Fleeting moments

There is beauty in this now

But a sadness in letting go

Learning to appreciate this now

And accept the changing moments

As part of every now

Helps envision beyond what is

For all is transient.

The way you move,

The way you write

The way you dance

The way you talk

The way you live

Share much about you

Express without fear

It’s good for you.

Remember…

Sharing at times can make you vulnerable

But it can open you up to the strength within.

Self Healing

Head to toe

Toe to head

Breathe it out

Let it go..

Heal overwhelm

Heal overthinking

Heal your heart

Heal yourself

In the mixed bag of lides emotions

Some get felt a little too deeply

Embedding  itself into the psyche.

And affecting thoughts & actions

Emotions too need release

Unshackle to let go and free up

Cut the cord of emotions

Before they overwhelm you.

Find some time to breathe it out

To process and reflect & let go

To exhale the unwanted emotions.

And heal your heart .

Every breath matters

To breath well is a blessing . For every breath is never to be taken for granted.

In every breath we take

Let’s value this gift of life.

Acknowledging our breath

Lets breathe in ease .

Lets take a moment

In between breaths

Pause with ease

Relax the self

To let go with ease

And repeat…

Every breath matters.

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?

Self Reflection

The child they say is the father of the man.

Question yourself

How you were as a child…

How was your childhood?

Here is a little self reflection tool in understanding the self.

Think of yourself as a child,  what age do  you imagine  yourself  to be in?

Write down words that come to you when you think of your childhood?

Write down people or places that  connect with the words you wrote

You will find yourself  connecting the dots…

All of the expressed, repressed and suppressed emotions has much to do with who you become as an adult.

Much of what you felt, are feeling as an adult goes back to what you enjoyed or endured as a child..

Nature works with nurture to create your being.

Each of us have  evolved from our  experiences. Self reflection is a valuable tool to bring to  awareness that however easy or difficult the childhood was, understanding that childhood is your past but the present is with you for you to carve. to make your future.

Now the choice rests with you.

Daring the unknown

Our conditioning has a role to play in the way we see people and things around us. To trust is to dare into the unknown.

Just read this interesting article …

19 professionals walk through unknown villages for 3 days — without a single rupee | Pune News – The Indian Express

https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/19-professions-walk-through-unknown-villages-for-3-days-without-a-single-rupee-9583205/

Amazing to read about these Braveheart  who dared to experience  first hand  self-belief beyond fear…and who came back enriched with experiences.

Touching to read  about the kindhearted  people who came their way like saviours.

Pretty sure  they may all have had some life altering experiences in one way or another.

Against all odds

Breaking the rut of routine

In forging new pathways

Beyond fear for survival

All preconceived notions fall

In the dare into  the unknown.

Write drunk. Edit Sober.

‘Write Drunk

Edit Sober.”

Attributed to Hemingway this line  is a little gem in itself .

Here is my take…

As a writer give in

To flights of fancy

Give in to the dance

Of Imagination.

Be drunk with joy

Of writing with all of you.

Enjoy the immersion

Embody your uniqueness

And flow with the words .

Sense the delights in disarray

Just write on…

As you edit

Stay sober 

Be attentive

Be mindful

And aware.

And patient

With yourself.

Most of all

Be here in the now.

Savvy

Ps :I write for joy… so have always enjoyed writing  in a flow though never drunk , I confess I  have enjoyed  the waltz with words as it flows often on.  And yet I also know I have a lots to  learn about editing. It’s still a work in progress. 

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?

Thrive in Gratitude

Life hands many a tough lessons in our journeys. But to strive to be strong and tread through it all, not just by surviving the ordeals but thriving takes inner strength in conviction. It helps to focus on your sense of purpose if you have deciphered it by now, else take each moment as momentary.  Know the pain you feel in this now will be gone in the next. This attitude takes you on a spiritual path of letting go. It makes a profound impact in life  as you continue to practise regularly. Regardless of outcomes you are  thriving…in Gratitude for the lessons from life in the living.🙏

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

Travel On…

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he  has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.

While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.

Thought of sharing my verses  again.

Travel On

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey

Take it, for you meet many versions of you.

Along the road.

Some you cherish, some cherish you.

Some that change you and some that you change.

Fear not the travel or the traveling…

For one thing is certain

You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.

Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,

Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …
