5 steps to Self Care.

Feeling Enmeshed?

1Are you feeling enmeshed in life and living?

2 Do you feel you are often taken for granted?

3Are you feeling you are giving more than you are receiving?

4Are you trying to do more than you actually can?

5Are you feeling criticized for everything good you do?

6Are your kind and benevolent intentions disrespected by your loved ones?

7Are you feeling threatened into submission?

8Are you feeling tightened by your own net of people whom you love?

9Are you gasping to breathe free?

10 Are you feeling a loss of control and confidence in daily life?

If you have answered more yes than no then chances are you are truly enmeshed and need help.

You need to redefine boundaries and clarify your stance.

Often creating boundaries is confused with being unapproachable and seen to be controlling and limiting.

But often it is about creating a space for the self, as much as to draw a line for others so that they dont tread all over you.

Caring for the self matters and one can be empowering and empathetic at the same time.

So it is important to know your needs matters and that it is not necessary to say yes to every thing and every one. You need to to learn to take a stance and set your boundary that allows another to respect your being.

Only when you establish your stance you create healthy boundaries for others to take you seriously and not take advantage of your kindness.

It is important to know where you end and another begins.Then you learn to be in relationships and yet be yourself fully as you are and not full of yourself.

Expanding your sense of self can be challenging as well. Simply understand all of life is valuable in it’s own special way including you . In respecting life and living you convey the value and responsibility of mutual coexistence.

5 Steps to gaining control of your life begins with you.

1.Know you are alive and not simply existing.

2. Be assertive but not arrogant

3. Be confident and speak with clarity.

4. Remember your purpose in life and communicate.

5. Build on your strengths to thrive.

Finding a friend…

Do you work yourself too hard, Searching for a friend
Fear not, for there are many sailing in the same boat.
Finding a friend in another
Is seeing a mutual joy of being
With one another whatever the interest
In seeing not necessarily eye to eye
But sensing the heart to heart in life and living.

Blessed are you to receive a true friendship
And the onus is on you to truly appreciate it.
For no matter the years, friendship never die
If there is value for the friendship

Treasure the blessing of a good friend.
Nurture the relationship the best you can.
Have spaces in your togetherness
So that you gather life experiences to muse upon.

A good friend listens and speaks from the heart and mind.
A true friendship is often blatant to the point of being brutally honest.
All for the sake of evolving for the better
And such are the friendships that withstand the test of time.

Finding friends is wonderful

But staying friends makes all the difference.

Smile🙂

Smile no matter what
As you are truly meant to
Everything aligns in time
As it is meant to!

Smile and keep the cheer on
For it gives you strength
To face your fears head on
And you know you can beat the odds

Smile but make sure…
To smile from the heart
For it keeps your heart happy
Your body is at ease

Smile touching base with authenticity
Allow your eyes show its crinkles
Let your words express yourself
Sense the joy of a simple smile.

Keep smiling keep living
Live life lovingly
Smile whenever you can
Your smile will lighten
Up the moment for sure.

Remember smiling is easy
It’s not too hard to put out a smile
Even in your darkest days
When you smile you feel good

And create a positive impact.

Make sure to think well and be nice
For thoughts change with just a smile
So curve your lips upwards right now
And send out a smile to the world. 🙂

Importance Of Play

‘It’s a happy talent to know how to play’ Emerson

Importance of play

Playfulness creates a reason to live

It makes you alive to life

It keeps you agile and motivated

It is an all round fitness for all.

Age and gender no matter

Play is important to life and living.

It has many expressions

Whether it is wordplay

In humour and wit

Whether it is laughter that eases tension

Or good old moves from dancing in the free flow.

Play is a natural action

that creates well being

Play up to life.

Make life feel like play

Before life plays you!

On Thinking Thoughts

Thinking is open to possibilities
Thought is already channelled
To be fair and square
Thinking is about the now
Emerging in this moment.

Thought is the past
Over and done.

Yet every thought matters
As it may enable new ways of thinking…
And so it goes

Until these loops form a pattern
And hit a sweet spot of light
Illuminating a new path way!

Mysterious Manuscript

The content has reference to many subjects including herbal medicine, botany, astronomical, biological, cosmological and pharmaceutical sections including a section with recipes.

The manuscript has been kept at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University since 1969. It’s named after Wilfrid Michael Voynich, the Polish book dealer who purchased it from a Jesuit library in Italy in 1912. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century, and it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance.

Like its contents, the history of ownership of the Voynich manuscript is contested and filled with some gaps. The codex belonged to Emperor Rudolph II of Germany (Holy Roman Emperor, 1576-1612), who purchased it for 600 gold ducats and believed that it was the work of Roger Bacon.

(Source Wikipedia)

Likewise to this manuscript…
There are many mystical truths
That exists around us undecoded
Some lost in translations, undeciphered
Some beyond our understandings still.
The truth is right here
For us to figure out in time.

Positive Energy

Every move you make
Alters energy in space
Creating new patterns
Attracting vibrations
Shifting perspectives.

In conscious awareness
Our positive gestures
Begin to give and receive
Balancing subtle currents

Influencing cosmic rhythms

Activating harmony fields

Increasing love hope and joy
Spreading peace and contentment.

Integrating elements

Imbuing divinity in motion.

Gift of intuition

Grateful to intuit.
For the answers tumble through you
The path breaks through in the trusting
Until the way becomes you.

A sense of intuition is a gift
We all have it within us
Sometimes it propels you to it gently.
At other times it compels you to conform.

A substantial force in subtlety of being.
It is our spirit guide that moves with us
Follows through in ways we cannot fathom
In a knowing (in the gut) of wisdom across lifelines beyond lifetimes.

What matters most is our tuning inward To our well of wisdom in the listening.
Thankful for the master guide within.
In deep gratitude for this gift in the journey of life.

A Connected Life

This year I celebrate my five years of being and serving as a Member of International Dance Council UNESCO

Sharing a note I wrote 5 years ago…

Honoured to be nominated as an official Member of the International Council of Dance UNESCO. It’s the official umbrella organization for all forms of dance in all countries of the world. Its members are the most prominent federations, associations, schools, companies and individuals in over170 countries.

Have to certainly add that back in the 1960’s it was a visiting delegation from UN that had come to India who had got my dear father interested in learning these International Dances and later on teaching these dances as a hobby and now after all these years as his daughter, to have been certified by CID UNESCO I am touched indeed to say the least.

Thank you Dad for sharing with me this Magic of Dance. I am truly grateful that our simple dream of sharing the joy of Dancing by not only training people to dance but also specialising in applications of dance in holistic wellbeing through Dance Concepts, has been nominated to join UNESCO CID.

It surely connects the dots into a beautiful circle.

The prospect of working under the guidance of this phenomenal institution gives one unbelievable new strengths.

Learning to dance is indeed a ‘labour of love’ and I cherish every moment. How privileged we are to share this indescribable ‘magic of dance.’

Hoping to take the art of Dance to empower more and more people to sense and love the beauty of every movement in the moments called Life.

Age No Bar

To dance is to get in touch with yourself.

To dance is to express yout own sense of rhythm.

To dance is to move from all of your heart.

To dance is to connect with the inner child within.

To dance is so much more than the moves you do, it is to tune into your own being.

To dance is to explore and express the connect you feel within you.

Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.

Age is no bar to learn to dance !

Profound stories

Talk of profundity in brevity.
So much can be said in a few words.
Came across this very brief but thought provoking read and felt like sharing . Have interspersed them with a few relevant pictures.

8 micro short stories, with deep meanings!

(1) Those who had coins, enjoyed in the rain. Those who had notes, were busy looking for shelter.

(2) Man and God both met somewhere. Both exclaimed, “My creator.”

(3) He asked, are you a Hindu or Muslim? The response came, “I am hungry”!

(4) The fool didn’t know it was impossible. So he did it.

(5) “Wrong number,” Said a familiar voice.

(6) What if God asks you after you die, “So how was heaven?”

(7) They told me that to make her fall in love I had to make her laugh. But every time she laughs, I am the one who falls in love.”

(8) We don’t make friends anymore…. We Add them nowadays..

The whirling wisdom

In the gaze
Between nowhere and somewhere
Half opened eyes
Focussing within
Finding the sense of balance
In the inner recesses
Of the spirit and soul

Juxtaposed between
The art of the moves
Is the rhythm divine
That manifests the flow.
Subliming the Souls calling

Knowing the wisdom
Of the whirling moves
That centers
The mind spirit and body
All rolling into one
In the state of flow
A divinity in motion.

The truth by far
Is within us to find
Every truth unravelled
Conveys the wholeness
Of the harmonious flow
Each truth is sufficient
For the being to know.
