On Prayer

 

What is a Prayer

A prayer is a conscious thought

A prayer is also a connectedness through  the spirit

 A prayer is a journey beyond the mere physical and emotional realms

 A prayer is a reminder of our source to access whenever, wherever …

 

A prayer is a shift in perspectives

 A prayer is a deeper look into the self 

A prayer is a reflection in positivity.

 A prayer is an innate tool towards subtlety

A prayer is a step towards conscious awareness

 A prayer is a bridge of acknowledgement

 A prayer is a bow of acceptance

 

A prayer is a trustful disposition 

 A prayer is a healing calmth in  despair and devastation

 A prayer is a joyous amalgamation to the divine within

A prayer is a call out in troubled times 

A prayer is within reach and beckoning

 A prayer is a helping hand from within…

A prayer is union of thoughts words and deeds

 A prayer is a foray into tenderness

A prayer is a poise of Grace 

 A  prayer is an expansion of the kindness of  the spirit

A prayer is the strength of the indomitable will

A prayer is an innate form of expression

 A prayer is a poise in humility

 A prayer is much more beyond the folded hands  bowing

A prayer is a Soul conversation 

 A  prayer is a meditation in action…

 A prayer is a realisation of the stillness of your being 

A prayer is a journey within the breath of life…

A prayer is a power of moving hearts 

A prayer is unity in the diversity 

A prayer is a grounding  in rootedness 

A prayer is a realisation of equanimity 

A prayer is a silence beyond the verses 

A prayer is a song from the heart

A prayer is a soulful dance in tandem with divinity 

A prayer is a thanksgiving in gratitude!

Wisdom of walking on…

To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.

Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.

But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.

There is great wisdom in such a practice.

There is always something

That you would have done

That which you have accomplished

Your success that you are proud of!

However,

What you did yesterday

Cannot be taken for granted

For it is back in time

What ever your achievements

Your accomplishments are yours to know

Yet life is not lived backwards

You can take your learnings

From what is done and apply to this now

For the future is another day

Dwell not in time gone by

Past glory recedes in time

No matter the memory into a distant dot.

Choose to be in this present

For then the hits and misses

Become small matters in the sun

Then no challenge is unsurmountable

For then success and failures

Become stepping stones to learn from

Walk on in this now…

Infinite possibilities

Touch beyond the feeling
Sense beyond the seeing
Move beyond the doing
Listen beyond the hearing
Engage beyond the working
Give beyond the gaining
Think beyond the worrying
Play beyond the winning
Blend beyond the bordering
Involve beyond the training
Share beyond the owning
Will beyond the trying
Help beyond the supporting
Heal beyond the treating
Flow beyond the envisioning
Care beyond the loving
Dare beyond the comforting
Explore beyond the limiting
Reach beyond the knowing
Live beyond the existing…
Know Infinite is the truth of being!

Truth of Meditation

Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic

Here is my contemplation based on the quote

Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

On determination

To the truly determined

Opportunity unfolds

In the sustained effort.

To learn anything new

Needs dedicated determination

To understand beyond exploring.

In the will and perseverance

Arrives the point of knowing

And learning continues…

For the truly determined

Nothing can stop the learning.

Awakening the self

When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.

One positive thought.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
Robert H. Schuller

One positive thought
The power of positive
Adds life to the years
Firms up the faith
Heals with hope
Brings trust in time
Makes us believe again.
So much to live for
Than simply languish.
Such is the power of positive thinking…

Steer your life for the better
Think a positive thought

Well here is mine
I think today is a beautiful day

Care to share a positive thought
in this now?

Thoughts & us

Art by Savvy Raj

We are what our thoughts are.

God came.

Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires

First one
Countless money & a big business to run

2nd one

The most powerful position in the world

3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor

4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me

Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.

The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.

The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.

Peace of mind, contented heart.

For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.

God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.

The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.

Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.

In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.

As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.

The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.

Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.

Our thoughts decide who we are.

Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.

Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.

Strength of a circle

There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.

Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.

The strength of circles:

The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.

For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.

The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers  different departments as part of the same whole.

There are infinite  possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

Silence shows the way

The path of silence

Creates the space for reflection

And deep contemplation

To query in introspection

Such that you arrive back

Answered by your own self

To flow with life again

Trust the power of silence

Silence shows the way.

What makes you more you?

In this mixed bag of life’s moments

Sometimes life offers moments when you are pleasantly surprised.

It brings out the possibilities in you.

Creating joy, trust & faith.

Where you look forward to greet the next moment with hope

And other times there are raging storms

Where you are numbed down beyond compare

Where you are unsure of your next move

Trust time to free your mind of doubts

For there is always a reason why

Take every learning as a lesson for life

And know you will learn to weather the storm

Every storm, leaves you stronger than before.

For it leaves a more resilient you…

More capable, more confident more conscious

For you begin to acknowledge your own potential.

As you dare to meet the moments, you begin to meet the potential in you

Every moment makes you more you.

Life experiences can move us as it makes us. Every one has some moments that makes us smile and some that makes us stop and rethink… And in time we realise it was all necessary to make us realise our self.

Do you agree?

Can you remember one moment that made you smile from the heart?

Can you also think of moments, that made you question to understand life?

Did you meet your own strengths along the way?

Do you feel you have evolved along the way?

Spirit Ablaze…

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Power of a Seed

The seed looked up

At the mighty tree in awe

Wondering how it will grow to thrive

And how it will survive in time.

The tree rustled its leaves

In the gentle breeze

Sharing the tender touch

Of the nurturing wind

As if to remind the little seed…

Every mighty tree around

Was once a tiny seed

Blowing in the very same wind

That grew through the seasons

Weathering life’s storms

Learning how to bend and not break

So that it could grow one day

To its fullest potential

Testimony to the power of a planted seed.

Every tree is rooted with a message

Never underestimate the power within

Keep the faith and trust yourself!

The body never lies

Movements matter
For the body never lies
Whether you move
with your thoughts,
words or body.
 
It conveys the truth of you
In more ways than you know
Movements are unique to us
For they are imprints of life

The body never lies they say
Our movements convey the truth of our soul.
As words flow…
Writing reveals much about the writer
In the words said and unsaid
In the way the writer begins
& ends
In the choice of words itself…

But all said and done all writing, all creative arts can be cathartic experiences. The healing happens in the expression, in the letting go…

I write at leisure to relax and enjoy writing. It heals me. Perhaps if I am pressured to write I may not be feeling this way.

What are your thoughts on writing?

How has your writing helped you?
