Your life matters in every moment.
Life is a precious gift!
A recent spate of connects and requests from my old students to hold a workshop for them got me thinking of what is it that makes sense of what truly matters. Almost most of them were and are middle-aged and above and seem to be in the same boat.
All of them feeling loneliness creeping through somewhere into their lives in spite of having family and friends and an active social life and network.
Many of them are seeking a purpose in their life … unknowingly searching for a sense of meaning. It has become common for people around 40s to begin a second innings of soulful searching of that spirit that someway has deviated and lost its way.
In the throes of bustling family life and living, new meaning seems hard to find but around middle age, children take care of themselves the spouses find more time to pursue that which they have never done before or found time to do. In such times there is scope to do so much more than before. The question then is how to fine balance life well and achieve all that you set out to.
Here are a few tips on living well and achieving a work-life balance:
If you find yourself feeling stuck and stagnant in your present condition maybe in your relationships be sure to take some time to find solutions creatively.
- Watch out for signs of loneliness or hopelessness if so make sure to replace negative thoughts with positive reflections and thoughts
- Use this time to find new outlets of creativity within you like maybe find your new interest in hobbies art culture in your environment
- Try to spend time making new friends increasing your social circle
- Try to take time out to read solve puzzles for they help in bettering your neural pathways. Every new thing you learn as you grow, your brain re-activates and channels certain parts of your dormant brain cells.
- Avoid procrastinating and face your fears and problems headlong one by one the trick is to not try to do too much at one time but to be open to challenges and yet find time to do concentrate on the thing you are involved at that moment.
- Make sure that you have small goals that you have in mind and work towards fulfilling it.
- Respect the life you have and appreciate the moments for what it is.
- Work on yourself by being grateful, nurture relationships and friendships and spend some time caring and sharing this lays the foundation for a more fulfilling life.
- If you’re looking for things to do that can make a difference to your personal self as well as feeling productive consider volunteering. A number of organisations require genuine help from people who are having the time to share and mentor.
- Use your knowledge to make this world a better place teaching youngsters basic life skills or even taking lessons for them can change your life in dramatic ways
- Try to find places where you can volunteer your time and resources constructively. The take-back you will have is the undeniable joy.
- Spend time nurturing and caring for yourself and also do not hesitate to take advice from those who have done it so before and change your life, swim the tide through to positive ways.
- All is a matter of choices we make and the positive intentions that we choose to carry.

The handshake
The handshake
The world betwixt and between
You and me are united in a handshake
An extension of hand is a reaching
Conveying a power in the vulnerability
Accepting the reached out hand is readiness
To blend in thoughts and amalgamate the differences.
Both a beautiful deed in summation
In acknowledgement and acceptance
Lies the evolution of peace and sanity
Without weapons of war, and in clarity.
In union of thoughts is the confluence
In wisdom of the heart and maturity of the mind.
Of knowing the futility of factions
And sensing the value of peace and goodwill .
Global need of times today
Is not seperation but unity in diversity.
A handshake is a step towards in forwarding
The value of the strength in the interconnects.
Together we are strong to surmount every storm.
Earth needs to consolidate and come together
A hand shake today can lead the way!
Good to see a handshake that warms the soul.
No idea of its repercussions in regression.
But two hands linking together is always a sight to behold.
Faith is…
Faith is all there is
For without faith nothing is!
Savvy
A few more reflections…
When faith speaks it helps to listen
For faith conveys the depth of knowing
In simplest of ways.
Call it a belief in trust
Call it a feeling in the gut!
Call it a sense of intuition.
All a certain knowing in the sensing!

Life is…
Had written these following verses to a dear friend while discussing the spirit of life and living … Thought I could share it here.

Our world needs us!
Positive change begins with us.
Every living being is making a difference to the environment in every moment. The question is how and in what way can it become sustainable.
Like the Great Barrier Reef, once the coral reefs are affected there the entire ecosystem stops thriving, and less fresh water will flow through the lakes…
Closer home the topography of the Great Himalayas are changing as well.
With melting ice-caps, the collapse of vegetation and wildlife, and violent surges of hurricanes droughts and frequent wildfires are all concerns for our world.
And there is really not much difference in the apathy that is happening in the name of sustaining the future… only much similarity in the situation of corruption and deceit through politics of governing people whatever the part of the world we are living in.
What we can do for our Sustainability:
Besides the regular ‘Reuse, Recycle and Reduce’ advice that comes to mind immediately I am sharing a post I chanced upon recently https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/stopglobalwarming.php
I realise I am perhaps contributing in my little way by ‘Spreading Awareness'(Tip 35 on the list ) on the need for Environmental Sustainability … but I found a lot of the tips here pretty much adaptable and relevant to us as an individual …
For the true change starts from each of us.

One Moment
Sensing Oneness
A moment of stillness
A frame of reference
For centering the being
In the infinite fractals circling
A moment in witness
Sensing the multiverse
All in the sweet silence of being
In the oneness that occurs…
In the infinite possibilities
Of life and living
Take a moment with oneself
To sense the oneness with the self

Being a Witness…
The unabashed beauty of this world is but an illusion.
Marking time in the constancy of change.
Whatever good is in this moment is a gift of now
To wonder in awe and receive in gratitude…
And when reality bites as the seasons change.
It is in us to learn to witness without want but with understanding and patience.
As all is in the turning of time.
The appearance to disappearance of beauty and the the bounties is but an illusion.
What is today beautiful can be barren tomorrow in the resurgence
Making space for new life to emerge for life continues beyond, in the grand plan of things
In hope, trust and belief of a beautiful morrow…
Follow the dictates of nurture.
Covet not what is not yours.
Be grateful and express gratitude for life.
And value the beauty of this now!
So much intricacy in the evolving artistry.
So much wisdom in the moment to imbibe.
So many lessons in nature to nurture.
Seek to live learning and growing.
Striving to be in a witness mode.
Sense and be one with the flow
For you are the flow!
Savvy
Whatever there is in this ever changing world, all that is enveloped by the Lord.
With this understanding renounce and enjoy ( without owning) what is due to u .
Do not covet for the wealth of other. ( Ishavasya Upanishad 1)
So much wisdom in these lines…

Enjoy the dance!
Learning to dance is a discovery

Care to enjoy the journey!

Tryst with truth…
The Confusion
Making sense of it all
From maya to magic
From dream to reality
From action to inaction
From silence to chaos
From dissolution to a solution.
From closure again to disclosure
Is it all an appearance, a facade
This journey of searching reality
In the self-discovery.
The Contention… on Creativity
What a world we live in
All is in a word called Maya …
The world is but an illusion…
A make-believe of our senses.
Then in such a make-believe world
All logic all reasoning all science all knowledge
maybe after all at best…
A search to understand the root of creation.
Of the illusion of you and me.
Of nothing and everything.
The connection… in the creativity
As in the unlearning and learning of knowledge through experiences in life and living every individual sparks new pathways of behaviour in association and application. We are enriched in the structuring which we can call as a stillness for comprehension, a pause for reflection a calmness in contemplation so that we are propelled to unique expression in the assimilation.
No two thoughts are exactly alike but there is always a field of energy we radiate and our thoughts carry the vibrational frequency of the energy in the movement. And that is what can be directed distilled denatured decimated dissolved and drawn from for health and healing.
Savvy
Experience or lack of it can be a root cause of variations and alterations of behaviour. But while boundaries may be reminding of a journey having a destination, it is the openness that reflects the never-ending source of creativity and its possibility.
The Continuation…
So as we dance through the apparition of appearances
Of assumptions in the amalgamation.
All that is real may be an illusion
All that we believe to be is perhaps real.
And our tryst with the truth…
Continues…

Spruce Up Your Work Space : Essential Tips
Art of Management: Managing WorkSpaces
A Few Essential Tips to Spruce Up Your Work Space.
If you are already a part of the growing population of the work from home employees, there is a high amount of organisational skills that you may already possess. Yet in the rut of routine the chances of feeling weary and disillusioned the dip in productivity increases alarmingly.
Are you feeling overwhelmed stressed and frustrated take a moment to stop and look at your space right now what you feel do you think it is cluttered and chaotic or needs a bit of sprucing up?
Do you think that your work life is a little out of control and maybe having a more manageable and productive space to work from can make all the difference to you right now?
Then maybe it is time to simplify your work area and enjoy life working from home.. here are a few tips to start you up!
Take a few pictures of the work area :
When you need perspective it often helps if you can use your camera to take a shot of your workspace to see the amount of clutter for yourself. There may be many unwanted items which are lying unused for a long time unnoticed.
De-clutter to essentials:
Check whether you are using the things laid out on your desk regularly and if not try to remove them away from your desk make sure only the essentials are placed on the desk.
If there is just too many things on your desk set a priority on what stays. Start from your desk space take a look at the clutter and if there are just too many things around to distract you try to use the principle of 1 in 1 out. So for every item that you have chosen to keep on the desk make sure to discard one out.
Get a fresh perspective :
Often it is very difficult to notice and see the clutter in our working spaces by ourselves in the pace of monotony that we are caught in.So how about inviting a few close friends over to your home… and try to take stock of their opinions and acknowledge their perspectives as you see it through their eyes.
Create an ambience that is suitable for your line of work when you start throwing away the unwanted items and minimize. You will feel lighter and your room opens up.
Setting time to de-clutter: You can try to clear your desk area as you finish your work every evening for it takes maybe about 5 to 10 minutes to straighten things up you will end up having a clean desk every morning.
Storage matters:
It is important to find a space for everything in your work area, if you have trouble in keeping things in place you will find a desk all the more cluttered and difficulty in locating things. Use the idea of small storage trays or store away the least used items in closed drawers. You can try to keep your work area clean by using magnets to mount supplies and using coloured labels as well
Extra storage options:
If you find you have too many things on your desk which don’t fit it is time to think of extra storage. In a small room, you can make space under your desk by raising the monitor a level up and making sure to use your space wisely by using by enlarging your workspace vertically and by using every inch of the space you have to your advantage.
Remember the sooner you start getting organised the better you feel at work.
Simplify work area live life well!.
Moderation is the key:
Every once in a while we all need a bit of serious organisation time but it is important to not try to overdo it for it can be a huge detriment to being productive. For sometimes there is the case of delight in disorder for some. So choose your own way to what stays and what goes!
