This morning I witnessed
A glorious vision awaiting me…
The ‘Rays of the Sun’
Sharing light, hope
And blessings through the trees
Energizing the spaces
In and around me…
Such a picture perfect moment.
While sensing the Grace of the Sun.

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.

What makes me feel peaceful ?
Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat every other day makes me feel peaceful.
A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts down feels peaceful
Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees for company makes me feel peaceful.
Meditative moments especially at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.
Painting and dancing without an agenda, on my own, whenever I wish to, makes me feel peaceful.
But most of all…
Living in the now, without too many expectations makes me peaceful ✌️
What makes you feel peaceful?

And sometimes when things don’t go as planned
May be you have been saved from some unknown obstacle
May be it wasn’t the right time
May be its all for the better.

Sit down with your feelings
Like a good friend
Listen to it to understand
What it conveys to you
It works out for you.
Your emotions are not your enemy
They are your vent
They are your support systems
For the body to feel at ease
Be a good friend to you
And your emotions will thank you
As you thank them.

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 …

It’s the way of love, to accept and allow
It’s the way of love, to empower with hope
It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life.
It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.
For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.

Watching this papaya tree grow in our garden gives me great joy. Nature has so much wisdom to offer if we take time to reflect on it.
Love how the tiny little shoots are protected and nurtured by an umbrella of more mature leaves until they are ready to face the sun on their own…

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!

When there is authentic effort
When the intentions are expansive
And the purpose stronger together
In the journey of life
Dreams take roots to realize itself.
Seeds to trees
Trees to forest
Barren lands turn fertile greens
Salute to this inspiring couple who created a forest out of barren land.
Together they have planted more than 2000 trees… Do read more…

A shift in perspective
In feeling thankfulness
In sensing appreciation
In seeing the glass half full than half empty
In seeing the sunny side of things than as partly cloudy
The way of seeing is a choice in our hands
Natural involuntary effects
An increase in dopomine
Sense of satisfaction
A boost in sertonin
Feeling of positivity
A practice of seeing all things with a positive attitude makes life more meaningful
Gratitude makes us recognize and value things we already have even more. That is how it brings a sense of abundance.
Seeing the positive side, focusing on the good in life journaling regularly and being thankful
Every day a practice of gratitude could include a variety of things that may feel right to you.
And of course you will have unexpected serendipitous moments that you can’t help feeling grateful for…
Today morning as I stepped to my terrace garden I saw a beautiful squirrel enjoying the food bowl and water bowl I have placed on the ledge there for birds. I watched with joy and happiness as this little guy munched and munched.
Feeling grateful for a great start my day… Feeling thankful the squirrel is feeding. Hope he is able to feed here every day.
Gratefulnness is a beautiful attitude with lasting effects through the day. Cultivate the attitude of Gratitude.

You create a beautiful whole…
Here is why…
The core of particle physics
The truths of sacred geometry
The essence of prayer
The logics of yogic systems
The dynamics of integration
The beliefs of ancient wisdom.
The cosmic interconnects
Creation to destruction
Birth to regeneration
Order to disorder
Chaos to resurrection
Stillness & movements
Balance & harmony
Time , space & distance
All is a matter of energy.
The observer effects the observed.
All of life, the sun & the stars
The universe you are in
You are because they are
They are because you are.
Understand as an observer
You are playing a part
What you do with it
Is a choice in free will
The choice is with you.

Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.
Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.
As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.
Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.
At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.
What are your experiences with music?
When was the last time you heard your favorite songs?
When did you do something creative while listening to music?
