Evolving with the changes

Wisdom continues to evolve

As change is the only constant

Knowing is never enough

Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.

Age of Aquarius

Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.

Speaking of technology its transformations, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.

Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.

The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

Living life, learning…

In a conflict ridden world

All we can do, is to learn

What not to do…

For we are not the only ones here

There was life before us & after us

There is life in and around  us

And we need to value life

That will manifest after us

And acknowledge what is

And do whatever we can

To save the only world we have.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Inside Outside

Today I thank in gratitude

The power of the mind

The heart and the spirit

Our body is blessed

With many gifts of the soul

Which we are yet discovering

The strength of intentions

The power of intuition

Of conscious awareness

In practice of mindfulness

Of possibilities in our potential

In the movements of stillness

In the stillness of moves

In the silence of meditation

All, in this journey within

Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

Strengthen your humanity

Keep your heart grateful

Keep your mind thankful

Keep your spirit humble

It will strengthen the foundation

Of many virtues of being human

Like love, trust and faith

Courage and contentment

Health, happiness and joy

Creating a blessed life

View from the top

How different is the view

From every angle in sight?

What makes it so stark in contrast

And so varied in interpretation?

How the colours of life change?

How easy it is to believe,

What you see as the truth,

That nothing else could be reality?

What you see from the mountain

Is different from the plain.

The eyes are the same.

But the perception is different.

What’s your energy like today?

I came across these lines this morning…

We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same

— Carlos Castaneda —

Questions for the self

What are your thoughts like?

What is the work you do making you feel?

What is the energy  you sense ?

Are you  feeling strengthened by it?

Your answers will reveal much to you.

Are you a workaholic?

If you let work bleed into your  night
You will find yourself racing with time
Like a hamster on a wheel
Churning in the loop of your own doing .

Share

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.

Question yourself

Question your emotion.

Every emotion you are feeling has a connection to an experience.

Here is a little exercise that can help you understand your  emotions and feelings as well as shift perspectives to positive thinking.

As and when, you observe your emotions, ask yourself a few questions. And as the answers come to you, write it down in your own words.

Fear : A base instinct that sometimes gets the better of us  and makes living difficult. 

Ask yourself, what is this fear?

Then ask yourself, what can I do to get to step beyond this fear? 

And how can I address this objectively? Write it down.

Shame : Question yourself why and where did you feel inadequate in meeting set expectations?

Then ask who has set the expectations and work how you can grow beyond this limiting  experience in expectation.

Guilt : Ask yourself  if you have inner  conflicts  of values that’s bothering you.  Your guilt trips are often deeply connected  to your actions that crossed over your ingrained values. Reflect on on understanding yourself. 

Sadness :  Often sadness has an unfulfilled  expectation or loss  attached. Question what they are and then work on inculcating a regular  practice of journalling your feelings. Additionally  find a way to connect with dear caring  friend with a listening attitude and share from your heart.  It helps.

Anxiety : Question the self to check if what makes you anxious is within your line of control. It will clarify whether worrying  helps at all…and helps you attend to that which you can do something  about 

Envy : Going green with envy is all about  your unmet goals or  aspirations and unfulfilled  desires. Question your self , can I make this envy work for me to acheive  my personal  goals. Can my envy motivate me instead .Refraining helps .

Frustration  Question what do I can so deeply  about that I feel this way.

What will I stand to lose  and how can I go about  future proofing or safeguarding it  in my capacity for it .

Anger : Questioning  the root cause of  anger  will often throw light on an invasion of personal space  imagined or real.

Objective reflection helps understand  what boundaries  have been encroached or eroded upon.

The shift of perspectives  through self reflection,  gives you a moment of clarity . It makes you sense possibilities beyond the obvious.  This shift of thinking bridges gaps  between  different cultures,  generations, creates openness, restores relationships and renews hope if you care. For you begin to reframe  and understand  emotions and able to manage it better.
