Attract a Perfectly Positive Life !

                                

                        Living in the now is a perfectly positive life indeed! How can that happen?

 Well simply put , you must let that happen by going with the flow and yet again with a developed awareness of things around you. Feel every moment blossoming into the next than just getting overtly entangled in that moment.Many beautiful moments are lost because the self is too busy worrying about what was and what will happen instead of being in the moment that is and enjoyably so!

There is nothing that is totally perfect life maybe but there is always scope for the better!
 Finding joys in the simple things of life is perfection personified because it means you are able to sift through the pain  and find happiness no matter how or what the circumstances are . Many of us have yet to master this considerably simple act in our lives. We all  have the memory left in us to be so since we were children ,... cos children are happy because they are able to see the simple things of life as they are without over analyzing and creating complex duality of thoughts  for themselves. So somewhere in us we all have the power of happiness and simplicity which at times are covered by layers of shielding that become weapons of self destruction  of our positive possibilities.As a  result it creates a build up of negativity and blockages in our systems making sickness and ill health a repeating pattern  in our lives.

  



 When we channelize our thoughts , actions and deeds to a more higher plane of consciousness instead of the mundane ,the healing white light envelops us increasing our immunity , and our ability to see and accept life's, infinite spectrum of colors with unconditional joy !





Any of us can  manifest a perfectly  positive life by being more flexible, understanding , receiving, sharing ,open & giving without holding back . 
 Some  behavioral shifts to consider are
 1: Avoid Sarcasm & Criticism in thoughts words and action
 2:If you are in a state of anger and negativity, pause and turn your attention to focus on your own breathing.
 3:Do try to act compassionately starting with a single deed a day  :A kind thought leads to an act of kindness and creates a chain of positiveness. This is Self healing and Self Empowering.
 4:Share your knowledge without boundaries Being a giver after all makes  you a stronger person
These are great attitudes to develop if we are to live a fuller, richer  and  a successful life....

The space between the steps


The space between the steps




Just like music is also in the spaces between the notes,  there is dancing in the spaces between the steps ..... Its only when we become aware of the value of spaces between the  thoughts that we can truly reflect and revel and dance with ease through our lives. 
The pinnacle of access to our realization of the creative entities at work  would actually be in the silence , in the intentions, in an emotional journey of profound fulfillment.
 The trick is to find that point of immense creative surge and be able to nurture it . 
Rest and activity go together just as much as night and day... And like the yin and the yang , there  must be pauses in between the breathes , an inaction in between the action , which will heighten the clarity , purity , and the intensity of that which is evolving .

Its disheartening  that our world has become so hyperactive . Multitasking has become the order of the day  . people spend time having dinner in front of televisions , reading is done with music, and  mobile phones calls cuts through a real conversation. So much has there been an abuse of our bodies and mind that we truly have forgotten the importance of non activity .. The silence between your actions or movements  are the bridge to our totally  conscious experience and more so the greater your awareness the greater the potency of the action itself . 


Dancing distresses the body mind and spirit holistically . Taking a moment to value the steps you dance together , valuing the music  you are dancing to, appreciating this moment& appreciating the partner you have in this moment will only cultivate the value for oneself and will help in centering oneself deeper in the action with a joyful heart and soul.


 When you Dance if you still your thoughts to  simply learn to flow with the partner , the atmosphere ,the music you will undoubtedly enliven yourself in the process and what you have is a beautiful dance of togetherness bridging the spaces between the steps with a conscious awareness ...... And that is  when dancing feels like a miracle that's happening!


Few more thoughts in the flow....


Start the day with a  few minutes of silence and observing the breath  
Take time to pause and watch a natural scenery view and try to be one with it . .. May be  a sunrise , a sunset, a beach view watching the waves , the stars in the sky , the moon , the sky , or a rose or any flower or potted  plant , tree in your garden . 
 Have moments where you are free of your cellphone , tv , computer, 
any electronic appliances  

Make a point of actually listening and understanding  as others speak and allow other to speak as much as yourself .
 And also  accept every moment in the life you have now and cherish it for what it is ....Cultivating  an attitude of gratitude :)

A DANCING SOUL:A DANCING HEART

A DANCING  SOUL:A DANCING HEART

There is something endearing about dancing with a partner, it’s the power to attract another magnetically and charmingly interact with another’s energy and spirit through dance movement.
A prerequisite to dancing well is one’s ability to take an emotional journey and open oneself and to share and connect to another’s energies .This is what engages the audience and keeps them enthralled. It’s beyond the physicality of steps, patterns, touch, or even the right dance hold or dance frame. It’s in the ability to dance with space, time, yet in complete awareness of one another heart of movement.
 I had an opportunity to experience this just the other day when I witnessed all of this and more in  Rohini  (my mother’s friend actually)  a family friend of many years . I have known her to be a simple religious and a happy go lucky person who also may have been through much personal turmoil like so many others but yet has managed a cheerful disposition  every time I met her.

 Her  characteristic sunny nature would never give away the strife behind the smile. The occasion was her 25 th wedding anniversary  that I got invited to , and as we reached the venue  the couple were at the dais, very understated , a picture of simplicity & composure.
The evening took off , with all their close friends  having some wonderful and touching things to say about them both . I had passed on the mike at that time ,as I guess, I  hadn't collected my thoughts to speak all of the sudden .



There was a small dance floor  which soon got filled up with people who were initially hesitant  As the music filled the air   many more of us started getting into the groove.and dancing . And then I saw her , it was her in her element ,dancing from her heart and soul . it was fantastic to see her energetic dancing in full display for the world to see , Her ever calm and composed husband  seemed mesmerized by all the fun moves she did . In fact everyone was charmed by her passion and for that moment I realized just then that her joyful dancing soul had peeped out from the depths of it all.


 Kudos to her for keeping the spirit of dancing alive in her through all these years .God bless!

 Dancing from the heart always counts more than perfection of steps. And that’s the ultimate challenge… To keep the mind open,ready, receptive, giving and simple enough to ….
Dare to step out of comfort zones.
 My salute to this dancing soul !

All is well within ... when I am in the Now

All is well within ... when I am in the Now

I simplify my thoughts, to be present in the moment enough to enjoy them.
I dwell in this moment so that I can smile in my breathing and this is the only truth for me …
At the heart of my being I know I have all that I may need,to be all that I can be …. All is well within.


The truth is not chanced upon by search and research alone but by fair introspection and non-judgemental contemplation.


But to reach where I am headed I must value time enough,to be present in the now and share love enough, to nourish and sustain the soul that I dwell in.
