Hear to be heard

Hear to be heard
Value to be valued
Acknowledge.

It makes a world of difference in a ‘ever busy world’ that’s always checking time.
Giving time and energy to understand another with empathy will help shift perspectives for the better.

Handling Difficult People

If ever you are in a position where you are hurt and helpless and want to help yourself out of this situation  check on your own behavior

Are you speaking and sharing   more than you should?

Are you over explaining and try to match up to anothers expectations and not valuing your own strengths?

Are you defending yourself  when the other person  refuses to understand  anothers perspective?

Are you too sensitive and taking things personally  when actually  the source of the issues or the problem is not you at all?

Often  it is self awareness that is the first step towards bettering your life.

A self check to see your reactions  is definitely a way to improving  how you handle and manage difficult people in life.

Tbe way to make life favorable  to you , is in living as if all is rigged in  your favor.

Crack of light

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…

Where light enters in hope!

There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks   are where light shines through  , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose. 
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

Thoughtworthy

Here’s a thoughtworthy share

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.

“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”

So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year
❤️

Happy New Year 2025

Wishing and intending  for wonderful New year ahead…

On Intentions  and Actions

Whenever we want or intend for something  we must also be ready to do something  about it.

Here are few ‘Wants ‘and Intentions and what one can to do about it.

If you want happiness  try making another happier.

True joy comes to you when you serve another.

Serve yourself  some laughter if you want your spirit to feel free.

Fill your day with Gratitude whenever you are looking  for Abundance.

And if you want friendship to manifest  in life why not start by being your own best friend.

If you are searching for love why not begin to love your self ♥️

Also, choose to take a walk in nature if you are intending for some more insightful  perspectives .

I for one can vouch for the creative ideas and reflections that a simple walk brings to me.

Have a beautiful  blessed

New  year 2025

Live life lovingly!

Empowered 

We are parts of the same whole

Pieces of the same puzzle

We are entwined and embedded

In each other’s existence

No one can do it all alone

In acknowledgement of this truth

In thanking  the learnings

In respecting the value of life

In gratitude for the support

From others, we open ourselves

To the empowering strength

In the interconnects.

Grace of the Sun

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.

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.

Feeling peaceful

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?

All for the better

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.

To emote is to heal

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.

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 …
