Such a beautiful share…
Both the words and the vision
So beautifully in tune…
They speak so much with passion
Touching the core of the heart.
Indeed! What a conscious connection!

Seeing beyond
What makes the artist see beyond?
What makes the perspectives alter?
What makes dimensions change?
What makes them emote through art?
Perhaps the gift of art is in keenness to see beyond the normal.
To focus on the minutest details that others miss
To envision the way things can seem
To visualize what is invisible.
Perhaps it is the ability to delve
Into the heart of the matter.
Or is in the ability to appreciate the yet unknown.

Why empathy matters in offices?
A young newly appointed Human Resources manager in a company, when told about the companys plan to induct empathy-based training for the employees, questions the founder why to invest on people when they may not stick around, speaks much about the necessity for such training.
Her question was more about cutting cost incurred per employee, but the management was looking at a larger picture. If through these training humane interactions can become a norm than a chance happening, the overall retention of employees will cut the costs of hiring them.
The value of empathy as part of work culture across the world is spreading far and wide.
Many times a leader can show empathy in one situation but not consistently. An awareness of what empathetic behaviour can alter in conversations is worth knowing. In fact, every employee can benefit from life skills training which includes empathetic communication.
How can employees be taught Empathy as a life skill?
Tools of Empathy can be practised in all office settings. Management can take initiative in settings precedents to practice than preach. This ensures faster retention and greater scope of emulation.
Senior managers can adopt skill sets that are conducive to the implementation of empathy in the workplace.
1: Practising good listening skills ceates a feeling that they are being heard.
2: Empathy is about taking into consideration another’s point of view in a non-judgemental manner.
3: Giving time and attention to employees increases communication and productivity.
4: Mindfulness increases in the workplace as employees begin to be aware of each other. Strength and weaknesses are mutually balanced and supported in cooperation.
5: Helps in conflict resolutions and negotiations and trust-building and thereby improving teamwork and collaboration.
Enough evidence to show the difference empathy based trainings can bring to offices and how it creates a positive environment. It is time to adopt and build empathy driven work culture.
Is your office empathy driven as yet?

Gifts of life
Gifts of life
Love and wisdom
Are two profound gifts of life
With love life feels meaningful
With wisdom life feels purposeful
Between love and wisdom
Life moves on and evolves itself
Bringing forth emotions
Deeply entrenched in our psyche
All is part of life and living
Interconnects deeply interwoven
The Circle of life flows on
Whole and complete.

Heart & Mind
When the heart is willing the mind is opened.
When the mind is acknowledging, the heart is at ease.
All is a matter of tuning…
Between the heart and the mind.

Splash of Colours
Today I am sharing a small part of an abstract painting I created earlier.
It gives me a splash of colours whenever I want a bright pop of colors to jumpstart my day.
Art speaks volumes without words.
Art is healing & therapeutic at the same time.
Correct choice of colours make all the difference They can enhance moods
In moments of melancholy
In times of restlessness..
In times of stress they can soothe the frayed nerves.
Yet what works for one may not work for another….
As every person has a unique sense of colour.
Creating is the art of making art, work towards a purpose.
Creating is also the art of allowing the flow as much as channeling the flow.

On Speaking & Hearing
When you speak, the words are yours and the thoughts are sent outwards, so choose your words…
When you hear, the words are others and thoughts are inwards, so think positively!

Let Go…
Learn to live for this moment.
Do not take the residue with u.
Let it pass, You just carry on.
Another moment is there to live and let go.
The residue comes with us as happy and sad memories of the past and most of our life we dwell and chew on them and act accordingly.
Observe life with detachment, with the understanding that nothing is permanent.
Change is the nature of the universe, so that the cycle continues.
The atoms in the whole universe keep on changing, what you experience is also gone along with that.
Then why burden the self with all the memories, just let it go.
Feel and experience the new atoms with each changing moment.
Feel light as there is no burden You are carrying.
The more you carry, the more dense and tense you become.
Leave it.
Lighter you become and it will help you to see the light of liberation.

Seeing beyond
Beautiful thoughts make the person beautiful!
Spare a thought in consideration.
Whenever we are able to see beyond the visible characteristics and understand the reason why a person behaves the way they do, we are attuning ourselves to the divinity in and around us…
Harmony beckons.
PEACE, JOY AND ABUNDANCE.
