In the Spirit of Freedom…
May we always dance, the dance of independence and freedom.
May we tune ourselves to connect with joys in tandem.
May we always remember and value great souls lost in martyrdom.
May we continue to prosper and thrive.
May we acknowledge that the strength in the interdependence is never random.
May we always respect our roots and learn to follow our inner wisdom.
Happy Independence Day!
In the darkest hours
Stay strong in spirit
Sense the light within
Trust the light in you
To keep you hopeful
To see the light of dawn.

Take a moment in this now
Check out for yourself
Do you breathe deep or shallow?
Deep breathing eases you
Shallow breathing stresses you
If you breath reaches your navel
You are breathing deep
If your breath reaches the chest
You are breathing shallow.
Our fast paced world is stressful
Deep breathing helps destress.
The science of the breath
Is a dance of awareness
Of the subtlety of power
As much as its strength.
Your own breathing patterns
Changes the energy in & around u.
Your life force energy
Shifts and alters perspectives.
All is a matter of energy
What matters most is the energy
You choose to create.
And the intention behind it.
Start with your breath…
Take a deep breath, breathe well.

Came across a beautiful tree in my walk this morning…
Wondering of the lifetime experiences that trees live through
Of how many seasons it must have seen
Of how it must have survived through the storms
As well as enjoyed the beauty of springtines
Of the countless lives it could have generously sheltered
And continues to do so….
Strengthened by nature
Thriving in the surviving
Salute to the tree.

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?

The world needs universal love
Keep your stock of love unlimited
Let it flow freely without doubt
Let it be inclusive & expansive
Know it will find its path
Back to you in infinite measure
Know love is meant to be

Keep the flame burning bright
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope, feed the faith
For the day is not done

Morning Musings
How beautiful it would be
If good deeds prevailed in practice.
If altruistic ways can become a norm
A way of life and living
If healthy collaboration became a driving force.
Yet…
Any change is never easy.
To change anything
It has to permeate the psyche
Of the mind in acceptance.
Then there is transformation.
Nothing lasting happens by force
For force gives way to another mightier force in time
Trust time in patience & perseverance.
Everything happens in time.
Time shows the way
As time has all the answers.

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.

Evolution happens in the changes that are a precussor to transformation.
A conscious unshackling of patterns of thought brings forth new and diverse ways of thinking. Every now and then a diversity acknowledges new associations and breeds creativity.
A deliberate action that reaches out far and wide to step out of conventional thought patterns is never easy especially as most often humans like to feel safe and secure in comfort of knowing of a stability.
Change can be unsettling and startling for most…
To accept and acclamatize in the new shifts.
As humans much of our creativity is often boxed in association of concepts and experiences and their correlation.
To creates new spaces for light is to step up in the gamut of creativity there need to be, a dare into the unknown that explores dimensions beyond.
Are you ready for the unshackling?
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.

Whoever made the movie “Avatar” knew this. The mycelium or mychrysis is a fungus that spreads underground, creating a communication network between all types of plants, a kind of internet that allows them not only to communicate, but also to take care of themselves, protect themselves, eat, to stock up on the water.
And when a tree is cut down from the forest, the mycelium informs a huge number of trees in the forest that one of them is dying, and all the other trees, through the mycelium, start tending to the remaining trunk to try to save that life.
They feed it with water, they protect it, because this dying log is part of the forest family.
Everything has a language.
It is a universal language.
We learn to reconnect with this non-verbal language, realizing that we are all part of one.
We are neither above nor below.
We are like children who still have a lot to learn from our older brothers, from the trees and forests and most of all from our Mother Earth…
It’s just amazing!!!
Respect to our Nature
Respect to our Mother Earth

Strength of the Interconnects
Trees teach us much
Every life has many lessons to share
If we only we have time to spare…
There is much going on beneath the earth
Which we take for granted
Let’s take a moment to care
To understand the differences
Between one life to another
As well as to understand
That we are part of the same source
Life manifests its magic in each of us
We are meant to survive and thrive
We are meant reach out and live
In the strength of the interconnects.

Words are powerful and the power comes not from the meaning alone, but from the tonality of how it sounds when read alone or along with a group of other words. Said, read, or written or heard these words carry immense vibrations which can alter thoughts and perceptions.
As a writer… I have often thought about if the words I write, sounds alright.
Have you sensed what sounds your words carry?
Have you felt the impact it will have on the reader?
Have you got any feedback on the tone of your words?
Perhaps now, I need to ask my readers here…
What tone does my writing leave you with?
