In every moment of Gratitude
There is a shift in perspective
Altering dimensions of the reality
Renewing the faith in the flow of life
Regenerating possibilities in grace
Integrating the mind body spirit connection.
Harmonizing all of life and living.

It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday with kind deeds
Nourish the roots with care Enrich it with love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow
Now the question is what are you nurturing in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?
Savvy
No matter how busy you think you are
There is always space to learn and understand more
Space to grow and evolve
And it all starts with a little shift in perspective.
A little rebalancing from the way things are…
Work & life
It often amazes me to see the adulation that certain people have for being the first to arrive and last to leave their workplace. I wonder if anyone has cared to check how their families feel about this?
Many on the so called respected and admired list, are people who are workaholics, burning out by the minute.
They are there, working beyond the call of duty perhaps out of personal passion, sense of ownership and responsibility or even perhaps because they feel they can’t afford to fail, may be even because it gives them an edge of pride to be known as some one who is committed.
However life is about balance and simply put, more of one leads to less of another. The trick is the wisdom of balance and steering clear of extremes.
To every workaholic out there here are few reflections…
☆Avoid stretching yourself too thin.You are already on razors edge and you are hurting one part of your life, if you continue to do what you do. Reclaim your life. Find other passions and take care of your health. Stay safe than sorry.
☆Your personal life is at stake and is also your responsibility.
☆Bringing home the money and comforts is just one half of the whole. Your family is best nurtured by your loving presence in their lives.
☆Your absence at home and family/ social affairs is missed at first and then adapted with along the way to a point of being indifferent to your presence in time. Because you are never there for them.
☆ At a certain point in life, lack of care and connection begins to show and no amount of money can be valued over time .
☆Money cannot buy love they say and it certainly becomes true, as people begin to use you for your money and you will never feel fulfilled and content after spending it.
☆Everything around you becomes materialistic to the point of manipulation and its your own doing as you threw in the money and comforts where ever and whenever your time was required or requested.
☆Relationships become meaningless without a sense of togetherness. Missing out time with another in the excuse of being busy for years will take a toll on personal life. People will get used to you not being around for them and then expecting them to be there for you when you need them is a selfish ask.
☆Your children will be affected by your continued absence . Your presence in their growing years is very important for their holistic well being. Your partner will be angry or isolated with you. And expecting things to be different as you continue your ways is not going to change anything.
☆However in recognizing the signs of workaholic and your choosing to balance different aspects of your life will start making a meaningful difference.
☆For starters acknowledge your value for your time and energy.
☆Speaking of your energy , if you have spent most of your day at work , how will you find yourself able to give more of you as you have exhausted yourself
☆Recognize where it’s slipping away and start to chalk out a balancing plan. It can transform your life and those around you.
☆Find moments that are solely yours and use it for your personal development.
☆Your career is only one part of your life. It helps you sustain your life but the relationships you have nourishes you. Without it you have no true sense of purpose.
☆If you are one of those who are thinking of grabbing opportunities and climbing the corporate ladder acknowledge that you may possibly often have an unsatisfactory family relationship at the end of it all.
☆Your passion for your work may begin to affect your health watch out early signs of strain and stress and care to take help .
Thankfully today the world is more aware of work week and many countries are Consciously doing something about it. How it affects productivity in time will be seen and how much it could contribute to work life balance, but it definitely is time reclaimed for family.
The truth is its about prioritization of what’s important for well-being in life. Personal and professional lives both are important and have demands that need your time. So balance is the key.

A skill is only a rumor until it becomes a muscle memory
But beyond the skills we choose to cultivate in life…
There are certainly abilities worth cultivating for a lifetime.
Ability to see the good in life.
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to acknowledge diversity of thoughts and opinions.
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to laugh and bring humor in conversations.
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as move with a lightness of being.
We all have the ability to live life lovingly
All it needs is embodying in our lives.

In the myriad moments
And multitude of experiences
In life and living.
There is so much going on
Betwixt and between us all.
So much to live and care for…
Often unsaid words
& repressed feelings
Are brimming in the sensing
Emotions have their way
Of expressing themselves
At inopportune moments.
But if we choose to take time
We can channel our thoughts
In mindful awareness.
Perhaps our emotions
Can be our precious gift
To sense and balance the self.
We are blessed with all
That we need from nature
Let’s acknowledge our gifts.

Hand in hand
We walked
Sometimes me ahead of you
At times you ahead of me
Hands held together
No matter the test of time
Two hands of two hearts
Still together as one.

If you truly care to listen
There is much to understand…
So much to discover & more
For your soul speaks to you
Intuitively in every now
It knows your path
And where you are headed
It’s you who needs to trust
In your self in your journey.
And know, you are developing
Your intuitive connection
Every time you listen in.

The world’s oldest olive tree is in Greece.
The ‘olive tree of Vouves’ on the island of Crete, is 3500 years old
Every tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Or even the grit of determination
In the shaping and the grounding
In the resilience and rootedness
Of nature’s manifestation.
Salute to the soul and spirit of trees.🙏

When I change my conversations
To include words of gratitude
To become more positive
To have words to thankfulness
In deep appreciation and conscious awareness
Of possibilities in the infinite potential
I begin to influence myself
To see beyond my limited self
I became conscious supportive and allowing
Of the positive changes
In and around me
This is the point of influence
That I can sense, resonance
In the echoes from within
That I hear in all of my being
A reverberation of the bless
Savvy
Be all you can be
Express yourself
Let your Uniqueness
Begin to manifest in life
For that is what is meant
For you to do
And trust in the power of you.

Allowing the art to speak and acknowledging its flow is of essence, to sense and enjoy the art itself.
Learning to dance & dancing socially comes along with many lessons and learnings…
In any partner dancing its important to respond than simply react to the movement direction from the partner in the flow.
The cultivation of the ability of any dancers acknowledgement & appreciation of their dance partner or other dancers, differences in movement speed or artistry not merely as tolerable, brings on the required humility and grace in the dance.
This is in itself the essence of a rich and rewarding social dancing experience.

Our education leaves much room for improvement.
But consider these questions for a moment…
Why do you learn what you learn?
Ideally you learn because you are curious to know more and not because you have to finish a degree.
What is the reason for the learning?
Earlier at least in India the aspirations of parents were the reason of choice of what the course of learning would be . The options were limited and no one bothered to check whether the education even resonated with the learners.
How does it make you feel?
Have seen many sensing disconnect as they are pursuing careers in fields which have no connection with their earlier Education.
What way do you apply or use your learnings?
Often most of our prevalent education systems seems very transactional with marks and percentages with the purpose having no significance.
However degrees become meaningless if you do not use your learnings to make a positive difference.
Personally speaking
I believe to learn is to share and to share is to learn some more.
