and living.
Collating confounding concepts Conundrum of collectives
Of creative connections into
Coexistence in collaboration
Of potential into the possibilities
Modifying thoughts to morphing ideas
Energy may alter in shape and form
Yet the truth of energy is omnipresence.
Savvy
There is space beyond
Beyond what is imagination
Thats awaiting your awareness
For its opening creative interpretation
All is not what is,
What is is not all…
In detattaching from notions and judgments
You may begin the journey to sense the now
But in the course of time gradually
There is a letting go of immediate conclusions and
In that dimensional awareness increases
Where our imagination is able to receive in acceptance than just
projecting…
In such a state of conscious consideration
Arrives profoundness beyond apparent realities
Association find new unique meanings
Therein beyond the boxes, imagination pirouttes
Beyond repetitions & recapitulations.
Creativity sparks in sensing the miracle of now.
Savvy
Balancing on the edge of balance
Our lifes, hopes and aspirations
Have a different meaning
For they are sensed in vividity
Tethering, quivering in the now
To the preciousness of time.
Silent in the stillness of being
No matter the applause of achievement
Success takes on a fresher perspective
With all at stake in this now
So very embedded in the vulnerability
In the river of time.

Happy Diwali to all here.
Sharing a few musings from my mother.
Tamaso ma Jyothirgamaya.
On this Diwali let us
Illuminate our hearts.
Ignorance n impediments
Vanish in that brilliance.
Let Faith, prayer, compassion
And humility fill the place
While false beliefs, prejudices
Hatred & anger
Dissolve without a trace.
Past year has taught us
Many lessons.
Many have learnt
The real values our lives need.
A disciplined lifestyle
With resilience will take us far.
The core values our ancestors had
Are not mere lessons in vain.
They are real essence of health
With gratitude, embracing all.
Time to rectify our deeds
Done in the quest to excel.
Mother Nature knows well
How to balance & dwell.
Let’s co-exist without harming,
Valuing all lives, be it in any form.
Let this Festival of Lights
Bring harmony & happiness.
Together we will protect
This precious divine gift
Undoing all our wrongs
Restoring what truly belongs.
A Very Happy Deepawali
To all of you,
Be safe and healthy.
Stay blessed ever.
As we celebrate this beautiful festival of lights lets all take some time to connect with the cosmic lights and feel its blessed presence within us all 🙂

Dance not to impress
Dance to express
Dance for no one but you
In the dance sometimes
The dance begins to lead the way
But know you choose the way.
Choose to pause between the steps
When you need to balance the self
To dance again from the center of your being.
You are the dance, the dance is in you
But you must abide
By the truth of your being
If you dance without your soul
Or if you dance without your spirit
You feel empty as you are not there.
Then you are not true to your purpose
To express the way of your being.
So tune in to authenticity.
Savvy
Nature of harmony is healing
Soothing sounds of the gentle waves
Ease the inner recesses of the mind
Greenery growing in synchrony
Inspite of the abandon of wilderness
Calms the body and mind
Refreshing smell of the first rain
Is truly invigorating to the spirit
All of nature when in balance
Is a dance of Harmony
Align to this harmony
Sense the joy of the interconnection.
Step into your harmonious self.
Savvy
There is an art of life and living
Be freehearted in giving.
Sense every nuance of this now
Express the love of life in this moment.
Tune in to rhythms playing in life
Like the dancer who dances
Emoting through the movements
Tuning into the awareness in every step
Dance with all of your being.
We explore it in unique ways
Some of us lookup at the sky
Admiring the infinite vastness
Of spaces above and beyond
Some of us look down at the ground
Preferring to dig deep into nature
To witness the foundation of living
Exploring the very roots of the life
Some choose to dream and envision
What might be, in hope for the morrow
Some sit in stillness witnessing their breath
Knowing all the truths of life is within.
Some prefer to dance with life
In this now as it unfolds
Accepting nature as it appears
Preferring to make best of its moments.
Savvy
