Gift of this now

This now is full of infinite possibilities

For every day is replete with potential

Whatever the path you take

Your life’s moments are a gift

You are meant to sense

So care to take a moment

To acknowledge the gifts

Of this moment as it is

See how everything connects

To every thing else.

And if you truly wish

You can create more moments

Of joy and light in & around u

Start simply by a practice

Of acknowledging this moment in this now..

Make today count!

A moment of gratitude

In every moment of Gratitude

There is a shift in perspective

Smile

A beautiful reminder worth seeing every day…

The truth is in shifting perspective with movements

The emotion you feel within changes everything

So if you begin to work on positive shaping

Of your thoughts with a simple smile

Then the smile begins to emanate from the heart

The way you see your life changes for the better

Keep smiling from the heart ❤️

On Nurturing

It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday  with kind deeds
Nourish the roots  with care  Enrich it with  love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow

Now the question  is what are you nurturing  in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?

Balancing Life

No matter how busy you think you are

There is always space to learn and understand more

Space to grow and evolve

And it all starts with a little shift in perspective.

A little rebalancing from the way things are…

Work & life

It often amazes me to see the adulation that certain people have for being the first to arrive and last to leave their workplace. I wonder if anyone has cared to check how their families feel about this?

Many on the so called respected and admired list, are people who are workaholics, burning out by the minute.

They are there, working beyond the call of duty perhaps out of personal passion, sense of ownership and responsibility or even perhaps because they feel they can’t afford to fail, may be even because it gives them an edge of pride to be known as some one who is committed.

However life is about balance and simply put, more of one leads to less of another. The trick is the wisdom of balance and steering clear of extremes.

To every workaholic out there here are few reflections…

☆Avoid stretching yourself too thin.You are already on razors edge and you are hurting one part of your life, if you continue to do what you do. Reclaim your life. Find other passions and take care of your health. Stay safe than sorry.

☆Your personal life is at stake and is also your responsibility.

☆Bringing home the money and comforts is just one half of the whole. Your family is best nurtured by your loving presence in their lives.

☆Your absence at home and family/ social affairs is missed at first and then adapted with along the way to a point of being indifferent to your presence in time. Because you are never there for them.

☆ At a certain point in life, lack of care and connection begins to show and no amount of money can be valued over time .

☆Money cannot buy love they say and it certainly becomes true, as people begin to use you for your money and you will never feel fulfilled and content after spending it.

☆Everything around you becomes materialistic to the point of manipulation and its your own doing as you threw in the money and comforts where ever and whenever your time was required or requested.

☆Relationships become meaningless without a sense of togetherness. Missing out time with another in the excuse of being busy for years will take a toll on personal life. People will get used to you not being around for them and then expecting them to be there for you when you need them is a selfish ask.

☆Your children will be affected by your continued absence . Your presence in their growing years is very important for their holistic well being. Your partner will be angry or isolated with you. And expecting things to be different as you continue your ways is not going to change anything.

☆However in recognizing the signs of workaholic and your choosing to balance different aspects of your life will start making a meaningful difference.

☆For starters acknowledge your value for your time and energy.

☆Speaking of your energy , if you have spent most of your day at work , how will you find yourself able to give more of you as you have exhausted yourself

☆Recognize where it’s slipping away and start to chalk out a balancing plan. It can transform your life and those around you.

☆Find moments that are solely yours and use it for your personal development.

☆Your career is only one part of your life. It helps you sustain your life but the relationships you have nourishes you. Without it you have no true sense of purpose.

☆If you are one of those who are thinking of grabbing opportunities and climbing the corporate ladder acknowledge that you may possibly often have an unsatisfactory family relationship at the end of it all.

☆Your passion for your work may begin to affect your health watch out early signs of strain and stress and care to take help .

Thankfully today the world is more aware of work week and many countries are Consciously doing something about it. How it affects productivity in time will be seen and how much it could contribute to work life balance, but it definitely is time reclaimed for family.

The truth is its about prioritization of what’s important for well-being in life. Personal and professional lives both are important and have demands that need your time. So balance is the key.

On flexibility

An interesting epic story with profound thoughts

“Tongue in Teeth……”

Strolling through the streets of Lanka at night, Hanuman was taken aback when he heard the chants of Sriram coming from a home.

They were not loud but whispers through the windows.

Hanuman wondered who could be chanting my Lord’s name in the city ruled by Ravan.

The house had a cluster of Tulsi plants outside and the walls had signs of Sri Hari.

Just then a man opened the front door and came out chanting the Holy Name.

The Sky was Starlit and it was couple of hours before Dawn.

The man offered water to the Tulsi plants, while performing a Circumbulation.

Hanuman hopped and stood before him, folding his hands.

The man introduced himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravan.

Hanuman asked

“It baffles me: you are a devotee and a Noble Soul.

How on Earth you live among the Demons? “

Vibhishan smiled and said

“Just as the tongue lives in the mouth with thirty two teeth biting and grinding, around it, not only does the tongue remain untouched, it enjoys all the taste”.

The very food that sits and rolls on the tongue is chewed to a pulp by the teeth and yet this snaky little thing escapes unscathed.

Only time it is hurt is when we have a lapse of mindfulness.

Why?

Philosophically the chief difference is, flexibility.

The tongue’s flexibility is the key to its longevity.

That’s why it gets the taste while the teeth get Root canals and Cavities

They fall too or pulled out!.

But no one loses their tongue.

The tongue teaches…….

Others may grind and bite but you can still enjoy life if you are flexible.

Everything will hurt less, bother less if we loosen up a bit.. then an Avalanche of Peace and Joy is triggered.

If you want lasting Peace and Joy, learn from your tongue and live like it. Befriend it. Tame it. It has a great bearing on your relationship.

Gifts of feelings

In the myriad moments
And multitude of experiences
In life and living.

There is so much going on
Betwixt and between us all.
So much to live and care for…

Often unsaid words
& repressed feelings
Are brimming in the sensing

Emotions have their way
Of expressing themselves
At inopportune moments.

But if we choose to take time
We can channel our thoughts
In mindful awareness.

Perhaps our emotions
Can be our precious gift
To sense and balance the self.

We are blessed with all
That we need from nature
Let’s acknowledge our gifts.

The way ahead

In every now

Is a choice

To enhance life

Within and around you

Whatever path you take

But how you live your life

What you feel in the living

What you choose to notice

What you are listening

And what you understand

From it all defines the now

And charts the way ahead.

Self-management

Self care

Is never selfish

In fact it’s otherwise

It is self- management.

For self care makes it easier

For you are self disciplined

Self supportive,and self reliant

To make yourself self efficient

Self care is a much needed management lesson

For it is an effort in aspiration to thrive than just survive

Rooted in increasing self awareness

Of the need to build self resilience and self worth.

So know your life is gift

Your energy is unique to you.

As you go about your day

Care to listen to your body

Make time to heal and recover

Self care is an important life long practice

Value your health & care for balance

In mind, body & spirit.

It pays rich dividends.

Take time out for yourself

Find ways to nurture your now

You are better off starting early.

Soul speaks

Your soul speaks

To you in many ways

Call it intuition

Your second brain

Or your gut feeling

Source coder’s intelligence

Imprints in every cell

Of your being.

For your survival

You are born with it

Listen when it speaks

You can trust it.

When Art Speaks…

Allowing the art to speak and acknowledging its flow is of essence, to sense and enjoy the art itself.

Learning to dance & dancing socially comes along with many lessons and learnings…

In any partner dancing its important to respond than simply react to the movement direction from the partner in the flow.

The cultivation of the ability of any dancers acknowledgement & appreciation of their dance partner or other dancers, differences in movement speed or artistry not merely as tolerable, brings on the required humility and grace in the dance.

This is in itself the essence of a rich and rewarding social dancing experience.

Mystical You

Photo by Rakicevic Nenad on Pexels.com

An entire universe exists in you, and your own sense of connection  and resonances in life and  living is the best example of  the infinite potential of being .

Your thoughts and imagination  can dissolve the dimensions  and wander through the so called boundaries to explore the mystical beyond.
