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✨⭐✨

On Spirituality
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.
What is spirituality to you?
Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?
What are your kind of spiritual practices?

On Meditation
Meditation is simply
A dedication of time
For your own self care.
It’s a way to tune inwards
In witness mode.
In the stillness as the mind quietens
Begins the path of your own
In self – expansion beyond self- limitations
Meditation is a choice you make
Unfolding the limitless potential you hold within.

When the truth tumbles…
Life as a couple
Has its own challenges
Yet what matters is trust
In a loving relationship.
Trust that makes you feel safe
That makes you sense security
And value for being you.
To be heard, & loved as you are.
Often expectations from one partner
To toe the line and accept everything
Brings in uncomfortable silences
Or unwanted arguments and conflicts
Breaking a relationship gradually.
Perhaps it is about negligence
Or lack of consideration & care
Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy
Or even inequality that creates a gap
That widens in time and cracks
The strongest of partners.
Compromise or need
May keep them staying together
Just existing not living a life.
The show goes on…
Until it one day becomes unbearable.
And the inevitable truth tumbles.
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.
My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?
Can’t she have her dreams, her desires, to be fulfilled with you?
On reading this message
Something more rankled my mind
The question of expectations
To be fulfilled by the partner.
It’s never about needs
Being fulfilled by the other
But with one another.
In todays world
It’s about finding time
To be present in the now
With one another.
How many agree?

Zen of Oneness
In the unison
Of the mind& body
Is the integrity
Of the Spirit & Soul
Oneness eases itself
In alignment
In the divinity
Is the state of zen
Channelizing anger
Anger is a burning coal
Destroying the one holding it
Choose to be less worked up
And let go of the little things.
Life makes things better
Anger is a powerful emotion
That is unpredictable by nature
Expression is the first step
To channelize anger issues
Secondly choosing to shift attention
To focus on something positive
Helps to channelize the anger within
This helps in converting anger
To constructive behavior.
Thirdly conscious deep breathing
Ensuring a sense of calm
Adapting to change is another way
By doing a bit of rethinking
To find a new sense of perspective
Helps to see the reasoning well.
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.
How do you channelize your anger?

Sponge Heart
There is a profound Croatian saying
by Tea Obrecht –
“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”
What is your first thought on this?
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.
Heart is a resilient organ
It keeps on beating through life.
In a lifetime it acts like a sponge
Yet it squeezes itself in every beat
Cleansing to regenerate itself.
Heart is resilient as a fist
Yet open to receive & share love
Heart is intelligent in its intuition
Courageous and compassionate
Caring loving and humane
For after all humanity is heart centric.

Travel on…
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.
Sky above, earth below, and fire within…
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
The fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture
In passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring, I choose to fly
I wonder awed by infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature
A garden of life,
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, the awaiting purpose of life.
With my Spirit afire in my beating heart.

Life & Living
Sharing this read of an impressive story of an Indian entrepreneur Dr Reddy and his dedicated pathways to success.
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.
Life lived well
In passion & purpose
Is a successful life!
Wisdom of walking on…
To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.
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.
There is great wisdom in such a practice.
There is always something
That you would have done
That which you have accomplished
Your success that you are proud of!
However,
What you did yesterday
Cannot be taken for granted
For it is back in time
What ever your achievements
Your accomplishments are yours to know
Yet life is not lived backwards
You can take your learnings
From what is done and apply to this now
For the future is another day
Dwell not in time gone by
Past glory recedes in time
No matter the memory into a distant dot.
Choose to be in this present
For then the hits and misses
Become small matters in the sun
Then no challenge is unsurmountable
For then success and failures
Become stepping stones to learn from
Walk on in this now…
