True learning happens when we realize we are the teacher and we are the student. And life teaches the greatest lessons without anyone uttering a word or at times in just the sheer presence of a good soul .
Likewise as we dance from our heart without a spoken word and open ourselves to realization and acceptance of new possibilities… true dancing happens!

Every now and then
As the world becomes a burden
We adults need reminders
To notice the enthusiasm in children
A child teaches many things
That we could learn from
Happiness is a state of mind
Engagement is being in this now
Perseverance is a journey towards success
Today is a celebration of childrens day
Am thankful for all the lessons learned
And am grateful for the new learnings.
🙏🌺🙏
I dedicate this post to my child and my teacher of many many things great and small …
and to all the children across the world.
Happy Childrens Day!!!💕😊💕

Positive thoughts make all the difference
When the moments in life are so sweet that…
the little voice in your head says …
‘it cant last,
Just care enough to tell yourself,
‘Maybe its about to get better.’:)

Sensing Life
Is a beautiful blessing or a beast of burden
It is sensed differently by each of us
For it challenges the best of us
Bringing out the best and worst in us.
Yet life is a journey that much be lived
To make sense of it, in every moment.
You cannot know of life without living it
Every now is a journey of sensing it.

Every one of us can make a positive difference from where we are…
If we are alive...
Let’s make an effort to change the world
And create goodwill in every step.
Here is a poem I wrote a few years ago …
Such a beautiful and inspiring share.
Yesterday I happened to read this share on social media. And I truly appreciate the mindset of these two beautiful people.
One who believes learning has no age or defined boundaries And goes on to prove it by completing her graduation.
Another who values the needs and heartfelt intentions of another and is accepting and inclusive enough to have no place for insecurities of any kind to seep in, while helping her accomplish her goals.
It’s truly fascinating to read this. And I do know the journey must have been one of those rare kinds as well as challenging on many fronts for both of them.
It’s truly not often that you witness such beautiful endeavors.
And speaking candidly…
How many daughters would actually want their mothers in college with them?
How many will be happy to accompany their mothers every day while in college?
How many mothers would have the thirst for knowledge and the passion, patience and perseverance needed to do something about it to such a degree?
Salute to both these spirited souls.
For sharing their learning journey. And showing age is just a number and inclusion is a matter of an expansive heart.❤

In few words she simplified how to be & how do, whatever you do.
Life is actually simple
It is we who complicate it
Let’s just do the best we can
Let’s keep bettering ourselves every day!
For we truly can!
Salute to a great spirit & soul!

That you are being watched over
And cared for …
This simple habit will bring
You immense peace
and transmit universal love.
Peace be with you!

Choose to lighten your life
Have pockets to fill with blooms
Let go of unnecessary gloom
Choose to be cheerful
Wherever you go
Carry joy with you
Choose enthusiasm in this now
For tommorow is another day😊
So you owe it to yourself
To make every day
Come alive for you!
Savvy
Begin the day
With enthusiasm for learning
And hope to discover some more
Unlock the possibilities
Of your mind
Adapt your ways
To learn from the challenges
Experience the world
Be open to perspectives
Learn and reflect
Give generously
Share to learn some more.
That way you create space
For you to grow
Savvy
In a world too busy to care,
Too hurried and impatient
All must happen fast
Every thing must move quickly
Speed is a part of life
And life is lived on the fast lanes
However hurried reaction
Is considered unwise
Compared to the calmness of response.
Yet the truth is …
Between the active and passive
Exists a space to balance
Between reaction to response
Exists a pause for reflection
With reference to the choice of voice
Both have significance of their own
In the right situations & context
That can make all the difference.

Life Skills: Empathy Education
Life with all its complexities and contrasts creates a necessity to chalk out ways to make young impressionable minds better equipped to handle its exigencies. Holistic education is so much about grounding in connectedness as much as it is about intuitive understanding that, harmony in the mind body connection is a way of life and living.
An education in empathic behavior becomes paramount in a materialistic world. A lot of misconception about empathy needs clarification.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another acknowledging them as they are, in a nonjudgmental space and being with another sensing the feelings and caring to reach out with support through words action and deeds …
Empathy can be sensed in a touch a nod or a smile or in the simplicity of silence, doing nothing but just being there ….
Empathy is a sharing, a feeling, a bonding, a being, a seeing, a sensing, a trusting and believing in hope, in faith, in life and grace.
Empathy is about caring, as a way of being. Empathy is not always about bearing the suffering and sensing another’s pain or being in a state of sorrow or pain. There can arise great empathy when dancing together or in a classroom environment where the teacher feels one with the student’s frame of mind and speaks to address that … or hearing or performing a song or play together with unbridled sense of bonding and enthusiasm. This empathy can be reflected time and time again in striving to consciously stay aware of the mutually creative fulfillment it brings to our lives. Positive benefits of empathy can become a mirror to gradually inducing greater empathic behavior in our lives towards ourselves and others.
Our movements have the power to change our moods, as much as our thoughts can bring a change in our way of being. It doesn’t matter who believes in your empathic way of life, what matters is you believe in it yourself. And that is the first step in making a positive difference. When there is an empathy in action, it is mirrored in our minds to create, generate loving and caring thoughts as a response to the action.
Every empathic thought finds its way into expression thoughts words or deeds creatively. With increasing empathic thought and action there is unknowingly a connectedness, valuing the interdependence in this web of life and living as a way of being.
