If you truly seek
You will find yourself
A heart full of love
Kindness and compassion
A kindred spirit full of passion
Is awaiting your discovery.
If you choose to neglect
To disown and be indifferent
To let go without a care or concern
What is left is lost in time
Nothing remains of it anymore.
Value the gifts of life in living
Like true love and honour it.
You have all but one life
To sense know and care
And intend to make time to live
The blessing called love.

A Digital Painting by Savvy Raj
In the farthest path without a trail
The soul might find its root of being
The heart and mind will set its sail
And stir the soul into its state of knowing
Beyond the path, that’s homeward bound
The journey is the test of the perseverance of will
To reach the home roots of many lifetimes that the soul has found.
Wise to persevere to reach the place unknown and known
The path is forgotten but will be forged on just fine.
When in faith the seeds have been sown
With a will to reach, crossing the trials beyond yours and mine … 🙂

Life is a dance …
Be inspired to dance.
A little everyday.
To move to unshackle
The unnecessary, let go of tensions
Ease into align the body and mind
Inculcate a loving spirit.
Learn to relax and enjoy life!
Every little reminder
That helps us to get up and move
Helps us to be happier souls .
Every step can make a difference.
Take a step… dance on to life!
Savvy
And here is song just for you
To kickstart a move…
I dont know about you …but I feel
Better when I am dancing!

In the bowing is a prayer answered
In the kneeling to the cosmic connects
Acknowledge the grace that’s revered
And the blessing 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.

Our body & mind knows what we need, if only we slow down and take the time to listen in. Moving in conscious connectedness increases mind-body awareness. As a spiritual or healing practice…there is great potential in it to play a vital role in health and well-being. which is a result of moving as one unit; body and mind.
It’s also quite possible to heal ones aches away. A headache, muscle soreness, joint pain often melts away in oblivion by bringing one’s attention and focus on that particular body part and moving mindfully with the awareness of our breath and channelling the energy of the breath.
Likewise, it’s also possible to become aware of actions which aggravate your conditions and back off and instead work on movements which make you feel better.
The same is also true for emotional pain. By bringing one’s attention to what is emotionally hurting and moving slowly through space, allowing the body to lead the way, one often finds emotional pain reduces to a considerable extent. Layers of emotional blockages and disconnects can be peeled away with this awareness about one’s movements in the moments. Centring oneself consciously involves understanding one’s place in space and being comfortable enough where one is and stable enough to be aware of one’s edges and the surroundings.
Healing happens as a consequence of certain specific actions in time. At the same breath a word of cautionary suggestion Taking an example here …, just as it’s very challenging to overcome an unwanted habit but quite easy to succumb to it again. Once you have moved in space and healed yourself off your problems do give a little thought to actions done without reflection as you wouldn’t want to be in the same tight spot which you have wrangled yourself out of with so much effort… right?
So leave a mark of poised, beautiful actions in the monument of time in thoughts words and deeds and you will be consistently feeling twice blessed for sure.

Cells and us!
Irony of our times
In the name of connection
We are truly disconnected
We are celled to our phones
Caught hook line and sinker…
Glued to a metal contraption
That’s overtaking our lives
Living in a imaginary world
We are feeding on bytes
While reality bites
Haven’t we taken
A bite of more than we can chew?

Here is an animation by Steve Cutts …that brings forth the stark truth of our times.
Sifting through layers of life
To arrive at the truth of it all.
You have to pass through many stages.
There will be the lure of enticements
There will be the spell of bewitchments
There will be beguiling colours
That seem to hold your senses in rapture.
But if you truly wish to witness
The truth amidst the facades
You will notice the simplest clues
That were always there right before you
Just that you never noticed
Like as often truth is taken for granted
In the arresting sights that enthrall.
Choose to see beyond the facades
You will touch base with the truth of it all.

Interestingly the thoughts that resulted in this post came from mangoes actually. As my thoughts were on how we as consumers are sold chemically ripened fruits like mangoes and bananas rampantly.
Here is simple way I came across to test chemically ripened mangoes which I also tried at home … Just take a large bowl of water and try to immerse the mangoes in it. Watch what happens…
Apparently only the chemically ripened mangoes float in water and the others rest at the bottom .
The bigger mango is floating and the smaller one is resting at the bottom.
Trying to understand a little more I chanced upon this clip below.
This is a great link share on the same subject. Of sifting through the fakes!!!
Watch “How to find out- Organic Mangoes vs chemical treated Mangoes” on YouTube
We are sadly in a world without ethical practices in businesses. We need to find ways to sustain our world . It begins with each of us. As each step to change for better and find solutions starts with understanding the issues up close.
If any of you have experiences or tips on how to find out the artificially ripened fruits do care to share.
Hope it helps to spread awareness.

Dance is the innate nature of Creation. Nature is dancing all around us…
Rain is the dance of the clouds
Flowing is the dance of the water
Waves are the dance of the ocean
Melting is the dance of the ice.
Breeze is the dance of the wind.
Swaying is the dance of the trees
Blooming is the dance of the flowers
Sprouting is the dance of the seed.
Flickering flames,the dance of the fire
Murmuring, the dance of the birds
Dunes are the dance of the desert
Twinkling stars are the dance of the sky.
Thoughts are the dance of the mind
Actions are the dance of the body
Atoms are the dance of space
Evolution is the dance of life.
A dancing heart enlivens us to fine-tune with our surroundings , adding joy, self confidence and positivity!
My humble tribute to the dancing spirit of my lovely, lively daughter with a heart filled with the dance of Love. 💃🏻💃🏻💐❤😘😍

Few days ago on International Dance day… I received this beautiful poem by my dear mother.
Sharing the few verses above penned by her and her words to me as well.
It truly made my day!🙏

I write when I am charged with an idea, an inspiration. Or perhaps when there is nothing else to do.
I write to radiate the positive intentions in hope & gratitude.
If emotions were tubes of colours
The way we paint every day
The way we live our lives
The way we think and express
Our own experiences in being.
Will be a riot on the canvas.
Envisioning in the seeing…
Flashes of brilliance in bright yellow
Of optimism and cheer
Sporadically surging joy and ecstasy.
Going green in connectedness
Contented lines flowing in trustful acceptance
Or moves markedly hesitant in fear and apprehension.
Arresting artistry of living life in loving kindness
Explosions of reds marking anger
Or in delusions of grandeur in aggression.
In ingenious masterstrokes in fits of rage
Of imagination running wild.
Colour of Purple in projecting pride.
Of passionate perseverance to detail
Or a certain aloofness in respectful reservation.
A sense of ascension and royalty.
Shades of blue in thoughtful flow and serenity
Or organic spaced out zenful zones
Of mindful movements in the making.
Yes there is an emotion in every colour
As colours are but tools of expression
Of the ever changing moods of man
How colorful is the spirit of our soul.
Every colour plays a significant role
Like in the wheel of colours
So are emotions that appear
In the wheel of life.
Each plays it’s part.
All matters to the whole.

Every movement is a sign
That denotes something.
There is always a reason why
Nothing is just accidental.
My terrace garden plan
Started with growing a pot of spinach
While the first few weeks
There was a bountiful green…
As they grew some more
The foliage got a little dense.
It perhaps was overcrowded
It harboured a certain dampness…
Perhaps the spinach leaves curl
In lack of space to accommodate
In so doing they become vulnerable
To infestation in distress.
Any sign of curling
Is a contraction
For self protection
From the ravages in living life!
There is always remedy to heal
In going back to basics
In caring to correct the ways
In allowing space for growth.
Let there be space around
For the leaves to breathe in
Regulate the water intake
Harvest them at the right time.
Growing plants teaches many lessons
Worth applying in life and living.
The choice is ours to take
And choose to optimize in the changes.

Lessons learned from the Three Pots
Patience
Nature never hurries
It takes it’s own time
Nature teaches patience in waiting.
From sowing a seed to reaping a harvest
All goes on in good time.
Seeds to saplings
Leaves to branches
Flowers to fruits
Plants to trees
Roots to stem
All takes it’s own time
To root as much as to grow
Nothing can be hurried.

Our thought vibrations create a change, even a single one
Make sure to think well!
Words create waves, even a single word
Make sure it is positive!
Actions create ripples even a single deed
Make sure it’s well intended!
Songs carry resonances afar, even a single tune
Make sure it plays from a loving heart
Whatever you feel, sense and do
Is never only restricted to you.
The vibrations carry on afar
In ways we may not know
It changes the world
In every moment in time
Make sure to feel responsible
You make a difference
Make sure it is a good one!

Find and choose something to do,
Something to love,
And something to hope for.
And it will make you a happy person.
Something to be, something to do
In the being is the doing.
Yes, the potential to create…
That beautiful ‘something’
Is in each of us.
Create light, feel light, live light.

Point of intersection
Sacred and sacrosanct
To the evolving
In thoughts ideas or deeds.
In making and breaking
In marking or masking
In chanelling or containing
And changing in the exchanges.
The element of space
Creates the challenges.
Emergence of a point or idea
Creates ways for the dance of evolution
Moving it towards convergence
What matters is the path and the way
It chooses to do so.
In intention and contention
Significance of its impact
Matters to the whole
In the freedom lost and gained
As a means to an end
Or in a journey of wonder.
In this dance
Of emergence and convergence
Containing and contracting
In nullifying on impact
Or expressing and expanding
In projecting the possibilities
Creating scope to flourish or finish
Gradually or abruptly.
In the course of such a convergence
The meeting point then diverges
Into the experiences of the being
In thought and action
Creating a muscle memory.
To take off on its course
Treading over or gliding through
To new paths in the possibilities.
In birthing or bouncing off
The intersections create energy

Within and around
And in the spaces beyond
That continues to impact as waves
Deeply even in the subtlest of ways.

At the right place at the right time…
Are places we land, reach, live and interact of our own choice and free will.
Is there a more at play beyond the random?
Isn’t there a pattern to the puzzle?
Are we meant to be where we are supposed to be?
At a particular place and time.
While every life journey in time is unique yet…
Life has an emergent pattern in the order and chaos that it self creates.
And in between, there is organisation and destruction.
Nature has its way in both order and disorder.
When in the flow of harmony there emerges a stillness in structure.
A plan, a commitment and discipline
Seems worth the effort of it all!
All is clockwork and efficient
Life seems at its optimal best.
And then things fall into a routine.
At a heightened state of equilibrium
When all is even & smooth sailing
A slack and slump in motivation appears,
Complacency creeps in time, in that ordered universe.
Creative juices need a boost up .
And that is when entrophy begins.
Changing equations changing hierarchy
Disruption appears as a need for change
All is in flux of a disordered flow
Disaster sets in, tumbling the structure
Crumbling systems until chaos reigns.
Until chaos settles itself again giving way.
To strengthen structure .
The dance goes on
Between freedom and restraint.
Are we truly free ?
Or are we guided to be
At the right place at the right time!
For there is so little we know
Of this self arranging universe
Except to understand
From the emerging patterns.
Of sequences of self similarity
Of timing and spacing.
There is after all so much more to discover.
