Everything Connects

This morning a refreshing conversation with my mother triggered a series of thoughts on different directions in Hindu Scriptures.

Usually there are eight directions depicted in any compass.

She shared how there are ten mentioned directions in  the Hindu scriptures and named each of  them.  Besides the four cardinal and four ordinal directions it’s interesting to note the two additional directions are Urdhva the  highest point symbolizes by creator (Brahma) Zenith and Adhah  the opposite represented by (Vishnu) the preserver, which call the Nadir.

It was intriguing to note how these preordained guardians of our galaxies play a significant role in Astrology and Cosmology with  insights on how everything connects in life and living.

I started researching further trying to understand more. I came across this interesting share…

Read

‘It’s quite intriguing to note how much effort our ancestors put into demystifying the elements of nature & their impact on us,’

I highlighted this line in the above informative article, because the more you learn of this vast ocean of scriptures you realise there is another horizon of understanding that beckons. 

But one thing leads to another…

And that’s how the path of learning grows. And everything connects….

Patterns of Oneness

Emerging patterns of nature are captivating indeed. For instance, be it waves or stripes or spirals, and more, nature patterns itself in synchrony.

In the waves of the ocean and the sand dunes, ripples in the pond, in the striking stripes of a zebra and the striped Zebra plant or even the striped flowers, their formation at the atomic and molecular levels may have a reason purpose in nature.

We as humans, find inspiration in nature and we are drawn to recognising these emerging patterns. It reminds us of the bigger picture, of the Oneness in the interconnects in life and living.

Breath well

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.

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.

Salute to Trees

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.

You

No one but you

Knows your true self

Empower your self

Create your life

Being yourself.

Be kinder, be connected

With yourself.

Allow to express your self.

Your truths in your voice

Makes you feel heard

Your voice with your words

Makes you understand

You are more than enough

To sense the light in you

Find out for yourself

With all of you

Who you truly are.

The Power Of Peace

Peace is a force of nature

Creating strength within you

To face life with a calm presence

Unrattled and focused in approach

When peace flows in you

A river of joy flows through you

Cultivating compassion

And connection to all of nature.

In the peace of mind and heart

The spirit is at ease

It is gentle in its presence

Yet creates nerves of steel

Peace dares to be at ease.

In the journey through life.

Such is the power of peace.

Puzzles fit in Patience

The journey of creativity
Flourishes in the flow
Out of passionate awareness
Of the spaces between
Light to dark & dark to light.
For in betwixt these hours
Ideas birth & creativity grows.
In passionate perseverance
Puzzles fit in patience.

Colours of the sky

Sharing my verses that was inspired by vivid thoughts on Oneness.

Colours of the spirit
Pouring from  the heart
Sensing the feelings
Evoking the emotions…

If every colour in the sky
Rained down on earth
If every colour of the rainbow
Poured itself out from the cup of life
Colouring the planet  in vibrance
The world may see these very colours
In the deepest core of the earth.
For as is above so is below…

Nature is abundant in its flow
In the river of time
Trust nature to paint in vividity
Splashing on the canvas of the earth
Painting  patterns in the fluidity…

The sky and land
The mind and body
The spirit and the soul
Aligning in the Oneness of the flow.

Time has all the answers

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.

What is your state of mind today?

What is your state of mind today ?

Are you feeling expansive and inclusive

Then it’s a positive phase of growth mindset

And if you are feeling empty and mindless

Then perhaps you need space and & time to rebalance yourself.

If you feeling extremely creative and going out of the box in your thoughts and associations…

Then perhaps there is an exploration of the mind in expansiveness.

Ifr you are feeling small and narrow in thoughts

Perhaps there is introspection going on for a while

You need to simply rethink to understand your place in the big picture.

If you are feeling indifferent and dull

Then perhaps you need to sense some energy and enthusiasm in your life as you are exhausted or being absent minded.

If you are being very allowing and receptive to the idea of change, and new ways of transformation then you are in an open minded stage.

It is truly interesting  to see & sense the interconnects of the body, mind and spirit of being.

Strength of Interconnects

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

This above forward is Courtesy – Krasi/Art.

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.
