Harness…

Harness your uncertainty

Your doubts dance on thin air

Blow on it with confidence

Choose to work on clarity

Voice and express your opinions

Make communication your friend

Gain trust back in decisiveness

Choose to respect diversity

But opt to share goals

Mastering the comeback

Collaborate on mutual strengths

Tune in to envision solutions.

Creative freedom

Is there a free space to be heard

Where you can speak

Without fear and judgement.

Without doubt  and hesitation

Is there a space that’s free

To move as you want to

Unrestricted and uncorrected

By unwanted influences & interferences

Such spaces are the need of the hour. 

With the world getting more and more materialistic and withdrawn  and people truly becoming less communicative although connected  by technology  in every second , the human need to be heard becomes more and more necessary  for somewhere  it is drowning  in the  hustle and bustle of an ever busy world.

And as for creative freedom well each every  moment  offers infinite acreative flow that is awaiting your expression. Choice rests with you  what you do with it .

Would you agree ?

What is dancing to you?

Dancing to me

Is being in love with life

In every moment there is a dance

Of joy waiting to be found.

Thankful for Dance

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 share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

High heels any one?

Watch this… Quite self explanatory

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/playful-physics_wearing-high-heels-can-have-both-short-term-ugcPost-7250442966723371008-YJO4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

As a Ballroom dance lover and teacher I have worn heels to teach, but in time I stopped wearing high heels.

While competition dances may have the specific shoes as a necessity, teaching people of all ages and  from all walks of life to dance, it becomes imperative to care to teach them to dance safe.

Dancing must be enjoyable not cumbersome . If you are the kind who would like a bit of heel , do  wear for you own joy once in a while ,but do take care of your feet in the longer run.

Many women wear heels to dance but pay a huge price in terms of their health especially if it’s  uncomfortable to them.

Over the years, I have been dancing  many Latin dances and  teaching them without high heels as I realise it’s just an accessory and not a necessity . There are many smooth soled shoes without  resorting to stilettos  which works out just fine, than high heels.

While many feel high heels gives confidence and gait which seems attractive  truly it’s just a commercial phenomenon.

 A great pair of dancing shoes  must support your feet and ankles, while moving in any directions and give a smooth momentum for your turns, flicks and swivels.

If you are a dancer or have danced in heels what are your experiences, do share.

Oneness

In the journey of life

At one point or the other

In arriving to acknowledge our truths

Comes a realization of our Oneness

Of how we are mere living fractals of life and longings.

We are simply waves of light frequencies of resonance & dissonance.

Dancing to the tunes of the Cosmic Oneness

Uniquely you

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Any creative enterprise

That makes you move

One step closer to your being

Tapping into infinte possibilities

Of your innate potential

Is a dance of your uniqueness

Remember this as you dare

To  create something

From known to the unknown

And making something new.

Coherence  Part 2 

Much happens in the sounds

Much happens in the silence

For it is never still

The troughs and crests

The highs and lows

The swing and the sways

Are all but a dance of waves

Of energy in the flow of life

Asserting in the ascent

And subsiding in the descent.

Shaping itself in the changes.

Much like notes of music

Coming together in coherence

And the spaces between notes

Making music to those

Who care to sense.

All parts to the same whole

Finding meaning  in itself.

Finding purpose for itself.

Such is the circle  of life.

Savvy

This is part 2 of my painting  interpretation of Coherence inspired  further from the two interesting comments  by   @Katiemiafredrick and @Simon here

The way you move,

The way you write

The way you dance

The way you talk

The way you live

Share much about you

Express without fear

It’s good for you.

Remember…

Sharing at times can make you vulnerable

But it can open you up to the strength within.

Mystique of movements

To dance is to flow

To move with ease

Of connection.

The mystique of this art

Is in its movements

As much as in its magic.

Movements that speak

Where in the blink of an eye

The dancer and the audience

Are linked to emote and sense

The  magic of the moves.

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?

Fascination

I was drawn to watch this beautiful share this morning.

It is a capture of an every day phenomenon of Water drops merging into a water body.

So much beauty in the ordinary

The profound in the simple.

If we only took time

To notice and discover

We will know

How little we see

Of this dance of nature.

Savvy

And watching it in slow motion video….

Pure Fascination.

Wisdom of Change

The Desert Wisdom


With the singing sands


Below the feet


Where the winds blows


Tuning in to the changes


Slipping in through

The sands of time

Dancing in the dunes

Is the wisdom of the flow

Nothing is what it seems

The desert tests the spirit

To transform the being

The desert teaches…

The many ways of survival.

Through the wisdom in change.

Power of Sounds

There is something about sound
That the world again is waking up to these days…

Wherever you go
You hear the sounds of music

Healing through harmony
And the magic in the melodies.

Reviving and regenerating us
All is in the energy of the sounds.

Sounds that move us within & beyond
All effects of resonance in our cells

Sensing the sounds in stillness
Sensing in the movements too…

Music heals the spirit & soul.
Such is the power of sound.

Sensing…

Where there are no rules that bound
Where the music leads and you follow
Where there is no end and no beginning
All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.
