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.

The gift of nature

From time to time

Make it a habit

To give yourself a gift

For wellness sake

The gift of nature

Plant a seed

Walk in nature

Hug a tree, touch a flower

Meditate in open spaces

And reduce your stress.

And uplift your mood

APPRECIATION

Teach children to be open to new perspectives, nurture in them the ability to appreciate, it not only transforms them but also the way they interact in the world.

When the world feels safe enough

I wonder

When the world  will feel safe enough…

To trust the day that is unfolding

To be assured there will be peace

To feel secure, wherever we are

Till then let’s keep breathing

And being present in the breath

And in hope all is well.

Weathering the storms

Wither not yourself away

Weathering the storms

Every life finds itself

In the whirlpool of chaos.

And often unfortunately so.

Pick yourself up

Dust away the doubts

Don your best attitude

And look ahead

At a not so distant time

And trust in yourself

For storms precede the calm.

 

Sense the strength of spirit

Moving towards your purpose

Know every storm has one

Find yourself on your way

To fulfilling your soul purpose.

Power of Poise

The silent language  of leadership.

Have you ever experienced how some people exude confidence in just their efforless presence? 

It isnt just about the words you speaks but how you show up .

And if you can imagine how the body posture influences the way you move when in alignment you will sense how you exude a quiet confidence flowing in every step you take. Like dancers  deportment,creating the art of presence. Quite akin to the silent language of leadership.

Here are a few insights on how  deportment influences leadership.

More than 55% of communication  is nonverbal and hence how you carry yourself speaks volumes without a word

Maintaining  a good posture  enhances confidence & authority thereby influences how others perceive leadership.

Composure & Presence

Dancers composure shapes their movements And while dance movement training builds poise it also enhances emotional intelligence & resilience all valuable traits for effective leadership.

Adaptability  is Power

Whether in a dance or in leadership situations with quick  decision taking & bouncing back in crisis the ability to move with  fluidity & grace in changes that come with the challenges in time defines success.

Energy speaks louder than words

Leaders, like dancers, must be fully engaged aware of their space, their audience, their message.

Self Check-in

How are you breathing in this now? Is your breath calm or  labored.?

What is your  attitude reflecting ?  Composure & confidence or  Confusion and nervous hesitation.

Power of Alignment

How about if the next time you step into a room you become aware of your posture the way you are carrying yourself?  And then intentionally align yourself.

After all, like dancing, leadership is consistent practice, not just a single performance.

So much more…

Hopegiving & motivational words  that serve as a reminder to self.

Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.

Let not the problems that come by boggle you .

Know time has all the answers

Keep the faith.

Let not the hear and say affect you.

There is always more than what is said or heard.

So much more.

Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle

Rest & recharge yourself & keep  the spirit alive.

Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.

You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.

You are much more than that.

So go ahead, aspire to transform  yourself  for the better

And keep moving closer to your dreams.

Taking a step in time.

And most importantly, trust in yourself

For there is always so much more

To you, for you  & by you.

Smiles from the heart

Being a happy person

I have tided over

The challenges with a smile

Grateful for the dance in my life

I draw energy from movements

As they appear to move me

I unwind and unfurl

My hearts deepest feelings

In the flow of the moves

I sense the beauty of this now.

And I smile from the heart.

Weight of love

Love can be light

Love can be heavy

Such is the weight of love.

In one moment

Love spreads love

Love shares hope

In another moment

Love fills us with despair

Such is the irony

Of the weight of love.

And yet love is the way

For all of us…

Live life lovingly…

On Love

Imagined with Ai

Love begets love

But being in love

Can be bittersweet

For love takes you

On a journey

Unto your own self

It tests you.

In opportune times

It lays bear your soul

Challenges your body & mind

Many times over

Until you are ready

To see love for itself

Beyond the apparitions

Aspire to love & be loved

For it is better to love & be loved

Than not at all.

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

All in good time …

It’s worth pausing…

Contemplation before  knee jerk reactions will always be beneficial

The truth is cultivating the art of patience takes time and consistent endeavour .

And yes it all adds up to self belief,  trust and faith , valuing the precious now in this journey .

All is well in time.
All in good time.

Seeding Wisdom

The seed bears wisdom untold

From humble beginnings

Emerges immense possibilities

What seems a non starter

Can be a gamechanger.

And yet…

Growth has many phases

In the course of its life

Through the ups & downs

The chaos gives way to clarity

From the immature to maturity

The tree stands tall

Embracing the changes .

The seed to a tree

Teaches the wisdom of patience,

As it bears fruits in time.
