Let the seasons be…

If a day could be wrapped in a minute

If a year could be tucked in a season

Life would happen too fast

With no time to simply be

Life would be one rushed affair

Wish nothing in a hurry

Let the days be, to dare

Let the nights be to rest anew

Let the flowers bloom in hope

And let the leaves rustle in the wind

Let the seasons come by

All in good time

For you and for me.

And life goes on

Image Credits  Social Media forward

What was freshness of springtime

Matures with the changing seasons

At times hot dry or humid  summers makes life unbearable

Soon the downpour of rains flood the parched land with greens

Another autumn as orange rust leaves renew themselves

Winter chills brings it’s own white snow at will

Trees bereft of leaves lay bare their dark branches

Awaiting for another change  of season.

And life goes on…

Acknowledge Accept Know

Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses  Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.

Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding.
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…

Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.

Know…
Every thing life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon.

Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for life in the soul.

Everything Connects

This morning a refreshing conversation with my mother triggered a series of thoughts on different directions in Hindu Scriptures.

Usually there are eight directions depicted in any compass.

She shared how there are ten mentioned directions in  the Hindu scriptures and named each of  them.  Besides the four cardinal and four ordinal directions it’s interesting to note the two additional directions are Urdhva the  highest point symbolizes by creator (Brahma) Zenith and Adhah  the opposite represented by (Vishnu) the preserver, which call the Nadir.

It was intriguing to note how these preordained guardians of our galaxies play a significant role in Astrology and Cosmology with  insights on how everything connects in life and living.

I started researching further trying to understand more. I came across this interesting share…

Read

‘It’s quite intriguing to note how much effort our ancestors put into demystifying the elements of nature & their impact on us,’

I highlighted this line in the above informative article, because the more you learn of this vast ocean of scriptures you realise there is another horizon of understanding that beckons. 

But one thing leads to another…

And that’s how the path of learning grows. And everything connects….

On Trust & Delegation

Delegation and trust go hand in hand.

Why delegate work, when you can do it on your own. Because it is common sense that with growth, work increases you will need people to get things done. And without trusting people, you cannot build a team that you can trust. A huge part of delegation is about being accountable to get the  work done well.

Successful delegation empowers a team.  It is about finding the right person or team for the job. Mastering the art of delegation is rewarding in the long term for it develops and builds skills enhances productivity. It validates the values of  collaboration and trust to the team hence improves the attitude at work in a team.

Moreover it improves the time management not only for you but  for the team and the organisation thereby increasing productivity and this can help find balance in professional work and  personal life.

Do you delegate with the right attitude and for the right reasons?

Breath well

Take a moment in this now

Check out for yourself

Do you breathe deep or shallow?

Deep breathing eases you

Shallow breathing stresses you

If you breath reaches your navel

You are breathing deep

If your breath reaches the chest

You are breathing shallow.

Our fast paced world is stressful

Deep breathing helps destress.

The science of the breath

Is a dance of awareness

Of the subtlety of power

As much as its strength.

Your own breathing patterns

Changes the energy in & around u.

Your life force energy

Shifts and alters perspectives.

All is a matter of energy

What matters most is the energy

You choose to create.

And the intention behind it.

Start with your breath…

Take a deep breath, breathe well.

On Respect & Inclusion

When you are in a position of influence especially as a coach, a trainer you are responsible to aid the development and building up of life. From the  life coaching perspective there are many humane standards that help reach the set goals.

As a coach, respect and inclusion  are significant  for the success of your coaching. It is important to  show  ‘Respect’ not only for individual  or team you are coaching by being unbiased and empathic of their abilities,  but also for your time and effort as well as respect for the reason and need for coaching .

As for inclusiveness, without it you cannot build rapport as a coach. Inclusion is also about being attentive and open minded of diverse perspectives and opinions.

Over the decades, coaching  individuals and groups as a Dance Educator & Trainer,and a Life Coach, I have had varied experiences of how being inclusive, empathic, open minded to listen and understand, sharing mutual respect has made a positive impact on the coaching process.

Both respect and inclusion can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those you coach.

What do you think? Do share.

Music & Creativity

Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.

Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.

As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.

Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.

At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.

What are your experiences with music?

When was the last time you heard your favorite songs?

When did you do something creative while listening to music?

The Power of You

Little do you know of what you truly are…

Infact you are not privy to the powers vested in you.

Your Creator your Source Coder

Manifested you from infinite intelligence.

You have a heart to love and feel

You have the strength of your mind.

You have the power of choice and will

You have ability to visualize your intentions.

You can make your life good and empower others to live well.

Your challenges, your doubts your insecurities,

Are water under the bridge

If you really care to see…

You are more than enough to take on the world.

For you were meant to survive and thrive

Many a solar cycles in your lifetime.

Trust in every cell of your being

You are meant to be

All that you truly can be…

Stay hopeful and empower yourself and others

For hope is here to stay…

Stay on…

And always remember

To acknowledge the’ Power of You’

On Speaking

An essential skill in any job that requires talking & handling people is speaking well and communicating effectively.

Handling challenging questions during a speech can be effectively managed by  a few  practical and strategic ways using conflict resolution techniques.
Get yourself some time to think by
practicing listening actively when a question comes up and then repeating  it in your own words to check if you have clarity on what is asked.
Acknowledge the questions with empathic voice and body language can  ease and reduce tensions and help  build the flow of  communication.
Get yourself back into the arena
by reframing the questions to align with your context.
Using an assertive voice shows command over the context.

Always remembering the goal is not to score a point but or win an argument but to build and sustain a positive and respectful connection.

Sustain yourself

How much of you do you give in any relationship?

Today I am sharing a thought Provoker. This came as a social media forward. But it was thought worthy and I do have a few questions as well.

Speaking of relationships, have you felt drained out beyond compare?

Instead of feeling energetic after an interaction or a conversation, have you felt like when will it end?

When was the last time you felt a little too empty?

Do you stop giving, if you feel it is an unequal relationship and you feel pulled from all directions or due to habit or situation you continue to give as you do?

If you are a giver by nature, can you actually stop yourself at all?

It’s truly important to acknowledge your emotions and feelings. It helps to know your energy shifts.

A Stringed Existence

There is a lot of inextricable strings of emotions linked to relationships but if you are constantly feeling drained out and exhausted when with certain people, perhaps you need to check if you have over invested yourself. Be it in career as a workaholic or in family where your sense of self is feeling lost.

You have one life & it is your life…

Pause and take a breather and set yourself back on course.

While there are many kinds of people you meet. And it is really OK to be extra helpful, and give the best you can. In fact it energizes abundance to manifest in life… For when you give from a spring well of kindness, nature sets in motion, a share of kindness back to you in its own time.

Yet like many are energy givers, there are many energy takers. Often unknown to themselves they behave in a way that saps anothers energy when they are around you.

Do remember who ever you are with… Giving more or less will not have value. For less is not fulfilling and more is just excess and will never be utilised. But will certainly tilt your balance for sure.

In your actions too, exercise this wisdom and you will find yourself in a good space.

And most of all…

Choose your tribe well. It makes all the difference.

Choose well

Choose well
You are way better, way more,
Than what you think & understand of you.
There is much that only you can choose to do.
Choose to live your life lovingly!
Choose to be purposeful!
Choose empathy than criticism.
Choose self respect and freedom to be.

The faster you understand yourself And accept being who you truly are,
And choose to better yourself to be the best version of yourself…
The closer you are to being truly happy!
