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…

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.

We reap as we sow…

We are the Universe
And the Universe is in us
In every cell in every breath
We are connected
But can we really say
We are born equally
Yes, we are flesh and bones
But we live our life differently
We have different experiences
In the interconnects all through
Are we not responsible for it?
The way we lead ourselves
The way we behave
Is the gamechanger.
For the law of nature
Knows not favourites
In nurture nature grows
Whatever is Sown
This is the reality
No matter the illusions
We reap as we sow…

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?

On teamwork

The challenge in building a team is not just about ones performance, but about sustainability, about  how  best the team can work together.

Then not just about working together  but about how much trust care and respect they have for each other that stands the test of times.

The way you see it

Surfers attitude to life…

Imagine that you see a wave coming towards you
What is your first thought in your mind?
Do you see ocean waves as something you will drown in?


Or can you think like surfers do?
And think of riding the waves
For they know there is another one coming along…

Life manifests the way you chose to see it.

On Change

On being a life long student of Change

To be a student of Change
We need to learn about life from it
We need to acknowledge its flow
As part of life, in every now.
To know there will be interruptions
And understand them as intentional
Synchrony at play.
To self arrange the chaos that is sensed.
So in these very changes
As we keep, acknowledging life
As part of the same flow
We begin to be one with change
In conscious awareness
And trust life to flow
For Change is the only constant.

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…

On stress & destressing

It’s not the stress
That is dangerous
But the what we do not do
About the stress that is.

And if we do try to do something the question then is…
Do we really know what we do
Is the right way to destress?

When we suppress
What is stressing us
We are creating pressure
Within us that will burst out in time

When we get angry
Lose out temper
Not only we lose dignity
But we lose our own health

So whether you are a caregiver
Or having chronic ailments
Whether you are feeling burnout
Or finding no way out.


Suppression creates disease
And anger creates heart problems
So between suppression and outbursts
Is a fine edge of balance

To not tilt to the extreme
But to create a pathway to unblock
To vent out without flare ups
To open the door without break it up

It’s all about channeling the flow…

Whether you are battling a crisis
Or feeling lonely on the inside
Whether you are on the edge of rage
Or you feel you have no clue in life…

Remember
There are  as many channels as there are challenges
Consider these as a sample of options.

Conversation and dialogues
Socialisation and friendships
Any activity, Art and creativity
Or passion in perseverance.
Workshops and events
Programs, Therapies galore
Hobbies interests, support groups
Community service or mentorship.  Education & self learning.
Meditation and mindfulness
Alternative Healing modalities.

Would you like to add more…

Stay Hopeful

When the odds stack high, .
When our visions are not far enough,
When the road ahead seems blocked,
When we are at our wits’ end
When we are at cross with destiny
It shakes hand with us.
As it has planned ahead
A reciprocal arrangement
That opens a new path,
A new vision appears.
Nothing ends,
A new beginning starts.
Hope is here to stay.

A poem by my mother Anjana
