Exactly six years ago, I was approached by my friend now, Maria Teresa to write a chapter and contribute to her book from the perspective of healing through the art of movements.
Privileged to have contributed my bit to this book on PTSD and how Dance can play a vital role in reducing the symptoms of the same . Available on Amazon now at http://tinyurl.com/qbcvqjs

True learning happens when we realize we are the teacher and we are the student. And life teaches the greatest lessons without anyone uttering a word or at times in just the sheer presence of a good soul .
Likewise as we dance from our heart without a spoken word and open ourselves to realization and acceptance of new possibilities… true dancing happens!

A fun share
I received a marriage invitation. In the end was printed. ” Your presence itself is a gift. We don’t want any gifts at the marriage.”
I read it again and again. Was getting confused…
Finally I came to the conclusion, that I am not invited. And decided not to attend.

English is a language which must be carefully handled; otherwise, it leads to wrong and opposite meaning.
Dedicated to All English professors.
Sharing this heartfelt read…
Gratitude is gratefulness
In acceptance & acknowledgement
In sensing grace
Bestowed upon us
No storm is too strong in its wake.
In deepest turmoil
Choose the power of Gratitude
For in its positive intentions
And glory of goodwill
Life turns harmonious
Every things aligns perfectly
And music resounds its magical melodies
All is well once again.
Glory to the Gladiator of Hearts
The chaperone of connectedness
That seeks to invoke the strength
In these interconnects
For no man is too strong
As much as all of us together
I bow to the Grace of Gratitude

I saw this photo this morning and I thought now this is what sands are meant for…
The oceans shares gifts for us every day on these shores
That leaves us with awe and wonder
Of the mighty underworld and its beings.
And we can only see them if we stop dumping manmade trash over them.
Lets pledge to support the sustenance of our beautiful planet.
Let’s begin to care for our from where we are!

Such a beautiful and inspiring share.
Yesterday I happened to read this share on social media. And I truly appreciate the mindset of these two beautiful people.
One who believes learning has no age or defined boundaries And goes on to prove it by completing her graduation.
Another who values the needs and heartfelt intentions of another and is accepting and inclusive enough to have no place for insecurities of any kind to seep in, while helping her accomplish her goals.
It’s truly fascinating to read this. And I do know the journey must have been one of those rare kinds as well as challenging on many fronts for both of them.
It’s truly not often that you witness such beautiful endeavors.
And speaking candidly…
How many daughters would actually want their mothers in college with them?
How many will be happy to accompany their mothers every day while in college?
How many mothers would have the thirst for knowledge and the passion, patience and perseverance needed to do something about it to such a degree?
Salute to both these spirited souls.
For sharing their learning journey. And showing age is just a number and inclusion is a matter of an expansive heart.❤

The Beginners Mindset
Helps in honing the ability
To see the world with fresh eyes
In curiosity, awe and wonder
Letting go of unnecessary perceptions
That can cloud the clarity.
When you choose
An open mind
Without assumptions
And preconceived notions
Without pride or prejudice
No matter who you are
What you have,
Or how much you know…
You are present
You are receptive
And welcoming of perspectives
To explore infinite possibilities
Of the potent now.
Savvy
The way you live this now you have
Is beyond how life treats you
Trust the possibilities in this now
Let go of the unnecessary doubts
Trust in your reason to be
Trust your intentions keep the faith
Life is a reflection of perceptions
And self beliefs manifests hope within.
Keep being the best version of you
Because you truly can!

Life Skills: Empathy Education
Life with all its complexities and contrasts creates a necessity to chalk out ways to make young impressionable minds better equipped to handle its exigencies. Holistic education is so much about grounding in connectedness as much as it is about intuitive understanding that, harmony in the mind body connection is a way of life and living.
An education in empathic behavior becomes paramount in a materialistic world. A lot of misconception about empathy needs clarification.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another acknowledging them as they are, in a nonjudgmental space and being with another sensing the feelings and caring to reach out with support through words action and deeds …
Empathy can be sensed in a touch a nod or a smile or in the simplicity of silence, doing nothing but just being there ….
Empathy is a sharing, a feeling, a bonding, a being, a seeing, a sensing, a trusting and believing in hope, in faith, in life and grace.
Empathy is about caring, as a way of being. Empathy is not always about bearing the suffering and sensing another’s pain or being in a state of sorrow or pain. There can arise great empathy when dancing together or in a classroom environment where the teacher feels one with the student’s frame of mind and speaks to address that … or hearing or performing a song or play together with unbridled sense of bonding and enthusiasm. This empathy can be reflected time and time again in striving to consciously stay aware of the mutually creative fulfillment it brings to our lives. Positive benefits of empathy can become a mirror to gradually inducing greater empathic behavior in our lives towards ourselves and others.
Our movements have the power to change our moods, as much as our thoughts can bring a change in our way of being. It doesn’t matter who believes in your empathic way of life, what matters is you believe in it yourself. And that is the first step in making a positive difference. When there is an empathy in action, it is mirrored in our minds to create, generate loving and caring thoughts as a response to the action.
Every empathic thought finds its way into expression thoughts words or deeds creatively. With increasing empathic thought and action there is unknowingly a connectedness, valuing the interdependence in this web of life and living as a way of being.

Every living being is making a difference to the environment in every moment. The question is how and in what way can it become sustainable.
With melting ice-caps, the collapse of vegetation and wildlife, and violent surges of hurricanes droughts and frequent wildfires are all concerns for our world.
And there is really not much difference in the apathy that is happening in the name of sustaining the future… only much similarity in the situation of corruption and deceit through politics of governing people whatever the part of the world we are living in.
Sustaining the world is each of our responsibility as we think of ways to nurture the earth and nourish souls.
It is time to take it upon ourselves to make a positive difference from wherever we are.
Reduce reuse and recycle … every tiny effort makes a better world!
