Sometime ago, when I had enquired about the next step of my work, I was guided to contribute to and work with young adults. Although our workshops have no age bar, I didn't know how to specifically reach out to this age group. A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by...
Who is your anchor?
Pain plays out differently for different people. In some of us pain often leads to numbing or masking of the Self. When it feels too much to feel pain or when the underlying belief is that pain makes us weak, we often distract from feeling it. We hide behind our...
Samudra Manthan of the Soul
“Make no mistake about it – enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we...
You are not alone, you matter
Grief is a natural response to loss. More often than not, we assume that a person going through grief needs privacy or isolation. Although, everyone grieves differently, grief is so heavy that it needs an unconditional presence, a container to be held and most...
Dancing with Life: From Grief to Rebirth
I was a mischievous kid in my growing up school years. And yet I was a loner and a rebel. Even in those years when kids have fun, I was over accountable, over impeccable, over committed and over idealistic. Top it with being emotional, intense, a deep feeler and a...
Breaking the Cycle: Rewriting the Inner Story
Why does the one person who doesn't value or appreciate us become so important over all the others who do see us, value us and appreciate us? I guess our mind has a tendency to go to the source from where we need love but don't often get it. And we keep running to get...
Shadow as our biggest teacher
The popular belief is that whatever is hidden within us, the outside world comes and projects that to us. People whom we attract in our life often mirror our own hidden selves. I have attracted people who are not impeccable or committed. This has made me introspect...
Our Shadow Selves – Finding Light in the Darkness
The following article was taken from Paul's and Neelam's writings. Have their been times in your life when you feel you are sooooooooooooo right and the other person is sooooooooooo wrong. When you feel triggered and upset by some aspects about your near and dear...
The Art of Unbecoming
When we embark on the journey of our spiritual healing, we often ask, "What is within me that has brought this to my doorstep?" This doesn't mean that if someone abuses me, its because something is wrong within me and hence I have attracted this situation or...
Projections and unhealed aspects of the self
If I live every moment from the space of being my true potential and my true nature, from my true centre, then I would realise that everything that triggers me about the other is my own aspect deeply hidden within me, looking for validation and acknowledgement. Slowly...
What if grief was a…
What if grief was a pen and it would start writing? What would it write? What if grief was a voice? What would it sing? What if grief was a cauldron? What would it stir? What if grief was a wave? How would it ebb and flow? What if grief was a body? How would it move...

A Journey Within, The Sea Healing Retreat
I have been receiving questions on what I will be teaching during the sea healing retreat. What modalities - shamanism or something else. The sea healing retreat is not about "modalities." It is as the name suggests all about the SEA and working with the energies of...
The Art of Being: A Healing Journey in Binsar, Kumaon
It's been three days, since I returned from Binsar, Kumaon in Uttarakhand. People who knew I had been away for 12 days, have been asking me whether the purpose with which I went, has been accomplished. Although, I had no such goal in mind, I did need a break from...
When I pause
Pin drop silence...not a soul to talk to... Just the wind rustling..the water drops trickle on the roof. The birds chirping Trees standing tall and moving with the force of the wind. © Taken by Neelam at Binsar, Kumoan The sun shining in the sky The cool...
Moving towards self-love and self-acceptance
When a negative comment by someone or a perceived dislike of theirs or a comment on some aspect of our being disturbs our peace of mind, then it is a straight co-relation to our lack of "self-acceptance." When we have accepted ourselves deeply, then the labels,...
