Irony of life

Love

Those who find love

Don’t bother to nurture it

Love starts losing value..

Children

Those who have many children

Find it challenging to rear them

And then there are those

Who ache for the blessing of a child

Health

Those who are in the pink of health

Take it for granted

And then there are those who want nothing more than the wealth of health.

Wealth

Those who have the means of wealth

Find no meaning  in it

And search for a meaningful life

And those who have no means

Are struggling to live each day.

Loss

Those who are grieving

Remember their lost companion

Those who have a partner

Forget there is one.

Despair

Those who are broken

Know the value of living 

To acknowledge the life.

In every moment.

Every life is different

Yet such is the irony of life 

That often life is lost in living it. 

And those who choose to live it lovingly and value the preciousness are truly rare…

Gifts of Life

Life pans out uniquely  each day for us.

And yet every life has its ups & downs

It is how we see it

That makes us who we are.

In the journey of life

Life supports and encourages us

By offering many visible and hidden

Gifts along our paths.

Recognize  and value them

For they are meant for us.

It is up to us to become aware of it

For us to sense & know…

And most of all

Every life is a gift

Value the life

You have.

On Education

The Degrees that we acquire

Are but an endorsement of our skillsets

But degrees do not define our nature.

No matter the set expectations.

Our behavior day in & out,

Is a testimony to our true education

No amount of degrees can guarantee our behaviour.

Our ways of being and our attitude towards others speaks a lot more…

Of how we apply our education in our lives.

On Receptiveness

Allow the self some food for thought

Acknowlege that there is something more

To understand learn and explore

Allow space for growth

To evolve in the journey

There is much knowledge gained this way

And much to discover more along the way.

 A Matter of Fine Tuning.

Screenshot_20171119-221536

Your cells are intuitive and have memory bank of information that is stored both inately and experientially .

How they synthesize and process that information may depend on many factors, especially on how healthy they are and what kind of nutrition they continue to have.

However they are continously in communication with you. Your sense of intuition is a part of their communicative process.So is your gut feeling and even a deja vu.

There is always much listening in to do if you wish to decode these flashes of thoughts and feelings. In fact they are your inbuilt guide and gifts of life. Acknowledge them for what they are.

That familiar feeling of knowing someone or something before even meeting them.

The rush of emotions amidst certain memories may be your intuitive sense of your cellular being getting a higher intensity of messages.

Here it is important to differentiate between fear and intuition… most often fear as a reaction is driven by attachment and led by insecurity, whereas intuition is a calm knowing from an inner voice of guidance and an almost unattached feeling although at times they may overlap in certain situations .

The tense feeling before a certain situation or place person or thing. Can be, you are getting a message across from your survival mechanism .

Your clenched fist or the butterflies in your stomach, the knotted feeling deep within at times, or even a voice screaming from within of lurking danger ahead are all perhaps are a forewarning to be more present in this now that you actually are.

Your intuition sense comes from both the heart and the gut brain. While the gut feeling comes forth to protect you, the heart is expansive in nature for it is known to radiate an aura around you. So no matter how the intuitions come from you can learn to make it work for you as you begin to develop your understanding of it.

The trick is in discernment of what comes from the place of fear and why or from the space of love and why.

A few tips on developing and harnessing your intuition.

1.Acknowledge your sense abilities for they are more powerful than we understand them to be

2.Try an pay attention to the first feeling you get in situations. There may be more to the vibes you get.

3.Work and develop your creative skills it helps to strengthen your intuitive sense of awareness starting with your own breathing patterns.

4 Try to work on being grateful of the gift of life and trust it to be your guide along the way. .

5. Most importantly avoid over thinking simply, be alert and yet receptive as it is always a work in progress.

How much do you value your intuition?

How much do you allow it to manifest itself?

Do you care to nurture it ?

Do you care to listen when your intuitive sense talks to you ?

Or do you choose to ignore it and move on .

Do you recall any instance of how you listened to your intuitive self.

Do share your thoughts…

On trustfulness

Fom an affirmation perspective…

Personally speaking, I have always been trustful about life. Perhaps because of my  uncomplicated nature and easy going attitude, I see the world in simple ways.

I prefer to think positively about that which  is yet to manifest and am hopeful about tommorow…

Yes life can be challenging and test your spirit,but perhaps in this very passion for life, yet knowing the value of moderation as well as in practicing patience & perseverance, I can attribute most of my lifes successful endeavors.

I do believe in life and trust there is always  a reason yet to know in hope. 

I trust the magic in every now!

Words to live by…

Live with authenticity

Pretense falls flat some time or the other

Steer clear of dependency,

Dependency create inequality.

Prudence is being always on guard

It is a better form of defense.

Listen to understand

Without trying to prove anything

Avoid the attack mode of offense

Choose to communicate better

Converse calmly create peace

Wherever you are …

Channelling the flow

Whatever you resist persists

Steer away from impulsive resistance

Yes while resistance is natural in life

Resistance may create tension

Yet it can be a signal of change

In channelling this very resistance.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Sifting & sailing through your perspectives

Till harmony becomes you.

Life gives unto life

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird


Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

On Heartfulness

When life seem a little too chaotic

When time seems to zip past us

When you wish to pause and reflect

Can you begin to see with your heart

For the heart comes along with truth

Of the being betwixt all the frenzy & fear

The heart emotes and senses

In all authenticity and intuition

Choose heartfulness

Allow yourself to tune in to hear

The beat of the not so distant drummer

Be ready to listen to its beat in synchrony

For heart knows the path of the being.

Hope is here to stay!

Covid has come
Covid will go
Herd immunity
Now at play
Will leave
With markings
Of a common flu


And yet the waves
Will leave us
Imprints of Resilience
In the cells of our being
Progressively in time
But speaking of the future
If we are able to see
Beyond the nightmare
Of the past


There is a shift
In the way of life
Of the way of living
At work & at play
The impacted have wisened
Earlier than others
But there is an awareness
No less in the rethinking
Of  the workplace that works
From physical  to hybrid.


Exploring possibilities
With our virtual connections
With precious commute time saved
Families  have sensed the togetherness
Experienced the pros & cons of wfh
Yet work has continued
Buisness collapsed yet many revived
Reinventing  the ways of work


A sense of knowing  prevails
All is not lost
For technology  has come in aid
Of mankind at its hour of need
A semblance  of normalcy regained
But with a redesigned version
Of what is the new normal
Organization  operates
Repattererned in the sensing
Of what is redundant
And what actually works!
Hope is here to stay…

Breathing free

A beautiful share

“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she’d been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”
