Be this alive
We all are taught..
To make healthy choices.
It’s important to remember
It’s not just being hydrated
It’s not just eating healthy
Or exercising every day
Our true health needs much more
Beyond just the physical aspects
Tending to our emotions
Making conscious choices
To let go unnecessary
Be it overthinking worry or anger.
Practicing equanimity
Keeps us content & nourished
Integrating body mind &spirit
Decluttering our world
Balancing & simplifying life
And being present in the now
Making lifes moments come alive.
Savvy
Life is meant to thrive
As seasons change
And yesterday is behind us
And the day dawn once again
Let us celebrate life
In and around us
Respect the value of abundance
Let us share a moment
Of reverence for the blessings
Bestowed known & unknown
In each now then and onwards
Life is meant to thrive.
Savvy
Cornucopia
Every moment is a cornucopia of sensing
Fleeting thoughts in the making
Feelings and emotions reveal themselves.
Between action and inaction
And in the stillness in between
Like the ebb and flow on the tides
While at times amplifying & complicating situations
By tilting the tuning of the body and mind.
Sometimes overpowering almost self defeating
Sometimes compelling to release the stress withholding
To ease up the being & free up some space
Between thought and action.
Think of your emotions
As a bridge in between
To pause and reflect a while
And then to respond.
Respect your self and own your emotions.
For all your emotions make you, you.
Feel good that you can express
In so many shades and tones.
Emotions are interlinked
In every moment of life and living
All the while authenticating and revealing
The person you truly are.
Savvy
Find yourself
In the daily grinds of life
Take a conscious moment.
Move beyond the apparent.
Witness the world
Observe nature
The sun moon & the stars
Sense the fragrance of Flowers
Dancing in the wind
See the moving clouds
Shaping patterns & disappearing
Watch it all sense it all
And then delving deeper
Sense the intangibles
Understand the unspoken words
Beyond whats visible
Seek the wisdom untold.
You will find yourself.

A reminder
Great to have garden
Tending to each plant
Makes us happy
And yet the world seems lonely
For we have forgotten
The power of community.
Of strength in the interconnects
Of unity in togetherness
The bends without breaking
For in tending to our own garden
We forget the paths in between
The You and I
We forget the give and take
We forget care for one another
We forget sharing the joys & woes
Of life and living
Instead we sit alone
In our self built fences & walls.
We think we are happy alone
Little realizing the effects
Of being lonely…
Savvy
Unity is strength
Infinite are possibilities of growth, in a circle of team,
Increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect & engagement
Of human potential,
In the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.
Savvy
On Giving
Deep within us all
Is a fountain of abundance
It’s rich in love
Yet it needs care & nurture
Support and trust
The heart is giving
Such is its nature
For it knows not
The games of the mind .
Care for the heart
For it is pure feelings
And know its strength
Is in itself, in faith belief & trust.
Savvy
On Emotions
It’s not just in thinking
It’s in the feeling
That you can manifest
Your deepest intentions.
The power of heart
Knows no bounds
Such is the energy
In the emotions.
Savvy
Just be
Sense this moment
It’s with you
Only in this now
And then it moves on
Into another moment
And then another.
Time goes on
But if you can
Breathe in this now
Allowing yourself
To still your fluttering self
Calm your mind
Ease in your being
In this now
Then every now
Speaks much
Emotes much
Back to you
For you to discover
The truths of your being .
Just be…
Savvy
Be the catalyst of change
Just because you can worry
Doesn’t mean you have to
For there is always a reason to fret
But if you change your attitude
Shift your perspective
If you can meet all that comes up
With a smile from the heart
Things just might fall in place
So keep seeing the good in all
And in yourself
Be the catalyst of change…
Savvy
Live life lovingly
My mantra for life, is to live life lovingly…
And this quote seems apt on living life and loving.
True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Protect your energy
Self care isn’t selfish
Infact it’s is the need of times
In this fast paced world
That stresses you out
At work or even at home…
It is time to destress
And sustain yourself .
Ways to protect your energy…
If you find yourself running
From one task to another
Without a breather.
May be its time to ask yourself…
When was the last time
You had a hearty laugh?
You took time to treat yourself,
To all that you are fond of?
When was the last time
You took yourself out?
Just follow your instincts
And do all that you can
To make your spirit come alive.
And it’s truly ok to let steam off
eveey once in a while.
You are your responsibility
Protect your energy
And sustain yourself.
On Poets & poetry
A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
Lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives Embedded in words in a flow…
In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion, It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic as to be a poem the verses need to be well thought as much as well felt, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…
What are your thoughts on the above?
And how can empathy connect with poetry?

Wisdom of body
We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.
Thich Nhat Hanh
If we choose to listen
There is much to understand
As the body speaks
Constantly on its state of being.
Take a few moments
And care to listen
What is your body saying to you ?
