Streamlined bodies shaped succinctly
Designed to function optimally
To float and swim in the water
Such precise definitions
Of structure and shape.
Each of the maker’s manifestation
So unique and unparalleled.
Wonder what moves the creator
To create such form and function
So remarkably created!
Every life is truly magnificent
Blessed and ordained
With life’s infinite abundance
Such is the Wonder of wonders!

If you really want to educate your child
Practice empathy and encouragement
Show kindness and appreciation
Speak well of others
Listen well.
Have integrity
Be compassionate
Be humble
Be humane
Be genuine
Be honest
Be responsible
Be respectful
Be grateful
Volunteer for a cause
Live lovingly!
Whatever you do, your children learn
For they have their own mind
To think for themselves.
And they have their own path
To be themselves.
Savvy
Cage not the heart of those who dream of the yonder
Beyond the clouds over the hills
Their spirit seeks to wander.
Across the horizon, their soul belongs
Seek not to hold them
For they are way ahead of you already
Too swift are their thoughts
Too far away are their hearts
Too distant are you from them already
Not for them, the mundane chores
Not for them, the worldly spoils
Not for them, the earthly desires
Not for them the meaningless wants
Seek not to find common ground
For they have moved on way back in time
Neither in dreams or in dare
Can there be a parallel
Seek not, as your paths are not meant to cross.
Let them go, as it is meant to be.
Savvy
Soak in the serenity of silence
You can create your own calm
Stay free from strain and stress
Sense the peace within.
Inspite of the reigning chaos
Whatever happens around you
Hold on to your inner sense of calm
The solution is within you to know
Sense the peace within.
Savvy
True freedom begins…
In letting go the weights of assumptions
In moving away from false convictions
In steering clear of fear and worry
In making light of the density in wit.
In being able to pursue your path
In being able to be as you are and be who you truly are
In Freedom you are free to discover who you truly are.
Inspite of all the things that chains us
True freedom is being unshackled!
To be free from self doubts and fear.
True freedom is to respect another’s freedom as ones own.
True freedom is being able to breathe deeply and completely without interference.
Are you feeling truly free?
To be all that you are…

Happy Independence Day to all Indians all over the world!
There is always something we can learn to do…
We can learn to be more understanding and empathetic.
We can learn to be caring and not controlling.
We can learn to love than be lackadaisical of another’s needs.
We can learn to be trustful.
We can learn to believe in evolving together.
We can learn to see the wisdom in the challenges.
We can learn to trade our fears for faith.
We can learn to stop those bullying another into submission.
We can learn to live and let live.
No one owns us and we certainly do not own another.

Life is like a book
Every page may look the same
But holds a different reason to be
Every page has its own meaning.
Layered in words and symbols
Contexts that assume clarity
Once the book is read
Messages unbound itself through words.
Peel through the layers
Life stares at you in a heartbeat
All the same.
Yet pull back the layers
Mired in perceptions
Caked in personna
Smudged in ego
Made up with assumptions
Life assumes many forms
Shaping itself in the circumstances
Each unique and distinctive
In impressions and expressions.
Neither can it be replaced nor duplicated
Nature and nurture
Have their own role to play
In the circle of life
Judge not another as you are
For every life churns out
A different truth
Of it’s own existence.

Saw this the other day… I don’t know who originally wrote it but it’s brilliant
”Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line –
Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready.”
I love the power of these words.
So profoundly inspiring that I had to share.
“I choose gentleness…
Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.”
Max Lucado
Truly beautiful and I deeply appreciate the profound strength of gentleness.
Gentleness is strength of the being
Rendered with softness
It is the power of compassion
That cares to bring the truth
Correcting the tone with care
So that it is well received.
Gentle are bravehearts
Without violence.
A gentle soul intends in goodwill.
Gentleness is a way of life
The path of the gentle
May not be easy
Being gentle is a choice you make.

We are all blessed with strengths
And challenged by our weaknesses.
All in different measures.
In the dance of life and living.
The question is are we strengthening our weakness or weakening our strengths .
Or are we balancing them in self awareness
And improving productivity by conscious effort.
While coming to terms with ones weakness
Or while beginning to tap into ones strengths
What is important, is to realize.
that these very qualities in their own combination
Makes the human unique.
Weakness can be turned into strengths if one is ready to step back and understand where and how one can improve and evolve.
Strengths can turn into weaknesses in the way these resources are utilized.
The perception of weakness and strength is also often case a subjective matter.
With consistency of effort and cultivation of an attitude towards positive transformation, the very thing that is a weakness can be turned around to become a strength.
After all strength and weakness
Is simply in our perceptions
All it needs is endeavour.
To intend & will to change for the better.

When the spirit delves into the soul
Seeking an understanding of the self
The emerging picture reflects the true nature of every being.
The turbulence and turmoils ,
The arrogance and attitudes
The anger and greed
The hatred and revenge
Clothed in ignorance ,
Accumulated over the eons,
Vanish without trace.
When it senses the real Truth,
The transience of Nature.
Maturity and wisdom teach
The lessons of life in experiences
Peace and tranquility
Harmony and health
Inner joy and oneness
Are all one seeks
Resonances in eternal time.
Why confine the self to notions that binds.
Trapped in soul cages.
Wiser to unshackle and be free when the way appears
Untangle the chains to fly free in the unlimited space.
Channel the evolving energy in more ways than one.
Develop humility, compassion & loving kindness.
Value the learning in the letting go
Realise the potency of your own Unlimited energy.
Sharing these above reflections which originated in a deep conversation with my own mother about life. These are her heartfelt musings. I simply reconstructed her thoughts with suitable pictures.

This post is all about you!
Cos I would love to know more about you, my dear reader.
Would you be so kind as to share if you are fond of dancing…
Do you dance?
And if the music is right …
Would you prefer to dance solo or with a partner?
I do believe dancing from the heart has much to do with your wellbeing.
As a dance trainer over the years, I have come across many people to whom movement and music have made a huge difference in their lives.
Have always seen that it is not about the level or the intricacies of the steps or advanced techniques…
Rather it is about how you feel as you dance from within and how you make and leave another feeling even after the dance is over.
A few minutes of enjoyable dancing can leave lasting impressions on every cell of the being for the better.
Whatever the music or dance style that appeals to you the point is it integrates your healing mode and brings forth a positive transformation in the mind and body.
This is my humble attempt to bring the like-minded together and motivate you to take a step and dance some more.
As you dance you are creating health in and around you.
Do share if you feel dance has touched your life in any way…
Would be great to hear your insights and experiences.
Have shared many of my personal experiences over the years with my Dance for wellness workshops.
