Our vibrance

Our universe is full of waves of energy. And all life is energy in varied forms .

In the subatomic level all is vibrational and moving .We are all pulsating oceans of energy fields. This very waves of energy is what makes us unique as we are in ourselves and in the way we interact with one another.

Sometimes these waves of energy are seemingly stagnant and at times moving in momentous speed.

Life is full of vibrations. Sometimes you sense its brilliance and at other times it is so subtle and subjective to our level of understanding at that point in life. Yet there are reasons for why you emit the vibrations that you do. And it’s all interconnected.

From the food, you eat your choices have a way of influencing your body and your body affects the way you feel and think.

Our thoughts have much to do with our emotions and thus the behaviour of every cell is affected in a relational way to another.

Some simple ways to raise your positive vibrations…

Walk outdoors

Smile and laugh more

Spend time in nature

Have a hobby

Support a cause

Exercise, dance & play

Listen to soothing music

Eat vegetables and fruits

Drink adequate water

Think well for one and all!

And most of all

Love life and live it lovingly!

MY SOUL HAS A HAT

Today am sharing a Poem by Mario de Andrade (San Paolo 1893-1945) Poet, novelist, essayist and musicologist.
One of the founders of Brazilian modernism.

All the Images are curated by me.

MY SOUL HAS A HAT

I counted my years
& realized that I have
Less time to live by,
Than I have lived so far.

I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first he ate them with pleasure
But when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely.

I have no time for endless meetings
where the statutes, rules, procedures & internal regulations are discussed,
knowing that nothing will be done.

I no longer have the patience
To stand absurd people who,
despite their chronological age,
have not grown up.

My time is too short:
I want the essence,
my spirit is in a hurry.
I do not have much candy
In the package anymore.

I want to live next to humans,
very realistic people who know
How to laugh at their mistakes,
Who are not inflated by their own triumphs
& who take responsibility for their actions.
In this way, human dignity is defended
and we live in truth and honesty.

It is the essentials that make life useful.
I want to surround myself with people
who know how to touch the hearts of those whom hard strokes of life
have learned to grow with sweet touches of the soul.

Yes, I’m in a hurry.
I’m in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.
I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts.

I am sure they will be exquisite,
much more than those eaten so far.
My goal is to reach the end satisfied
and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience.

We have two lives
& the second begins when you realize you only have one. 😊😊

The above poem poses some truths of life as it evolves .

  • The value of it increases in time. In knowing there are lesser years ahead life increases in value.
  • Priorities change .You may begin to realize what matters more to you.
  • You start to question what you are doing with life and how you spend your life .
  • You choose to live with intentions if you haven’t already done so before.
  • Most importantly peace of mind and a clear conscience is what you seek to have in the evening stage of life.

While the need to transform life from mundane to meaningful may be common to humans…

I wonder how many people actually feel this way and when do such thoughts and musings begin to occur? Does age or occupation have much to do with these reflections? Is it possible to cultivate a attitude of values much earlier and how?

How much does nature and nurture influence your perspectives in life.

Do share your thoughts.

I am there by you

All of my creation

I hold dearly

In the palm of my hands.

I am your anchor

When you set sail.

 

I am there

To weather your storms.

So, sail on, dear child

As the cool winds blow.

 

Dare to explore

As much as you dream.

Your life is here

In this now.

 

Live it fully

With both hands, if you wish,

For I am there

To hold you

If you ever fall.

Keep the faith,

Trust and believe.

All is wonderful

When you truly do.

Faith is all there is

Without it, nothing is.

Lessons in the living

Lessons are all around

If we care to imbibe

Wisdom of nature

Teaches much on life and living.

Learning is a choice we make…

In witnessing in conformity

In wanting to wonder in awe or curiosity

In wishing to unravel the mystery

In wanting to understand it all in simplicity.

Life gives lessons in the living

Sometimes abruptly without warning

And other times gradually in patience

Life is in the experiencing it all…

The dual nature of being

The facets visible in the living

The facades in the making

All matter in the grand plan

Of the Source in the creating

Time tells all in the evolving.

Choose the path of patience

Choose the path of faith

Choose the path of perseverance

Choose the path of trust

All is well as it is meant to be!

SPHERES OF INFINITY

Powers beyond comprehension,

Core strength beyond speculation,

Understanding an ever-evolving expansion

Of an intelligence without limitation,

Spheres and circles of energies

Dancing in suspended vibrations

In the infinity of time and space,

All a wonder of divine manifestation.

Profound projections,

Flashes of brilliance,

Resounding resonances,

Defining and redefining

Swirling life in a concoction

Of myriad manifestations,

Each seemingly independent

Yet deeply interwoven.

Circles of life,

Creative enigma at best.

Ordained in the flow

Are these Spheres of Infinity.

Embodying the light

Just for this now…

Keep away assumptions,

Move beyond self-absorption,

Steer clear of judgement

And ease up in acknowledgement.

Just for this now…

Stay still enough to understand

The dance of life as it unfolds;

Step to the beat of the distant drums;

Listen and move to the cosmic rhythms.

Just for this now…

Dwell in the spirit of this moment;

Let go of what needs to go in the giving;

Allow the flow in the receiving.

Just for this now…

Sense the truth that is eternal;

Know there is much beyond;

Fathom the mystic of this moment;

Live this life lovingly!

Beautiful Soul

Beautiful soul

Where art thou?

Hidden amidst

Illusions in the reflections

Mirroring through the dimensions

Magnitude of your brilliance.

Beautiful soul

Thou owns the key

To know yourself

Reach beyond your limitations

Trusting your intuitions

Exploring the truth of your potential.

Sense the truth of your being

Reflect in the light of your possibilities

Unfurl the wings and fly free

Your beautiful life awaits!

Birthing Creativity

On chaos and order in birthing creativity!

Chaos is a precursor to order
It is the law of nature
Disorder and order are cyclical
All a matter of generation and regeneration.

Yet in all these complexities
There is a spark of simple brilliance
As in the flux of nature there is always
a stillness of consistency
Of interdependence in the interconnectedness

To accept change as a given
Creates an acceptance of a flow
Bringing forth new frontiers
In perspectives and ideas
Allowing ease of the flow.

The truth of creativity
Is that it is infinite and expansive
It is free flowing without fixation
It is boundless and unique.

Acknowledging the chaos as much as the order
As they are and meant to be….
Creates a conducive environment
For the birth of new creativity.

Engaging with this now!

Knowledge speaks

Wisdom listens.

Almost to invisibility in subtlety

Humility blends

And becomes nothingness.

Transporting the self to spaces beyond

Transcending what seems impossible.

Sensing the vibration in between

And living life in every now!

Knowing the value in the ordinary

Letting the unnecessary go

Being alive to the present

Acknowledging everything that is as it is

Engaging with this now intensely!

Energy equilibrium

We are made of matter.
Matter is filled with energy
Our life is full of changes
Manifesting itself in so many ways.

Sometimes these very changes
In our lives bring out
Redistribution of our energy
Creating a lack or overflow of energy.

Our life patterns can cause a rift
Between thoughts and action
Between emotions and behavior
Emerging in imbalances

Yet we are each at our best
When we have our unique mix of energy
A concoction suitable to our nature
In proportions of sublime precision

As we give we receive
In receiving there is giving
To balance and counterbalance
The emerging inadequacies

All a matter of movements
That heal in the doing
That restore our spirit
And align with our soul.

This dance of chaos and order
Balance and imbalance
Are part of the same source
Maintaining our energy equilibrium

On Spaces (Part I)

From time immemorial
Existence equaled spaces
Life equated space as a given
All a matter of life and death.

Our history is a witness
Of the story of spaces
Fought for, on and upon
Mauraded or harvested

The mystic and majesty
Lies in the significance of spaces
Spaces breathed and birthed
Spaces nurtured in nature

Spaces in and around us
Breathtaking magnificent
Stark manifestations
Of ground realities

Spaces in time eternal
Spaces bygone
And yet to be encountered
Spaces lived and loved

Spaces taken for granted
Spaces usurped and owned
Spaces pursued and protected
Spaces encroached and freed.

Gratitude to the powers that are
In the spaces between
The two words, two beings or two breaths
Between stillness and movement.

Life and living

Yesterday evening as I went out walking I couldnt help notice the stark reality that stares at us . In people around us!

Often find there are more grim faces out in the world with tension written all over in their body language.

A serious disposition, drooping shoulders downward or vacant gaze, clenched teeth or fist , tight jaw. People think twice before smiling or making eye contact.

Or on the other extreme… every one these days seems more connected to their mobiles than ever. And when they are asked to come back to reality there is a gap in awareness. People are overwhelmed by this divide that is happening all around us.

Life need not be overwhelming all the time. Perhaps a few personal perspectives need a shift.

Life and living

Life is easier when

  • You make friends with your past.
  • You realize you create happiness.
  • You stop your overthinking.
  • You realize time heals it all.
  • You live and let live.
  • Your avoid passing judgements.
  • You begin to start smiling more.

Would be happy to hear more of what makes life easier for you…Do feel free to share of what you think can make life easy!

Soulful Reflections

The greatest depths is the soul within ….a spark of the divine!
As one deepens the focus inwards in a journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

A few ways to deepen self awareness

  • Question your thoughts but try and be nonjudgemental.
  • Check your actions and deeds in mindfulness
  • Improve and keep inspiring the self.
  • Let go the holding back and allow nature to manifest its flow
  • Own up to a beginner’s mind and keep your sense of wonder alive!

Your intentions in your journey makes your choices along the way. All manifests as your intentions are.

On choices

“Many paths present itself.
Every path is infinite in possibilities.
The question is are we ready to walk the path?
And how we evolve, walking the path of choice?”
