Stay between
the glancing back and gazing forward.
Lessons are learnt from past.
Time teaches us all
Yet look ahead in hope
For life is lived forward not backward.

Science of Wellbeing in the Art of Dance
Movements are energy in action.And movements in a dance can heal and transform lives for the better.
How?
The physicality of a series of rhythmic or structured movement like in a dance creates a chemistry of changes to integrate the body mind and soul in a flow gradually towards health and vitality.
A few pointers to those who wish to dance to bring wellbeing into their lives .
When you dance …
Dance sensing the joy of movement. Feel the energy in the action
Dance your best but don’t showboat.
Dance with all of you,
When you dance
Leave all of your stress & worries away
Dance often whatever the dance!

Flow with life!
Change is inevitable , but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you.
Breath and Movement:
We are the sum of our individual parts
There is no heart without our mind and no action without our sensing.
No two moments of our life are alike. Our body is made of cells that are renewed in time. Emotions and behaviour that we manifest are deeply integral to how we feel about ourselves and the situation at hand … so our movements are as unique as we are.
Cultivating an awareness of our own breath can give us much needed support and inner healing through the vagaries of life and living
Just make sure to sense your inner calm and be one with your breath no matter the situation you are in. That is the way you can gradually connect with yourself on a deeper level.
The more connected you are with your breath you gradually begin to relax in the moment.
Attuning your Breath and Movement
Let your breath guide and lead your movement. Value the subtle energies of your own self that encompasses your own breath.
Sense the integration of your breath and your movements. Breath gives your movement a shape and direction. So not only can you link your breath and your movement but also practise initiating your movements with your breath.
Your awareness will gradually increase of how your own inbreath (inhale)and out breath (exhale) are being used in your movements. What powers and energizes your actions and what calms and assists relaxation. And how it can flow enveloping and encompassing, connecting and complementing each other like an elegant dance!
Soon in practice you will learn to
‘Dance with it ‘
That’s how you learn to flow and dance with life!

Being a Witness…
The unabashed beauty of this world is but an illusion.
Marking time in the constancy of change.
Whatever good is in this moment is a gift of now
To wonder in awe and receive in gratitude…
And when reality bites as the seasons change.
It is in us to learn to witness without want but with understanding and patience.
As all is in the turning of time.
The appearance to disappearance of beauty and the the bounties is but an illusion.
What is today beautiful can be barren tomorrow in the resurgence
Making space for new life to emerge for life continues beyond, in the grand plan of things
In hope, trust and belief of a beautiful morrow…
Follow the dictates of nurture.
Covet not what is not yours.
Be grateful and express gratitude for life.
And value the beauty of this now!
So much intricacy in the evolving artistry.
So much wisdom in the moment to imbibe.
So many lessons in nature to nurture.
Seek to live learning and growing.
Striving to be in a witness mode.
Sense and be one with the flow
For you are the flow!
Savvy
Whatever there is in this ever changing world, all that is enveloped by the Lord.
With this understanding renounce and enjoy ( without owning) what is due to u .
Do not covet for the wealth of other. ( Ishavasya Upanishad 1)
So much wisdom in these lines…

The Tree Remembers & How!
The Axe Forgets
The Tree Remembers.
…African Proverb
The surging pain of the strike
The slashing that seethes the soul.
The emotions deepen the wound
Such is the exacting nature of the hurt.
But learn you must
To gradually evolve
To let go the past
To grow anew
Arise from the scars
Forget you may not
But forgive you can!
Like the barks of the tree
Although scathed and bruised
By the cuts of the axe
Growing out new branches
And blossoming into spring
Flowering in fortitude…
Strengthening the Soul
Renewing the spirit
For the Bark of a Tree …
Tells the tale of sheer grit
And strength in the grounding.
Your life’s scars are patterns
Life has drawn on you
While you held ground.
Replenish &Regenerate. Only to bloom again in time!
Be proud of who you are.
You are amazing! !

You and I
When you take a step
And hold my hand
As we dance as one
Listening to the tunes
Of our beating hearts.
Moving to the melody
Sensing the synchrony
Sharing the love
Spreading smiles.
Without a word…
We know for sure
Whatever comes along
We can make it all right
However lost we may seem
We will find our way
Yes, you and I.

And the woman labours on!
A balloon seller now she is
Her name does not matter
Married for she was considered a burden
By her very own parents.
A poor girl from the city of Rajasthan India
Surviving, living by and around
Cafes in the city of Pune
Just 19 solar cycles old
Her malnourished body has no signs of youth
She works all day selling balloons in hope
For one square meal to come her way
Often she says she eats only once in the day
If she is lucky she gets a bite-sized meal.
She wanders around till late evening
and sells her wares outside the hip street cafes
Often times to children and some for grown-ups too
My daughter is all of 19 too
Was visiting the cafe with friends
She chanced upon her last evening.
Begging her to buy some balloons
She took a bit of time and listened to her woes
She was deeply moved and she fed her dinner
In return, she was gifted a balloon from the heart
And this story above is the truth of this balloon seller’s
Life and existence
That she heard first hand and narrated to me last night
I reflect on how she said…
‘The balloon seller is stoic and yet hopeful’
Her life is a tragic story and pitiful
An account of a woman’s day!
Another day dawns …
They call it Woman’s Day!
The woman labours on
With the same fervour and faith
Like every other day
It makes no difference to such countless women really
If there is a day marked in her favour
Using her name politics is played
Institutions have events and clubs have parties
Felicitating and celebrating in the name of womanhood
When will lives of every female child truly change
As a mother or the daughter or the sister
Maybe there is a recognition and sweet words
from your family and friends for a day or so …
Her life is a mere existence in making through each day and night…
What a day like this going to matter to her.
Really not much.
She is out in the open vulnerable and bare.
Bounded by duty imposed without a right
Carried on in the throes of life and living.
Praying a day will dawn when every life matters.
Where every child is born and raised with love
For the future of this world belongs to them.

Priceless Soul!
Oh! Priceless soul!
Let there be more within for you to share
Let your words be measured in equanimity
Leave a bit of yourself in you for your sanity!
A little mystery of you to seek and solve.
A little meaning in you to find and evolve.
Your lifes sense of being,
It resides to make you, you
It arrives and departs as it wishes
But exposes your you-ness to you!
It knows what makes you tick
It knows itself and its ways around you
For it is yours to keep and own
Trust it to show you the truth in your path
Have faith in its enthralling ways
And you will sense the sheer miracle of You!
Allow yourself to safegaurd your very being.
For this is a world, that gets weary soon enough
Of every fanciful thing in time.
Let your soul be yours to keep
Sell it not for any price in the world,
For priceless is the spirit in your soul!
Savvy
This poem is a dedication to the creative soul that rests and flows within each of us that sometimes has the propensity to gets burdened by its own intensity.
Sense its infinite potential but value the need to center this soulspace. Pause to rest and recover, to reflect and revere its divinity. For it is in the stillness of such unassuming moments the creative soul is replenished to flow boundlessly in the river of time. .Savvy
On Nurturing : 3
Gamut of Nurturing : Mind body Integration
Nurturing is an integrated spectrum of experience and it is highly recommended in todays times of survival of the fittest to embalm the body spirit and soul.
What can be nurtured … well almost everything…
From a thought to an idea to a habit to a passion and more . When nurtured , in hope and goodwill there can be transformations in the transitioning of time .
Nurturing is a very vast ocean of unconditional love and support which can perhaps make the nurturer extremely compassionate and even exacting for the good of the nurtured . But perhaps the concept of nurturing needs to change as well with the changing sensibilities of time.
In such scenario as it presents itself nurturing needs a relook like a time stamp and check on where it is heading often keeping the iterations going to evolve further.
There is a dignity in nurturing
With understanding that arises
In patience tolerance and perseverance
Beyond an attitude of indifference
Nurture in trusting
Heart over mind
Or mind over heart
Is not the question at all …
Nurture in spirit and soul
With all of your being
In every communication
Or crisis confrontation
Nurture in conscious awareness
Accepting the interconnects
Acknowledging the interdependence
Arising to evolve in life and living.
Nurture knowing truth is eternal
In Spirit, knowing it is for you to kindle
In Empathy knowing you are because they are
In compassion sensing the suffering and pain.
Nurturing is not an on off act
It is a never ending journey
It is a lesson in unconditional love
It is a life time of learning in the caring.
To nurture is to arise to any occasion
In hope and goodwill
In strength of positivity
In light beyond passions.
Nurturing is an art of living
In bringing to light the hidden good
In surfacing with dignity and grace
In knowing the infinite truth of being.
Nurturing is in the unfolding resurrection
In transpiring to regeneration
As in such an reviving emergence
Life begets the vital resurgence.
To nurture is allow hope to permeate in all
To nurture is choose to better from before
To nurture is to raise the bar of accomodation
To nurture is to instill faith and bond in trust
To nurture is an emergence of a boundless bond.
A nurturing heart supports and nourishes
A nurturing nature provides care and comfort
A nurturer cultivates and lays the foundation for roots to grow strong and spread .
A nurturing soul is the key to a better future.
