Sense of Infinity

I stand here amidst the stillness of trees,

Gazing up at the enchanting evening sky.

I watch the crimson sky fade into oblivion,

Hail the twinkling stars sparkling like diamonds in array,

Enshrouded in the misty cape of pink and blue sky.

Even as these autumn trees play their part

In bringing the vision closer home,

Captured in their silhouettes

Is magic in the sky

And the mystique of the forest

Amidst it all there is delight that dumbfounds.

Of awe and amazement and of wonder in the whimsical

But most of all is the connect to this now

In just sensing the beauty of this, one moment in infinity.

Every time I dance 




I glanced at these words in the post I chanced upon this morning. I sensed that peculiar feeling of passion for dancing stirring within me. It has been a while since I conducted my last workshop and a few days since I last danced. Yet…every sentence meant a lot to me and I know if you share a passion or simply love to dance, you would perhaps resonate with these thoughts as well. So here goes…

I don’t just dance…I perform

Witnessing the world as my stage
I dance my part in this game of life…

I breathe 

Witness to the dance of my breath
In every breath inhaled,  a gratitude of the receiving.

In every aware moment of pauses between the inhale and exhale

Invoking the divinity in the connectedness

Between the silence of sounds and soundlessness.

Every gesture a conscious acknowledgement of this dance of the breath.

The gaps in the journey as pauses in the silence know its purpose of being.

Spaced out in rhythm divine all a part to greater awakenings in every moment of time.

I watch the world disappear

To sense the world fleeting by, just care to waltz

To embrace the souls longing to move and flow along in graceful time… just dance…

To sense the subtlety of change in every dance of your breath.

To dance is to witness the ebb and flow of the tides of life and pass it on.

To dance is to feel fulfilment and contentment in nothingness all in one breath.

To dance is to enjoy the being as much as accept its fleeting nature.

I release my feelings

Feelings come and go and change is the only constant.

In the strength of release of feelings exists the freedom to transcend beyond and acknowledge the life in our being.

To release the feelings and not succumb to it is an art of living well.

To unlock the self from the prison of thoughts.

To be not a slave to feelings but learn to master it, to let it flow its course naturally.

I lead with my heart

Dancing from the heart,

Being grateful for the conscious awareness of the divinity of motion.

To move from the heart in all that one endeavours.

Breathing in the intention of the eternal awareness

towards collective consciousness of oneness is what leading and sensing grace is all about.

I tear down my walls …

Dance has taught me to liberate myself from the confines of limited existence.

From learning to move in space through the art of dance

In releasing and revelling, while sensing the freedom of space within and around me.

I stop feeling sad

Yes indeed! Although I personally make it a point to balance my emotions before conducting any workshop or working on dance in any way, be it writing about it or sharing my skills or dancing any form… yet there have been circumstances beyond which have been helped by simply dancing it out.

I lose the pain 

The happy hormones released in the body has a lot to do to manage the release of pain and by changing our body’s perception and response to all kinds of existing pain.

To dance is to acknowledge the letting go…

Of pain and allow joy in great measures. Often a dull headache nagging back pain or  even a tightness in the body improves and disappears after dance class and we are left feeling  refreshed and rejuvenated.

I let go I smile 

I remember instances of students coming into the dance class forgetting a smile and walking out wearing it so beautifully.
Guess to smile from the heart one needs to just dance and let go.😊

I don’t just dance I do so much more …

Indeed!

Whatever I choose to do,  the way of dance is pure bliss of a bless in my path guiding and shining the light for me. 

I hope to always choose to dance with life  with all of me, grateful for its gifted presence in every moment of now.

Musings on the man who taught me not only to dance to life but also everything above by being all this and more, by practising rather than preaching.

The Healing Touch

 hands-578917__340

Have you really touched someone today?

Have you been embraced with expansive love?

Have you felt like reaching out with all your heart?

Have you held another’s hand in your hand?

 

 

 

Great is the healing in a caring touch.

One handhold can lift a broken spirit.

One hug can heal another soul.

One step to reach out can tug at another’s heartstrings.

One touch of kindness can make all the difference.

 

Great is the healing in a caring touch.              

Both life and living can at times turn cold

When the children grow and empty their nests,

When life becomes too busy to be,

When relationships start to lose their meaning,

When tired body leaves one forlorn,

When thoughts seem to turn anxious,

 

When moments seem to drag,

When a sense of utter loneliness prevails,

Whenever there are feelings of helplessness.

Remember to reach out and hold a needy hand

As the power of healing is in a caring touch.

Wisdom of Change


 

Knowledge is one thing, understanding is quite another. Knowledge needs constant upgradation as it is never ever constant in the dimensions of time and space. The pathway to true wisdom is in acknowledgement of the possibilities of the new or the yet unknown.

Wisdom is in knowing beyond knowledge. 

To think universally and act globally; to begin with and see the structure in chaos and relate to the rhythms in nature;

To follow along the infinite beginnings all leading to the same place — ‘Your true self’;

In a knowing that allows you to exercise free will to be who you are;

And that thoughts are but a tool for the thinking, that allows you to process the integration of the self and the entire cosmos.

Self and beyond —  

Is there a distance and a difference?

If so, how far and of what?

Physical and social,

Mental and psychological

We may think immediately.

We may be set apart in time and space, yet we are so similar in vulnerabilities,

Persevering in hope and knowing the truth of mortality.

We breathe the same air, live in the same world.

We learn to see wisdom in change, in the interrelation, in the interdependence, in the interconnects.

So, in the wisdom of the wise, the wiser and the wisest

Is the understanding of the knowing behind the knowledge

To make sense beyond their meaning

And in the knowing, change begets wisdom

To accept from ordinary things can permeate untapped wisdom.

That the ‘ordinary’ possess nuggets of wisdom

In the knowing is the learning.

Then, there is no search, all is within —

The change, the changer, and the changing.

Change is inevitable, but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you and how you respond to the changes. 

Dare to dance with it! Dance with life!

Circles of Compassion

A Painting by Savvy Raj Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually entrenched in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength … therein lies the success of steering towards peace and humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread out will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of  Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

images

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …
