How can we be more spiritually aware?
Allocating time for a daily practice of breath awareness through meditation
Bringing forth the value of Love in our relationships.
Sensing the strength of the interconnects.
Through cultivation of Gratitude,
Along with a practice of Empathy, which also aids in the development of emotional intelligence…
All these are stepping stones towards spirituality.
Savvy
Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.
Savvy
A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted. The flower just continues to be its glorious self: elegant, graceful, and magnificent.
Our Mother Nature has provided us with these immeasurably valuable teachers that blossom despite their short lifespan, stars that continue to shine even if we fail to stare at them, and trees that don’t take it personally if we never bow down in gratitude for the oxygen they provide.
We also have an incredible and unlimited capacity to love, but the question is: Can we do it like a flower? Without needing to be admired, adored, or even noticed? Can we open our hearts completely to give, forgive, celebrate, and joyfully live our lives without hesitation or need for reciprocity?
It seems like sometimes we go beyond taking things personally and are noticeably deflated when unappreciated. In fact, devastated, we wilt in sorrow and then attempt to guard ourselves by withholding, using all sorts of protections and defenses. We get hurt (even angry) if our boss fails to recognize an astonishing feat, if a lover pulls their hand away, or when a friend forgets our birthday. Can you imagine a flower copping an attitude for not being praised, or the moon dimming its glow because we’re too self-absorbed to notice it more often?
Make an effort to shine NO MATTER WHAT, to love unconditionally, and to be a kind and gentle soul (even when nobody is watching).
And, if you’re so inclined, hug the next tree you see and say, “Thank you!”
~ Excerpt from Buddhist Boot Camp by Timber Hawkeye
Beauty is a very subjective term inspite of all the objectification that goes on in the name of beauty.
Beautiful you
Every age has a charm
Of its own doing
Every life is beautiful
In its own way!
What to speak of a lifetime?

Think One positive thought
In an array of thoughts
Imagine it and it manifests
And every time you do
Know you are creating joy
Within and around you.
Savvy
What is life without each other?
We are bonded in a connection
By infinite fibers between us
Both visible & invisible
At times tangible in the feeling
Some times palpable in the sensing
But it takes an acknowledgement
Of the beauty of us beyond the I.

We are what we are
With the possibilities for evolution
Inside us all.
And yet each arrives at their own time
To the journey meant for them
To carve a path that they are meant to.
Life never claims to be fair
Life is as is
It is within us to know
What to hold on to hone, or set free
For nature is always in flow
And true nature always finds its way.
Savvy
How to see the good
When bad is doing the round
To bring the good in focus
Perhaps you need to search
For it in their way of being
In the visible & hidden nature
There is much that happens
In the circumstances
And much that goes invisible
For it cannot be expressed
For it is seen as a weakness
To be vulnerable
To be sensitive & emote
Are qualities that are negated
For it makes ones life difficult
But life has many shades
The very weakness for one
Can be a strength for another
It’s all in the way we see it.
Every life is precious
With many gifts of nature
It is in us to acknowledge.
Savvy
In an increasing uncertainty in a volatile times, it is important to work from strengths than weaknesses and embrace the flexibility of approach.
Work on self-improvement by understanding your personality, your skills, and responsibilities. Be open to feedback and ideas and avoid bracketing yourself into one type of person, so you can stretch yourself and be able to adapt to whatever the circumstances. This way, you can resolve a broader spectrum of situational challenges without self limiting beliefs blocks.
Become a competent leader who knows to surf through the tides of change and stay afloat.
Remember there is infinite power in possibilities in you
All it needs to begin with is the first step.
Savvy
Spirit of life and living
Makes the soul
Find purpose & meaning
Treat the body as a temple
Make friends with your mind
Allow the body & mind to coexist
Let them be harmonious
The life feels just right…
To be really healthy and truly well all that is required is that we not only treat our body right, but our mind and soul too.
Savvy
Writing every day
Unplugs the steam
Off everyday stress
Unleashes the flavours
Of life in the experiencing
Through thoughts & words
Flowing unbridled
Inked in the thinking through
Linked in the freeverses
Interweaved in the living.
Savvy
In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
In collaboration & cooperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
There is unity in diversity
As respect becomes culture.
Trust becomes the way.
Savvy Raj
There is so much more to thankfulness
Your mind body and spirit
Are integrated in the emotions
Your life becomes more abundant
Your health improves along the way
For you hold not expression or suppress feelings
You appreciate what needs to be appreciated
You create circles of light hope and joy in thankfulness.
Make sure to add yourself in your list of thankfulness.
