Healing in your hands

Tap away the voice in your head.
Tap into your own healing touch.
Tap away the doubt and hesitation.
Tap into the ray of light.

Tap away the fear and confusion.
Tap into self-confidence and dare.
Tap away anger and disconnect.
Tap into your inner wisdom.

Tap away mindless distractions.
Tap into your inner silence.
Tap away the ego that bounds you
Tap into the dark spaces & let light in.

Yes, tapping away and tapping into, is a critical holistic skill for a more balanced life. While it’s not as easy as it sounds , for tapping away and into your healing energy can be both an emotional experience, yet the body regenerates itself in the journey of love & light.

The light of the source

Growing on an uncharted path,

All by yourself

Blossoming from inner faith

A strength of belief

Rises you up from within

That you project to the world

Sharing hope and happiness

So, like the delicate flowers

So full of perseverance

Arising  from bud to bloom

Dancing with the wind

Come rain or sun…

You share as you grow…

Beauty is in and around you

Radiating for all to see…

The light of the source.

I am sharing this hopegiving poem I just wrote.

We are all beings of light, moving towards our purpose in our own unique ways. With so much hope within each of us to know and understand along the way…

May we acknowledge and bloom in the light of the source we are created from.

Writing with a pen

To my readers,

It’s a conscious choice to write more, yet streamline my work.

So you may find me posting erratically every once in a while. Although I continue to write every day as I have for the past couple of years .

I simply started to switch to writing on paper, and I shall post one here regularly, but perhaps  not every day. I sense great joy in picking up a pen and writing. It connects me up wires my hand brain coordination  a little more than tapping on digital keys.

I already find myself relaxing into it as now I can write anywhere anytime with or without internet . This  is simplifying as much as satisfying to me.

To talk about the day I first picked up the pen to write, I wrote a few words and found how strange it felt to be actually inking  on paper  after so long . It was a missing action piece in my work. Typing is not the same thing. It takes away  the flow of continuous touch of the pen on paper.

Although I have written every day digitally over these years. I realise  how important  it is to never lose touch with writing by hand.

Writing digitally  may be faster but fine muscle coordination and postural stability improve  when you write with a pen.Something I want to work on again…

The simple joys of flowing with a pen and looking at your work right before you, a tangible piece that   connects you with yourself in the touch. It’s hard to replace.

My writing, which seemed erratic  at first due to lack of practice, has seen much improvement. Hope this art is not forgotten by other writers.

A point of reflection:

When was the last time you took time to write with a pen on a page ?

On Movements

Move from instinct

Move through space

Meet it with grace

Turn inward

Hear the truths echo

In peaceful silence

Forgive in gratefulness

Sense your expression

Tĺhink calmly

Being more available

To your own self

Process your emotions

Clearing residues left in time .

To respond than react

In life & living.

The choice is yours to take

Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

To root is to grow

Have written many times earlier  on rootedness on grounding on awareness. But today, I share another perspective on the strength of rooting  for self growth and transformation.

Self growth needs committed perseverance, patience and passion for continuous  improvement.  That is how the human race evolves .To root is to help grow and evolve .

Be unafraid of rooting

If you are looking to grow

And have a vision 

Of what it is you want to grow 

Then by all means 

Find your growth

In rooting yourself  firmly

Be unafraid

Of the winds of change

For what blows in blows out

Keep the faith  and trust in you wherever  you  are

And believe you are enough for you.

Beautiful things begin to happen.

The Mountain Beckons…

Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it 
For in its wake,  the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights

There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient  pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers  as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,

With the strength of stability in its sureness.

Map in my veins

The map in my veins

Lead to those unknown paths

Across the world

To places and spaces

I was  meant to go

To connect with those

I was to meet

Its all ordained  I can tell

Now as I look back

Each relevant to whole

Emerging & merging

In this story of life

The pen with words I weild now

Yields through as witness 

To learnings  and experiences

Leaving an imprint

In the footprints of time.

Cultivating Compassion

It’s a radically transforming act

In this rapidly evolving world

When you let compassion move beyond aspirations

To being an actionable practice,

For the truth is, empathy is not elusive behavior

It is a trainable trait

Every act of kindness

Thoughtful presence

In choosing compassion & care

Reshapes & rewires our neural pathways

To empathic connections.

Here is a guided meditation for cultivating compassion in thoughts words & deeds.

Take a few moments to ease in  and breathe genttly in a quiet space.

In awareness calmly sense the natural rhythm of your own breath.

Think of someone  you know who is kind and imagine the warmth that radiates from your heart towards them and extend the very same energy to someone who is challenged by it.

In every inhale, welcome peace in silence and likewise in every  exhale release the unnecessary. Inhale faith and exhale doubt.

Every positive compassion filled thought reshaped the internal narrative and the world around us.

Sense the moments integrating in empathy in compassionate connection & possibility.

Incorporating such conscious and intentional practices embodies compassion into our spheres of influence in and around us  through thoughts, words & deeds

Do share your reflections on what it means to be connected  in the world today. Let’s spark the movement towards  cultivating global compassion.

Story of strength 

In Japan, a ten-year-old boy had a goal of becoming a judo champion.

However, he was disabled. He didn’t have a left arm.

Becoming a judo champion is a huge challenge even for those with strong arms and legs.

What could a boy without one arm do?

He approached many trainers.

All of them looked at him with pity and sent him back.

The boy didn’t lose heart. He kept trying.

Finally, one trainer agreed to teach him judo.

The training started. The trainer taught him only one move.

Days, weeks, and months passed. The trainer didn’t seem to teach him anything else. The boy got frustrated.

“Master, knowing just one move isn’t enough to become a judo champion. Will you teach me anything else?” he asked.

“If you master this one move, that’s enough,” the trainer replied.

There was no arguing with the trainer. The boy continued his practice.

He mastered that single move well.

The championship began!

First match: A well-trained opponent against this boy who knew only one move.

The match started. To the surprise of the audience, the boy won.

Second match: He won again.

He continued to advance and reached the semi-finals.

He struggled a bit but won that match too.

Now it was the final match.

His opponent was a multiple-time champion. He felt a bit of pity and some disdain for the boy without an arm. But the boy didn’t falter.

The match started. In the first round, the opponent knocked the boy down.

Seeing the boy’s condition, the audience was shocked. The organizers considered stopping the match.

“Let the boy fight,” said the trainer.

The opponent, now careless, thought he didn’t need any safety gear to fight this boy.

The boy executed the one move he knew with great force. The opponent fell.

The boy became the champion.

The audience couldn’t believe it, and the competitors were astonished.

Even the boy couldn’t believe his victory.

That evening, he asked his trainer.

“Master, how did I win this match? I won with just one move,” he said.

Smiling, the trainer replied, “There are two reasons for your success.”

First, you have mastered one of the most difficult moves in judo.

Second, the only way to counter that move is for the opponent to grab your left arm. But you don’t have a left arm!

“Your weakness turned into your strength and made you a champion!”

The boy marveled at the trainer’s words. He felt joy thinking about how his weakness had become his strength.

Each of our minds is a sea of talents. Diving into it can yield pearls or shells, depending on how long we hold our breath.

Every person is endowed with unique talents by God. Our success lies in discovering and utilizing them.

Allow and just be…

Allow yourself spirit to emanate joy

Allow the body to feel its contentment

Allow the self to embody peace

Allow the heart to open itself  to possibilities

Allow the self to move in space  and sense the freedom it offers.

Just  be and allow
