So many feelings
So many thoughts
Creating confusion
Body mind & spirit
What to say and do
What to hold on to
And what to let go
Queries the mind.
Let go doubt
Let go assumptions
Let go prejudice
Let go judgements
All is meant to change
All is meant to flow
Answers the heart.
But the dance of the mind and heart continues😊
Every day… until
Dancing the doubts away
The body heals
Awakening the intuitive wisdom
The spirit regenerates…

Any technological l advancement calls for updating of skills and most of all adaptability.
Adaptability of any new technology calls for embracing change and developments in both actions & attitude…
For adaptability calls for new
learnings with the curiousity of an optimist.
A willingness to uncover the new.
to acknowledge with enthusiasm
In exploration and discovery
Of the potential possibilities.
And the acceptance of errors & misses inspite of the best efforts
& most of all a relentless
development of resilience
to bounce back on the path.
Do share your thoughts and insights on Adaptability.

The Desert Wisdom
With the singing sands
Below the feet
Where the winds blows
Tuning in to the changes
Slipping in through
The sands of time
Dancing in the dunes
Is the wisdom of the flow
Nothing is what it seems
The desert tests the spirit
To transform the being
The desert teaches…
The many ways of survival.
Through the wisdom in change.

The paper is where it is
On it the pen moves
Driven by the hand
The fingers of writer
Holding the pen
Waltzing on paper
Shaping thoughts
In a flow all its own.
And the soul & spirit
Of the writer imprints
For eternity…

Every life in this world
Is born with courage to thrive
And the courage to survive
It is a matter of recognising
And awakening to your courage
Courage has many facets
In you exists so many kinds of courage…
And each of us have different degrees of it.
There is courage is a dare that speaks to your truth
A dare that makes you confront
With the truth of you.
When was the last time you sensed courage?
Or lack of it in a certain situation? .
Courage that dares through physical challenges.
Enduring discomfort hurt
Or pain and even possible danger.
Then comes the emotional courage
To be able to confront
Your deepest fears and doubts
Having the ability to seek help
Express your inner feelings
Takes a great deal of courage too.
Not everyone can share their truths easily.
Have you ever been tongue tied and socially awkward?
Perhaps you need to work on being socially courageous.
Speaking with self confidence means assertive communication.
Connecting with people from all walks of life with ease.
Work on your voice and poise which helps in speaking publicly.
Have you sensed the need to learn more?
To educate yourself every now and then?
It is about being courageous to develop your intellectual strengths.
An ability to say’ I don’t know’ or admit’ I was wrong. ‘
Breaking the ego build up and allowing space to understand more
This also require the development of humility in great measures.
Somewhere deeply inter linked with morality and conscience.
In the ability to admit to mistakes to stand up for values and fight for rights
Upholding the principles with conviction & braving opposition.
Not many people find it easy to fight the odds. They give in.
To understand beyond the self calls for another type of courage
The empathically courageous will go beyond biases to get into the others persons perspective.
Empathy is a courage to sense the trials and tribulations of others.
Along with this is another kind of profound courage
An exploration of your own Spiritual truths.
This calls for conscious connections, remembering to honour your life, in and around you in every form.
Courage is an inner reserve
That actions from all of you
Your nature and nurture
Is unique so is your courage
And the way you are…
Explore what facets of courage has naturally become your strength in time.
And what facets do you need to build and develop in yourself.
Now when you think back of the many situations that you exemplified your courageous self.
Every thing you need is already within you
Waiting for you to trust yourself enough to recognize it.
Remember your courage is one of your many gifts of strength.
Acknowledge and use it wisely.

Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…
Giving the benefit of doubt
There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.
Can you agree to disagree?
For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.
It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.
Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.
What is it that you are not aligned with?
Why are you feeling this way?
Empathic Perspectives
Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?
If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.
Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less information about the reasons for any decision taken.
Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!

Any time I catch myself complain about life…there is a beautiful line by Abraham Lincoln to put things back in perspective ..
“We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns. Or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.”
Life is in the way you see it!

An experimental poem
Yesterday evening, I asked my mother sitting besides me and sipping her tea, to share a few random words that came to her mind.
These are what she shared in the same order as she shared.
Time, Eternal, Free, Freedom, Connection, Heart, Destiny, Love, Emerging, Twinkle, Abundance, Garnering, Gather, Depth, Stardust, Voyage Spirit
Here is what I imagined in the dance of these words…
When Love is Destiny
Emerging in eternal time
Destiny twinkles on stardust
Garnering connections of hearts
Voyaging free in the spirit of freedom.
Gathering abundance in the
depth of love.

My friend Destiny highlighted a comment of mine on her comment on my yesterdays post Sensing
It felt as if we exchanged a moment of poignant connection that jumped time. For in that one moment words touched heartsfields. where feelings are relatable. In empathy or synchrony…
It is certainly not something new, for it is something we all undergo as writers and readers. A connection, through mere words but that which feels you know… the spirit, and soul of the hand that pens the verses or the heart that emotes in the reading.
And these are moments that make
Words come alive & speak
From a place of knowing
Far beyond mere words
Beyond the writer or reader.
As if it’s meant to be
As if it’s meant to connect.
These are moments…
Sparking the dance of divinity
Of the inexplicable serendipity
In Sensing Oneness in humanity.

Souls know the truth of their being
Embedded in the journey of life
Soul connection has the power
To heal and life regenerates
A body and spirit is given
So the soul can move…
Movements that flow
Towards its purpose of being.

As a Life Coach one has the opportunity to positively impact and influence another life and its ripples can be felt miles around. It is huge responsibility.
Thriving as a Life Coach
Every life is unique and a life coach needs to keep ideating and integrating approaches and interventions that make way to transformative changes. It can challenge the very best.
To thrive as a life coach and be effective it is necessary…
Approachability : To be approachable and open to feedback, which helps to foster trust and respect within the clients
Patience : To empathize with others and understand their perspectives before offering solutions
Resilience : To adapt & to bounce back, no matter the challenges.To be able to bend and not break under pressure.
This calls for a great amount of emotional intelligence, consistency, creative thinking & resilience. A resilience that comes from experience and one that is honed in flexibility & adaptability.
What matters most is how a life coach can instill confidence and trust in another to make a meaningful difference.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

Healing through breathing…
Here is one of the many techniques that can be practiced in awareness.
Box breathing
A Breathing technique to destress an agitated and tense mind to calm state and improve the mood.
A good practice for all and especially for those with depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD managing pains and insomnia.
The technique is simple and very effective.
1. Sit upright & Start with exhaling air out of your mouth slowly counting 1to 4.
2. Hold for four counts
3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.
4.Again hold for four counts
5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.
As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.
The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.
You can practice box breathing couple of sets in a day as needed to calm down.
Breathe away the stress
And breathe in ease.

difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
