Healing & aspects of spirituality are connected for me (personally).

Spirituality is about:
• Connecting to something greater (God, the Universe, Nature, Higher Self, etc.)
• Seeking meaning and purpose
• Living in alignment with your values and essence
• Developing inner peace and awareness

Spirituality doesn’t require religion — it’s the personal experience of connection beyond the material.

Spiritual Growth Often Triggers Healing

The word “heal” comes from the root “to make whole.”
Spirituality, too, seeks wholeness — union with Self, Source, or Universe.
They work hand in hand to reconnect you with your true essence.

Healing is about healing in all possible ways. I personally dip in to spiritual knowledge along with my scientific training to complete my therapeutic understanding of healing.

In every growth story, there will be the naysayers, the envious, and the pessimists.

In every growth story, there will be the challenges, the losses & the loneliness.

In every growth story, the protagonist, you, will want to fit in, stagnate, and not move forward.

But you will. That’s who you are.
You are fated to grow

At the core of this stance lie the awareness & the acceptance of emotions - in a mindful way.

Yes, easier said than done. However, the more you practice mindfulness, the more you are able to accept discomfort due to emotions. Instead of knee- jerk reactions, it helps you to take decisions based on your values (instead of taking actions to avoid discomfort/ in a triggered state).

The key points are:
1. Awareness of the present moment (and the emotions)
2. Acceptance (rather than avoidance, escape or denial of emotions)
3. Taking actions aligned with values even when faced with emotions that cause discomfort

Awareness & acceptance of emotions are prioritised in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

This is a pandemic- everyone trying to be the best version of themselves. Although, it’s a good thing (mostly), sometimes, it comes at a cost.

Burnout
Low self worth
Anxiety
Tiredness
Stress
Loneliness
Emptiness
Lack of joy
Health issues
Etc.

I see this the most in people in their 20s & 30s but it can actually be applicable to most people.

A gentle suggestion:
Take a break from your own expectations, from societal expectations & from the social media expectations.

Every once in a while, such breaks are needed.
The joy is in this moment of doing nothing and expecting nothing. It’s called being content.

Sigh! All these self help videos and books that we read are making us stressed (and fake)!

If you don’t know the right words to say to someone going through a setback, or pain, just be present. The fact that you heard them is sometimes, all that they needed.

If your faith is low today, this message is for you.

Anticipate the . Plan for them- keep the faith. Let the self fulfilling prophecy take over. Good things are on their way- believe & see the changes in you, around you.

That’s the power of association — and you can use it to your advantage.

Light a candle every time you sit to focus — soon, the scent alone will trigger clarity.
Play the same soft track before meditation — your mind will start to relax on cue.
Open your journal in the same spot daily — over time, that space becomes sacred and calm.

Tiny rituals. Repeated often. Become powerful signals.

When your environment starts triggering your desired state of mind, discipline feels natural — not forced.

Use associations to anchor your behavior to a feeling.

Loss of dignity, loss of a dream, loss of an idea, loss of an ecosystem, loss that’s not acknowledged, loss due to death, and loss that have prior baggages.

These are just some of the losses one could experience.

Acknowledging these losses, give us a better understanding and thus it might make it slightly easier to process.

Whatever the kind of loss, deserves its own timeline. Each loss deserves that one thing- to grieve in one’s own way.
