Now, I am rejoicing in this moment (poem)

As I am getting present to each moment,
I realize what a waste of precious energy,
It is to think about, he was so mean to me,
Or I would be happy, when he will turn nice.

Creating Happiness by Choice (poem)

Whenever I am feeling pressured, I am learning to observe myself.

For, if I react to the pressure, I am leading to my own misery.

And, if I let the pressure go, then, I am remaining stable.

Since, I am choosing happiness, I've got to, let it go.

When I complain, I feel unhappy.

Have Fun, But Within Limits (poem)

Empty roads do not mean, I can drive faster.
They just imply, that I have more space.
They don't suggest, do what you feel.
They simply say, happy driving.

My first driving ticket (poem)

I was in the car pool lane in a freeway with my kids.

The cop car was way behind me, and I was driving at 70-75mph.

Then his car came right after me, as if asking me to speed up ahead.

To give him way, I sped upto 80 mph and just then I saw his blinking lights.

I pulled over to the right following his blinking lights and got a citation for speeding.

I was astonished, because I thought I did the right thing by speeding up instead of blocking him.

But, he told me, come what may, the speed limit has to be 65 mph, even in any lane, under any circumstances.

I realized that, perhaps I have got to stay within the speed limit, whether the road is empty, or am being pressured to go fast.

Laser mind (poem)

Just as a laser amplifies, whatever be the weak input signal, so does my mind.

When I contemplate, about my worry, it multiplies, and I keep on tensing up.

When I focus on, what I am thankful for, it increases, and so does my comfort.

So, its on me, to relax or not, by thinking "not-fair" or "I-Thank-God-for...".

Seeing Matters (poem)

When I see it through gratitude,
everything seems like a gift,
When I see it through problem,
everything seems stressful.

Right now, I am full of gratitude...(poem)

for the love that He has showered on me,
for the honor that He has given to me,
for the alarms He has signaled towards me,
for the pointers He has arranged for me,
for the people He has provided around me,
for the circumstances He has offered me,
and above all, something most dear to me,
for the devotion He has blessed upon me.

I am choosing to deflate pressure (poem)

Pressure is the act of pressing.
Stress is a form of pressure.
I get stressed when I react.
I react involuntarily.

I am sensing pressure surrounding me.

I am noticing what throws me off.
I am choosing to relax that.

Its smarter to remove the source of spill (poem)

When I am not careful about what's hidden under a pile of papers,
Then, while shifting the papers, I spill the juice underneath and mess up.

Perhaps, it would have been smarter to first clear up the entire table,
And then rearrange the papers, cautiously moving the juices away from papers.



When I am not aware about what's going on inside my own mind,
Then, while interacting with others, something happens and I react,

Perhaps, it would be smarter to first reflect on what all triggers me up,
And before starting a conversation, cautiously work on calming my buttons.

Everything needs care (poem)

When my hair are limp, they just hang there and bother my eyes.
However, when I condition them, they fall gracefully and stay off my eyes.

When my relationships are dry, they just are there and burden my life.
However, when I nuture them, they bloom with aliveness and are great fun.

Now, I wish to step out of the prison of my environment (poem)

Whether, I am stuck in traffic, when I really had to reach there in time,
Whether, my husband is talking disrespectfully about me, when I am around an old friend,
Whether, my kids are being their stubborn self, when I am wanting them to bring out their best,
Wherever I am or with whoever I am, now I am choosing to be cheerful instead of feeling helpless.

When going gets tough, faith gets stronger (poem)

When things seem to be going rough,
know that its happening for my growth.

When things seem to be very painful,
know that divine is healing old wounds.

When things seem to be absolutely chaotic,
know that Universe is aligning things in life.

When things seem to be extremely miserable,
know that its time to seek constantly from God.

Memorable moments (poem)

Now pleading needs to become assertion (poem)

I was visualizing,
all those men who have,
tried to grab my breasts,
lustfully taking me by shock.

I was pleading to them,
"I am not an object of lust,
I don't wish to be treated like that,
instead I am divine soul, sharing divine love."

Everything is in perfect order (poem)

I was in painful tears,
during this morning's cleaning,
of my thought's impressions in mind,
as if something was surfacing from deep within.

I was in an easing contentment,
when I believed that divine is doing it,
for it was much needed to clear my blockages,
and He was surely uprooting something buried from my past.

Sources of fear vary, but fear remains the same. (poem)

My 7 year old son, fears cats and dogs.
My 11 year old daughter, fears vaccinations.
My 42 year old husband, fears money running short.
I am 41, and still fear a lustful attack on my breasts.

I find that, we are all capitivated in the same UNEASINESS.
I realize that, it is so easy to make fun of anothers TENSION.
I understand that, it is very difficult to overcome one's INSECURITIES.
Now, I feel that seeing it from another's perspective, fills me up with EMPATHY.

My ease does not waver, if it leans on the Universe (poem)

We were eating breakfast outside,
and my son was feeling hot in Sun.

I brought out the umbrella for shade,
and tucked its handle behind his chair.

Each time he moved while eating/talking,
his chair wobbled and the umbrella shifted.

Till I unhooked the umbrella from his chair,
and placed it behind the chair on the fence walls.

God, Please remove all that...(poem)

Makes me feel frustrated or angry and replace it with feeling love.

Makes me feel drained or helpless and replace it with feeling lively.

I asked him to stop there and take it back,
When he did not correct those words or his attitude,
I stepped away and a little later sent out a healing prayer.

Each time, I am making a choice (poem)

Each time I radiate love amidst my tears, I feel empowered and cleansed.

Each time I foucs on my failure stories, I feel disheartened and miserable.

Love Vs Fear (poem)

We are always inducing into each other's energy.
If someones constant fears can get induced into me.
Then why can't my love get induced into others?
I guess its all about whose emissions are stronger.

Sex is like Food (poem)

When I have not eaten for a long time, I hog forgetting table manners.

When I like the dish but not the preparation, I eat complaining.
When I like the dish and preparation, I feel fulfilled.

If I wish to be understood, I've got to step into others shoes to understand them.

Exploring Workability amidst Differences (poem)

I like bland food,
for it is,
pleasant to my sense of taste,
and it soothes my digestive system.

My husband likes spicy food,
for it is,
appeals to his sense of taste,
and it's fine with his digestive system.

To take care of family members,
individual needs,
I first cook bland food for everyone,
and serve it with hot peppers to spice it up.

Now, if I can do that with food,
I am wondering,
why is it not possible for me to explore,
and create workablility in every clashing situation?

I am helplessly inducing whatever I am being (poem)

When I am rushing against time,
Then I induce the energy of stress around my happily playing son.

When I am blaming my husband for being uncaring,
Then I induce the energy of frustration and indfference inside my husband.

When I am fearful about my daughter's allergic reactions,
Then I induce the energy of scariness of what might happen even in a birthday party.

When I am consciously radiating love around my family members,
Then I induce the energy of laughter, sharing, ease and fun inside each being in my family.

God, tell me how do I do this? (poem)

Whether it is pizza getting delivered late,
Or it is someone screaming out loud with blame,
Can I be in a place of genuine ease where I am at ease,
and simply observing with a smile which extends from within?

Whether I am narrating my past sickness in self-pity,
Or I am complaining about someone's unkind words towards me,
Can I be in a place of genuine calmness where I am simply narrating,
and just sharing the events in the incident and not my heartfelt emotions?

Why did it take me 41 years to know this? (poem)

That when I create a thought of love,
it, gives rise to warm feelings within,
which begins to convert me into a caring being,
leading to my words and actions exhibiting empathy,
developing into a choice of radiating love above everything,
resulting in self-born baby which is connected to the entire Universe.

And when I create a thought of self-pity,
it, gives rise to exhaustive feelings within,
which begins to convert me into a blaming being,
leading to my words and actions exhibiting frustration,
developing into a choice of complaining constantly everywhere,
resulting in self-born baby which is isolated from everyone close to me.

Being Present to Absence and Presence (poem)

I realized while cleaning the house,
that by thinking about someone,
who is not there around me,
I am dissipating energy.

I realized while brushing my daughter's hair,
that by radiating out love in quietness,
to all who are present around me,
I am rejuvanting energy.
