Retrouvaille

Meeting an old friend
A kindered spirit
Or a loved one …

The joy of uniting
After being afar 
Speaks of interconnections…
Where time and space
Evaporates without a trace
In the moments together.

Its often said
Absence makes the heart
Grow fonder…
So is it the distance
That makes reunion sweeter?
Gibran wisely said…
Let there be spaces
In your togetherness

So whatever the relationship
With another or with the self ,  the very act of reconnecting  with an old hobby, that you  were once passionate about,  makes it truly memorable.
For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.

Savvy

PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience.
Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.


Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.


Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

Making sense of it all… 

Experience eats degrees for breakfast.

Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.

Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.


Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.

For learning never stops.

Humility allows for growth…

Making sense of it all.

On Wings Of Grace

As you choose to fly free

As you brave new winds

As you discover new horizons

Always remember who has your back.

The bonds of love are there for a reason…

To be nurtured and cherished by its sheer presence

For to be lovingly supported is a blessing of grace.

Art lives on…

An artist leaves much more
than creativity in the artwork.

There is a voice in every frame,
speaking deeply if you care to listen.

That voice carries the artist’s choices
of color and composition,
of style and strokes,
of moods and feelings
breathed into the birth of art.

The artist speaks through the work.
The energy of the artist is embedded
in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.

When a piece feels complete,
the artist releases it to the world.
And yet, the energy lives on,
transforming itself through time
and the spaces it inhabits.

Art is transformed again
in translation and interpretation,
reshaped by those who encounter it.

As creators, whether of images or words,
our work continues to live,
each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely.
And so it flows…
transforming itself in time.

The Game Changer

Often it is in the adversity,

you meet your true strengths.

In the tests of life,

you find your true self.

That which you discover

in these challenges,

arrives in the journey

to steer you on your path.

So hold on, in trust & faith.

For no matter what,

all in not lost.

You will find it in you,

to begin anew. 

In experiences of adversity, 

you meet yourself.

And that’s the gamechanger.

A question to my reader…

If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t  have found any other way ?

Creating Resilience

Resilience is developed in time.

In every fall.

In every blow

In every painful experience.

The power rests with you to work on yourself.

Resilience is about nurturing  what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling  the situation at hand.

Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary  moments that you have with you.

Resilience is being able to smile from the heart,  knowing your circumstances dont define you.

In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge  from it stronger.

While resilience is in learning from experiences and  strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…

Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking  like the mighty oak tree,

Resilience is creating yourself  in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.

Resilience means, you are very much present and it means  you are evolving from your experiences for the better.

In times of being resilience

You become the master of your life.

You steer on in faith

no matter the rudder is way off.

Knowing  you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.

Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing  that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives

You are like an artist creating  something  from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience  results are awaiting you in trust & time.

Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.

What is resilience to you?

When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?

Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

The Power of Calm

There is charisma in calm

It’s the power of calm

In life’s highs and lows.

In calm lies confidence

Invoking assurance

Being calm in a conversation

Evokes the energy of stillness

Emits vibrancy devoid of agitation.

In the calm there is depth of  awareness

In the center of calm

Is potential  to assimilate

No matter the chaos

You find equilibrium.

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

What does calm feel like to you in this now?

What is the distance  between you and your sense of calm?

Where & how do you think you can find your calm?

The morning moments

My morning  moments have the preciousness of calm for me.I choose dawn to intend the calm for the day ahead. In the quiet moments of dawn where the world is still sleeping, I find my creative state of flow. Although I have been able to connect  with my calm through the day, the vibes of this part of the day resonate so much. The early morning  sets the tone of the day for me.

How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Are you healthy and heard?

Life is a series of interconnections.The conversations and dialogues make life meaningful.

Life is meant to be expressed and experienced.You are healthier as you speak create love and listen.And you are even healthier if you feel heard. Being heard and understood feels like a boost for the body mind & spirit.

The cost of loneliness is a heavy price to pay.And so is the cost being ignored, undervalued, humiliated.And  equally heavy is the price of indifference.

When voices are minimized and presence dismissed, the direct effects are loneliness and isolation.The body remembers and reacts to the rejection showing up in symptoms and diseases, for the emotional walls manifests itself in inexplicable ways…

Restoring the sense of self is about creating sharing opportunities fornot just personal expression but about being heard & feeling understood.

It’s not about  the space we occupy, but the life we live.

The conversations & dialogues we have,

The learnings & understanding we share

Makes life meaningful in the interactions.

Life cannot be contained in a vacuum.

We are healthier in expression

Life is not just to exist but to  to lived.

Such is the truth of life.

To express & create

To speak &  listen

Is to bridge the gaps

Healing one another

In inclusion that we matter.

Creating belonging & restoration of wellbeing

Shielding hearts in health

And a sense of community.

Such is the power of health in feeling heard .

Truth of Oneness

Union of Interconnects


Universe is energy

Energy flows

If it stagnates

It defeats the purpose of life

​Yet as our life flows

Our internal being

Changes along the way

In the depth of spirituality

Lies the truth of union

Of the interconnections.

​The paths may have many names

But all lead home

A home is where the spirit & soul unite

Roots to the tip…

​Life is understood in the living

To delve into the depth, structure to subtlety,

To pure bliss of awareness

We need to go inwards

Inside out is the way

To unlock the knots of ignorance

From form to formless…

​Life is a gift

Yet, the moment we are alive

We are rooted by nature to survive

We are binded in fears, insecurity, and the illusions of separation

​We are bound by dependence, both of heartfelt emotions and in the quest of our own ego for personal identity.

​And we are also bound by our own mind, its so-called intellect, and the illusions that see the self as separate from others.

​To understand the truth of oneness…

Life is experienced and with every challenge along the way we peel the layers of our rigid self, our ignorance, piercing these very illusions & misunderstandings to open us to the abundance of our infinite possibilities.

​And so it goes until we realise life & the truth of oneness in all its profoundness of simplicity.

​In raising awareness from the root to the tip, the blockages are opened and pure waves of energy reach the floodgates of consciousness only to spring forth the shower of divine bliss & abundance.

PS

Growing up, the regular recitation of ancient scriptures filled my home, sparking a lifelong curiosity to understand more.

This is my humble perspective in the exploration of the’ Lila’ of the vast ocean of ‘Lalitha Sahasranamam and its depths of transformative power’

Infinite is the power of this master science, its recitation invoking the energy of sounds, and its truths of recalibration and resetting life in sincere faith.

In time as a somatic &Reiki  practitioner  I sensed a correlation.

Reiki translates as freeflow universal life force energy that is channeled in and through this truth of oneness It flows where needed.

Drawing upon the symbolic wisdom in the interconnects of thoughts and action of light & sound, we can unravel the truths of oneness.

Meditative listening, chanting these energetic frequencies with the correct intonations can change and transform our path, shifting our mode from survival to restorative clarity.

Un expect

In letting go of expectations

You step closer to yourself

Your truths are awaiting you

Everything around you

Is also in you

Everything in you

Is also around you.

Synchronize with your breath

Open yourself to sense

The immense possibilities

Allow insights to appear

On your wants & desires.

Enjoy every now of life

In this gift that is yours

Lies the path of salvation

Discover yourself

As the paths unfold.

Simply choose to unexpect

Stay patient and observe

Your strengths along the way

Learn from your experiences

Steer yourself to implement,

And apply it to a better life.

The Magic of Life & Living

Never heard of the word  Solecism,
until I looked it up…
But now I understand it

SOLECISM : It’s a part of life..
In the trial and errors
Life is threading through mapping its way quite like, how the neural connectomes do.

Through the thick & thin, we pattern our way like the coarse calico fur

Often clinging to the old receidovous ways of our hearts ,

Forging our paths in memory pushing us through

In part as a reminder to evolve for the better.

And in part reminiscences in the rare glimpses of lifetimes lived.

We realize the truth of our being.
As we continue to breathe and perform on this stage of life…

As it reveals itself .

The magic of life, is in the living.

Reflections on Strength

Every morning in my  moments of gratitude, I reflect on the things that I could have some times taken for granted. It has become a consistent habit for many years now…

In these contemplations there is often much that emerges, sometimes what’s apparent is not what is, and sometimes  what is, is not all…

Today it was all about  strength, not the kind that makes you go on, to push further but actually the kind  that is gentle and quiet, I am talking of that which is often invisible.

What came up was …

That strength doesn’t have to proclaim
That strength is often that which is hidden in you
That surfaces in the storms
That strength too needs rest to recover and its ok
That strength is seen in the so called small ordinary moments of life in subtle ways
That strength needs no nudging but nurturing in gratitude, for it appears whenever in need as a force of nature.
That every one of your strengths and my strengths are valuable in our lives to make it whole and complete.

Gratitude to all spheres of  strength in need for its a strength in deed.

Between the lashes

Between the lashes

There is the flame

Of the spirit burning bright

There is a window of the soul

Seeing in the envisioning 

Of the betwixt & beyond

Both inside & outside

And making sense of it all.

The lashes are but a curtain

To open up to the wonders of the world…

For between the  blink of the lashes

Lies the magic of sight.

Moving through the mire

Sink not into the mire

In doubts of despair

Choose to move yourself out

In thoughts words & deeds

Engage with  your passions

Dedicate your time with purpose

Light in yourself a spark of fire

Choose to move through 

And well beyond the mire.
