Timely intervention

Our habits are in our hands

When we  choose to rise  and sleep

What, when  and how we eat

How much we sit or move every  day

What kind of lifestyle we lead

Every one of this is a choice we have

Our body is meant to  change in time

But our habits can make all the difference

We can cultivate wellness in our ways

We can choose to empower our mind

We can choose to live life Lovingly

We can cultivate  positive thoughts & ways

All is in the timely interventions

In our life and living.

Real Joy!

If ever you feel the need to be uplifted

Simply bring yourself 

To look around  and within

To consider all the things

That gives you real joy!

There is so much more to living

Even the ordinary day

Can turn extraordinary

If you choose to see it so.

Build bridges not walls

From the architect of time, the source creator came a space of nothingness (akash)from space came matter (energy) from matter came movement (wind, air) from movement came fluidity (flow, water) from fluidity came existence from existence emanated the spirit of life (the breath of life, fire passion).

The elements existence are a guide in an acknowledgement of interdependence. An awareness of the interconnections is an acceptance that everything exists in the subtlety of balance. The spirit of life and living is the bridge to our calling and purpose of being and the journey to the being. The path is and will be ours and yet not just ours.

 Every move in time is interlinked in the bridge of time that we were, are and will be on. The bridge of time is in eternal cycle of motion. All matter constitutes one or more of the elements in different proportions . While the mind of the matter perceives it in thoughts, the heart of the matter senses … The mindful thoughts and heartfelt feeling are both real and unreal all at the same time.

 Consciousness is the bridge of awareness between the extrinsic and the intrinsic between the learning and the knowing. And in this understanding is the realization… whole and complete, of all as it is .

On Need

The strength of the Interconnects….

Runs deeper than we can fathom.

We need one another and ourselves

To complete the circle of life

As we are however we are

To help one another in need

We can take a step to bring ourselves

Closer to the truth of our being

Such is the need of our times

More than ever before.

On Expectations

Our expectations are our internal picture of what we anticipate will happen in future. When our expectations are met we are happy but when not, they set us up for disappointments.

Setting the expectations and giving clarity can be effective in a professional environment. Yet when we do not communicate it or when we set unrealistic expectations it can lead to anxiety frustration & loss of trust.

A few traits to develop that help in handling our expectations better.

Communication : Acing our internal and external communication establishes an understanding of the expectations.

Adaptability : An art of change management. In being adaptable to a new and different reality we learn to manage our expectations.

Kindness & compassion : Both help us hone our attitudes. The way we feel and emote during a challenging moment helps us manage and alter the situation.

Patience : A virtue that helps us to not be too exacting on ourselves and others.

Equanimity : Being non judgmental helps in being less edgy and more balanced in our expectations.

After all…

Less you expect
Less  you worry
Less you stress
More is the faith
More the love
More life

On Self Awareness

We need to see beyond survival

We need to go beyond adapting

We need to transform our life

Beyond the present perceptions

That we are conditioned by

We need to release the fear and anxiety

And apprehensions that we are living with

We can touch transcendence

Through faith, prayers & meditations

For insights to stabilize and get embodied

In such a stage of conscious presence

As we build our self awareness

We vibrate and tune into new frequencies

We hear and listen more and evolve

In our unique journeys.

In this now

In this now

Lies the potential

In the possibilities

In this now

Is the wisdom garnered

In living life

Until this now

In this now

Is the soulfulness

In the being

Without this now

Nothing is .

All is in this now.

Subtlety Of Consciousness

All matter is energy 
And we are unique speckles of vibrations.
All resonating in the universality of life and living.
Trust you matter, more than you know 
Believe you can and are making a difference 
As you connect deeply in the universal flow 
Tune in to reflect the truth of your being.
 
Every word every deed 
Every step every move 
Impacts the larger whole 
Just as much as the world around you.
So start with who and what is around you 
Sense your intuitive self talking to you 
Telling much in all its subtlety.
Trust it, for it is abound
With the strength of the subtle energies.
Resonate joy, abundance, balance
Resonate love ,harmony and peace
For you have the power to transform your world

A Place for Peace

Ego says
Once every thing falls in place I will find peace

Spirit says,
Find peace and every thing  will fall in place.

And I say
Give peace a place in your heart and everything else is peacefully in place.

People Matter

Recently I came across a very relevant set of words share.

100% of your employees are people

100% of your customers are people

100% of your investors are people

If you don’t understand people you don’t understand buisness.

Never a more simply conveyed truth on the value of being people centric in buisness.

And it all starts from paying attention and listening from the human perspective.

Their desires needs their pain points the problems they want solutions for and hence its important for a business to pay attention to building a meaningful and memorable humane relationship with all these segments of ‘ people’ to create a pathway to make a positive difference

Companies may have many people centric policies rolled out, they may proclaim they are people centric and may be they have invested much to make their office spaces comfortable for instance but without building a relationship of trust and transparency it is still a far shot towards their highest potential.

To garner the support from people, it is important to think from and include the peoples perspective..

The voice of the people, employees customers investors all give great insights on path of continous improvements & the new possibilities of development.

What do you think?

Do you feel valued at the workplace?

Do you have any experiences to share on this?

On Listening

There is the power of Sounds

Discovered in betwixt the Silence

In the meditative mode of stillness

In contemplative introspection

In the expansiveness of understanding

In the depth of listening

There is then the power of words

Of the vision in the verses

Of expressions in the sensing

Flowing with feelings in the sharing

All vibrations in the resonance.

There is in the power of Silence

Discovered betwixt the words

That speaks the truth yet unspoken

When Silence Speaks

It is good to listen.

On Acceptance

In Acceptance, there are many perspectives in the understanding.
Acceptance as I see it, is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of self acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient  nature of  everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now. 
Acceptance is often seen as being defenseless.


Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength,  is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the  whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness, in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The Paradox of Idea Generation

While working with teams in collaboration Our assumptions and notions often lead us.

Our expressions are guarded and stunted in Our doubts kicks in a resistance to be free.

The attitudes that we carry around ideas
Often block us from generating fresh ideas
We believe our idea must be the best idea.
We believe we cannot say what we think.
We fear the criticism of what we openly say
We hold back thinking sharing is not wise.
Or that someone  will steal our ideas.
Or that we will not get credit for it.
Or perhaps the need for perfection kicks in

All are the real blocks in creative ideations
Without faith and confidence in ourselves
We cannot express & ideate in groups
Yet nothing is achieved in silos
Growth is a consequence of the sharing.

Creative possibilities are enhanced
In a more exploratory space of learning Adopting  a more collaborative approach.
As we begin to share, we learn some more.

Great ideas are born from creative collaboration.

Have you tried to collaborate creatively with a team? Do share your experiences.

The Grass Is…

Grass is as you see it!

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.

The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”

The lion replied: “True, the grass is blue”.

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence”.

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”..

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”

Truth asserts itself!

The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green”.

The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?”

The lion replied:

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question.

Your time is precious!

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense…

There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

What to focus on ? Choice is yours!

When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.
