Rhythm that grounds you

Music speaks

Tunes us from within

With melody,lyrics, beats

And through it all 

Is the rhythm

That drives home

A strong rhythm

Makes itself felt

In every cell of being.

Speaking of strength of rhythm, many songs comes to mind but today the music I choose to share about is a spiritual one that immediately engages your attention and how… it will ground you as much as it makes you move in simply listening to it.

I am speaking about the Ganapathy Talam.

Here is a beautiful energetic rendition

You can listen to my full episode The Rhythm That Grounds You on my podcast Path of Clarity,  it is a personal take on this magnetic piece of music.

And speaking of rhythm, do feel free share your favourite  piece of rhythm as well.

Calm in the flow

On Gravitating With Grace

Listen

If something seems smooth in its flow
There is also chaos somewhere


If something feels certain and precise
There are also probabilities across the spectrum
Of ambiguity.


If time feels flexible enough to warp and bend at will
There is also uniformity of timing in the rigidity like the ticking clock.

Yet, in the weight and the gravity of situations
Floats the other side, the whimsical truths…
Seemingly clashing
With the greatest of minds
And their proposed theories of science.


Balancing both ends
Is the fascia  of existence that strings it all…
Question remains not
If gravity is pulling or pushing.
But that it is gravitating with grace
On its own,
Causing the calm in the flow…

Art of the flow

A gentle reminder

Of flowing gracefully in resilience.

River flows

Beside and beyond

The rocks.

In quiet perseverance

Meet not force with force.

It is futile and destructive.

Meet force with fluidity and  flexibility,

In quiet perseverance.

In adaptability than rigidity.

For even brute force buckles in time.

Its all connected

The sun and moon

We see from afar

Have much to do with us

Influencing our way of life

Our nature and deeds 

Our dreams and destiny

Even the stars in the sky

In that moment we were born.

Time is a circle

And its truly wonderful to know

It’s all deeply connected.

Smile from the heart!

It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.

There is a lot in life to be thankful for .

Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

Preciousness Of Now

What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as  a human after the storm ?


It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.

Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self

And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.

On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.

As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

#Life Life Lovingly ❤️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from  my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.

Her  comment made me  stop and think of how much  even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.

Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

Where does this moment take you?

If you could turn the key to a door  that opens up to a place  somewhere right now…

Where does your imagination  take you?

Near mountains

Near water sources

Green spaces

Or spiritual spaces

Or somewhere where your  heart is calling out?

What is your favourite kind of place?

Or is your desire to stay 

Wherever you are,

Stronger than anything else?

Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness

In the middle of hectic days…

For the quietness of calm.

And sometimes amidst silence

There is much going on…

The mind is steering the wheel

Both movement  and stillness

Are part of the journey.

And the desire to drive on

Explore discover the world

And what it has to offer

Is something that happens

To evolve every life.

Hopefulness


Calm eyes and ears

Resting and recovering

From relentless chaos

Blowing in the wind…

Seeing only a trickle of light

And sound from nature in harmony.

To energize in hope once more.

What Sustains Humanity?

Nature of humans.

Nurtured in love.

Seeding compassion

Watered in hope.

Reared in kindness.

Strengthened in trustfulness.

Rooted in connectedness

Fortified in faith.

Sustains humanity.

The Gift Of Change

Here I share one of my own paintings and a personal  favorite fron my collection.
Savvy Raj

In the vortex of life

arrives the gift of changes;

the breaking of the bubbles,

Of long held beliefs,

Of false ego and resistance

Of fear that limits.

Like the wind that’s too fierce  to contain…

Cleaning the cobwebs of confusion.

And life transforms for the better.

Are you healthy and heard?

Life is a series of interconnections.The conversations and dialogues make life meaningful.

Life is meant to be expressed and experienced.You are healthier as you speak create love and listen.And you are even healthier if you feel heard. Being heard and understood feels like a boost for the body mind & spirit.

The cost of loneliness is a heavy price to pay.And so is the cost being ignored, undervalued, humiliated.And  equally heavy is the price of indifference.

When voices are minimized and presence dismissed, the direct effects are loneliness and isolation.The body remembers and reacts to the rejection showing up in symptoms and diseases, for the emotional walls manifests itself in inexplicable ways…

Restoring the sense of self is about creating sharing opportunities fornot just personal expression but about being heard & feeling understood.

It’s not about  the space we occupy, but the life we live.

The conversations & dialogues we have,

The learnings & understanding we share

Makes life meaningful in the interactions.

Life cannot be contained in a vacuum.

We are healthier in expression

Life is not just to exist but to  to lived.

Such is the truth of life.

To express & create

To speak &  listen

Is to bridge the gaps

Healing one another

In inclusion that we matter.

Creating belonging & restoration of wellbeing

Shielding hearts in health

And a sense of community.

Such is the power of health in feeling heard .

Truth of Nature

Rain

It is the nature of rain
To wash away the dust
Until it’s clean and green.
Yet, too much rain
Floods and destroys.
Such is the truth of nature.


Each element of nature
Is balanced with the other.
The dry lands help sustain the wetlands…
One supports another
To sustain and thrive.
Such is the truth of nature.


Desert


Desert sand blows in the wind…
Winds carry the dust
Across the world,
Over lands and water,
Finding new settlements.


The truth of nature
Is the interconnections.
The kind that keeps us alive,
The kind we may not realize,
The kind we need to emulate
In this now and for our future,
To survive and thrive.

Just think…

If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.

Todays freeverses are inspirations that arrived  from contemplations with Anjana, my dear mother.
