breakthrough the dichotomy
from left to right
from detail to whole
before, after and in-between
between silence and storms
for the soul to understand
While still breathing through your heart space, stop focusing on counting and start focusing on your feline friend. Just “be with” your cat. You may gaze at them, pet them, or just close your eyes and be with their presence–whatever feels natural.
Believe it or not, that last step is the most important step!
That’s because HeartMath discovered that the activating-of-positive-emotions step is what makes the coherence happen and continue naturally, without requiring you to continue to mentally focus on your breathing rhythm.
They say this step also adds “increased access to intuition and creativity, cognitive and performance improvements, and favorable changes in hormonal balance.”
The breathing gets you started, but then quietly enjoying being with your feline friend keeps you in psychophysiological coherence.
To break it down, here is what’s happening:
Quietly appreciating your cat’s presence -> leads to Heart rhythm coherence -> leads to Breathing rhythm synchronizes with heart -> leads to multiple systems in your body fall into coherence -> leading to: Lowered stress hormone, improved emotional balance, improved mood, improved health and immunity, improved cognitive performance and creativity
Again, this is based on HeartMath’s research data on how we get into biological coherence and how that affects us.

"...fine-tuning our standards, trading one failed ideal for a more promising one.
There is always a more promising ideal. When it appears as a breaking light above the dark horizon, a halo cresting above a colorless cloudbank of boredom, it can look really promising."

Ambernath/Ambarnath is a 10th century temple North East of Bombay built by King Mahamandaleshwar said to be of the Shilahar Dynasty which ruled from 800 to 1240 AD. The temple is built with Hemadpanthi Sculpture style, which is named after it's introducer and founder, the prime minister named Hemadpant in the court of Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri. The period of discovery was during the 13th Century in Maharashtra. Main ingredients in the construction include the black stone and lime, which is locally available.
Other temples with the same style include - Gondeshwar Temple and Aundha Nagnath Jyotirling temple!!
This temple is maintained by the ASI of India and is a protected monument. Ambernath means the King of the Sky, Shiva is the deity, unlike all other Shiva Temples that have a "Lingam" in the Sanctum Sanctorum this temple has a brilliant face of the Lord Shiva. Very peaceful place, in a beautiful setting near a small stream of river.
The temple is strong and wonderful form the inside as well as the outside. There is an open ceiling for the Sanctum Sanctorum and light falls inside in a beautiful stripe!
One of the kind of places that is a beauty in itself but neglected by people and the government and so tourist swarming is less out here!

The morning air is awash with angels.

Poet: Unknown
Someday I'll jump through puddles,
Take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I'll walk across the street,
Or maybe walk in space,
Someday I'll scale a mountain,
Or I'll join a ballet corps.
Someday I'll walk a tightrope,
Or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things,
That only heaven knows,
But for today they're happy
Just to wiggle all their toes
The Shiv Mandir of Ambarnath is also called locally as the Puratana Shivalaya. It is situated 2 km away from Ambernath, a city in the Thane district, an hour east of Mumbai.
One can hire share auto rickshaws right outside the railway stations. The fare is mere Rs 10/-.
It can be counted as one of the many hidden jewels in and around the city; many of which people can find in the surroundings they live in, but get overlooked in the busy schedules.
everything is perfectly and sweetly timed in life when you have fidelity to a gifted purpose.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST)
(Victoria Terminus)
Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus VT (Marathi:छत्रपती शिवाजी टर्मिनस), formerly Victoria Terminus, and better known by its abbreviation CST or Bombay VT, is an historic railway station in Mumbai which serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways. It is one of the busiest railway stations in India, and serves Central Railway trains terminating in Mumbai as well as the Mumbai suburban railway.
Mumbai CST will be upgraded (along with Pune Jn. and Nagpur Jn.) by means of a public-private partnership.
History
The station was designed by Frederick William Stevens, a consulting architect in 1887-1888. He received as payment 16.14 lakh rupees. Stevens earned the commission to construct the station after a masterpiece watercolour sketch by draughtsman Axel Haig. The final design bears some resemblance to St Pancras station in London.
It took ten years to complete and was named "Victoria Terminus" in honour of the Queen and Empress Victoria; it was opened on the date of her Golden Jubilee in 1887. This famous architectural landmark in Gothic style was built as the headquarters of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway. Since then the station came to be known as Bombay VT.
In 1996, in response to demands by the Shiv Sena and in keeping with the policy of renaming locations with Indian names, the station was renamed by the state government after Chatrapati Shivaji, a famed 17th century Maratha king. On 2 July 2004 the station was nominated as a World Heritage Site by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO.
In 2008, the station was featured prominently in the Academy Award winning film Slumdog Millionaire.
Terrorist attacks in 2008
On 26 November 2008, two terrorists entered the passenger hall of the CST, opened fire and threw grenades at people. The terrorists were armed with AK-47 rifles. More than 50 people were killed in the attack. (For this reason, photography is not permitted inside the building.)
The station building was designed in the Victorian Gothic style of architecture. The building exhibits a fusion of influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture and traditional Indian architecture. Internally, the wood carving, tiles, ornamental iron and brass railings, grills for the ticket offices, the balustrades for the grand staircases and other ornaments were the work of students at the Bombay School of Art. The station stands as an example of 19th century railway architectural marvels for its advanced structural and technical solutions.
The network of suburban trains (locally known as locals, short for local trains) radiating out from this station is instrumental in keeping Mumbai running. The station serves long-distance trains as well as two of the suburban lines-the Central Line and the Harbour line. It is the westernmost terminus of Central Railway. Local trains terminate at Karjat, Kasara, Panvel, Khopoli, Dombivli, Kalyan, Asangaon, Titwala, Ambernath, Badlapur, Thane.
