COLORFUL HOLI

Its vacation time. Holi time !! My little one is excited. Though it will be the third holi for him yet it is some new kind of celebration for him. He was very happy to play with dry colors in his school and now it is one week off for him. He is not really bothered as he hardly understands the meaning of holiday...Ofcourse I am concerned because his schedule will be upset ( as he is very new to the school). Probably these holidays will give him an opportunity of forgetting everything about the school :-).

Through this post I want to wish all my beloved ones and readers a very happy holi. Have a colorful and safe festival. Eat lot of sweets and enjoy the colors.

 

After all its Creativity....

We all are creative in some or the other manner. Creativity or talent can be nurtured and learnt at any age be it during childhood or at an older age. why this subject popped up in my mind is because my two year old son did his first art work. (of course with my help :-)) but it is lovely to see your little one's any first mile stone.

I have inserted his finger painting art work here... more than him I enjoyed the process of finger painting. What I can make out is that there is no age to learn or to enhance your talent. Begin as soon as you realise and wish. It is never too late!!

New Beginning......

It's been very long that I have jotted down something on my personal blog. Things have changed. Life has moved on. Though I have missed writing my experiences on my blog yet as they say it's never too late. So here I am to share my emotions, my experiences and to learn from other bloggers.

I look forward to make new friends here and hopefully get connected to my old buddies :-).

I will end my post with the quote-

YOGA - Is it right for you?

A lot of women perform yoga exercises not just to lose weight or maintain proper body weight but also because they want to be healthy emotionally and mentally. Yoga is also known to contribute to the decrease of a number of problems during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. There is research to prove this, but it’s easy to see the physical, mental, and emotional benefits evident on those women who practice yoga.

Yoga Helps You Cope with a Busy Lifestyle

If you are still undecided about yoga, then there are a number of things about it that will help you decide. One of these is its relevance to today’s world, even if it is one of the most ancient practices of all times.

Yoga is considered as the perfect solution that helps women cope with their busy days and the resulting mental and physical stress. This is especially true if they are working moms who need to deal with the pressures of both work and home. Sitting behind a desk or even driving a car for several hours every day would already result in a woman’s having shoulder and back problems that will not only affect their lives at the office but also at home when they are dealing with the family and household chores.

Choosing the Best Yoga Style Helps

Deciding if yoga is really right for you would also require you to choose the yoga style that will fit your lifestyle, personality, and needs. If you are a working mom, your yoga needs might differ from those women who are just working at the office for long hours every day. As such, it is very important to find the perfect teacher or trainer who has the right knowledge about yoga who is not only qualified and accredited but also compassionate and sensitive to what you really need.

Yoga Styles:

1)Vini Yoga. This is a personal practice that could be developed through the incorporation of meditation, proper breathing, and posture as well as prayer and rituals. The amount of all these aspects that could be incorporated into your yoga practice will have to be changed though as a woman and her needs change and develop. Therefore, if you are still a student or a young professional, then the physical aspects of yoga might be more important for you, while older women might focus more on the spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects.

2)Ashtanga Yoga. Also considered as the power yoga, this style is known to be flowing and athletic. Breathing is very important in this yoga style as a woman flows through a series of postures. This is able to generate a lot of sweat and body heat, thus helping women detoxify their bodies.

3)Ananda Yoga. This yoga style makes use of temperate poses. This is gently meditative and perfect for those who would like to practice a yoga style that helps them to look inwards so they can focus on making their emotions better.

HAPPY HOLI

Wishing all the
friends a very
Happy and Colorful Holi

Smiles n Laughs

Making someone laugh is a great art. We always like to be with a person who is cheerful and makes the surrounding lively. Its not so easy to get a smile on someone’s face. I have a friend with a fabulous sense of humor and not too many people have this rare gift!!

Life is too short to live. We always cherish the happy moments. Just think for giggles, smiles and laughter you earlier had….the very thought will give a pleasant feel. A laughter from the heart is the best remedy of any kind of stress….nowadays laughter clubs are getting popular….So never be miser for giving a Kodak smile and laugh whole heartedly whenever you get a chance… It’s a good exercise for facial muscles as well as it keeps the temper cool and relax in hectic and busy schedules!!

ART OF LIVING

Last few days I was busy with office and art of living course after office. I finished my part 1 course from Art of living. Art Of Living is a NGO founded by Shri Shri Ravishankar. It has got its presence all over the world in 144 countries.

Initially three hour class was looking long after office but I was wrong as the classes proved to be very relaxing and enlightening. The Sudarshan kriya which is invented by Shri Shri is miraculous if one continues to practice that regularly. The course pays attention on our breath. Breathing is an important element for surviving but least to be thought of. Researches have proved that Sudarshan kriya and the accompanying practices (SK & P) enhance health, well-being, and peace of mind.

Apart from Kriya and yoga, sense of belongingness is inculcated. There are many conflicts happening on the name of religion, ethnicity. It is deteriorating the human values. We are one world, one family. The feeling of belongingness cultivates love, understanding, cooperation...these human values are the foundation of social order, justice and progress.

Any one who has attended this course will understand that teachings are same but the technique & approach is different. On the whole the course opens our eyes, mind and heart to how much more meaningful and complete our lives can be and makes us feel happy, peaceful and contented from with in and from the surroundings.
