Abstract.....While grappling with uncertainty, the question often arises how to get back the restored sense of self. It’s the awareness of self that we can develop as time rolls by, once we are hit with the realization that the healthy ongoing feeling, the one that evokes authenticity, has long gone away and all we are performing is the role of an existential living.

Abstract......A long stare at the ocean, listening to its waves, crashing and roaring induces a change in the frequency of our brainwaves and our minds lull lazily in a relaxation. From there, we are carried into a meditative state. As we listen to the sound of its waves, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, and we unwind in tranquility. The ebbing and flowing, the coming and receding of the waves, the frothy delight topping them, stimulates the…

Abstract.....Childhood trauma has an invisible impact on adult relationships. Children who have been exposed to neglect, domestic violence, traumatic loss, bereavement, sexual abuse go through unseen pain and the shock of it has its major carry over effects, transferred into adult relationships. The conception of fear symbolized and gradually it begins to actualize into their adulthood. Those cataclysmic events had a major collision with the emotional health of…

By applying the theory that human behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning without any appeal to thoughts or feelings and that mental disorders can be treated by altering a set behavior pattern, we bring about a transformation in an emotionally distraught person and eventually help him/her to create a personal meaning that defines the individual. The ill behavior can be modified with the right conditioning, irrespective of the traits and thinking…

Abstract.....The uncensored speech, those uncut expressions are now allowed the freedom to flow and healing begins bit by bit. They no longer live within the narrow parameters of their lives, rather have the freedom to extend themselves as they stretch their hearts through the uncondensed versions of their sufferings. For the sake of an afflicted heart to heal, its an essentiality for a suffering soul to have unparalleled freedom of expression, the one that can…

Abstract.....To live life fully is to find a right balance, and as we do our own bit of existing ceases to exist and living emerges into something solid, something that can live in the light. As we navigate through regret and choice, something real comes out through all of this. That is us and our authentic living. Through the opening and closing of the doors, the deepest presence of life is felt as we let ourselves feel the feelings we refuse to feel. We…

Abstract....There is a stigma undeniably involved with the releasing of emotions. The undeniable truth that hits the face the moment we feel that compelling urge to break free of the feelings that seem to strangle our throats. Somewhere between what we reveal and who we are inside is exactly where we struggle with the bottled emotions. As we hear the all- time used “get over it”, the truth is we do not get over it until we get through it. Letting the…

Abstract.....To recover is to be resilient, as to be able to bounce back is to be able to flow again like a running brook. The glaring question is, how do they keep going in the face of adversity. Even when life brings them down to their knees, the way they know how to rise stronger than ever, emerging from all those yesterdays, the lost battles, leaving behind the failures and regrets—that defines their recovery and innate in that recovery lies their…

Abstract

The restless minds find the voice, the ecstasy that we so desire as the chaos breaks so powerfully in the dancing stillness. The silence that gives us back the forgotten tunes of an ancient song, the song of life and this universe. Often, caught in the net of enmeshment of materialism, we chase a the race of madness, mad after the earthly riches, whereas there is an unmined richness in the ecstatic…

Abstract.....How do we live as authentic beings, is it by running away or facing, by leaving or taking the courage to walk down the memory lanes and to feel that burning truth once again? Only this time, we go back in time as we allow ourselves to remember and see the pain eye to eye with a long look. From it, we rise as authentic beings in this life.

Abstract......Forgiveness is a word packed with many things. But what is the science, thought process behind forgiving? Forgiveness is making a conscious decision to accept what happened as it happened, rather than the could haves and should haves. We step into our present moment, rather than anchoring it in all those yesterdays. Forgiveness is the cornerstone of all relationships in our lives.  Our failure to understand others perceptions can further anger,…

Abstract....Writing, the most profound art of exploring ourselves, places that carry the unmined wealth of wisdom, the unseen gold that emits the light, as we try to see ourselves through and through, the thousand pearls that release the moment, we begin to understand ourselves. It is the wildest splash of delight, all coming as we let a pen probe into us, not in the sense of probing but just a silent plea to our hearts to release all that has been buried for…

Abstract.....From the rationale to the imaginative, from the reasoning to the enchantment, from woe to wonder, is a journey that can be accomplished so effortlessly through the metaphorical path. It carries us from reality to a beauty that is so surreal. Along the path lies a journey of healing, which seeps inside and before even we understand it, the night seems to end as the morn begins to break in the welcoming light. How the imagination fills our eyes with…

Abstract....How yoga brings a convergence between science and spirituality, how mysticism meets the rationale and the reasoning, how intellect meets the contemplator. They are not in conflict with one another rather in harmony with each other.

Abstract....Through all that we have, and all that we chase after, comes something much bigger than them. And that is the calling of life. How we choose to respond to it, speaks much of us blooming in our purest beauty. Authenticity does not come any other way. It comes through the choices we make, the way we handle things as they come and walk out of our lives. Ultimately, it becomes a matter of grace, how gracefully could we let go and let in of what was…

Abstract

Too often, we wear a smiling sadness outside, while the world knows nothing about it. As we seek solace to find a way back to ourselves, we run from place to place. Lets take a moment to stop running, to stop wandering, and come back to the beauty of words, the words that arise from the heart. As the seasons of life take us to some of the brutal battles that we…

Abstract....When we face the toughest of times and bend down in pain, something says--"it is not over". There is still something left. And from the crumbled pieces, rises a story. A story that can inspire the world so they can see how something beautiful can arise from all that seems so lost. From the brokenness, we can walk towards wholeness again. After all, the greatest of stories rises from the broken pieces.
