Keep the Spring in your heart
Then no Winters are too harsh
Or Summers too hot to handle
As Seasons change around you
You sense it all from the hope of your heart.
And hope springs forth eternally…

Art of Speaking
There is more to speaking than what we simply hear.
And the power of positive speech cannot be underestimated.
Speak as you would like to be spoken to
Speak clearly with confidence & certainty
Speak to convey the message than try to control.
Speak using positively affirming words.
Speak politely and avoid sarcasm.
Speak with empathy and avoid criticism.
While speaking to children…
A child hears and understands the tone of your voice well.
Keep it balanced as far as possible
Use it well to convey the messsge without yelling.
And most of all
Speak with words that appreciate than admonish.
It makes all the difference.

Survivor tree
Survivors have a uniqueness
That’s bestowed in the survival
This Hart tree is a Giant Sequoia tree.
In Redwood Mountain Grove California
This tree has survived the ravages of fire.
Carrying the scars in silent grace
By shaping herself this way in time.

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

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

The Luminous Mind
In the consistency of mindfulness practices
The mind attains luminosity
A state of radiance of the primal mind.
The mind may be obscured
Every now and then
By the passing thoughts
Like the clouds obscuring the sun
And yet the sun knows
The clouds are meant to drift along
As the path of light shines through
Like ray’s of light beams itself
Never underestimate the power
Of the Luminous Mind

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.

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.

Words of wisdom
Awareness is built in the sensing
Like how only when the feelings are felt
In the heart there is a sensing of hope.
Like how time is measured of the moments
All else is illusory and will fade away!
Care to tune inwards to sense and feel
The gift of your own life in the heartbeats
Value the preciousness of life itself
Live it Lovingly!
