Doing good anyway

Do good

And when you do

Think not of acknowledgement

Nor recognition

Do good

From the goodness of your heart

And you will find joy in it.

Make it a practice everyday

To do at least one good  deed .

And soon it will become a habit

That happens naturally

And just know

In time…

You will do good anyway

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Seeds of Consciousness

Seeds of consciousness

We are all born with them

Love, and kindness

Care & compassion

Our feelings and emotions

Our heart shows the way

In our thoughts & our actions

It’s upto us , in our lives

To find them & nurture them.

Organized Nature

Behold …
There is delight in disorder
There is underlying harmony in the chaos
There is joy in the uncaliberated
There is peace in abandon
A freedom to grow
In the wilderness of spirit
Untamed unshackled..
Unrestricted unbound
There in that horizon beyond
Where the earth meets the sky
Find nature in its true form
In untouched pristine glory
There is abundance there is flow
An unravelled mystery ….

Behold this

Human

organised

delibration organizing nature
A pretty sight to behold
Perhaps a visual treat
A work from the heart
An artists vision
An engineering of marvel
Of outstounding technicality
Of uniformity par excellence
Of colours in a pattern
Arresting landscaping
Structuring the unstructured….

organised1

Ingenuity of man Interweaving nature
Interspersing with creativity
Flourishing fields
A rainbow on earth
Painstaking perfection
Magnanimous task
Cultivating in collaboration
Perseverance and patience
With teamwork and texhnicality
Stupendous effort
A haven on earth
A sight to behold …
Imploring you to feast
Your eyes on a visual treat…

Grateful

Hiroyuki Sanada once said, “There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn’t have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don’t appreciate.”

Affirm the good

On Managing Behaviour

Whether as a parent, a partner, a teacher, a manager or leader, we all come across challenges in behavior.

Here are few pointers…

Being  critical is easier

Being an example is what matters

To pave the path of positive change

Affirm the good with consistency

Appreciate a deed well done

Behavior transforms in time.

Empowered 

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.

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.

With and within me

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.

New Age Of Wisdom

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?

Circles of Compassion

21815k

A Painting by Savvy Raj

Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

images

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …

To emote is to heal

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.
