The Essence of the Art of Dance
To dance is to honour your body in every move.
To dance is to sense the freedom of the spirit.
To dance is being human to value all that you love.
To dance is to breathe in the soulful connects.
To dance is to tune in to every new moment.
To dance is to inspire another to unleash their shackles.
To dance is to meditate with creative intent.
To dance is to breathe in the wisdom of the creative spirit.

The path of the heart!
Dance the path of the heart
You are an energy field and possess unique energy. What is learning to dance going to do to you?
Dancing regularly opens blockages that were and channelizes your energy and brings your rational emotional and physical self to alignment gradually. Nothing is ever achieved in a hurry similarly the effects and impact movements can have to our mental makeup is a gradual process. Change albeit a certainty, it remains to be experienced, how focused learning and shifts of perspectives through training happen, and where and what the positive changes evolve into.
Often learning to dance is looked at very superficially as a means to entertainment. It depends on the individual desire for fulfilment, as much as the wants and needs to steer and shift the energy to focus.
An artistic expression of movements has the power to engage audiences as much as empower them with feelings from excitement to ecstasy bringing the emotions to surface and evolve the spirit.
There is then a greater responsibility in imparting holistic education in art. There is the need to clarify the content and channelize art with care as it has the capacity to mould the impressionable, pliable adaptable, receptive, flexible mind and body of an interested and eager learner.
The path of traversing through the heart of movements unfolds lessons to reach the connectedness between the spirit and soul. A journey in patience, with passionate perseverance.
Dance is truly a path of the heart.

Dance of the Sky
Came across my earlier painting capturing the dance of the Northern lights Aura Borealis at night from the seashore and it lead me to pen a few reflections on the dance of the sky…
Dance of the sky
What is it about the Polar lights
That compels me to travel some day
To take a chance and brave the cold?
Aurora Borealis
The dance of lights
Ethereal to behold
Waltzing colors
Enchanting vision
Of fluctuating solar winds
In the magnetosphere
That pull you to witness
The thrilling spectacle.
Of Optical emissions
Stirring magical emotions!

Importance Of Play
‘It’s a happy talent to know how to play’ Emerson
Importance of play
Playfulness creates a reason to live
It makes you alive to life
It keeps you agile and motivated
It is an all round fitness for all.
Age and gender no matter
Play is important to life and living.
It has many expressions
Whether it is wordplay
In humour and wit
Whether it is laughter that eases tension
Or good old moves from dancing in the free flow.
Play is a natural action
that creates well being
Play up to life.
Make life feel like play
Before life plays you!

On Caring
The motto …”Behave with others as you would want them behave with you ”is a great way to live life developing a reflective and compassionate attitude and is essential to evolving in the being. The very purpose of life’s experiences is to transform for the better, however our perspectives are often the manifest of our experiences…
A strong focus towards career and finances is no doubt important as well as necessary for life but extending beyond the self is about caring to see beyond the illusions of limited existence.
Every birth is a manifestation of hope love and care for life itself. To live denying it with overtly materialistic motives amounts to nothing at all … as in the end none can ever carry their hoardings and ferry it across. Materialistic life must give way to a more meaningful existence… that’s the way of life as it goes.
The most successful people on earth care about their journey than just the incentives…they enjoy their learning and sharing despite their obstacles because they look out to adding meaning to their lives.
As we respect life and value it enough to care for it , gradually there is the realization that we are never alone .. and that being self centered never works.
Remember…
Life is meant to be lived with love and care not just to exist.

Mysterious Manuscript
The Voynich manuscript is a famous medieval text of about 240 pages written in a mysterious language that so far has proven to be undecipherable. Some of the pages are missing, with around 240 remaining. The text is written from left to right, and most of the pages have illustrations or diagrams. Some pages are foldable sheets.
Although there are many attempts to decode the script it has been stumping cryptologists so far.
Some claims through algorithmic decoding have analyzed the language has similarities to Hebrew and even Mazatec. But there are no conclusive pieces of evidence.
The manuscript has been kept at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University since 1969. It’s named after Wilfrid Michael Voynich, the Polish book dealer who purchased it from a Jesuit library in Italy in 1912. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century, and it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance.
Like its contents, the history of ownership of the Voynich manuscript is contested and filled with some gaps. The codex belonged to Emperor Rudolph II of Germany (Holy Roman Emperor, 1576-1612), who purchased it for 600 gold ducats and believed that it was the work of Roger Bacon.
Likewise to this manuscript…
There are many mystical truths
That exists around us undecoded
Some lost in translations, undeciphered
Some beyond our understandings still.
The truth is right here
For us to figure out in time.

Interweaves
Like the interweaved veins on the leaf
Strength of the interconnects run deep.
Every life on earth is connected
Each is interdependent
Therein is its strength
Value the interconnects
Respect the strength of being.

Positive Energy
Every move you make
Alters energy in space
Creating new patterns
Attracting vibrations
Shifting perspectives.
In conscious awareness
Our positive gestures
Begin to give and receive
Balancing subtle currents
Influencing cosmic rhythms
Activating harmony fields
Increasing love hope and joySpreading peace and contentment.
Integrating elements
Imbuing divinity in motion.

Gift of intuition
Grateful to intuit.
For the answers tumble through you
The path breaks through in the trusting
Until the way becomes you.
A sense of intuition is a gift
We all have it within us
Sometimes it propels you to it gently.
At other times it compels you to conform.
A substantial force in subtlety of being.
It is our spirit guide that moves with us
Follows through in ways we cannot fathom
In a knowing (in the gut) of wisdom across lifelines beyond lifetimes.
What matters most is our tuning inward To our well of wisdom in the listening.
Thankful for the master guide within.
In deep gratitude for this gift in the journey of life.

Wisdom Of Movements
Your deepest presence is in every action.
Witness the evolving wisdom in movements
And flow from the heart and mind as one
In coordination and balance
Like the wings of birds
Like night and day
Like the ocean waves
Like the sun after the rain.
Watch the tuning in conformity.
Sense the inclusion in the expansions
Sense the profound wisdom in every move
Movements matter in all subtlety.

Age No Bar
To dance is to get in touch with yourself.
To dance is to express yout own sense of rhythm.
To dance is to move from all of your heart.
To dance is to connect with the inner child within.
To dance is so much more than the moves you do, it is to tune into your own being.
To dance is to explore and express the connect you feel within you.
Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.
Age is no bar to learn to dance !

Profound stories
Talk of profundity in brevity.
So much can be said in a few words.
Came across this very brief but thought provoking read and felt like sharing . Have interspersed them with a few relevant pictures.
8 micro short stories, with deep meanings!
(1) Those who had coins, enjoyed in the rain. Those who had notes, were busy looking for shelter.
(2) Man and God both met somewhere. Both exclaimed, “My creator.”
(3) He asked, are you a Hindu or Muslim? The response came, “I am hungry”!
(4) The fool didn’t know it was impossible. So he did it.
(5) “Wrong number,” Said a familiar voice.
(6) What if God asks you after you die, “So how was heaven?”
(7) They told me that to make her fall in love I had to make her laugh. But every time she laughs, I am the one who falls in love.”
(8) We don’t make friends anymore…. We Add them nowadays..
The whirling wisdom
In the gaze
Between nowhere and somewhere
Half opened eyes
Focussing within
Finding the sense of balance
In the inner recesses
Of the spirit and soul
Juxtaposed between
The art of the moves
Is the rhythm divine
That manifests the flow.
Subliming the Souls calling
Knowing the wisdom
Of the whirling moves
That centers
The mind spirit and body
All rolling into one
In the state of flow
A divinity in motion.
The truth by far
Is within us to find
Every truth unravelled
Conveys the wholeness
Of the harmonious flow
Each truth is sufficient
For the being to know.
