Silence is powerful if you truly care to listen in .

Silence is powerful if you truly care to listen in .

We are parts of the same whole
Pieces of the same puzzle
We are entwined and embedded
In each other’s existence
No one can do it all alone
In acknowledgement of this truth
In thanking the learnings
In respecting the value of life
In gratitude for the support
From others, we open ourselves
To the empowering strength
In the interconnects.

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.

With me rests my choices
My focus and determination
My passionate dedication
To all that I can do.
Within me is a heart
Capable of kindness
And gratitude for limitless love…
With capacity to forgive.
Within me is the spirit of will
And effort to do my best
With all I have in self belief
And the strength of perseverance.
With me is my ability
To set my boundaries
Express in my own way
That I am enough for me.

My good friend @Geoff Hudson Searle posed and shared an interesting question.’Are we entering a new age of Wisdom?
‘A new age of wisdom ‘ is a fascinating topic to ponder on…
Wisdom continues to evolve
As change is the only constant
Knowing is never enough
Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.
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 AI, 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.
What are your thoughts on this?

Sit down with your feelings
Like a good friend
Listen to it to understand
What it conveys to you
It works out for you.
Your emotions are not your enemy
They are your vent
They are your support systems
For the body to feel at ease
Be a good friend to you
And your emotions will thank you
As you thank them.

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.
While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.
Thought of sharing my verses again.
Travel On
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

In the depths of darkness
Keep the faith on a new dawn
In the numerous wrongs
See the rights
Thank the good
Be grateful for it
Make it a practice of a life time
Know you’re in a better space.

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?

As you go through daily life
Just care to remind yourself
That you are being watched over
And cared far.
This simple habit will bring
You immense peaceYou will transmit universal love.
Peace be with you

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.
