Life Skills: Empathy Education
Life with all its complexities and contrasts creates a necessity to chalk out ways to make young impressionable minds better equipped to handle its exigencies. Holistic education is so much about grounding in connectedness as much as it is about intuitive understanding that, harmony in the mind body connection is a way of life and living.
An education in empathic behavior becomes paramount in a materialistic world. A lot of misconception about empathy needs clarification.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another acknowledging them as they are, in a nonjudgmental space and being with another sensing the feelings and caring to reach out with support through words action and deeds …
Empathy can be sensed in a touch a nod or a smile or in the simplicity of silence, doing nothing but just being there ….
Empathy is a sharing, a feeling, a bonding, a being, a seeing, a sensing, a trusting and believing in hope, in faith, in life and grace.
Empathy is about caring, as a way of being. Empathy is not always about bearing the suffering and sensing another’s pain or being in a state of sorrow or pain. There can arise great empathy when dancing together or in a classroom environment where the teacher feels one with the student’s frame of mind and speaks to address that … or hearing or performing a song or play together with unbridled sense of bonding and enthusiasm. This empathy can be reflected time and time again in striving to consciously stay aware of the mutually creative fulfillment it brings to our lives. Positive benefits of empathy can become a mirror to gradually inducing greater empathic behavior in our lives towards ourselves and others.
Our movements have the power to change our moods, as much as our thoughts can bring a change in our way of being. It doesn’t matter who believes in your empathic way of life, what matters is you believe in it yourself. And that is the first step in making a positive difference. When there is an empathy in action, it is mirrored in our minds to create, generate loving and caring thoughts as a response to the action.
Every empathic thought finds its way into expression thoughts words or deeds creatively. With increasing empathic thought and action there is unknowingly a connectedness, valuing the interdependence in this web of life and living as a way of being.

Cultivating inner peace
Begins with the awareness
Of your own breath
Just for a moment
Take a pause and reflect
On the inhaled breath
You cannot hold it much longer
You have to let it go
Likewise to this
Think of all the conflicts
Of the storms raging within you
Think of burdens weighing you down
How long do you choose to carry them.
You have to let it go, one day or another
Why not now, and live free
Sensing the lightness of being.
You have One life one heart.
Choose to live life with heartfelt peace.

We are living in a world rushed for time. People hurry and scurry through the day.
What we see in others is a part of us too reflected through them, when we are accepting of that part and able to respect it just as much as ourselves , we create all that we need to see at that moment .
Some very basic humane abilities are necessary in our journey in life.
To listen to understand, to connect, to acknowledge, to emphasize, to sense gratitude, to share happiness, and care for another as much as for ourselves.
Much of the world’s issues may find solace & resolutions in simply caring to be present in the moment.
In these abilities lies the truth of nature in its magnanimity and abundance in every moment.
And All is truly well.

In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.

So much wisdom in these two lines.
Speaking and listening is an elegant dance of words
As you hear more you are learning
And as you speak you are expressing
The power of what mere words can do
At the right time said in the right tone
To the right audience in all its simplicity of delivery
As much as in the profoundness of understanding
Taking time to understand
What matters before you speak
Taking time to know whom to say what
All is a dance, in the wisdom in the being

Ability to dance in the rain

Choose to focus on building than breaking
Choose to generate than disintegrate
Choose to see the hope than hopelessness.
Where and what is your focus on?
Focus on good choices,
As you clarify your intentions
In appreciation than criticism
You begin building bridges
Of hope in possibilities
You create hope than insecurities
Your focused positive approach
Yields you to do more, much much more!

Overthinking can drive one insane
It came confound than simplify reality
Less thinking is more living.
Be full of life and live life lovingly.
For those who tend to overthink
As a part of their nature
Overthinking can be a disease
That affects us in more ways than one.
For in overthinking can be distracting
With no space between thoughts..
The trick is to quiet the mind
So it allows focus and clarity.
Overcome the addiction to overthink
Often the reason to ruin the now
Often the cause of magnified fear
Overcome the habit of overthinking.
The perils of overthinking
Is that it crowds the mind
Overcome the addiction
Before it begins to haunt you.
Breathe in the good energies
Think positive thoughts, worry less
As the mind has no time to be anxious
And find some space for peace of mind.

We often complicate things which are actually very simple.
Perhaps the idea of simplicity is embedded in the complexities
Our ways of life and living often weighs us down in density.
The simple life is seen to be difficult to sustain
We are drawn to searching for more ways of entrapment of our senses
That our views have become colored in the distractions.
The simple truths are submerged in the illusory facades.
Our perception changes with our attitude
The way we see things changes the way things are.

Life and businesses
Circle of life and living
Nature leaves many lessons
The falling leaves
Are an excellent metaphor…
I came across two images yesterday
One of a fluffy floating cloud
With the surreal image of rootedness
The cloud signifying the leaves of a tree
Changing with the seasons of nature
Fleeting by with no barriers
The other of a caged cloud
So very profound
Two pieces of sky before me
Making me feel so very different
One made my heart sing in joy
To sense the lightness of being
The other although dense
Made me hope and believe
For a moving cloud cannot be caged
Yet the fact remains, freedom matters
Most to life and living
Life cannot be reigned
For life is meant to flow
