Be so engaged with your life that you take all of you in whatever you do!
Find yourself!
How involved are you in life?
In your passion?
In your engagement?
In your purpose?
In your life’s moments?
What is it that makes you go on
Taking all of you
Into whatever you do?
Perhaps…
You have an answer within
You are already on your path!
Creating anything worth having
Can take all of you
To be involved to be engaged
With a purpose that drives you…
Beyond yourself!
And you find yourself!

This morning a refreshing conversation with my mother triggered a series of thoughts on different directions in Hindu Scriptures.
Usually there are eight directions depicted in any compass.
She shared how there are ten mentioned directions in the Hindu scriptures and named each of them. Besides the four cardinal and four ordinal directions it’s interesting to note the two additional directions are Urdhva the highest point symbolizes by creator (Brahma) Zenith and Adhah the opposite represented by (Vishnu) the preserver, which call the Nadir.
It was intriguing to note how these preordained guardians of our galaxies play a significant role in Astrology and Cosmology with insights on how everything connects in life and living.
I started researching further trying to understand more. I came across this interesting share…
‘It’s quite intriguing to note how much effort our ancestors put into demystifying the elements of nature & their impact on us,’
I highlighted this line in the above informative article, because the more you learn of this vast ocean of scriptures you realise there is another horizon of understanding that beckons.
But one thing leads to another…
And that’s how the path of learning grows. And everything connects….

Balancing power play
In a group setting as a life coach it is important to balance power dynamics.
It is important to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.
Being inclusive creates an expansion of thoughts and ideas in openness tolerance and acceptance of new possibilities.
In a group setting it is important to hold space by balancing participation through inclusive ways like encouragement appreciation and rewarding contributions. This ensures the power dynamics are kept in check by empathic approach and moderation by allowing space for all to speak up, so as to prevent lopsided conversations.
Have you had any such experience as a team member ?
Do share your experiences of power dynamics at play in group setting.

Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.
Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.
As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.
Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.
At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.
What are your experiences with music?
When was the last time you heard your favorite songs?
When did you do something creative while listening to music?

Being rude is easy, it creates animosity.
Politeness comes from caring in goodwill.
Being angry is easy, it breaks down relationships.
Patience comes from perseverance of the being.
Being hostile is easy and hurts another.
Love is soulful and builds one another.
Being hateful is easy, it weakens the spirit.
Kindness emnates from the strength of the soul.

What is your state of mind today ?
Are you feeling expansive and inclusive
Then it’s a positive phase of growth mindset
And if you are feeling empty and mindless
Then perhaps you need space and & time to rebalance yourself.
If you feeling extremely creative and going out of the box in your thoughts and associations…
Then perhaps there is an exploration of the mind in expansiveness.
Ifr you are feeling small and narrow in thoughts
Perhaps there is introspection going on for a while
You need to simply rethink to understand your place in the big picture.
If you are feeling indifferent and dull
Then perhaps you need to sense some energy and enthusiasm in your life as you are exhausted or being absent minded.
If you are being very allowing and receptive to the idea of change, and new ways of transformation then you are in an open minded stage.
It is truly interesting to see & sense the interconnects of the body, mind and spirit of being.

An action that builds confidence is better than inaction which arises from fear.
At times the action is a success, at times may be the action needs a new direction to be successful but action is better than no action.

Work Life Balance &
Mentoring can be beneficial to both the Mentor and the mentee.
While helping in some realistic goal setting it puts things in perspective, A mentor offers emotional support in challenging situations for the mentees so they can begin to identify the root of the problems and come up with solutions. Mentors aid them through coping strategies as well when things don’t happen on time.
Good mentors will help develop resilience and trust in one another thus enabling the bouncing back in difficult situations. And most of all bringing clarity on importance of balancing work and other parts of life and relationships helps unload the feeling of overwhelm that many mentees may be experiencing.
But it is also equally important for Mentors to take care of their wellbeing. so that they can create a positive experience through the process for themselves as much as their mentees.
