How are you in this moment ?
Are you ok?
Every once in a while
Just ask yourself these simple questions.
And let yourself answer
As the thoughts flow
Jot them down
There is much healing
In the journaling of thoughts
In expressing your feelings
On paper or to another
In simply voicing it out
Giving a path to let the steam off.
Build yourself up with care
Connect with a deeper breath
And listen keen as you exhale.
As you externalize, you create space
And understand yourself more.

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.
Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.
Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.
While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.
Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light
A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.
The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.
Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.
In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

There is a dog somewhere nearby
That is barking every once in a while
It is not the usual bark and not a yelp either
But I feel it’s something not ok
Perhaps it is loneliness
A yearning for a companion
Or a little comfort & care.
My heart aches to hear it every day
And wants to help.
But try as I might
Yet, I am unable to find the dog.
Till then ,
I hold my hand on my heart
If it is a pain of some kind
I pray that the pain goes away …
I send a healing light
To shift the energy & ease the dog.

Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it
For in its wake, the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights
There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,
With the strength of stability in its sureness.

Wished a very enterprising friend
On his birthday today
Umpteen solar cycles wise
He has weathered
the storms of life
And yet through it all is a joy to connect
I paused a moment
when I read his reply
beyond the thank-you.
In his words…
“My days are long and boring, but at this stage of my life, boring is a desired quality.
May life give you what you desire the most at every stage of your life”.
His words touched my heart
It speaks much of a spirit
wanting to do much more
A recognition of boredom,
Is the desire to unravel life
some more.
Boredom creates a space
Between the steps
In realization and acknowledgement
Of the preciousness of time
And that is in itself, valuable
For it is allowing you to tap
into potential possibilities.
And discover something more,
awaiting your creativity
on the other side of boredom.
In finding the good in boredom
Life isn’t so boring after all!
I thank my friend for his kind blesses &
I wish my dear friend
a fascinating birthday
that lights up his day
and brings joy to his heart.

Undeniable 10 life thoughts that I came across on social media I felt like sharing…
From time to time
Make it a habit
To give yourself a gift
For wellness sake
The gift of nature
Plant a seed
Walk in nature
Hug a tree, touch a flower
Meditate in open spaces
And reduce your stress.
And uplift your mood

The map in my veins
Lead to those unknown paths
Across the world
To places and spaces
I was meant to go
To connect with those
I was to meet
Its all ordained I can tell
Now as I look back
Each relevant to whole
Emerging & merging
In this story of life
The pen with words I weild now
Yields through as witness
To learnings and experiences
Leaving an imprint
In the footprints of time.

As the fog gets intensive
And the mood pensive
Visibility dips to nothingness
All you feel is aloneness
At that point of break
When doubts creep in wake
You hear footsteps near
An assurance beyond fear
Seeing lanterns in the fog, aglow
You sense hope in the flow.

Love this quote 💙
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.

Teach children to be open to new perspectives, nurture in them the ability to appreciate, it not only transforms them but also the way they interact in the world.

I sincerely resonate with these words .
I have often seen the perils of burnout up close in professional and personal life over many years. As a coach and mentor it has been often clearer to me that having the blessing of many interests and hobbies like dance and art and sports in my life, I have steered away from burnout with a perspective shift. It helped balance my work and personal life.
But over the years watching people of all ages moving towards burnout due to many factors some avoidable and sometimes due to relentlessly challenging situations in their lives, occurrence of burnout is a reality sooner than you know.
Workaholics are the worst hit as often as Type A personalities. People in power positions founders challenged by their own hamster wheel climb , running their race, stressed and distressed between the managing and funding of their enterprises. To people who are intrinsically overt perfectionists trying to outdo themselves beyond abilities and suffering physically emotionally and mentally thinking that in doing so they have proved their worth. Likewise young students with extreme pressure from parents to perform well in something that they are not interested in. Have seen cases of students in engineering stream, forced to take it when their heart is in arts and humanities .
The difference is between enjoying the work and overworking is in feeling exhausted by the work you do to such an extent that you cannot connect with your self anymore.
When your passion turns in an obsession,
When you are pushing yourself over the brink without consideration for your own health.
Your absence affects your family When you think you are giving it all, but what you are giving is, stealing a loved ones time with you.
Imbalances you create in your life have a way of finding you and testing your life. Make sure to live life when you have it, with all of you.

Are you feeling the rage
Of a war within you
Is there a fire flaming through your veins
Is your heart thumping beyond your control
Are your thoughts so muddled that you just can’t think straight?
Well my friend, trust that this too shall pass
For your anger is self made from the agony
Of living life with frustration.
All you need is to acknowledge time as your best friend
For it shows you a new way in time
From reaction to response
But do you want to be responsible
For your self harm or healing ?
For your anger is destroying you.
Think about what ways you can flip the script you are telling yourself.
For its your thoughts and feelings that fuel your emotions, time and time again.
If your heart is hurt remember to think and align your heart with your mind.
If your thoughts are the reason and that anger is bubbling up your brain, know your heart is far expansive that you know, feel from your heart the love and forgiveness that stems from it. And align your thinking mind with the emotions of unconditional loving heart .
If both your heart and brain are a fire ball of fury then too you have the wisdom of your body. Train your body to move and realign yourself to help you step out of this phase.
Remember the potential for peace rests with you always.
It’s just a matter of acknowledging it. And bringing it into practice in response than reaction.
Peace is within you
Your infinite potential always included the peace that you actually are.

In Japan, a ten-year-old boy had a goal of becoming a judo champion.
However, he was disabled. He didn’t have a left arm.
Becoming a judo champion is a huge challenge even for those with strong arms and legs.
What could a boy without one arm do?
He approached many trainers.
All of them looked at him with pity and sent him back.
The boy didn’t lose heart. He kept trying.
Finally, one trainer agreed to teach him judo.
The training started. The trainer taught him only one move.
Days, weeks, and months passed. The trainer didn’t seem to teach him anything else. The boy got frustrated.
“Master, knowing just one move isn’t enough to become a judo champion. Will you teach me anything else?” he asked.
“If you master this one move, that’s enough,” the trainer replied.
There was no arguing with the trainer. The boy continued his practice.
He mastered that single move well.
The championship began!
First match: A well-trained opponent against this boy who knew only one move.
The match started. To the surprise of the audience, the boy won.
Second match: He won again.
He continued to advance and reached the semi-finals.
He struggled a bit but won that match too.
Now it was the final match.
His opponent was a multiple-time champion. He felt a bit of pity and some disdain for the boy without an arm. But the boy didn’t falter.
The match started. In the first round, the opponent knocked the boy down.
Seeing the boy’s condition, the audience was shocked. The organizers considered stopping the match.
“Let the boy fight,” said the trainer.
The opponent, now careless, thought he didn’t need any safety gear to fight this boy.
The boy executed the one move he knew with great force. The opponent fell.
The boy became the champion.
The audience couldn’t believe it, and the competitors were astonished.
Even the boy couldn’t believe his victory.
That evening, he asked his trainer.
“Master, how did I win this match? I won with just one move,” he said.
Smiling, the trainer replied, “There are two reasons for your success.”
First, you have mastered one of the most difficult moves in judo.
Second, the only way to counter that move is for the opponent to grab your left arm. But you don’t have a left arm!
“Your weakness turned into your strength and made you a champion!”
The boy marveled at the trainer’s words. He felt joy thinking about how his weakness had become his strength.
Each of our minds is a sea of talents. Diving into it can yield pearls or shells, depending on how long we hold our breath.
Every person is endowed with unique talents by God. Our success lies in discovering and utilizing them.
