To all my dear lovely ‘ Friends from all around this beautiful world’!
Between friends…not for us the bondage’s of time, space and superficiality or distance… thoughts are words unspoken but heard joyously without distraction.
The simple presence of a friend is always welcome, never intrusive; thereby an answer to our unspoken needs without questions.
It’s at times a validation of all that we stand for and often enough maybe just a forethought thrown in wisely in our direction which would be wise to be paid a heed to.
A confidence builder, a care giver, a mutual thought processor, a symbiotic thinker, a common goal sharer, a wisdom enhancer, a mood up lifter an energy booster, a health facilitator, a friend is so much and so much more… endless conversations completely whimsical, utterly important, at times all that is the simple need of the moment .
In all, having the privilege of a good friend is a conscious movement towards light and all that’s bright.
Cheers to the good friend who manifests in our life and makes our living fine!
Treat the self with dignity Create your life by owning up to the person you are. Value yourself enough to be yourself.
Care to be your own best friend!
As you heartfully accept and trust yourself,
The intuitive you already knows your path.
You will be guided to where you ought to be,
And you will awaken to what you ought to do.
So, treat yourself lovingly.
Be an ally, not an enemy to yourself.
Care to be good to yourself
Because in sifting through this journey of life,
It truly helps to have a friend in you.
There is more to loving the self than what meets the eye. The heartfelt self-centering in every step of the way of evolving, from within to the without, is a deeper understanding that the world needs kindness even more. And it needs to move from core consciousness outward and circulate in the flow.
As you feel comfortable in connecting with who you are, as you are, you feel comfortable connecting with the people around you.
Treat the self lovingly, the best you can, no matter the circumstances, and you will emanate the love that you sense from within all around you and into the world at large.
Life becomes easier and lighter to handle as you strengthen your inner spirit and move away from self-sabotaging behaviours.
Believe in yourself to be all that you can be; you owe it to the life in you. As you start loving yourself, you start to believe in yourself, and as you start to believe yourself, you begin to value your life, and as you begin to value your life, you begin to define the purpose of your being.
A few tips to being your own best friend:
Believe that you matter, and never ever take yourself for granted.
Trust your inner spirit; remember you are unique; and trust all is well.
Keep choosing positive and pleasant thoughts, and care to step out of your own way.
Behave responsibly, and choose to live your life lovingly.
Respect and take care of your body, mind and spirit.
Love yourself as you are, but care to evolve for the better.
Changing times reflect the changing music. The heart knows what it wants and guess we tune in to certain frequencies that resonate with our being. But we also need to take into account our physiology and emotions playing a major role in our choice of what appeals, having said that I see music of today catering to quite a cross section of choices and customizing to varied segments in the genres . Speaking of which there are so many new genres today. Mainstream music too is divided and the success and hits are truly about reaching out and making an impact through clever marketing gimmicks of social media, mega bucks and the smart exposure through social branding and image building. Yes the world of music is getting more and more complicated indeed.
Song and Sense vs Noise and Nonsense
Are times gone when songs were composed and enjoyed as an art purely for the sake of evoking and revelling in a certain feeling. Such musicians now are a rarity and maybe far and few, subdued and marginalized as a minority. Perhaps many are clueless how to survive by adapting to fast changing times and tastes. It is truly getting more and more about fame and fortune and about selling gigs and minting money on the go. Majority of it is so much about daring innuendos in lyrics that leave nothing to imagination often senseless without any inspiring or impactful message. It is often all noise and nonsensical words without anyone getting a hang of what it truly attempts to convey. Perhaps this world is too busy running a rat race and has no time to appreciate the profound. Who knows,may be an app or two are already out there to help in doing so.
Role of Money vs the musician and his music.
Music is a creative endeavour that is born from a labour of love for the art and appreciation of the notes the beats the rhythm, tbe lyrics the melody etc all coming together in the synchrony. So every musician feels justified about his creativity as it is truly unique. Yet countless singers songwriters composers of all times often may have experiences of choosing between creating songs for the audience and songs from their heart as for oft it is a compromise to create or perform to cater to the masses. So it is truly a wonderful treat when the two come together in harmony.
In defense of the music and the musicians
Music can be elusive yet effusive
Explosive and yet an epitome of blissfulness.
You may choose to dance and flow it with it
And know how blessed are those
Who can create music to tune into
Yet you may not own it
You simply owe it your joy!!
Ever green Music : Bonding boundlessly
Speaking for an evolving world ….Sure these are changing times we are hearing more and more experimental sounds and the new generation is ready to break new grounds and shift perspectives. But the truth of the matter is some songs stay evergreen no matter the era or genre and all ages tune in to listen and enjoy it and bond in the name of music. Now thats what I call music .
Music is eternal and has no timeframe as we tune in we care to listen and enjoy the sounds in the space between the notes.
If you think likewise as well would you care to share one of your all time favourite songs that fill up your senses and makes for a great listening experience…
I have a huge list and here are a few that come to mind now…
Unforgetable by Nat king Cole
What a wonderful world! Louis Armstrong
Imagine John Lennon
Stand by me Ben King
Sounds of Silence Simon & Garfunkel
Blowing in the wind Bob Dylan
Hotel California Eagles
Heal the world MJ
Dance me to the end of love Leonard Cohen

Is the intentional shift called a conscious choice.

Have you felt like reaching out with all your heart?
Have you held another’s hand in your hand?
Great is the healing in a caring touch.
One handhold can lift a broken spirit.
One hug can heal another soul.
One step to reach out can tug at another’s heartstrings.
One touch of kindness can make all the difference.
Great is the healing in a caring touch.
Both life and living can at times turn cold
When the children grow and empty their nests,
When life becomes too busy to be,
When relationships start to lose their meaning,
When tired body leaves one forlorn,
When thoughts seem to turn anxious,
When moments seem to drag,
When a sense of utter loneliness prevails,
Whenever there are feelings of helplessness.
Remember to reach out and hold a needy hand
As the power of healing is in a caring touch.

Titled: ‘Transcendence– Clarity amidst the chaos in the Interconnects ‘.
From circles in the spheres
And shapes unknown
Of thought to imagination
You to me is a continuum
Of expression in life and living.
As you and I see it
In unique ways.
Every perspective
Every interpretation
Creates shifts in space
To accommodate every emergence
And all matters
In the infinity of being
Beyond scale or count
And boundless beyond measure.
Every single flicker in participation
Every bit of intention
Every action is your contribution.
Impacting the world for you and for me.
Leaving imprints in time, altering the energy
Such is your value in the synergy.
Care to sense the responsibility
In making sense of it all!
Savvy Raj
All our insights and shares in understanding and the uncertainity, in clarity amidst the chaos, create the shape of things to come and therein is the reason to continue on the path of shaping ourselves by chiselling at a transformation towards transcendence. Savvy

Conversations in Oneness
To dance is to converse with your soul in oneness.
To dance is to acknowledge the living you in this moment
To dance is to move with your soul’s longings in this present now.
To dance is to feel the rhythm of your own beating heart.
To dance is dare to reach beyond the spaces visible.
To dance is to sense the magic as you touch the intangible …
To dance is to sense the preciousness of time.
As it glides with your movements sublime
In every move, the heart and mind is looped in joyousness
In every flight is the beauty of lightness …
To dance is to be connected to your being
In the contentment of life and living!
Savvy
I love to dance…
In every moment of my life….I relate to the fluidity of movements we make, to the rhythm of the words we write, to the harmony in the words we speak, to the synchrony of the breaths we take, to the connectedness in the flow of thoughts we have , to the strength in the similarity of one being to the other, to the heightened awareness of feelings and emotions to the consciousness of every deed and actions, to the mind and body connection we touch upon with a simple dance.
Dancing regularly has the power of release … from inhibitors like fear, seclusion, loneliness depressive states, mood swings, lack of confidence, social reservations and lack of communication. An hour of dancing regularly can bring a spring in the step and smile on one’s lips.
That said there are some parameters to take note of for enhanced benefits from dancing which need to be mentioned.
The dance and you:
Every individual is unique and it would be good to start learning gradually with an appropriate dance form suited to their innate nature and choice.
For example, there is no reason to push a beginner beyond their boundaries at they are introduced to certain dance movement without consent and choice. As the benefits of dancing can be seen when they love what they learn and dance what they love.
Take it easy and enjoy the journey!
Dance is not a war with oneself or another it is about being in harmony and at peace with the self so as to enjoy the dance.
The trainer the teacher you learn from always plays a much bigger role in making you love or hate what you learn.It is a huge responsibility as a teacher than to send out positive reflection appreciation and encouraging signals to communicate the power of dance and movement.
Although there are many wonderful teachers out there, try to work with someone chosen according to the goal plans you set for yourself as you begin to learn. That said …dedication discipline, attendance punctuality, appearance personal hygiene and faith and trust in your efforts are going to play a major role in the efforts from both sides.
Today as we celebrate the International Dance Day … I dedicate this post to the celebration of ‘Dance in and around us to the Dance and the Dancer in us all.’
Time heals wounds and brings on wisdom as the pain settles in course. This helps in most cases when there are no answers for questions that have no end. Life is easier when time moves on and one lets things to settle without raising a storm.
Healing happens in accommodation and acceptance, in the understanding of an issue at hand as much as in acknowledgement and acquisition of a cure and the options available.
Intention begins the healing…
Actions takes the course
Cultivation of patience continues the healing
Dedication to the action ultimately heals.
So try to take care of any deviation disturbance and fluctuation from the path.
Healing the world through the art of giving
Give that which you may feel you have a lack for. Give of yourself more. And you will find giving the true nature of being.
There is an abundance of love within for you to realise. You just have to acknowledge its presence in your life. It is always in and around you waiting to envelop you for your own preservation.
It is the mental makeup that needs clarity amidst the reigning chaos. All the storms all the obstacles will be surmountable in the realisation of your potential to give more of yourself to yourself and then extending that to the world at large. The energy of love you help create has immense value to our world. Every vibration matters in space and giving positively manifesting with love and resonates the peace and goodwill across the dimensions. Such is the healing power of giving.
And our world needs this most in every moment … Care to give?
