Life is such that it changes in every now. Recognise the little things The sweet memories from the past Popping up in your mind. As you find your self Visiting your thoughts Sense the smile it brings to you. And at other times your memory Can make you melancholic In thoughts of dreams unfulfilled Perhaps circumstances alter life. Attribute it to life Change is the only constant Trust life to deliver well Acknowledge & accept the new, Find the delightful in it. Free your mind, sense gratitude Let go preconceived notions Find joy that is awaiting you.
A writers soul emerges through the words written . A painters soul emanates from between the colours in the canvas The potters soul is afire in the fingers shaping the clay. The singers soul breathes in the sounds created by the voice. The dancers soul flows through in every movement in the moments.
The Soul is a restless wanderer It breathes free not in captivity, But in every movement of creation. It cannot be fathomed or even sensed Other than in the light of passion in the being. For then the soul shines in its own light For it has found its purpose of being.
When the going gets tough And life brings you on your knees When best laid plans are thwarted When crisis take you rock bottom When every door shuts And you turn towards hope You begin to understand life Challenges are your portals Creating pathways of change Your choices create your gateways For your own transformations
Soul knows more than you think…. Perhaps your perceptions need a new perspective. Trust your Soul It is aligning you to your purpose
Watch the window … And may be you need to pass through… Llfes uncertainties staring at your face For they toughen you up.
So see beyond what seems like a setback. Perhaps the window of opportunity is opening through them.
Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath. Thich Nhat Hanh

2. Hold for four counts
3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.
4.Again hold for four counts
5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.
As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.
The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.
