It is a blessing to be able to share the practice to empower people with the understanding, tools and courage to live the life they love, overcoming diagnoses and going off medication.

It is especially meaningful to me as my mother was put on sleeping pills after being told she had a "nervous breakdown" after we survived Black July 1983 anti-Tamil pogrom.

If you would like to know how to as well sign up for the workshop happening on the 2nd of August 2025 (link in bio)
Registrations close on 28th Tuesday so don't miss this opportunity!

At crossroads again and able to slow down and enjoy the way travelled so far even as I stand at the threshold of a new chapter.

Grateful for the opportunity to share the spirit with YellowDot.org at last month in the most authentic and organic manner.
It has rekindled my love for group work.

So I'm calling another such sitting for a contemplative practice through reflection, writing, visualisation and ceremonial transmutation.
Your energy will create the conditions.

DM if interested.

These Were the Original Energy Bites of the Himalayan Silk Road🌄

Before protein balls and granola bars, there was tsampa — a simple, sustaining fuel used by Tibetan travelers, monks, and merchants trekking the high passes of the Silk Road.

This variation, Apricot Tsampa, blends roasted barley flour, butter tea, and dried apricots into a hearty bite that’s sweet, nutty, and nourishing. It was portable. It didn’t spoil. And it kept traders moving across some of the toughest terrain on earth.

Tsampa wasn’t just food. It was survival.

In ancient Tibet, tsampa was everywhere — mixed by hand in tents, packed in bundles for long journeys, and eaten by nomads, warriors, and pilgrims alike. The dried apricots in this version reflect the influence of Silk Road trade, bringing Central Asian fruit into Himalayan tradition.

It’s chewy, lightly sweet, and 100% historical.

Ingredients:
• 1 cup roasted barley flour (tsampa)
• 2 tbsp butter or yak butter
• ¼ cup strong black tea or butter tea, cooled
• ¼ cup chopped dried apricots
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Brew your tea and let it cool
2. Mix the barley flour, butter, and tea until dough-like
3. Add chopped apricots and form into small balls
4. Chill for 30 minutes or eat immediately — they travel well and last days

This is a bite of Silk Road history — sweet, simple, and packed with the spirit of ancient travelers.

The importance of conflict resolution for health

A Self-Devaluation Conflict is a shocking moment that catches you off guard when your psyche perceives…⁣
⁣
“I can’t do it”⁣
“I’m not capable”⁣
“I’m no good”⁣
“I’m not ____ enough”⁣
“Something is wrong with me”⁣
⁣
The experience of incapability is biologically linked to the tissues in your body that perform functions that make you able to do a task, your connective tissues- muscles, bones, ligaments, blood vessels, lymph, fat, etc.⁣
⁣
Depending on the situation and what you are perceiving yourself as not capable of doing, the specific areas of the body involved will begin to adapt according to their biological function.⁣
⁣
During the active conflict there is loss of tissue.⁣
⁣
As you actively feel “not enough” your tissues become thinner, there is necrosis of tissue, weakening of the area, decalcification, osteoporosis, osteopenia, anemia, etc.⁣
⁣
This necrosis persists as long as the conflict is active.⁣
⁣
Ongoing active self-devaluation of a particular tissue predisposes this area to injury and a normal movement or activity that wouldn’t usually cause a problem could result in a fracture or rupture.⁣
⁣
The intensity of the self-devaluation determines which layer of connective tissue will be affected:⁣
⁣
Light Devaluation = Fat, Blood Vessels⁣
Moderate Self-Devaluation = Lymph, Cartilage, Ligaments⁣
Severe Self-Devaluation = Bones⁣
⁣
When this conflict is active you will have compulsive thinking about the thing you are feeling incapable of doing, the thing you feel stupid about, the situation that is unjust, the thing you can’t get a handle on etc.⁣
⁣
BUT THEN as soon as you resolve the conflict the body immediately begins building back better than before and the involved tissue becomes thicker, bigger, stronger, and more capable after the biological program is complete.⁣
⁣
Thats the whole point of this biological adaptation = stronger after resolution!⁣
⁣
Following conflict resolution the tissue begins at once to repair and rebuild. When this repair process is taking place the tissue is swollen, tender, warm, tense, stiff, sore, etc. ⁣
⁣
Remember: PAIN is an indication of HEALING⁣

I've been fortunate to not have to rely on the allopathic medical system since my return to Lanka in 2013 thanks to qualified, ethical and heart-centered healers like Shobana Cooke .

As I ease into week 4 of having Chikungunya thanks to her loving guidance, I would highly recommend homeopathy as a very helpful modality for anyone.

Homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical science that utilizes extremely small doses of substances to stimulate a person’s immune system. Each medicine is individually prescribed according to the “Law of Similars” A substance that can cause
a certain set of symptoms can cure those very symptoms. Like cures like. Anything that a substance can cause, it can cure in
small doses! Think of all the substances that “cause a state”- poison ivy(itching), snake venom (hemorrhaging), bee venom (swelling),...homeopathic remedies have been made with these extracts. They can all cure what they cause. Let me give you an example. You have the flu and I have the flu.You take your Panadol and I’ll take Gelsemium(if it was a Gelsemium flu!). We’re both going to get immediate relief! The
difference is, you may be saddled with a Post-Viral Syndrome for suppressing a fever artificially, while the homeopathic patient will return to vitality with no side-effects, no ill-effects, no post-viral symptoms, just a natural and swift return to health - rapidly & gently. The remedy called Gelsemium (yellow jasmine) when given in overdose will cause all the common symptoms of the flu. So,guess what our most often-used flu remedy is? Of course Gelsenium! And it’s not because Gelsemium “kills flu germs”, it’s that it
mobilizes your own immune system to recognize your flu, to mobilize against your flu, and to support your immune system to respond to it. Your immune function knows what to do in order to maintajn health and vitality. Homeopathic remedies support your immune function.
