Art of Speaking

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.

Survivor tree

Survivors have  a uniqueness

That’s bestowed in the survival

This Hart tree is a Giant Sequoia tree.

In Redwood  Mountain Grove California 

This tree has survived the ravages of fire.

Carrying the scars in silent grace

By shaping herself this way in time.

Timely intervention

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.

Real Joy!

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.

On Expectations

Our expectations are our internal picture of what we anticipate will happen in future. When our expectations are met we are happy but when not, they set us up for disappointments.

Setting the expectations and giving clarity can be effective in a professional environment. Yet when we do not communicate it or when we set unrealistic expectations it can lead to anxiety frustration & loss of trust.

A few traits to develop that help in handling our expectations better.

Communication : Acing our internal and external communication establishes an understanding of the expectations.

Adaptability : An art of change management. In being adaptable to a new and different reality we learn to manage our expectations.

Kindness & compassion : Both help us hone our attitudes. The way we feel and emote during a challenging moment helps us manage and alter the situation.

Patience : A virtue that helps us to not be too exacting on ourselves and others.

Equanimity : Being non judgmental helps in being less edgy and more balanced in our expectations.

After all…

Less you expect
Less  you worry
Less you stress
More is the faith
More the love
More life

Make a choice

Make a choice

To choose the way of life and living

Intend that you want to manifest

And all that you do not want…

The sooner you let go

The things you cannot change

The better your journey in this now

Life is full of challenges in the changes

But there is a Choice that rests with you!

Make a choice today!

Subtlety Of Consciousness

All matter is energy 
And we are unique speckles of vibrations.
All resonating in the universality of life and living.
Trust you matter, more than you know 
Believe you can and are making a difference 
As you connect deeply in the universal flow 
Tune in to reflect the truth of your being.
 
Every word every deed 
Every step every move 
Impacts the larger whole 
Just as much as the world around you.
So start with who and what is around you 
Sense your intuitive self talking to you 
Telling much in all its subtlety.
Trust it, for it is abound
With the strength of the subtle energies.
Resonate joy, abundance, balance
Resonate love ,harmony and peace
For you have the power to transform your world

The Luminous Mind

In the consistency of mindfulness practices
The mind attains luminosity
A state of radiance of the primal mind.
The mind may be obscured
Every now and then
By the passing thoughts
Like the clouds obscuring the sun
And yet the sun knows
The clouds are meant to drift along
As the path of light shines through
Like ray’s of light beams itself
Never underestimate the power

Of the Luminous Mind

Vibrance in Resonance

Cymatics is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena.A form of sound therapy that is not applied through hearing, but by instruments that send audible sound waves directly into the body through the skin.

The term was coined by Hans Jenny, a Swiss follower of the philosophical school known as anthroposophy. Jenny published a book about the structure, dynamics, and effects of sound vibrations in 1967. Present-day cymatic therapy was largely developed by Sir Peter Guy Manners, an English medical doctor and osteopath, starting in the 1960s.Wikipedia

Here is a little more information on this positively inspiring vibrations in resonance

Healing power of Sound

When the patterns created by sounds

Imprints on the cells of our being

Intricately interweaving in our hearts

Music becomes applied medicine.

Science proves the possibilities

Of application of sound as therapy

In the right frequency & amplitude

In the cell repair and renewal

In our organs and tissues.

In non invasive and natural ways

There are cleansing and relaxing benefits.

Through our own voices or sounds of nature

Such is the healing power in the sound .

On Listening

There is the power of Sounds

Discovered in betwixt the Silence

In the meditative mode of stillness

In contemplative introspection

In the expansiveness of understanding

In the depth of listening

There is then the power of words

Of the vision in the verses

Of expressions in the sensing

Flowing with feelings in the sharing

All vibrations in the resonance.

There is in the power of Silence

Discovered betwixt the words

That speaks the truth yet unspoken

When Silence Speaks

It is good to listen.

On Acceptance

In Acceptance, there are many perspectives in the understanding.
Acceptance as I see it, is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of self acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient  nature of  everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now. 
Acceptance is often seen as being defenseless.


Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength,  is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the  whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness, in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The Paradox of Idea Generation

While working with teams in collaboration Our assumptions and notions often lead us.

Our expressions are guarded and stunted in Our doubts kicks in a resistance to be free.

The attitudes that we carry around ideas
Often block us from generating fresh ideas
We believe our idea must be the best idea.
We believe we cannot say what we think.
We fear the criticism of what we openly say
We hold back thinking sharing is not wise.
Or that someone  will steal our ideas.
Or that we will not get credit for it.
Or perhaps the need for perfection kicks in

All are the real blocks in creative ideations
Without faith and confidence in ourselves
We cannot express & ideate in groups
Yet nothing is achieved in silos
Growth is a consequence of the sharing.

Creative possibilities are enhanced
In a more exploratory space of learning Adopting  a more collaborative approach.
As we begin to share, we learn some more.

Great ideas are born from creative collaboration.

Have you tried to collaborate creatively with a team? Do share your experiences.

The Grass Is…

Grass is as you see it!

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.

The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”

The lion replied: “True, the grass is blue”.

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence”.

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”..

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”

Truth asserts itself!

The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green”.

The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?”

The lion replied:

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question.

Your time is precious!

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense…

There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

What to focus on ? Choice is yours!

When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

On Being Happy

The moment you choose to be happy

No matter where you are

You begin to learn to smile from the heart

You begin to change the way you speak

You begin to listen deeply and be focused

On happier things than the mundane

You evolve and thank life…

Every day a little more in time

Being happy is a choice

And the choice rests with you.

Daring to begin again

In giving yourself the permission to start over

Is the ability to acknowledge hope and possibilities

In the starting all over again is tenacity

And persistence in perseverance

To begin again a new journey

Speaks volumes of ones inner strength

And resiliency
