Growing on an uncharted path, All by yourself Blossoming from inner faith A strength of belief Rises you up from within That you project to the world Sharing hope and happiness So, like the delicate flowers So full of perseverance Arising from bud to bloom Dancing with the wind Come rain or sun… You share as […]
The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.
And for peace to sustain itself… We need to evolve with awareness We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.
We need to adapt ourselves To the changing times. It will take a realization of the interconnects between individual well being & collective wellbeing.
Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth … For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.
Every bit of matter In this now is integral To the whole of existence Every man made change Changes our world In more ways than one For subtle shifts of energy Can create massive environmental phenomena Altering the course of future. Isn’t it time to recognize The misses Alter the errors And pave the way For a more responsible Coexistence Life is a gift Let’s nurture nature.
Even a single step matters …
Let’s start with even one of the three things we all can easily do…
1. Grow native plants that survive and thrive easily and create an ecosystem that will improve the biodiversity.
2. Save water recycle waste water lets treat every drop of water as precious.
3. Water plants with water used for washing vegetables rice or lentils. Then not a single drop of water will be wasted .
It is the nature of rain To wash away the dust Until it’s clean and green. Yet, too much rain Floods and destroys. Such is the truth of nature.
Each element of nature Is balanced with the other. The dry lands help sustain the wetlands… One supports another To sustain and thrive. Such is the truth of nature.
Desert
Desert sand blows in the wind… Winds carry the dust Across the world, Over lands and water, Finding new settlements.
The truth of nature Is the interconnections. The kind that keeps us alive, The kind we may not realize, The kind we need to emulate In this now and for our future, To survive and thrive.
Just think…
If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.

2.Counting backwards from 20 to 1.
3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different feelings.
Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can evoke a sense of ease.
5. Better still is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling.
6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.
