Channelling Embodiment: Artwork by Savvy Raj
On Embodiment
Immerse yourself completely in your passion
Your every expression of it is what makes it tangible
As you direct your focus to its manifestation
As you keep moving from the abstract to the concrete
As you recognize the gifts of life and connect with it.
Your engagement will and perseverance will take you through
That is what creates possibilities beyond limitations.
To realise your dream, you embody it.

Creativity is propelled
In every appreciation of what is…
For creativity feeds on creative thoughts.
Every life is creative in its own way.
Unique is the human mind
It takes strength of the interconnects
And creates expression of its own being.
To acknowledge and appreciate another
Is to open the channels of creativity
In accommodation as much acceptance
Of the infinite potential of possibilities
That arises in the moment.
It gives wings to create & explore more
It widens the gamut of ones horizon
But most of all it creates a balance
Between action and inaction
Between creation to pause in gratitude.
To honour the beauty that abounds
Lifting off clouds of self absorbtion.
To witness in wonder of sheer awe
And joys of nature and nurture.
A much needed act so share
That nourishes creative instincts
To create some more.

Writing is an art. Steering and shaping thoughts to create and inspire is an exploratory journey. In learning to write, and widening the scope of creativity, the experience of reading others work, and sharing reflections of and with others is a expansive phenomena for any writer to improve their work.
Appreciation is an evolved response that is a double ended tool to instill & invoke creative flow in the self and others.
Savvy
Every artistic endeavour flourishes in exploration and discovery of the creative abundance. In understanding the nuances of the interconnects that manifest, greater perspective is revealed.
Every artist inspired or is propelled to create by many facets of artistic energies and it’s interplay.
What is truly wonderful is in the depth of creativity lies utter humility in the realms of the learnings yet unravelled.
Life’s lessons for one and all!
To learn anything profound
That gets you changing the self
That transforms thoughts
To transcend the mundane
In contemplation and reflection.
To response and action
Practice is the best teaching.
To teach is to engage whatever the age.
Teaching the young
A child is reflexive and responsive
And absorbs in the new like a sponge.
To teach the young is no easy task
It can be a task that is daunting
And yet very rewarding at the same time.
To truly change the world for the better
We need to teach them, love for life and living.
We need to speak with compassion for them to follow suit
We need to share and express ourselves
We need to treat one other with kindness.
We need to be caring and considerate consistently.
We need to share more of ourselves
We need to honour our commitments.
We need to reach out and help another.
We need to encourage and appreciate
For these are what gets imprinted in their hearts
For acts of goodwill leave a lasting impression.

On Black and White Artistry
Black and white may be excluded
From the family of colours.
But the tints, tones & shades
Find a family of their own….
In the enigmatic monochrome
And the elegance they exude
Borders on sheer simplicity
And dares on the utter sophistication.
In a world of colours that we may see
Using tonal contrast creates drama
Using light to capture textures.
Form and shape makes a difference.
Devoid of distractions of colours
Evocative captures, quality of lighting
Shifts focus on the ethereal elements
And accentuates the light and shadows.
Black and white photography
Flatters in a timeless way
At times it elevates, the subjects beauty
Creating an enigmatic dimension.
Presenting my artwork above
Titled : Chakra (Wheel ) above that felt right to me…
Only in monochromatic elegance
Of Black & White shades and tones.

Life is full of awe and wonder
For wonder reveals the soul of the being.
As awe springs forth from the heart of the living.
Amazing are the insights in the keenness of wonder …
To delve deeper than what’s visible in contemplation
To care to discover the mystery in anticipation
To appreciate with discernment than discrimination
To witness the unfolding in patience of observation.
The intention creates the perspectives in the dimensions
The adaptation untangles the transition
Between the illusions & manifestations in creation .
Only a heart and mind that is willing to acknowledge beyond the strife.
Unearths the undiscovered gifts of life..
As the heart widens its gamut of being
The horizon uncovers the abundance.

‘To dance is to converse with your soul in oneness’

You and your thoughts
You think that you own your thoughts
Well, your thoughts are not your own
They come through you, not from you
For you know not what your next thought may be.
For all matter is energy that flows
In tunes of nature of life
You are the channel that plays an important part.
You are like a vessel, that contains a thought.
And in that time that you hold the thought
Before it passes you by
You have a choice of steering it
In your unique way as you are meant to do
For thoughts may come
And thoughts may go
It is what you choose to do
with the thought,
That makes all the difference.
To pause and reflect.
To notice and and witness.
To observe and take charge.
To sense and to know.
To appreciate and let go.
All is with in and around you.
You and your thoughts.

Who says poetry is just made of words?
There is poetry in the melody of tunes.
There is poetry that flows in colour and hues.
There is poetry in the joy of two beating hearts as one.
There is poetry in shaping clay on a potter’s wheel.
There is poetry in the ebb and flow of waves.
There is poetry in the gushing streams of the wilderness.
There is poetry in the chirping of birds.
There is poetry in the joy of a heartfelt smile.
There is poetry in dewdrops dancing on leaves.
There is poetry in the stroke of brush on paper.
There is poetry in the heart of two dancing souls.
There is poetry in the ecstatic tango of the feet.
There is poetry in the hearts of lovers uniting.
There is poetry of divinity in faith and prayer.
There is poetry in sacred geometry.
There is poetry in the elements of nature.
If we choose,
There is poetry in the magic of life and living.
And then comes the poetry of the pen to paper waxing eloquent.
For yet, we love to read words to sense the unique poetry that we actually are.
Poetry is in who we are, as we are, the way we are…
As is the flow, the flow is us.
We are born of the poetry of stars,
Of spaces in betwixt and between.
We are verses in vividity
Just as much in subtlety
And in sublimity.

What makes a job well done?
What makes excellence a standard?
What makes one stand out a cut above the rest?
What is aesthetics after all?
What differentiates the good better and the best?
All is a matter of approach in every field of life. A shift in the perspectives brings home, amazing solutions. An approach that is creatively expansive than confounding, opens a box of possibilities. We are all equipped to reach out into our own creative potential by just empowering ourselves with techniques of approaching a situation at hand.
Every one of us is endowed with the potential to develop our artistic abilities and approach with a creative eye. It’s a matter of putting the principles into practice and taking that giant leap of faith.
Artist and Creativity:
Creativity blooms in every acknowledgement of interconnectedness. To profess any creative reflection as just mine alone is too limiting in the larger picture. As any exercise to envision beyond, needs to step beyond time frames, to flow along in the subtlety of the eternal wisdom. In fact, our creative enrichments are a reminder of the beauty within that is as unique as every one of us in its similarities as much as the differences and yet deeply aligned to learnings in the consciousness of the interdependence.
Although as an artist we may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow. As soon as the clarity of the interdependence reigns in the hearts, all thoughts transform creatively as per the seeing beyond looking, in the gratefulness of both the subtlety and starkness of the interdependence.
Creativity is a tool and treasure for the taking in your hands. Do something with it that only u can.
As no one possess your uniqueness.
And do that which calls out from your being.
Trust creativity for its latent powers that can be unleashed in the acknowledgement.
Explorations in creativity at play or work by chance or in a structure boosts the chances of emerging into patterns of successful design.
Classic learning by trial and error, doing and undoing in a repetitive way also offers a lot of scope for creative breakthroughs
Whether it is the movement of our bodies and our thoughts that get stirred creating new correlations and understandings on a simple nod, a tug, a tap, a touch has immense potential to create waves of energy.
And thus in thinking with our movements, we can bring out nuances of many complex relationship patterns to notice.
Ingrained points of reference can be a hard thing to let go once you have them in you as trained dancers musicians or artists. To allow things to settle in without internal or external interference can be quite a disconcerting task for most of us. As we are often used to creating a connected flow of thought …thought tend to arrange themselves in the pattern by habit.
To find your own sense of flow and then create needs more than a receptive mind which is open to possibilities. Creativity flourishes in moving beyond the box stepping out of the emerging visages in the interpretation, time and time again.
Every creative endeavour is rooted in a dance of the energy within and around us … the dynamics of integration embodies the creative output. A movement that is influenced in the tidal wave of both gravitational and centrifugal force of thoughts.
Create, with all of you
For that’s what it takes
All of you!

My Artwork : Fire on Ice.
Icy crystal crags turn to crimson hues.
Burning bright and fiery red
Lava river gushing forth
Peaked only by the crackling sounds of Ice on Fire
While the blazing river of molten snow
Flows on until it’s time to freeze its own flame.
The final countdown is just the same
Elements behave true to their form
And all is well back to base.
And time and life moves on beyond remorse
For Nature too is in no hurry to race
It takes its own shape and course
To begin to flow again at its own pace.

Green and saffron
colors of prosperity and detatchment.
One leads to attach,
One to detatch.
Both gives fulfillment
One externally while
the other internally.
Both in abundance.
No force , in free will.
Selecting the path is in our choices.
Anjana
Above is a photo I took at my home in my terrace garden which invoked an interpretation from my mother Anjana this morning.
Green for prosperity (green earth full of hidden treasures), saffron is for detatchment (color code for sanyasam or renunciation).
Sharing this as it speaks so simply of the juxtaposition of balance in nature that abounds. In colour, form, shape etc in all perspectives of life and living.

A circle of thoughts. http://www.savvyraj.com
Every one of us has the ability to create the strength of the circle within us and it can start with movements in grace of connectedness to the powers within.
Every thought can be chosen to reflect a flow of hope and goodwill . Every deed that follows then will someway reflect that very thought and that would be the strength of the circle amplified.
When there is harmony in our thoughts and the core intention within…Peace and Goodwill reigns in our hearts .

My artwork today!
Sharing an interpretation…sent by my dear mother.
Towards Clarity
Converging from all directions.
With unformed shapes, unlinked thoughts. Merging at the centre as a Guiding Star
The sign of hope, light and promise for a positive tomorrow, filled with joy n cheer.
Have a wonderful day!
Mirage of the moment
For here we exist and live
Carrying on thinking this is life
Feeling and sensing what is felt
Unaware of the mirage of this moment.
Here and there.
Everything is as much as it is not
All in this vortex of time caught
Sharing spaces
In these so called places …
We stand breathing
In the betwixt and between
The blurring line
Of the so called real and unreal.
Each steadfast in thought and opinion
Of deed and action
Hoping to leave impression
On these shifting sands of time.
Here and there and everywhere…
