We all want to be in the safe zone for ourselves and others.
Let us be mindful in this now and practice sanitation protocols to the best of our abilities from wherever we are.
But we also need to be empathically aware of the many who are doing their best to save lives.
Salute to all the selfless souls.
God be the protective shield of all the frontliners of the health, sanitation, essential services and many invisible heroes who are doing their best in spite of all odds. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’s possible
They say…
What one sees as the end
Another sees a beginning
An attitude of positivity
Can change the world around.
To be able to believe & hope
Is the beginning of positive change.
So in possibilities of the potential
Take a leap of faith in trust
And simply know It’s possible.
Create the possibility!

You may…
Follow others to learn and imbibe
But you cannot become another
For you are created for a reason.
You carry your future in your today
Your life paves its own way
No one can be you or live like you.
You are not another or to be them.
Asserting the uniqueness of creation
Such is the way of nature.
Be you as you are…

The Suitcase
A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
– God said: Alright son its time to go.
– surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans…
– I’m sorry but its time to go.
– What do you have in that suitcase? the man asked.
– God answered: Your belongings.
– My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
-God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
– Is it my memories? the man asked.
-God answered: those never belonged to you they belonged to Time
– Is it my talents?
-God answered: those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
– Is it my friends and family?
-God answered: I’m sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.
– Is it my wife and son?
– God answered: They were never yours the belonged to your heart.
– Is it my body?
– God answered: that was never yours it belonged to the dust.
-Is it my soul?
God answered: No that is mine.
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
– With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
-God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only yours. Life is just a moment. a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don’t let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so.
-Live Now
-Live your life
– Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
– Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
-YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING
Received this thoughtful share on social media with these words…
Share this reflection with anyone you love or appreciate. Enjoy every second you live.
I came across a very unique post on Social media…that I want to share here today…
Someone collected these tree branches and called them Nature’s dance” ❤️
Artwork : Chris Kenny – Dancing twigs
If you actually want to see
You will see the Dance of Nature
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …I bow
In Gratitude to this Grace
Savvy
The power that creates
The omnipresence
Is all knowing consciousness
That is there to take care
All of creation
Cannot be without a reason
Trust the purpose
Keep the faith
Faith is all there is
Without faith nothing is
Savvy
Our guiding voice from within
Is always speaking to us
Signaling in a whisper or a sign
Conveying what is the’ Gut feel ‘
Our second brain is often ignored
But it operates nevertheless
Resonating or relegating
An advice to our being
If only we know to listen in
We draw from its bank of wisdom
And better manage our choices
In staying integrated in life & living.

Soul Enrichers…
I do believe the journey of life, broadens the mind and brightens the spirit if we are ready to acknowledge the unfolding gifts of connections. along the way.
In my journeys across the world earlier, as a Dance Educator teaching and speaking about dance applications and approaches there have been some amazing people both in the dance circuits and otherwise,who I have had very fascinating conversations with…
I want to share a bit here about some of these beautiful people from across the world who I had a chance connect with, nothing planned,yet meeting them was truly soul enriching to say the least.
Would like to begin the first in these series of posts with Emily Berry who is now a dear friend.
Emily, the beautiful intelligent woman with an Indian Soul all the way from New York … who dances with all her heart and soul 🙂
We met in 2014 Greece, while we were representing our own countries at the World Dance Research Congress.
In her own words…
“I strive to create a safe space for students to learn, explore, question, and become independent thinkers and movers. In technique courses, I address each individual student’s unique body in order to help them develop their technique through muscle re-patterning. Students learn anatomical awareness and tools to help them move past road blocks.
In theory, improvisation and composition courses my main goal is to help student’s find their own voice. Creating a judgment free space is essential so students are not afraid to explore new movement possibilities.”
Berry’s choreography has been tackling such issues as race, the glass ceiling, domestic violence, women in prison, and war since 1995.
Today, brought in a beautiful memory of a time when I had an amazing afternoon walk with her, while at the Acropolis museum Athens.
I remember how a shared a common love for all things dance… got us interacting post our dance workshops and rest just fell in place!
We conversed like we have known each other from years ago…
‘Beautiful places… Beautiful memories ‘💙

Two left feet or two right feet
Just learn to swing to the beat
And find the rhythm of your own heart.
And learn to dance and make a healthy start…
Just a little step and sway …
Bring the balance in your way.
Yes all we need is just a ‘Dance’ everyday!

Acknowledgement is a step towards improvement.
Realizing the effects and the cause is relevant to change.
Our world is a gift we have in life
We are interweaved in this tapestry of life and living.
And we are strengthened in the interconnects in between.
Yet we have distanced ourselves
The advancements create gadgets of convenience
But humane care and connection is distanced
We behave as if we are entities self centric without consideration
Humanity in humans is deeply affected
But we are yet to understand
The consequences our actions
Truth is reality bites.
Yet hope is here to stay.
Savvy
Thought provoking
In a matter of scale
We are destroying nature
Than developing with nurture.
Global warming, melting ice
Depleting forest cover
Flood & earthquakes
All a sign of stark changes…
Yes our world is evolving
We are innovating, exploring
New frontiers in space
But how far have we really arrived?
Savvy
Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.

Waltz of lights on the water….
Down the memory lane
A boat, a river, and I.
A canal trip on the River Reie
Beautiful Bruges at night
Shimmering lights
Dancing on water
Ever so gently
Creating a moment
Worth a capture!
Savvy
Birds fly higher and higher
As if they are as light as a feather
They take themselves lightly!
Full of faith trust & self belief .
To be able to soar high
Onwards & upwards
Choose to let go of burdens
That create density
In thoughts words & deeds
Unfold the wings of freedom
Unfurl in the lightness of being
There is joy in sensing freedom
Thats who you truly are!
