Dancing with Prompts

As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.

In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.

Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.

In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.

In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along

Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.

When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.

Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!

LOVE

Sharing light & love…

Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity!

What do you think of it?

Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times, doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!

Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

Inside

What is…

Inside of your mind

Is there peace?

Inside of your heart

Is there love?

Does it feel like a ocean wave

Is flowing through you…

Or a flame of hope rising like a phoenix

Can you hear the distant drums

And dream of hope in the yonder

Or the bells of divine chime within?

Where and how are you

Inside?

Waltz In The Sky

Murmuration

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/A72MZUuTfLFHDNKh/?mibextid=TrneLp

Watch this magical murmuration

In divine interconnection

Countless birds in a dance of symphony

Creating patterns in rhythmic harmony.

An enthralling aerial display.

That moves you with its magical sway

Makes you wish and wonder why

These flock of feathers fly this way!

In the swing and the sway
And the rise and fall
The flight of these birds
Interweave a cohesive harmony.
A rare sight both elusive and enigmatic
Orchestrated with brilliance
Perhaps simply waltzing with abandon
Perhaps to ward off the predator
With such seemingly chaotic order
Every dancing heart will delight
In acknowledging with awe
This dance of sychrony!

On Letting Go

Letting go is never easy

For we are often not ready

Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity

Letting go that which you can’t change

Letting go of yourself beyond the fear

Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back

Letting go of things that no longer serve you

Letting go to create space for something new

Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities

Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…

Learn to let your self go

And watch life transform in and around you…

All it takes is letting go

Think of letting go of the spurious

Like a breath taken

How long will you hold it?

Inhale and exhale are part of life

As you inhale, live life

In knowing the exhale

Is but a circle of life.

Part of something bigger

Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of life and living
The strength of the interconnects.

You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

On Self Worth

Do you sense love for yourself
Do you feel respect for yourself
Do you feel your sense of self esteem

Do you feel a sense of self worth

What is your self worth tied to?
Is it your education
Your fancy degrees
Your knowledge
Your partner?
Or your beauty?
Your abilities?
Is it to your achievements?
Your skills?
Your bank balance?
Or is it to your designation
Your children
Your home?
Your cars?
Your phone?

If you have answered yes honestly to any of the above please think again
Work on your independence
Free your mind free your heart
Free yourself from chains
Practice unshackling
Try to detach your self worth
From material things.
Others cannot always be around
We are born as unique beings
We are complete in every way
No one can latch on to us
Nor should we latch on to another
Self awareness is crucial
For true self confidence
Self Confidence creates self esteem
Self esteem develops self worth
Value the life you have
Understand your truth
Explore your potential
You are worthy.

The Gift

Every one of us are gifted
By someone somewhere in time
For some reason that celebrates
Someone & their special moments.

Sometimes the gifts are well timed
Sometimes the gifts come
And its never noticed.
But gifts come for us all
And sometimes unexpectedly They then have a calling of their own
Perhaps to get us up and back again
To remind us of our purpose
And the source coders plan for us.

We all feel happy when gifted
And when we receive it with gratitude
We align with the flow…

Sensing Serendipity

And just like that, come s along a moment with heartfelt words, that makes you grateful for the life lived. 

Every moment is full of possibilities
Every thing you choose to do
Leaves impressions in the sands of time.
Stay true to being you…
Life turns memorable.

Have taught many people to dance in my life.And yet…

I remember this student well, as well as all the workshops I conducted. It was a decade or more ago when I taught some Corporate Jive Workshops to a creative set of Designers. We stayed connected over the years on FB and LinkedIn.
We wished each other occasionally on birthdays and celebrations. That’s all … Unril I happened to really notice the love this student had for bikes and I sent a simple message of best wishes and safe travels…
And voila I get this message today that for sure makes my day!
A lesson here…
Stay connected .
Be interested & reach out and express appreciation for things others do..
Celebrate life .. Trust life to deliver the very best! It often does!
Let go expectations!
Great things happen quite unexpectedly!
And most of all, never underestimate the power of dance and music …. ✨✨

Making sense of it all!

Simplicity is hidden in complexity

Are we actually simplifying complexities or complicating simplicity?

Simplicity dwells in complexity,

And complexity is just tangled simplicity

In the designer’s intelligence.

Both dance hand in hand.

The meaning we choose to perceive,

The connect we choose to establish,

The intention we choose to deduce,

At a point in time

Can make it irrefutably simple

Or irrefutably complex to understand.

The simple truth holds all the complex potential

In an untangled arrangement.

The very arrangement is fodder for imagination

For continuity in ingenuity.

In the momentum of thoughts,

The complex gives birth

To new pathways in the patterns,

Promoting in the propelling

A curiosity in exploration

Of simplifying the confounding complexities.

History is replete with stories

Of complicating the simple truth

Of the being… in the boggling for answers

In refuting and relegating

Our beautiful ball of blue.

This Circle of nature was assumed

Once as square in shifting perspectives.

Meaning perceived in perspective dimensions,

Unfolding with the understanding of that era,

Moving on in time to deconstruct the construction

Of breaking down codes of assumption,

Of restructuring in the resurrection,

Of recognition and the refuting

To understanding the circles of yin and yang,

The dance of polarity,

The duality of nature,

Death and birth

As part of the circle of oneness

Of life and living.

The simple resides in the complex.

The complex is just simple turned upside down.

Perhaps as the humankind increased in numbers,

The simple was too profound

To answer the multitude of mulling thoughts.

In different directions

Due to the innate nature of man

To wonder in awe

And thus, the simple no longer seemed simple.

To solve the emerging enigmas,

Delving into the simple,

Intelligent design was questioned

In scientific temperament,

In philosophical propositions,

Until creativity created connections

And new expressions in the exploration

To deduce, deduct and denote

Infinite patterns of potential,

Making sense of uniqueness in the self-similarity

As the irrefutable simplicity of it all.

In the search for answers

To simplify the complex

Or to complicate the simple,

Many paths present themselves.

Every path is infinite in possibilities.

The question is are we ready to walk the path,

And what we evolve into while walking the path of choice.

In search of simple truths, we encounter the magnitude of complexities underlying simplicity. Simplicity elegantly serves itself, but the paradox of simplicity is in the complexities of finding meaning and accepting such simplicity as the ultimate truth of being.

Simple tips to help you give a great speech

While you can use any of the latest AI Apps to enhance your presentation. And you may find it easier when you do the basic preparation of the speech.
A few things that are truly important is keeping yourself hydrated before a speech. Having to deliver a long presentation and speech can be quite challenging with a dry mouth.
Secondly doing a technical check if you also have a presentation to support, prior to your speech is equally necessary. As whatever be your presentation if it does not synch with your speech, it can be rather challenging.
Third make sure to take a deep breath before you start as it helps balance your mind & body easing the nervous system, and enhancing present moment awareness. This is truly helpful where you can easily improvise in case you forget a few lines which can happen to anyone Inspite of preparations.
Most of all having a good night sleep before an important speech keeps you looking fresh and in the now.

If you love what you do

And are lucky to do what you love

Speaking from your strengths is actually easy

For it flows from within

About that which you are passionate about.

Prepare well

But remember to flow…

To share is to learn

Unconference, the word piqued my curiosity for a while until I checked it up on the internet, only to find that the idea has gained tremendous momentum across the globe.

The idea of un-structuring the ingrained structure seemed interesting to say the least, in creating spaces and possibilities to honour the learning.

Suffice to say recently, when I came across an Unconference event in the local newspaper I decided I must make a visit.

The venue of this Unconference was the well known Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts in Pune. I reached just in time for the proceedings to untold.

A customary registration ensued and I was greeted by a few volunteers with a relaxed warm and welcoming attitude. Clearly, the Unconference had started right there.

The word Conference kind of stiffens people up. There is a formal attitude, a thick air of competition to perform at their very best. There are fees and strict rules to adhere to. There are super busy organisers scurrying through and tension is writ large on their faces and their bodies as well are stressed out with expectations of the outcome of the event. Suited men and women whizz through looking super important. And yes there would be a Chief Guest of honour and a coterie of important people who need VIP handling… Adherence to their whims and fancies and most importantly their speeches which may or may not be of interest to any. But all must endure as to get up and leave is an offence to the speaker.

On the contrary here, there was a prevalent free-spirited feeling in the first place that all were in it together. The sense of community always takes time to build so I stood in that room with a small group of people waiting for the (informal introductory practice,) the opening circle.

The Opening Circle :

Someone from the group had taken an initiative to design a pretty pattern made of flowers in the centre of the space and light a lamp there.

A few introductory rounds later which turned out to be icebreakers with a few games to let loose and get into the flow.

There was a board set up with a mention of few rooms and a time slot to boot. The participants were encouraged to choose to attend or conduct workshops or just wander around and network.

A few people got up to mention their workshops and claim their slot. On a moment’s impulse although I was not exactly in the right attire for a dance workshop I simply decided to go with the flow and offered a Dance connection workshop by me.

Encouraged by a decent number of participants I let the moment take the lead. As I began teaching I witnessed the flow of the energy in the exchange.

I spoke about the dance, hold, frame and positioning and started introducing them to partner dancing and some basic steps. Bit by bit people shed inhibitions as they were getting tuned into the moves.

The moment strangers began to hold hands and face one another… for many, there was harmony to be found in the mirror imaging. For after all the lead and follow were simply an extension of each other dancing as one unit.
