The dancing dew

Dancing dew… Photo by Savvy Raj

The sun is shining…
And yet the weather is so cool & nice. A gentle breeze is blowing every now & then, it’s so very refreshing!


As I was finishing my yoga practice with some balancing exercises… Standing with one foot on my mat and staring straight ahead, I spotted it.

The dance of this single dew drop balancing precariously on the branch of my lemon tree. Swaying in the wind.
I kept witnessing it’s beauty & while I winded my practice, it kept me rooted in rapture. I just had to capture it for eternity…😊
As the dew drop danced with gravity and the wind. I hoped it would still be right there when I went to get my phone.


I fiddled around to adjust my camera hoping to catch its glory sooner than later… 💙

This is my first photo of a dew drop…

What a beautiful morning! 💕 Hope you too find extraordinary joy in the little things of life… ❤️
Wishing you a blessed day!

What is Spiritual Growth to me?

Someone asked me what spiritual growth means to me …

Here is what I spoke about in a nutshell

Harmony in mind body & spirit Integration in Self awareness
Developing greater understanding & Empathy
Humility & Kindness
Humanity & Compassion.


Living in the lightness of being
Acknowledging Grace in Gratitude
Sensing true freedom to be…for the self and others.
To flow with life in serenity. Sensing the joy in the ordinary.

It’s about acknowledging & sensing the space in around me

It’s about giving in the receiving and receiving in the giving

Witnessing the evolving patterns and freeing the self from limitations of the mind.

Evolving in the learnings, valuing the connection built in time.
A mindful & heartful practice in conscious awareness.
Letting go of unnecessary things
Understanding the value
Of the gift of life
Making life meaningful.
Living life lovingly!

And in knowing it’s so much more….

Please feel free to add what spiritual growth means to you?

What is travel to you?

To travel
Can be about discovery
Of the old in the new places
Leading you to pathways
That takes you back to your self

To  travel
Can be a sensing of serendipity.
A feeling of  dejavue
A memorable journey
Unexpectedly unto yourself.

To travel
Can be to witness
The stark reality of life
Perhaps a jolt of reality
Of places and people
As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.

To travel
Can be to learn and unlearn
To connect us to this now
With the truths of things
In places we visit
Know and unknown.

Keep traveling  far and near to find yourself a little more every time.

Interconnects


We live in a world where we are interconnected at the intersections .

A world piecing things together rapidly charging forward
A world where technology triumphs in everything we do.

A world where  there is greater  acceptance of  possibilities
Where potential is being explored in associations
A world where art and science are at interlinked at the crossroads
Meeting like no tommorow
Where art is created by logic and calculations
Of a programmed artifical intelligence
Where science is more and more accepting of the metaphysical
Where science is turning to seek answers in spirituality
And Spirituality is discussed scientifically
But then in the same breath
Is the emergence of the mystics & the art of Spirituality.

Everything links to one another

Leading the truths of being

All is in the strength of the interconnects

To you my readers

Every day I write
It’s been so for more than six years now
I don’t plan on what to write
I just  put the words as they  come
But somehow from somewhere
From deep within they flow
Through me…
And then one look  at what I wrote
I get the title immediately
Many times  the title comes first
And I begin to write

And then I just happen to share with  you all my readers
Some of you engage with me all most daily

And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.


Thankful for your  likes and comments
You readers  really make my day
Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word.
It’s truly special  to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again
It’s a  wonderful feeling…
When at the fag end of the day
I sit to read your thoughts
It makes me motivated to want to write some more.

Words are all I have
To share with you
I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours…
And hope to stay connected
With you  in times to come
For I believe to share is to learn some more…

Thank you for the love you share here.

On Spirituality

You can’t talk Spirituality
You got to live it.
Often when life takes you far
Far away from it…


You got to know
The divine that you seek
Is with you in every moment
Your actions thoughts and words
Decides the distance between
You and your spiritual self.

A world of difference

A thought in kindness
A word of kindness
A deed in kindness
Count up much more
Than you realise
Imagine the wealth of joy
You will have created
In a lifetime.

Leaving imprints of kindness

In thoughts words and deeds

Makes a world of difference

On Equanimity

The wisdom born of balance…

Being able to see the true essence

Of living life in the middlepath

Knowing the power of being gentle

Just as much as of toughness

In every circumstance.


Discerning when to be what

And with whom is the key


To successful life management.

Developing the discipline

In mind body & spirit

Calls for equanimity of not tilting

To the extremes of behavior

In thoughts words deeds.

What is your take on equanimity?

Chosen

Trust, that you are Chosen

To take a step towards change

To be the peaceful warrior

Who can brave new frontiers

With acts of kindness

And words of positivity

In goodwill do deeds for humanity

Bringing forth the best you can

And you truly can

Then every day feels meaningful

And with every now purposeful

You begin to understand

Who you truly are.

The Dance Of Trust

In the fragility of life

Lives trust in hope & faith

Strengthened by signs of integrity

Weakened by fear and doubts

In the labyrinth of this world

Trust dares to deliver itself

Finding its own way, invisibly

In its nuances rests complexities

Like mysterious & hidden stories

For trust holds itself through

Shaping itself in silence

Forging connections in time

In enduring or fleeting moments

This digital age is a tryst with trust

On what to believe or not to

In this era & changing times.

No matter the challenges

The nature of trust is trust itself

Like an intricate & sacred thread.

Reflecting in this sentiment

Embodying it, is this dance of trust.

Gratitude for the gifts

There are few gifts
Of life in the living
Like the joy of laughter
Like the happiness of smiles
Like the sharing of loving kindness
Like the sensing of gratitude

They add to your life
They heal your being
Body mind and Soul.
The more you have it
And live expressing it
The better the health of your heart.

A good thought
A good deed
A good laugh
And all is well
In the lightness of being.

Sensing my share of these gifts.
Are you?

A matter of approach

Creativity: A matter of approach.

What makes a job well done ?
What makes excellence a standard?
What makes one stand out a cut above the rest ?
What is aesthetics after all?
What differentiates the good better and the best?


All is a matter of approach in every field of life. A shift in the perspectives brings home the amazing solutions. An approach that is creatively expansive than confounding, opens a box of possibilities .

We are all equipped to reach out into our own creative potential by just empowering ourselves with techniques of approaching a situation at hand.


Every one of us is endowed with the potential to develop our artistic abilities and approach with a creative eye.

It’s a matter of putting the principles into practise and taking that giant leap of faith.

What is your attitude & approach to life today?

What are you going to create for yourself in this now?

The Creative You

Every life is unique.

And creative in its own way.

With you is the key of creativity

You simply have to believe in you

And explore this gift of life

That is already with you.

Creativity is in you

In the way you chose to be

In the way of you seeing

In the way you interpret life

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1392721954992696?sfnsn=wiwspwa&mibextid=6AJuK9

Watch

In the way you express

Infinite creative possibilities

Are awaiting expression

Awaken your potential today

Create from your uniqueness…

Acknowledging the good.

Often in the daily grind of life

We begin to take things for granted

Everyone we have with us

Every gift we are given in time

Every solution that solved issues

Every answer that came our way

The light of this day

The bliss of a restful sleep

A smile from a stranger

That made your day

A helping hand when in need

Nurturing home made food

Unconditional love from a furchild

And so much more..

Life gives you much

It’s in us to acknowledge

And recognise the good in our way

And appreciate this now

For all that which you already have!

On Spirituality

Whenever spirituality is discussed… there is always a question as to what is spirituality? And what is its significance in our lives?

Spirituality is a sensing of connection. The first step towards spirituality is about understanding the self as we are and then it’s an understanding of something greater than the self.

Simply put the spiritual significance of our lives is in the way we choose to live our lives.

To me spirituality is a sense of being & becoming a better person than yesterday, in selfawareness,in empathic connection, in being compassionate and kinder human being.

There are many pathways to explore spirituality and it’s unique to each of us.

It’s a pathway to finding the truth of your being and living life lovingly!

From yoga and movement arts to prayer and divination, the way we approach spiritual practices is varied and as unique as us.

What is spirituality to you?

Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?

What are your kind of spiritual practices?
