SUN STORM IN MUMBAI

Deep thinking......so many thoughts....i watch my emotions rise since i heard of mumbai......facebook, news channels, phone calls,,,,,,so many mediums of communication.....technology at its peak....yet so much helplessness in the face of terror.....a black hole gaping at all of us..........
First thought...is everybody i know safe?
second thought.......what is being done...is it enough?
third thought.....what if the whole of India walked out on the street.....would it help to have a movement to stop terrorism....a common man movement......
fourth thought .........waht if ex military men got together and formed anti terror initiatives.......training people to be strong mentally, physically, emotionally....
and THEN A TORRENT OF OVERLAPPING THOUGHTS....
FEAR BREEDS FEAR.....who will bell the cat? who will take the lead? is that what is responsible for just a small group of well armed people and intelligently trained people to destroy more than ten times their number.....
Is this not a pity? Might is right? IS it really? then why are billions across the world watching helplessly as dreams burn, cities burn, generations burn.....


Are we becoming a generation of souls used to watching such events as we watch soap operas......?

FEELINGS .......sadness, anger, fear, fatalistic, all a mixed bag of emotions.....
Ok the city survives and moves on .....till when? till the next attack? and the next and the next?
there is no running away.......from the TRUTH.......
Each one has a part to play .......let's play it.
What can a civilian do to combat terrorism in his/her own way?

Please share suggestions/ideas/feelings.....let it come from your heart......
and yes there is strength and power in all of us ....
Can we wake up and realise that potential in each one of us to make a difference....

WITH GREAT RESPECT AND LOVE.
I invite you all to have your say through Nisbat.....

I a Mumbaikar watching my city for the umpteenth time....am seething with anger at what is happening.....am feeling sad for what is happening......am exploring ways I can discover my own strength to fight this energy.......

Please pray for the people who are suffering since yesterday,
Please feel some part of what they must be going through,
Please send thoughts of love and peace to places of unrest wherever they are on the globe.....

Rebirthing

Shanti Devi is a multiversal international breathing – guide and performer, having a practice in Amsterdam and India.She is specialized in group-intensives, also gives retreats in Greece, Tanzania and India and coaches young creative desicion-makers at the Fashion Institute Amsterdam and gives seminars with ArtinRhythm based in the Hague for KLM,Mercedes Benz, etc. She is known for her no-nonsense style and working with heart and thinks change can be delightful & easy too.
Rebirthing is a deep transformatory breathing process that frees limiting thoughts and releases restrictive blockages in the body and cellular memory, to increase your vitality and life-urge. Studies have shown we use only 20 /30 % of our breathing capacity. Imagine giving yourself much more , how energized you will feel. Rebirthing is a discovery-journey into your core
It can be seen as a preventive measure for stress –related problems or as a deeper desire to connect with yourself, grow, learn and maintain your natural sense of well-being. This breathwork is about self-empowerment in an experiential way . Learning to give and receive is also part of the work.
Group-rebirthings often lead to an unusual bonding between participants as it is quite a spectacular experience to share.
Body-intelligence games , mexican martial arts , wishwork and other suprises can be included to disrupt the automatic behaviour and work on teambuilding, goalsetting and being yourself which is: infinite potential. During these uncertain times especially,... we need to breathe ! It is safe to breathe for everyone , even asthmatics and hyperventilation patients , it will help them clear it.
Groups of 10-15 people can be accomodated over two day workshops.
Please mail to puneeta.birring@yahoo.com if inclined to arrange rebirthing sessions.

medieval connect

Abbotts Ann is one of the very few parishes in which the medieval custom of awarding Virgins' Crowns has survived. In the early days of Christianity, funeral garlands were emblems of Virgin Martyrs and the practice of making maidens' garlands presumably derives from that. Shakespeare, in referring to the burial of Ophelia, says "she is allowed her virgin crants (crown)". A crown may he requested by the relatives of the deceased person, who must have been born, baptised, confirmed and have died, unmar-ried, in the parish, and must have been of unblemished reputation. The crown must be made of freshly cut hazelwood (virgin wood), and is decorated with black and white paper rosettes. Five parchment gauntlets hang from the frame. On one of these are written the name, age and year of death of the deceased, and on each of the other four a verse of a hymn is inscribed. At the funeral service the crown is suspended from a white rod and carried in procession by two young girls dressed in white. After the funeral the crown is hung from the front of the gallery for three weeks, and if it is not challenged it is then hung from a bracket near the ceiling of the church, with a scutcheon bearing the name and date.
