Behind the Scenes


Feel like sharing a blast from the past. 

I wrote this as a self reflective piece, on what it is to be a teacher, trainer or educator and its varied perspectives in life and living. 

There is always more than what meets the eye…


# Behind the scenes


When I say I am a Ballroom and Latin dance form trainer… there is this natural association with everything glamorous, high heels, fancy bare all clothes, svelte tanned bodies , hairdos and glitter, there is youth, shows and events galore, a fancy personal life filled with parties and a fabulous nightlife life may be .

 Far from it is the truth, actually it’s so much more than just that, it’s about raising your conscious awareness in harmony and balance of the mind and body .

It’s about empowering your mind and heart with care and understanding of the relative nonverbal communication  sensed through the medium of movement as patterns. 

It’s about taking time to internalize at times complicated moves yet being able to be at ease with your own self so much that the strain of practice never shows.

 It’s about making friends with your mental physical and spiritual body and creating a dimension of composure and gratitude for another to be inspired enough to want to learn from you.

 

It’s a huge responsibility, to make a connection with a human being and sustain it gratefully whether it is for a class a, a dance or a lifetime. Savvy Raj 


It’s a huge juggling act more so, if you have other interests as well, professionally and even personally, being a mother, a wife, a daughter and most of all a free spirit. Its about understanding the perspective of the space in between all that you are and all that you want to be and managing your creative resources the best you can.

As one fine tunes the self to understand and accept the value of the pauses between our moves we reach to our potential heights gradually and learn to be at peace within and around us. 

In the truest realm when we focus on any art form it’s about bringing discipline and dedication in every aspect of one‘s life , learning and growing all the way .In the journey that‘s ever enriching,  with experiences that must be savored along the way.

Wisdom in the Challenges : 4

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

 

The challenge pushes forth seeking new horizons 
The wisdom stills itself in the knowing


The challenge searches heaven and earth 
The wisdom delves deep within.

Wisdom in the Challenges : 3

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

The challenge is to bring balance
The wisdom is to sense the balance.


The challenge seeks to fulfill itself.
The wisdom seeks nothing for itself.

Wisdom in the Challenges: 2

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

The challenge is to choose between the options. 
The wisdom to know the difference.

  
The challenge is to seek new ways of overcoming. 
The wisdom is to know there is always a solution.

Wisdom in the Challenges:1 

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

The challenge is to float when you feel you will drown.
The wisdom is to sense a challenge coming.


The challenge is to tide through the tough times. 
And wisdom is knowing this too shall pass on.

Between Friends

Hey this one’s for you…

friend-1753870__340

To all my dear lovely ‘ Friends from all around this beautiful world’!

friends-1994515__340

Between friends…not for us the bondage’s of time, space  and superficiality or distance… thoughts are words unspoken but heard joyously without distraction.

The simple presence of a friend is always welcome, never intrusive; thereby an answer to our unspoken needs without questions.

It’s at times a validation of all that we stand for and often enough maybe just a forethought thrown in wisely in our direction which would be wise to be paid a heed to.

A confidence builder, a care giver, a mutual thought processor, a symbiotic thinker, a common goal sharer, a wisdom enhancer, a mood up lifter an energy booster, a health facilitator, a friend is so much and so much more… endless conversations completely whimsical, utterly important, at times all that is the simple need of the moment .

In all, having the privilege of a good friend is a conscious movement towards light and all that’s bright.

Cheers to the good friend who manifests in our life and makes our living fine!

Lessons from a Sunrise

Be your own best friend!

 

Trust the self implicitly. 

Treat the self with dignity
Create your life by owning up to the person you are.
Value yourself enough to be yourself.

Care to be your own best friend!

As you heartfully accept and trust yourself,

The intuitive you already knows your path.

You will be guided to where you ought to be, 

And you will awaken to what you ought to do.

So, treat yourself lovingly.

Be an ally, not an enemy to yourself.

Care to be good to yourself

Because in sifting through this journey of life, 

It truly helps to have a friend in you. 

There is more to loving the self than what meets the eye. The heartfelt self-centering in every step of the way of evolving, from within to the without, is a deeper understanding that the world needs kindness even more. And it needs to move from core consciousness outward and circulate in the flow. 

As you feel comfortable in connecting with who you are, as you are, you feel comfortable connecting with the people around you.

Treat the self lovingly, the best you can, no matter the circumstances, and you will emanate the love that you sense from within all around you and into the world at large.

Life becomes easier and lighter to handle as you strengthen your inner spirit and move away from self-sabotaging behaviours.

Believe in yourself to be all that you can be; you owe it to the life in you. As you start loving yourself, you start to believe in yourself, and as you start to believe yourself, you begin to value your life, and as you begin to value your life, you begin to define the purpose of your being. 

A few tips to being your own best friend: 

Believe that you matter, and never ever take yourself for granted.

Trust your inner spirit; remember you are unique; and trust all is well. 

Keep choosing positive and pleasant thoughts, and care to step out of your own way.

Behave responsibly, and choose to live your life lovingly.

Respect and take care of your body, mind and spirit.

Love yourself as you are, but care to evolve for the better.

Time to Care 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While we live at leisure in peace

Countless live in fear of war.

While we sleep safe, tucked in our bed

Countless are fleeing their homes

With rising terror and conflicts

There are countless deaths and destruction.

While we take our breath of air for granted

Countless gasp for a breath of air.

While we drink and make merry

Countless thirst for a gulp of water

While some children have pillow fights & pyjama parties.

Countless have no bed or clothes on them.

While we choose to waste the food on our

plates

Countless starve, with no food to eat.

Many things we take for granted

Many things that we can help alter.

About time we cared in our sensing of the why.

As every one of those countless faces matter between the you and I.

Savvy

Realization of  love, compassion and connection within and the ensuing actions in empathy is the beginning of  true wisdom.

Lets make way for a peaceful world.

Every beat of the heart matters 

Every heartfelt intention makes a difference.

Every moment of time is precious.

Every blissful heart knows!
