Power of one candle to light the darkness
Power of one tree to give shade
Power in one smile to change the mood
Power of one hand to feed the hungry
Power of one kind word to change hearts
Power of one heart to ignite hope in the world
Power of one touch to lift the soul
Just one heartfelt move… makes all the difference!
If only we could realize how valuable it is to be appreciated and supported .
If we could only know how important it is to feel inclusive in our diverse ways.
We must understand that love and kindness is the only way besides adopting a non-judgmental approach.
We must realise how vulnerable life is, but beyond feeling victimized and create further suffering due to negative thoughts
We need to respond with empathy, show unity through kindness and compassionate deeds.
The power of kindness is truly infinite.
KINDNESS IS THE PRAYER IN ACTION.

A life well lived
Includes experiences
That makes us who we are.
We are not set in stone
Or cast in iron that cannot mould
Our emotional being cannot be suppressed
We are life living breathing and exploring possibilities.
Our infinite ways of expressions is unique to our being
We surf the tides of changes and flow
And we learn as we go.

This is heartfelt share of a beautiful story forward .
Sometimes while performing some duties, does such a thought come to mind that why should I do this work, what’s in it for me?
Contact Lenses
A true story!
Brenda was about halfway to the top of the huge granite cliff. During her first mountaineering attempt, she was breathing while standing on a ledge. While she was resting there, the safety rope hit her eye and the contact lens fell out from her eye.
“What now?” She thought, “Here I am on the edge of a cliff, hundreds of feet above the ground, and now everything has gone blurry.”
She looked around again and again in the hope that somehow she might reach the top of the mountain. But she couldn’t see any way.
She felt panic growing inside herself, so she started praying. She prayed for inner peace and she prayed that she could find her contact lenses.
When she somehow reached the top, a friend thoroughly checked her eyes and clothes for the lens, but could not find it. Although she was calm now as she had reached the top, but she was sad too, because she could not see clearly across the mountains.
She prayed to God that, “Oh Lord, you can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and you know very well where my contact lenses are. Please help me.”
After a while, another group of climbers reached the top peak. A member of the crew shouted, “Hey, have any of you lost contact lenses?”
It was quite shocking, but do you know where the climber saw it? An ant was walking slowly on a twig on top of a rock, and that contact lens was on it!
The story does not end here. Brenda’s father was a cartoonist. When he heard the incredible story of the ant, prayer and contact lenses, he drew a cartoon picture of an ant with the title, “God I don’t know why you want me to carry this thing. I can’t eat it and it’s too heavy as well. But if that’s what you want from me, I will carry it for you.”
I think we should all happily say, “God, I don’t know why you want me to carry this load, I don’t see anything good in it and it’s too heavy as well… but if this is what you want of me, I will definitely carry it and that too with full enthusiasm.”
Nature doesn’t invoke the worthy, it makes whoever it invokes worthy. ♾️
“We remain conscious of God in everything we feel, think and do in constant connection with God. The easiest way to do this is through acceptance and surrender.”
Words of wisdom from a gentle soul.
Nothing of this nature is our own
We cannot claim it as ours
As the world has existed beyond any of us
We come to this world for a while
We owe it more than we own it
Our deeds speak for themselves
And time tells the truth of living.
Our responsibility lies with ourselves
The way we choose to live every day
A little compassion in consciousness
A loving acknowledgement in awareness
For the burdens on mother nature
Goes a long long way
In sustaining the world we have.

Peace matters
More than we know
For the heart is never at ease
In the wake of uncertainties & tensions
Allow love and peace to leads the way
Steer towards positive thoughts in this now
And sense your life thrive as you live.

On Tranquillity
In sensing the tranquillity within
In knowing the sounds of silence
In flowing freely in the moment
Is the space of wonder and awe
Of the beauty in the being …
In the bliss of the bless.

Your cells are intuitive and have memory bank of information that is stored both inately and experientially .
How they synthesize and process that information may depend on many factors, especially on how healthy they are and what kind of nutrition they continue to have.
However they are continously in communication with you. Your sense of intuition is a part of their communicative process.So is your gut feeling and even a deja vu.
There is always much listening in to do if you wish to decode these flashes of thoughts and feelings. In fact they are your inbuilt guide and gifts of life. Acknowledge them for what they are.
That familiar feeling of knowing someone or something before even meeting them.
The rush of emotions amidst certain memories may be your intuitive sense of your cellular being getting a higher intensity of messages.
Here it is important to differentiate between fear and intuition… most often fear as a reaction is driven by attachment and led by insecurity, whereas intuition is a calm knowing from an inner voice of guidance and an almost unattached feeling although at times they may overlap in certain situations .
The tense feeling before a certain situation or place person or thing. Can be, you are getting a message across from your survival mechanism .
Your clenched fist or the butterflies in your stomach, the knotted feeling deep within at times, or even a voice screaming from within of lurking danger ahead are all perhaps are a forewarning to be more present in this now that you actually are.
Your intuition sense comes from both the heart and the gut brain. While the gut feeling comes forth to protect you, the heart is expansive in nature for it is known to radiate an aura around you. So no matter how the intuitions come from you can learn to make it work for you as you begin to develop your understanding of it.
The trick is in discernment of what comes from the place of fear and why or from the space of love and why.
A few tips on developing and harnessing your intuition.
1.Acknowledge your sense abilities for they are more powerful than we understand them to be
2.Try an pay attention to the first feeling you get in situations. There may be more to the vibes you get.
3.Work and develop your creative skills it helps to strengthen your intuitive sense of awareness starting with your own breathing patterns.
4 Try to work on being grateful of the gift of life and trust it to be your guide along the way. .
5. Most importantly avoid over thinking simply, be alert and yet receptive as it is always a work in progress.
How much do you value your intuition?
How much do you allow it to manifest itself?
Do you care to nurture it ?
Do you care to listen when your intuitive sense talks to you ?
Or do you choose to ignore it and move on .
Do you recall any instance of how you listened to your intuitive self.
Do share your thoughts…

Core is the source, in unity of consciousness.
Life manifests uniquely in all its profoundness.
As every form follows an awakening of its being.
To transcend beyond the self limitations in understanding.
One look at the stars above and the earth below
Is all that is needed to know ones place under the sun.
As times flow, the infinitude of the universe is sensed in life & living.
One reach the acknowledgement that all is in this oneness.

I see…
A borderless world
Overflowing abundance
In the kindness of being.
Beyond assumptions
Notions & judgments
In fear and confusion
Over man made division.
The beauty of creation
Survives the human frailties.
The world without borders
Is one of awe and intrigue
Of all pervading consciousness.
Of manifestations beyond compare
Of artistry beyond words
All strewn for us to sense
In the tapestry of life.

There is more to speaking than what we simply hear.
And the power of positive speech cannot be underestimated.
Speak as you would like to be spoken to
Speak clearly with confidence & certainty
Speak to convey the message than try to control.
Speak using positively affirming words.
Speak politely and avoid sarcasm.
Speak with empathy and avoid criticism.
While speaking to children…
A child hears and understands the tone of your voice well.
Keep it balanced as far as possible
Use it well to convey the messsge without yelling.
And most of all
Speak with words that appreciate than admonish.
It makes all the difference.

Our habits are in our hands
When we choose to rise and sleep
What, when and how we eat
How much we sit or move every day
What kind of lifestyle we lead
Every one of this is a choice we have
Our body is meant to change in time
But our habits can make all the difference
We can cultivate wellness in our ways
We can choose to empower our mind
We can choose to live life Lovingly
We can cultivate positive thoughts & ways
All is in the timely interventions
In our life and living.

If ever you feel the need to be uplifted
Simply bring yourself
To look around and within
To consider all the things
That gives you real joy!
There is so much more to living
Even the ordinary day
Can turn extraordinary
If you choose to see it so.

The strength of the Interconnects….
Runs deeper than we can fathom.
We need one another and ourselves
To complete the circle of life
As we are however we are
To help one another in need
We can take a step to bring ourselves
Closer to the truth of our being
Such is the need of our times
More than ever before.
