Knocks of wisdom

When life happens

Wisdom knocks in time

Creating pathway for clarity.

Wisdom is knowing…

When to start knocking

When the stop knocking

And when to let time flow.

For time creates new pathways.

Like a river that flows

Besides and beyond the rock.

Body wisdom

Your energy is yours to protect

Shield it with love and forgiveness

Allow happy thoughts

Let go the unnecessary frictions

If you find yourself  too exhausted  by anothers energy

Too consumed in every interaction…

Where you feel depleted and worn out

May be it is time to move away  and balance your energy

Most of all listen to your body…

How do you feel after any interaction with someone

Energetic  or depleted

The signs are there for a reason

Choose your path well

Think well. Do well. Be well.

Our type?

Who is our type?

Why does our brain become  immediately choosy, including some as ours and excluding some as others?

What makes some our type?

When we meet and connect with a new face, what is it that  immediately draws or repels?

Is there more to it, than first impressions, communication  skills or body language?

Does our brain genetically  program itself to select on auto pilot?

For we often classify and categorize subconsciously as a way of choices we make.

Who is our tribe?
Who is outside ?
We are hardwired
With the safety metric.

Our mirror neurons simulate
emotional states of being
in others we meet.

When inner rhythm sense  resonance
there is a instant vibe
aligning us in a circle of unsaid understanding.

Such pattern recognition is primitive,
a tool for survival
for flagging safe and unsafe connection.

A lot happens in a split second …
A combination of sorting
Processing the past connects
Sensing and interpreting
Gut feeling & intuition
Simplifying complex somatic movements markers.
In recognizing the effortless  ease and comfort 
Or the discord that creates repulsion.

Categorizing a stranger
Is a matter of survival…

Would u agree?

A learning mind

A true learners mind never ages

For  they have the curiosity of a child

A blank slate where learning  can be added

An earnestness in exploration

A trustful disposition

An open mind that allows  expansion…

And most of all a readiness to learn 

To imbibe knowledge and update the self.

When the mind is ready

The understanding happens

Space for growth

Let there spaces in between

Room for improvement

For growth needs it

Personal or professional

Breathe in the pause

To ponder a while

To sense the potential

To emerge from ideas 

Creating possibilities.

I value the necessity of space

Between thoughts, between words,

Else

It starts feeling a little to crowded.

Creating the fog of density

Creating space creates clarity.

How much do you value your need for space?

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.

Sustaining Peace

Is Sustained Peace Possible

A lack of tolerance, inequality, indignity, racial discrimination, body shaming, gender bias, atrocities on women ,child safety issues as much the forest fires and global warming and not to forget the threats of terror,war and more.

We are simply making it more difficult to live in this planet with each other by our egoplays, taking one another and our world for granted and need for domination without a consideration of the consequences of our actions.

Why can’t we coexist in peace and in strength of unity in this beautiful ball of blue?

After all it is the only one world we have.

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.


Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.


Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

Creating Resilience

Resilience is developed in time.

In every fall.

In every blow

In every painful experience.

The power rests with you to work on yourself.

Resilience is about nurturing  what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling  the situation at hand.

Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary  moments that you have with you.

Resilience is being able to smile from the heart,  knowing your circumstances dont define you.

In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge  from it stronger.

While resilience is in learning from experiences and  strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…

Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking  like the mighty oak tree,

Resilience is creating yourself  in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.

Resilience means, you are very much present and it means  you are evolving from your experiences for the better.

In times of being resilience

You become the master of your life.

You steer on in faith

no matter the rudder is way off.

Knowing  you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.

Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing  that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives

You are like an artist creating  something  from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience  results are awaiting you in trust & time.

Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.

What is resilience to you?

When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?

Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

The Power of Calm

There is charisma in calm

It’s the power of calm

In life’s highs and lows.

In calm lies confidence

Invoking assurance

Being calm in a conversation

Evokes the energy of stillness

Emits vibrancy devoid of agitation.

In the calm there is depth of  awareness

In the center of calm

Is potential  to assimilate

No matter the chaos

You find equilibrium.

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

What does calm feel like to you in this now?

What is the distance  between you and your sense of calm?

Where & how do you think you can find your calm?

The morning moments

My morning  moments have the preciousness of calm for me.I choose dawn to intend the calm for the day ahead. In the quiet moments of dawn where the world is still sleeping, I find my creative state of flow. Although I have been able to connect  with my calm through the day, the vibes of this part of the day resonate so much. The early morning  sets the tone of the day for me.

How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Pockets of peace

Pockets of peace

Are powerful healers

That you can invoke

Anytime,  anywhere.

Identify your pockets of peace

In a day, times that feel peaceful

Is it early morning, noon

Or is it evening or night?

What places makes you feel at ease?

Mountains, oceans or forests

Or do you enjoy a quiet open space…

Like looking at the vast blue sky,

Or the twinkling stars at night.

Do you breathe easy in silence,

Or do you feel lonely for some company?

Does, being with animals birds and nature

Feel peaceful to you?

Alone or with company,

Find your pockets of peace

And sense the connection

Whenever & wherever.

Let’s nurture nature

Every bit of matter
In this now is integral
To the whole of existence
Every man made change
Changes our world
In more ways than one
For subtle shifts of energy
Can create massive  environmental phenomena
Altering the course of future.
Isn’t it time to recognize
The misses
Alter the errors
And pave the way
For a more responsible
Coexistence
Life is a gift
Let’s nurture nature.

Even a single step matters …

Let’s start with even one of  the three things we all can easily do…

1. Grow native plants  that survive and  thrive easily and create an ecosystem that will improve the biodiversity.

2. Save water  recycle waste water lets treat every drop of water as precious.

3. Water plants with water used for washing vegetables rice or lentils.
Then not a single drop of water will be wasted .

Lines not walls

Clear lines
Not walls that break
But gates that define
Your edges in space
And anothers beginnings.

Setting a boundary
Creates safety & value
And is respectful to one another.

Be it your time & energy
Or for mental stability
Protecting personal space
Creates a sense of peace. 

Truth is relationships are healthier in the long run with clear lines that protect your own unique sense of space, privacy & comfort levels.

In professional relationships often the fear of conflicts, or being misunderstood as unempathetic,  can make people skip setting them early on only to find themselves challenged.

Actually, setting healthy boundaries is an act of clarity…

What do you think?

PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living  around me.  I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every  decade… moreover  some words I have described may be experienced earlier  or later.

So to each their own…
