Whenever spirituality is discussed… there is always a question as to what is spirituality? And what is its significance in our lives?
Spirituality is a sensing of connection. The first step towards spirituality is about understanding the self as we are and then it’s an understanding of something greater than the self.
Simply put the spiritual significance of our lives is in the way we choose to live our lives.
To me spirituality is a sense of being & becoming a better person than yesterday, in selfawareness,in empathic connection, in being compassionate and kinder human being.
There are many pathways to explore spirituality and it’s unique to each of us.
It’s a pathway to finding the truth of your being and living life lovingly!
From yoga and movement arts to prayer and divination, the way we approach spiritual practices is varied and as unique as us.
These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.
Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.
‘Don’t show your pride before your wife. She came to you just believing in you Not your relatives.

Can’t she have her dreams, her desires, to be fulfilled with you?
Anger may stem from deep resentment, held unexpressed for a very long time. Often it may surface in memory associations quite unexpectedly. Or it may be come from bitterness or unfairness meted out.
When angry, it is difficult to breathe, forget think. As all the pent up frustrations get mixed up with emotions and feelings causing an outburst.
Management of anger is difficult as you do not know when you are going to get angry next.
But tapping into mindful awareness, of the signs of anger and dispassionately working towards steps that channelize the feeling of anger in practical ways to release the pent up frustrations begins to help manage anger gradually.
There are many therapies for anger management but it’s important to find one that is suitable to you.
When was the last time you got angry?
How did you express it?
Did you feel bad after the episode of anger?
Do you remember the emotions that you went through when you were angry?
More importantly did you do anything about your anger?
Who doesn’t get angry I wonder. As anger is necessary evil as it is meant to be a vent for any built up steam.
Management of anger starts with acknowledgement and awareness of the issue at hand.
Personally walking, dancing painting writing and solitude top my ways of channelizing anger. I find myself calmer and relaxed and in a happier state post a dance session or after writing or creating an artwork.
I also like to do work that requires organisation like folding clothes arranging things to get me back to equilibrium.
The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.
The journey of imagination Takes me into the beyond From nothing to something From something to everything And in this travel is limitlessness In the abundance of possibilities The unreachables & unattainables Becoming sublime along the way Traveling on, with the inate potential Of infinite beginnings of imagination.

Any Success is a result of passion that makes you show up no matter what , patience in observing, listening, exploring and understanding. And perseverance to dedicatedly continue what you do as well think of how to sustain it forward.

Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.
But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.
