Music & moods

Play on…

When you are in the mood for music, play on

When you are feeling low, play on

When you are exhausted and tired and you want to revive your mood play on

Music is therapeutic and the healing
nature of sound energy can be tuned
into to change your mood & manage
emotions and lift your spirits.

Take some time to create an upbeat
playlist that perks you up and
engerizes you and get up from your
chair to move arounda bit.

Take a short walk every once in a while. with some great music for company..It will
bring a spring in your step and smile
in your heart.

In fact for every part of
the day, you can have a playlist of
your own choice. Take time to create
yours… if you haven’t already and do
listen… The right music makes a
powerful difference.

Play on…

Art & Acceptance

Picasso

Watch this video of modern art as it happens!

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/gggdif1S11HPfDy3/?mibextid=TrneLp

Pablo Picasso was born in Spain. And lived in France for most of his adult life. He is a prolific artist with varied interests, his early naturalistic painting gave way to his famous modern art in his adult years. He is known for his ‘Artistic Versatility’ and also for painting from imagination. He is renowned for his unconventional & radical life & art and is influential for his development of Cubist style.

A few musings…

On Art & Acceptance

If Picasso was born in the east
Perhaps he would have had it tougher to touch the height of success.
For he was best born in the west
And live in the heart of liberalism
Where his technique was acknowledged and given wings.
He passionately painted his spirits strokes in freedom.

The eastern world has always been more traditional
Conservative & restrained
in art and life
Somewhere it took a long time
Catching up with the possibilities of creativity
Where chaos becomes art.


In chaos there is disorder
But in disorder is the arising of new creative possibilities
Envisioning in the unconventional a restructuring in the flow
Every stroke of the brush or ink on paper
Is indicative of thoughts and emotions in the brain behind the brush.
Of the development of hand eye brain integration
That creates art out of simply anything and everything.
And then, there is the viewer critic and the art dealer who see hope & possibilities in both the artist & his art.

Art is born in the mind of the artist

Art channels itself in the flow

Art is honed in the perspectives of critique

But art is realised and enjoyed in the acceptance of a patron

For then the art finds itself.

And the artist evolves.

A Prayer Answered

wp-image-680748262

In the bowing is a prayer answered
In the kneeling to the cosmic connects
Acknowledge the grace that’s revered
And the blessings that protects

Sense the touch of the angels around
Feel the flow of divinity in the haloed healing light abound…
Embrace the moments in silence and serenity.

Artwork Titled- ‘Blessings’ Painting by Savvy Raj

My painting ‘Blessings’, came to me almost as a flow… It spoke much to me as I brushed in serenity-of-silence with the colours it was as if it was meant to manifest itself and all along I sensed I was simply a channel.

Shine your light

Shine your light
The light of you
That comes through you
Your truth in your voice
Your speech in your words
Your work, your authenticity
Your moves, your way
Step into your light
Step into your place
Fill it with all of you
For none can fill this space
There is no other quite like you
For you are unique
In your own way
Shine on.

Inside job

Content with what you got?

Do you want less or more?

True happiness is in appreciation

And gratitude for what you have.

With an acceptance of what is.

No wonder happiness is an inside job.

What is happiness?

Besides all the above…

For me now it is also about great connections

Trusted companionship

And effortless communication at this moment.

It’s about a certain lightness and ease of being.

And of course blissful sleep with good health & prosperity…

That let’s me do all the things I intend to do..

What makes you happy in this now?

Happy hearts

A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.
Anne Roiphe

Nice quote. But it is one sided. For I think it’s likewise for any one. Man or woman. A happy spirit makes others happy.


Wonder why it’s assumed that only women need to smile, is it OK for men to be grumpy?


A smiling face no matter man woman, child or a pet makes way for a beautiful blessed day!


Let’s make it  more inclusive
Lets value the beauty of smiles and it’s corelation to happy relationships.

Seasons Greetings

On Giving

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

On Giving


Give the good you have
Every time before the ask
Consciously consistently
Every time you do
You create space within
For more good to find its way in

In reality
Giving from all of you
Is much easier done than said
For all you need is to be you
Giving with all your heart
Making it a regular practice
Sensing true freedom in spirit
Aligning you with the Universe
A little more in every deed.

Joy of Dance

At the 49th World Dance Congress UNESCO Mumbai. 2018. My lecture presentation on The Relevance of Dance Education in Communities to a distinguished world audience from the field of Dance and Dance Research.

I spoke about how learning to dance brought out massive changes in marginalised communities, senior citizens and also recited in a poem format, my learnings while teaching dance to Visually impaired school children.

There is so much power to movement to encourage, to give hope, and empower a life to sense the possibilities in their potential beyond situations and circumstances.

This image came up as a great reminder of that beautiful day five years ago.

At the heart of it all is the love I have to share the joy of dance movements. I have had some amazing experiences along the way over the last two decades of being a dance educator. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learnings and the sharings.

Suffice to say that after all these years though I have moved to doing many more things along with my writings, the simple joy of dance will always keep me happy at heart.

Authentic Connection

People we happen to meet
Are perhaps meant to be met
And then there are people
We intend and choose to meet
It takes will and effort
Of commitment to a connection.
And when it comes to managing it
Care & connect from all of you!
For even a single moment of authentic connection
In thoughts words and deeds
Is enough to make a indelible heart print.
No matter your crazy schedules
You create a bond lasting a lifetime…

First try

I am truly fond of trees & of nature in every form. This is the result from the first time I used AI to create an image. And I was truly happy. For it generated from my few prompts, a very powerful & poignant picture, suiting my sensibilities.

Aesthetically & artistically it speaks much, especially liked how the red blooms emerge from the sides of the trunk interestingly juxtaposed & rightly so to colour balance the whole rendition well.


I love the light in the background especially behind the trunk of the tree. Of light that is gentle like dawn. As if to say I am there  arising, just around to dispel darkness.


This above artwork I had posted yesterday on my blog post Light, it is a result of my imagination brought to reality by AI, the creator from my thoughts and words & it’s unparalleled knowledge and inputs. Perhaps I got lucky or perhaps my words hit home… I landed with a complete artwork.And suffice to say, I am truly happy with the results. I decided to add it to my profile pic.

What do you think of this artwork ?


What about you? Have you started  trying AI images? What were your first experiences like? Did it meet your expectations?

Did you have to tweak your words & prompts? What was the feeling like? Were you able to relate with your output ?

Endless are the possibilities

In the collaborative effort

Of art & the science of it all

In expansivity and inclusion

There is artistry in the congruence

All it needs is to take a step

In self belief, trust & faith!

Magic is in this now✨

How are you in this now?

What is the energy you are feeling?

Every moment creates it’s own energy. It manifests from intentions & the way we feel. For it can change the energy quotient in the Now.

I choose to sense the serendipity,

I envision it’s flow and perhaps a world that WALTZES magically in the serendipity.

I choose to find it in and around me.If I am feeling a little low…

I choose to reimagine the world in hope and intend in positivity.

The energies that surround us, listen to what we say in every second.

I am smiling as I have thought of this now.

I feel light in my heart and though I would love to fly to a million places all at the same time. But this now I have with me. I choose to value it’s infinite possibilities.

And I am grateful for this moment in awareness. Hope to share my heartfelt positivity for this now.

I trust this now,

For the magic is in this now!✨

Breathing Space

After every exhilarating day

Comes moments of confusion

Of thoughts rushing for attention

In not knowing which to focus

In the business of thoughts

In trying to make sense of it all

Even the most sorted of minds

Can find it all challenging

In such moments of a tango

Of multiple thoughts in the making

Take a moment to breath deeper

Attend to the breath for a while

As you sail on towards the breath

Trust thoughts to find a way

In the space between themselves

And it all begins to makes sense…

Written for a beautiful blessed soul who was sensing chaos after an extraordinarily happy but hectic day…

I hope she finds her mojo back✨⭐✨
