We are beings of light
The light of the divine
Interconnects us all
Exchanging energy
Of the Universe in the flow
In our body our hands
Play a part in the exchange
Reaching out to help heal
They are Conduits of Divinity
In the fluidity of the flow
Helping heal and align
And manifest in prayer.
In the realms of spirit and soul
Divinity channels itself
Through portals of our being
In the awareness of Oneness.

Circle of life
Creation is the reason for evolution
To evolve is to be inspired
To create some more…
One man’s creativity is another man’s inspiration
One mans inspiration is another man’s creativity
Each an expression of the uniqueness of the creator.
Such is the circle of life & living.

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.
Souls know the truth of their being
Embedded in the journey of life
Soul connection has the power
To heal and life regenerates
A body and spirit is given
So the soul can move…
Movements that flow
Towards its purpose of being.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

Healing through breathing…
Here is one of the many techniques that can be practiced in awareness.
Box breathing
A Breathing technique to destress an agitated and tense mind to calm state and improve the mood.
A good practice for all and especially for those with depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD managing pains and insomnia.
The technique is simple and very effective.
1. Sit upright & Start with exhaling air out of your mouth slowly counting 1to 4.
2. Hold for four counts
3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.
4.Again hold for four counts
5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.
As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.
The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.
You can practice box breathing couple of sets in a day as needed to calm down.
Breathe away the stress
And breathe in ease.

As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.
In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.
Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.
In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.
In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along
Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.
When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.
Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!

Sharing light & love…
Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity!
What do you think of it?
Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times, doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!
Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of life and living
The strength of the interconnects.
You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

Every one of us are gifted
By someone somewhere in time
For some reason that celebrates
Someone & their special moments.
Sometimes the gifts are well timed
Sometimes the gifts come
And its never noticed.
But gifts come for us all
And sometimes unexpectedly They then have a calling of their own
Perhaps to get us up and back again
To remind us of our purpose
And the source coders plan for us.
We all feel happy when gifted
And when we receive it with gratitude
We align with the flow…

And just like that, come s along a moment with heartfelt words, that makes you grateful for the life lived.
Every moment is full of possibilities
Every thing you choose to do
Leaves impressions in the sands of time.
Stay true to being you…
Life turns memorable.
Have taught many people to dance in my life.And yet…
I remember this student well, as well as all the workshops I conducted. It was a decade or more ago when I taught some Corporate Jive Workshops to a creative set of Designers. We stayed connected over the years on FB and LinkedIn.
We wished each other occasionally on birthdays and celebrations. That’s all … Unril I happened to really notice the love this student had for bikes and I sent a simple message of best wishes and safe travels…
And voila I get this message today that for sure makes my day!
A lesson here…
Stay connected .
Be interested & reach out and express appreciation for things others do..
Celebrate life .. Trust life to deliver the very best! It often does!
Let go expectations!
Great things happen quite unexpectedly!
And most of all, never underestimate the power of dance and music …. ✨✨

Sitting for long hours at work can be rather stressful for those who have sedentary work. In such cases taking good care of your feet health is very important for your heart and overall health.
What can you do besides wearing comfortable shoes, soaking your feet in warm salt water after work,
massaging your feet from time to time.
However when at work you can
incorporate a simple practice of taking a short walk every one hour to break monotony and reduce the impact of long hours of sitting in a chair.
As a Ballroom dance teacher I used some simple props for my students to help strengthen their feet.
Elevating your feet when ever possible, can reduce pressure on the blood vessels, lowering fatigue and release stress.
One is simply rolling a tennis ball under your feet for a few times in a day to release the strain and
tension.
Another easy way is to
have a small terry towel under
your feet and to try to lift it by
scrunching your toes.lt helps
tone, stretch & ease your feet
muscles.
They are both easy to carry and can help you do a feet workout as you work.
Do try and let me know if it helps.

Our breath…
An ignition to life and living
this world
No matter what form or species
And its the breath that is left
Behind that signifies the exit.
How important is this breath.
That we all take for granted
Gratitude and thankfulness
To this driving force of life
To nature for the air we breathe.
How important is this breath
For in the way of the breath
Lies the way of our health.
For in the depth of breathing
We can integrate our body, mind & spirit
We can sense the synergy of being
We can awaken our true potential.
We can become aware of the infinite potential.
For the truths of life, is in the inhale and exhale.

Dear Readers & writers
We are an ever growing circle
Emerging through our words
In the sharing we have grown
We have eased into each other’s hearts
We may not see one another ever
But we have connected in mutual respect
Of each others creativity.
Though the power of words
Comforted and understood
Accepted and appreciated
One another in our own little ways.
For we all know the power of words
That, one heartfelt word can change a day!
Thank you all for being here and hoping for a joyful journey ahead together for us all.
