In the serenity of silence,
Sense the wisdom within!
Emoting in the stillness
To align with your being
A little more in every now.
Breathe and just be…

Build Bridges
Time evolves one and all, come what may.
Yesterday’s mountains have become paths today
Love of life will show the way
As you keep building bridges not walls I say.

A day of silence
~ Silence ~
A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.
A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
In marvelous lute and drum.
Is not most talking
A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?
I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,
To yield to Light and Happiness,
To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
~ Hafiz ~
Be silent and sense the stillness
A million moves may be more
Are manifesting in this now
Hear the music unfold its rhthym
Be still and sense the moves
For stillness is full of movements
In the depth of Silence
We witness the dance within.

Ways of Nature
I came across a very unique post on Social media…that I want to share here today…
Someone collected these tree branches and called them Nature’s dance” ❤️
Artwork : Chris Kenny – Dancing twigs
If you actually want to see
You will see the Dance of Nature
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …I bow
In Gratitude to this Grace
Savvy
Already there…
Who is there when there is no one to turn to?
Who is there to bear it all?
Who is there to help you back on track?
Who is your trustworthy ally ?
Its you and only you.
Truly …
Everything you need is already inside you!
This one line is a wonderful boost to bring an awareness back of the strength within us all.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Savvy
All in good faith!
The power that creates
The omnipresence
Is all knowing consciousness
That is there to take care
All of creation
Cannot be without a reason
Trust the purpose
Keep the faith
Faith is all there is
Without faith nothing is

Passion & Perseverance
Have you ever wondered
What is it on your path
That makes you persevere
Like no tommorow
To keep giving all of you…
Something that is on the fringes
Something tangible and yet intangible
It is that which sparks you up
Nothing feels unbearable
Its as if your mind body & soul
Is finally integrated in the sensing
Of the brilliance at work
Beyond yourself.
You will know that when you meet
The purpose of your being
At some point in your life perhaps
In the most unexpected of ways
You will find in yourself
An energy summoned from within
To reckon with to persevere on.
Such is the dance of abundance
Of creation at play
Making life resonate to its cosmic ways…

Truth is Power
The power is in the truth
Where truth is nothing dares
Such is the nature of truth
That whatever ways it is submerged
It always gets unearthed
And yet interestingly its often said…
The opposite of the great truth
Is also truth!
Such is the circle of life.

Tap Into The Inner Wisdom
Our guiding voice from within
Is always speaking to us
Signaling in a whisper or a sign
Conveying what is the’ Gut feel ‘
Our second brain is often ignored
But it operates nevertheless
Resonating or relegating
An advice to our being
If only we know to listen in
We draw from its bank of wisdom
And better manage our choices
In staying integrated in life & living.

Soul Enrichers
Soul Enrichers…
I do believe the journey of life, broadens the mind and brightens the spirit if we are ready to acknowledge the unfolding gifts of connections. along the way.
In my journeys across the world earlier, as a Dance Educator teaching and speaking about dance applications and approaches there have been some amazing people both in the dance circuits and otherwise,who I have had very fascinating conversations with…
I want to share a bit here about some of these beautiful people from across the world who I had a chance connect with, nothing planned,yet meeting them was truly soul enriching to say the least.
Would like to begin the first in these series of posts with Emily Berry who is now a dear friend.
Emily, the beautiful intelligent woman with an Indian Soul all the way from New York … who dances with all her heart and soul 🙂
Emily Berry is the Artistic Director of B3W Performance Group, which has performed in the US, England, Greece, and Mexico...
We met in 2014 Greece, while we were representing our own countries at the World Dance Research Congress.
In her own words…
“I strive to create a safe space for students to learn, explore, question, and become independent thinkers and movers. In technique courses, I address each individual student’s unique body in order to help them develop their technique through muscle re-patterning. Students learn anatomical awareness and tools to help them move past road blocks.
In theory, improvisation and composition courses my main goal is to help student’s find their own voice. Creating a judgment free space is essential so students are not afraid to explore new movement possibilities.”
Berry’s choreography has been tackling such issues as race, the glass ceiling, domestic violence, women in prison, and war since 1995.
Today, brought in a beautiful memory of a time when I had an amazing afternoon walk with her, while at the Acropolis museum Athens.
I remember how a shared a common love for all things dance… got us interacting post our dance workshops and rest just fell in place!
We conversed like we have known each other from years ago…
‘Beautiful places… Beautiful memories ‘💙

Art of Movement
Personally speaking, I have a deep interest in the art of movements, especially the ones that elucidate the flow… perhaps that is why I love dancing but on the other hand I have been equally captivated by the beauty of Tai chi and more so Qi Gong.
The healing energy of movement has often been a subject of deep passion, respect and research for me.
Likewise I am especially fond of the flowing Waltz as well. Since childhood, dancing comes naturally to me but have always found myself grappling to understand why martial art is even necessary.Until much later I started exploring the potency of energy in each of us…through a little introduction into Tai chi as well by conscious choice.
Allow me to present my reflections on this subject in a flow….
In a dance
There is an interconnect
Of emotion and movement
As to emote is to sense
The feeling in the flow…
In dance there is an awareness
Of moving in response
Without anticipation.
As in one step less,
The music moves on
And you are left to improvise
On how to match the steps in rhythm.
Yes, truly to dance is to enjoy the life in the moves.
In martial arts
There is flow too
But a flow that is ever in alertness,
In strategic moves and self defense
The speed and swiftness
In reaction and response.
Martial arts often feels like dance… t
But often the difference
Is between life and death.
Both are connected in the deepest sense and yet distinctive like chalk and cheese.
The intention to dance and to fight…is what differentiates.
We dance to let go, to enjoy this now and celebrate it.
In awareness is a flow that merges in harmony to synch in with now in artistry of the moves
The warrior is fighting for peace for survival against all odds
Not knowing what is the next move but yielding to the now to decipher the countermove and strike.
Here too there is often a display of extreme artistry of motion in accuracy of time.
To learn both, takes dedication and practice in patience.
But most of all is the need for relentless will & passion to persevere .
Yes, there is a dancer in a warrior
And a warrior in the dancer.
Choice rests within you.
Just remember, to dance is to live the moments and explore its most aesthetic potential in the flow… choose not to make dance a fight.
Stay joyful in peace.
To learn martial arts is to get into the arena and survive.
Attack or in self defense with least possible harm to get out of harms way to stay in peace.
Both may have their own relevance in purpose
To negate one is to look at only one half of the circle
Just as much as joy is part of life
Safekeeping the freedom to be
Is equally important in every now…
Do you want to dance in peace
Do you want to fight for peace.
Choice is yours to make
Peace or war!
Savvy.
WISDOM OF NATURE
Is the beguiling beauty of nature
Meant to have its own purpose
Afterall,everything is connected
Nothing is accidental.
However free in abandon we may feel
In this moment, we are bound
By the laws of nature
And its in these tangible connects
In being part of nature
We are deeply disturbed
By the imbalances of nature.
All of animaldom chooses harmonious
Coexistence with natures laws.
Unlike humans who try to outsmart nature and its ways.
Yet nature nourishes and nurtures itself in every now.
Such is the truth of life and living in nature.
High time to evolve with the lessons
nature shares.
Know that there is always a reason
To the way things are…
What we cannot see with our eyes
Nature of nature, emotes through our senses
Leaving the heart imprints,
Of wisdom in impressions for all of posterity…

Nature’s Wisdom
Wisdom is in the Wind
In the breeze so cool
Wisdom gently rests
Buzzing like the bee
And blows off again…
Singing the song of freedom
Hear it whistling through the rustling leaves…
Showing the vulnerability
Of the moment, now and then.
Wisdom of water is legendary
In its flow is the secret of letting go
Of peace and forgiveness
Of ease and acceptance.
Water is flexible and agile
To adapt itself along the way
Yet strong enough to persevere
And smoothen the stones
Into pebbles in the flow.
To be able to imbibe the profound
Wisdom of the wind & water
Is to know the wisdom of the flow
In knowing that you are not in the flow
But you are the flow!
Savvy
Hope blooms in my heart …
As I awaken to the bright blue sky
There is a sight for me behold across the window
Of swaying daffodils in the gentle morning breeze…
Glistening in the new morning
Are the dew crystals on its hopeful golden petals…
Drinking in the energies of dawn.
I partake the joy of this dancing flower
And my feelings take a turn
When I truly begin to believe
Hope blooms in my heart...

This above poem came from my little attempt at Magnetic poetry based on a pre set list of words from Rahuls post that served to inspire.
Here are a few words that I realized I have left from this above list… for someone else to include in a couplet or two…
Never, Keep, belong
Feel free to add a verse or two!

Thank you Rahul.🙏
All Is A Matter Of Attitude
All is a matter of attitude
We create our lives in every now
As we choose to think and be
Our lifes moment aligns itself.
As each individual life begins to see
The value of self awareness and hopefulness.
Life evolves for one and all
Better communities to nations…
We as a world, are more powerful
Than what we choose to believe …
For we are our own changemakers
War or peace is a choice we have with us.
