The Beginners Mindset
Helps in honing the ability
To see the world with fresh eyes
In curiosity, awe and wonder
Letting go of unnecessary perceptions
That can cloud the clarity.
When you choose
An open mind
Without assumptions
And preconceived notions
Without pride or prejudice
No matter who you are
What you have,
Or how much you know…
You are present
You are receptive
And welcoming of perspectives
To explore infinite possibilities
Of the potent now.

To make every day
Come alive for you!

Envision
Every horizon once reached
Reveals another beckoning at a distance
And so it goes…
Such is truth of life & living
There is always something more
To live for
To dream about
To do more
To reach beyond
Life never stops surprising.

Thinking well.
Your thoughts matter
Every one of them.
What consumes your mind
Controls you
Master your mind
Than let your mind master you.
Think well!

The Best of You
The way you live this now you have
Is beyond how life treats you
Trust the possibilities in this now
Let go of the unnecessary doubts
Trust in your reason to be
Trust your intentions keep the faith
Life is a reflection of perceptions
And self beliefs manifests hope within.
Keep being the best version of you
Because you truly can!

On Empathy
Life Skills: Empathy Education
Life with all its complexities and contrasts creates a necessity to chalk out ways to make young impressionable minds better equipped to handle its exigencies. Holistic education is so much about grounding in connectedness as much as it is about intuitive understanding that, harmony in the mind body connection is a way of life and living.
An education in empathic behavior becomes paramount in a materialistic world. A lot of misconception about empathy needs clarification.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another acknowledging them as they are, in a nonjudgmental space and being with another sensing the feelings and caring to reach out with support through words action and deeds …
Empathy can be sensed in a touch a nod or a smile or in the simplicity of silence, doing nothing but just being there ….
Empathy is a sharing, a feeling, a bonding, a being, a seeing, a sensing, a trusting and believing in hope, in faith, in life and grace.
Empathy is about caring, as a way of being. Empathy is not always about bearing the suffering and sensing another’s pain or being in a state of sorrow or pain. There can arise great empathy when dancing together or in a classroom environment where the teacher feels one with the student’s frame of mind and speaks to address that … or hearing or performing a song or play together with unbridled sense of bonding and enthusiasm. This empathy can be reflected time and time again in striving to consciously stay aware of the mutually creative fulfillment it brings to our lives. Positive benefits of empathy can become a mirror to gradually inducing greater empathic behavior in our lives towards ourselves and others.
Our movements have the power to change our moods, as much as our thoughts can bring a change in our way of being. It doesn’t matter who believes in your empathic way of life, what matters is you believe in it yourself. And that is the first step in making a positive difference. When there is an empathy in action, it is mirrored in our minds to create, generate loving and caring thoughts as a response to the action.
Every empathic thought finds its way into expression thoughts words or deeds creatively. With increasing empathic thought and action there is unknowingly a connectedness, valuing the interdependence in this web of life and living as a way of being.

Healing Moves
Wisdom of Moderation
‘My first intentional practice of Tai Chi began years ago on a rainy day in the month of June. The sweet cadence of the rain in all it’s rhythmic glory, the cleansing nature of the rain was just as wonderfully comforting as much as the experience of Tai Chi, with its movement in stillness and the stillness of its movements.
As I tried to move in unison with breath and learned to direct the momentum for the movements from the central core of the body to the outward, I could draw the parallels of the simple yet profound principles of Tai chi giving a lifetime’s guidance.
A life lived in the middle path gives one equanimity to see beyond the obvious. To envision the duality of existence enough to understand joy and sorrow, are not something eternal. Life becomes simple and just as easy to live as we make it , letting go of excesses of any kind, which ultimately works towards healing oneself from within.
It only adds to the fact that this moderation makes you want to work at building progressively, instead of pushing the boundaries and stretching beyond your abilities to the point of probably injuring yourself and giving up altogether.
The rain’s rhythmic tapping on my open window sill, the occasional bursts of cool breeze surrounding me now and then was in tune with my learning to release and melt away the accumulated stresses through conscious gentle outward movements . I felt a few varied sensations coming to me vying for attention, but as soon as my focus returned to simply witness the flow of breath in the movements the very same sensations completely vanished.
It was so peaceful to end the practice with breath awareness and mindful movements that I must add that like everything else in life, Tai Chi must be ideally learned under the guidance of a good teacher to experience the gamut of life enriching experiences it surely has to offer.
As I completed my practice for the moment , suddenly there was thunder and lightning signifying the release of feel good endorphins and hopefully parting with some of the tensions within me. This is after all the essence of Tai chi , to be one with Nature and learn to nurture it .
A humble dedication to Tai Chi form and the powers of the supreme in and around us.

Every Now Matters
Every now well lived
Paves the way for more.
Every moment is a juggle
Between past and the future
The challenge is the experience
Or the expectations of it.
It’s a little slice of our life
We hold in this now
Let’s choose to make the best
Of the moment at hand.
Savvy
All is well.
We are living in a world rushed for time. People hurry and scurry through the day.
What we see in others is a part of us too reflected through them, when we are accepting of that part and able to respect it just as much as ourselves , we create all that we need to see at that moment .
Some very basic humane abilities are necessary in our journey in life.
To listen to understand, to connect, to acknowledge, to emphasize, to sense gratitude, to share happiness, and care for another as much as for ourselves.
Much of the world’s issues may find solace & resolutions in simply caring to be present in the moment.
In these abilities lies the truth of nature in its magnanimity and abundance in every moment.
And All is truly well.

Take what you need!
Take what you need…
Love and hope to bridge the divide
Faith and patience to move beyond
Courage and understanding to dare
Peace and passion to create some more
Healing and strength to help yourself
Beauty and freedom to enjoy this now!
Take what you need
But always remember…
Wiser to take that which we feel we really need this moment and maintain the state of positive abundance for others too.
After all there is so much good within all already!
So simply take what you really need.

Space of Calm
Still waters run deep they say
There is much learning in the depth of calm
Stay hopeful but grounded to this now
Have dreams but be in this moment.
There is peace even in the storms
They say…
You can train your mind to find calm
As within you is the power of calm
To sense and be
Whenever you choose to
You can find your space of calm.

On Trustfulness
Do you agree?
The first step
Often taken in blind faith
In love and expectations
To experience lifes best moments
With or without a backstep
With or without fear and doubt
On some corner of the mind & heart
Yet a step ahead in time
Makes all the difference
Between thinking and doing
For action speaks louder than words.
