She is a founder member of the Sahaja Yoga theatre company -Theatre of Eternal Values - and has also been lucky enough to spend time in India studying Indian Classical Singing at the PK Salve Academy of Fine Arts. As none of these activities earn her much of a living, she also has to work sometimes, but tries very hard not to! She loves movies, music, animals & travelling, preferably out of England during winter.

SILENCE

Like the silence of snowflakes

Caressing the Earth in a gentle embrace

Your Love envelops and protects

Nurturing us in the depths of our winter’s discontent

Calming our fears, wiping our tears

With no hint of frustration or impatience

Only the unconditional love

Of a Mother to Her child

Knowing that growth must sprout from seed

To blossom fully when Spring comes.

 

We cling to Your Love

Not fully understanding who we are

Only that we belong to You

And are a part of You

Each of us a tiny cell that makes the whole

 

And in that silence before the Dawn of a new day

We bow down before You

And know that Your Hand guides everything

And Your Eyes see everything

And whether good or bad

There is meaning to it all

 

And in that silence, if we have courage to listen

We hear You in our hearts

And know that all that You are

We are too.

    Very beautiful poem. Each word is so meaningful and true.
    I was having tears in my eyes while reading it. May the love you have expressed for Shri Mataji spreads in each corner of the world.

    …..Like a lake, silent and still, all the beauty of the creation around one, is reflected within…..a realised soul, a heart that watches and receives.

Meditation can be an effective form of stress reduction and has the potential to improve quality of life and decrease health care costs. Meditation involves achieving a state of 'thoughtless awareness' in which the excessive stress producing activity of the mind is neutralized without reducing alertness and effectiveness.
