Way of seeing

The way we see the world

Changes our experiences.


Lesser expectations

Greater contentment


Lesser assumptions & doubt

Greater trustfulness


Lesser hopelessness

Greater possibility


Lesser the complexity

Greater the clarity.

How do you see the world?

Beyond the self

The world around  us

Is interacting all the time

The way we choose

Becomes us.

And each of our choices

Through our intentions

Becomes deeds of our doing.

It’s all in us

In the thinking and intending

For the good of all

Beyond the self.

Dance of matter

Every move has  a reaction

In the cause  and effect world

Forms shifting shapes

Colours changing  hues

Where even the blink of an eye

A touch of the breeze

Or even a silent intention

Can set off a symphony in response

For all is aligned in connection.

Twisted or helical structure

In a Self arranging universe 

Reflecting retracting

Rotating revolving

Tuning  itself in time

Blending in the balancing

Altered by sensitivity in subtlety

Interplay of Intelligence

Telling phenomenonal stories

Holding immense possibilities

In its infinite potential

Awaiting mindful application

In the journey of awakenings .

All is a dance of matter.

What is something you love about nature?

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling  views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

The divinity within

When every breath is a consciousness
In awareness
Of the divine energy of life.

Of its presence in every inhale and exhale.
Between two breaths  and the spaces within.

But this awareness  needs cultivation…

Of  mindful breathing  as a practice for a life time. 
In it is the spirit of life
And our own spirituality… influenced and constituted,  strengthened in each mindful breath
Hopefully…
A work in progress✨️ 🙏✨️

New Age Of Wisdom

My good friend @Geoff  Hudson Searle posed and shared an interesting  question.’Are we entering  a new age of Wisdom?

‘A new age of wisdom ‘ is a fascinating topic to ponder on…

Wisdom continues to evolve

As change is the only constant

Knowing is never enough

Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.

Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.

Speaking of AI, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.

Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.

The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

What are your thoughts on this?

One positive thought

All it takes is one positive thought

That manages to linger & survive

To drive away negative thoughts.

So think positive and thrive.

Perfect imperfections

Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.

Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.

The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

What are your thoughts?

Awaken

You awaken

When you are ready to release

That which holds you back.

In acknowledging

Is the allowing 

Of new possibilities

And sense the light within.

Every once in a while

It’s good to unshackle

Simply ask your self

What am I holding back?

Love Love

Let love live

Not just in your smile

In your heart

In your eyes

In your bones

Allow it to reside

In every cell of your being

Make it your life long friend

And see the magic unfold

On Mentoring

Trustful Mentorship

The dynamics of mentor mentee relationship is one of trust and confidence.

Building trustful mentorship requires genuine love to help guide people for the better.

Besides the required skills and expertise, mentors having an inclusive, expansive and holistic approach while helping unique  pathways for clients, adds to their repertoire to create trustful mentorship .

Clarity and integrity in communication & behaviour , excellent interpersonal skills and empathic attitude add value beyond the experience and expertise of the mentors.

It is important to acknowledge the influence a mentor can have on the mentees decisions be it at work or personal life.

Hence, a good understanding of ethics while handling conflicting opinions biases, & emotional triggers helps empower the mentee than exploit them.

After all, a mentor is someone who guides advice and supports along the way…

Hope is here to stay!

Truly life is how you live it.

Your attitude your thoughts matter.

It truly is starkly different

The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness

The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.

From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,

The power of hope changes destiny.


Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.

Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.

Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light. 
Hope is here to stay!

It’s all in you to change.

A story share

A young girl was studying in a school.

She hadn’t been to school for four days because she was not feeling well.

When she went back to school, there were a lot of lessons taught.

To catch up on the lessons, she asked her best friend for her notes.

But her friend refused to give her the notes, saying she had to study them that evening.

Feeling dejected, she couldn’t get the notes copied.

Another girl came to her aid and gave her the notes, helping her out.

The girl was heartbroken that her best friend didn’t help her. She remembered all the times she had given chocolates and colored pencils to her friend.

Reflecting on this, she felt extremely sad and cried, becoming obsessed with the thought.

“Obsessed” means thinking about something repeatedly. She couldn’t stop thinking about her friend not giving her the notes.

She couldn’t eat lunch properly, came home, and sat quietly.

She couldn’t talk properly, watch TV, or laugh. She couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about it all the time. The next day was a school holiday, but she couldn’t enjoy it.

That day, her family went to a park. Her father put her on a swing and started pushing her. The swing went higher and higher, making her happy. She screamed joyfully, asking her dad not to push too hard. Her dad kept pushing, and after half an hour on the swing, she got down and played more games.

She forgot her anger and sadness towards her friend, feeling at peace.

That night, while sleeping, she reflected on the following points:

Point 1: It was wrong of her friend not to give her the notes. Why should she lose her happiness, appetite, and laughter over it?

Point 2: Maybe her friend genuinely needed to study and couldn’t give her the notes.

Point 3: Being angry at her friend made her distance herself from her loving parents.

Point 4: Constantly thinking about anger and irritation towards someone is torturous. It prevents us from doing anything else.

Point 5: Why didn’t she try to forget her anger for even five minutes? She felt excited while on the swing and forgot her anger. Why didn’t she think about getting out of the problem?

Reflecting on these points, she reached a conclusion.

Thinking negatively about anyone all the time will prevent you from being at peace. It drains our energy and makes us unable to enjoy life. Therefore, she decided to stay friendly and cheerful.

She woke up energetically,
greeted her parents,
took a bath and wore her uniform,
ate her breakfast, packed her bag,
and as she stepped out, sunlight shone on her face.

Her face looked brighter and more beautiful in the sunlight.

When our thoughts are good, our actions will be good. When our actions are good, our life will be good.
