Anger-the angry person
Having been labelled an “Angry person” growing up, I simply played the part, not believing that I could change. I mean, that was the label I was given by people I trusted. As I grew older, I learnt, there is no such thing as an “angry person”, I learnt that I was a person, feeling… Continue reading Anger-the angry person
Yin Yang- balance
The age old Yin-Yang symbol of balance can be applied to life in so many ways. One of the ways that truly resonates with me is this.

If we live a mostly unconscious life, we are rocked back and forth… Continue reading The Emotion behind Creative mind

A conscious practice of taking a break, in exactly the ways… Continue reading Pace yourself
Let be, Let go, It is Written
As we are at times gripped tighter by worry and anxious thoughts about what will be, how things will turn out, will the best choices be made, if not what mistakes/accidents will these lead to… and on and on and on. We can return to the present moment with the trust that all that is… Continue reading Let be, Let go, It is Written

To focus on self is being taught to kids in school, in playgrounds, at university, in families and in friendships; and wow, am I… Continue reading Self….
