Anchored Awareness: Feel Power of Doodling in Unleash Cognitive and Literacy Skills

Image
  Anchored Awareness: Feel Power of Doodling to Unleash  Cognitive and Literacy Skills A short note Research has shown that doodling plays a crucial role in enhancing awareness and literacy, as studies indicate it serves as a cognitive anchor that aids in retention, mental clarity, and learning. Neuro-scientific research suggests that doodling is an effective tool for maintaining mental presence and fostering literacy growth through anchored awareness, visual mindfulness, and connections to literacy. Doodling can serve as a pathway to cognitive awareness and literacy across various academic disciplines, as well as facilitate multidisciplinary integration. The convergence of doodling, awareness, and literacy development in STEM can provide a solid and creative foundation in early education. POEM Draw a loop, then another one. Make a web, learning's begun. Lines that twist, and lines that bend. Doodle art, a journey's end. A circle here, a loop goes 'round, Where ideas meet, ...

Transforming Art into a Sacred Soulful Act

Image
  Transforming Art into a Sacred Soulful Act Prayer in art's creation elevates the self, Lifting the spirit from the dusty shelf. With silent grace, the inner depths expand, As vision guides the steady, crafting hand.   Making art a sacred act with soul as canvas, We paint the truths that softly dwell within us. Each stroke becomes a whisper in the dark, A breathless search to catch a holy spark.   Treat art as transcendent, a path to the divine, Where earthly bounds and cosmic lights align.

Art as Sacred Prayer: The Path to Spiritual Self

Image
 Art as Sacred Prayer: The Path to Spiritual Self Sacred Gita, a whispered truth, A timeless path for age and youth. Its pages hold a gentle guide, To peace within, where answers hide. When art is born from heart's deep well, And Gita's wisdom starts to swell, The brush, the pen, the singing voice, Become a prayer, a holy choice. The work transforms, no longer plain, But worship, shedding earthly stain. Each stroke, each note, a whispered plea, To Him, the One, eternally. Art as devotion, pure and bright, Lost in love, a sacred light!

Lord Jagannath: A Poem

Image
Lord Jagannath: A Poem Beyond the stars, a gentle hum, God's silent knowing, where all has come. A boundless mind, in endless space, Holding all life, in tender grace. The universe, a mighty hand, He guides and guards, across the land. He keeps the laws, the right and true, His steady presence, sees us through. In every breath, a gentle sign, His watchful care, forever mine. He feeds the soul, and shields the weak, From every harm, His mercies speak. A cycle turns, of birth and end, He holds it all, a faithful friend. To keep and guard, His wondrous art, A loving father, to every heart.

आलाप' अभ्यास से स्वरों की स्पष्टता, सांस पर नियंत्रण और गले में मधुरता आती है

Image
 भारतीय संगीत में 'आलाप' धीमी गति में बिना किसी ताल-बद्धता के राग के स्वरों का विस्तार है。 इसके अभ्यास से से  स्वरों की स्पष्टता, सांस पर नियंत्रण और मधुरता आती है。  अभ्यास की शुरुआत हमेशा सटीक 'सा' (षड्ज) से करें.  स्वर बिल्कुल भी न भटके。स्वर-स्थान और ठहराव: आलाप में प्रत्येक स्वर का स्थान (पिच) बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है。  किसी एक स्वर पर रुककर उसे सीधा और स्थिर गाने का अभ्यास करें स्वरों के बीच की दूरी को समझना आवश्यक है。 जैसे 'सा' से सीधे 'ग' या 'प' पर कैसे जाएं。 मींड और गमक का प्रयोग करें; आलाप गाते समय एक स्वर से दूसरे स्वर तक बिना टूटे जाने को 'मींड' कहते हैं。  मींड, खटके और कण-स्वरों के अभ्यास से आलाप में भाव पैदा होता है。 आलाप गाते समय अपना मुंह पूरा खोलकर 'आ' शब्द का उच्चारण करें। आ, ना, ता, नोम-तोम का उपयोग: आलाप गाते समय शब्दों (जैसे 'आ') का उच्चारण करें, ताकि गले का खुलापन और सांस का प्रवाह एक समान रहे。  वादी स्वर पर सबसे ज्यादा ठहराव और जोर दें l  आलाप को हमेशा तीन भागों में बांटकर रियाज़ किया जाता है: विलंबित (धीमी ...

Joy in the Present: Embracing Life’s Now

Image
  Joy in the Present: Embracing Life’s Now POEM To be wise, this is the art, Let not sorrow touch your heart. For those who've gone, or who remain, Life's current flows, through joy and pain. The past is gone, a faded dream, The future unknown, misty gleam. Live in the now, with open eyes, Accept the change, beneath the skies. Let go of worries, let them fly, Beneath a clear and open sky. This present moment, full and bright, Is all you have, your guiding light. This life is brief, a passing phase, Embrace its moments, in its haze. So learn and grow, with every breath, And find your peace, until your death.
