I'm located in Chesterbrook, PA (USA), and want to help those who need to improve their Quality of Life, health/Swaasthya & Well-Being using Ayurveda, Yoga, and meditation modalities (including spending time with them as required, simple things like walking, cooking, massages, etc.). I had worked in Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA (Electrical Engg and MBA from Ivy League Schools), but over the last decade, I have invested in educating and training myself and including getting National/State certifications in NAMA Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, LMT-PA, End of Life Doula, and YTT200 ĀyurYoga Teacher. SMS/email me and we'll work together towards your happiness and joy in life. It is not a greed-driven message, but straight from the bottom of my heart with intentions to HEAL, one person at a time. In Gratitude, Sunny-the-Bunny www.Swaasthya.US

A quiet mind is not empty. It's calm, focused, and aware. In the Buddhist path, this state is known as "samatha" — mental tranquility developed through meditation and mindfulness. When your mind is quiet, you're not constantly reacting, judging, or wandering. You are present.

🔹 A quiet mind learns better.
Learning requires attention. But a noisy mind, filled with worries or ego, cannot absorb wisdom. In Buddhism, it's said, "An agitated mind cannot see the truth." When we silence the inner chatter, we open ourselves to deeper understanding — not just of books, but of life, of self, of suffering and liberation.

🔹 A quiet mind observes better.
Mindfulness (sati) teaches us to observe without attachment. A quiet mind doesn’t rush to label or react. It simply watches. Whether it’s your breath, your thoughts, or the world around you — silence sharpens perception. In that stillness, we begin to truly see — not just with the eyes, but with insight (vipassana).

🔹 A quiet mind acts better.
When the mind is calm, actions are born from clarity, not impulse. The Buddha taught the importance of Right Action — one of the steps on the Eightfold Path. A quiet mind does not act out of anger, greed, or fear. It chooses wisely. It responds, not reacts.

🌸 In today's world, silence is rare — but powerful.
Cultivating a quiet mind is not escape from life. It's a way to live more fully, consciously, and compassionately.

Peace begins within.
🧘‍♂️ Breathe. Be still. Be aware.
Let your quiet mind become your greatest strength.

Fat-Shamed (the body positivity movement): Author Devina Mehra is an inspiration, my dear friend and classmate IIM-A and I'm proud to post her LinkedIn post since this Swaasthya helps folks.

Quote: In some senses, it isn't a LinkedIn-appropriate post as it has nothing directly to do with my professional life but is a reaction to something I did see on LinkedIn

A couple of days ago this post popped up. I haven't been able to find it again. It was by a woman CEO of some health-related outfit & the theme of her song was that the body positivity movement is encouraging obesity which leads to a lot of diseases

As the saying goes unless you walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you do not know where the shoe pinches

If you've never been fat-shamed in your life you will never understand where the body positivity movement comes from

Every time I see a woman, esp a young woman, making content on this theme I send good wishes because I personally know how hard that road is. It means years of hiding behind clothes, behind people in pictures, of trying to disappear

First, most people, esp women, don't choose to be fat

Second, just by looking at someone who is fat as per your standards does not mean that they are not trying or do not have healthy habits

Third, by encouraging fat shaming you actually keep overweight people away from exercise because the feel judged in a swimsuit/gym clothes

And the whole narrative of being fat gets so ingrained in your head that you still feel fat even after you have lost weight. I look at this pic of mine when I was about 20 and do not see a fat girl but still I went into stores thinking, "Will they have my size?"

I have seen some older body positivity influencers who posted before and after pictures; not with a change in weight but a change in confidence and you see a whole different woman

And the pressure is never the same way on potbellied men!

This is besides the fact that weight doesn't equal fitness

I will give a personal example. I have lost a considerable bit of weight in the last year, am fitting into clothes that are 15 yrs old

People ask me, "What are you doing?" and my answer is, "If anything, I've become less strict about my fitness"

For years I had no rotis or rice except once a week and walked 10000 steps a day. Worked out in the Gym so much that I could lift more weight than most young men in their 20s. My muscle mass was higher than even the high end of the normal range for my age, my blood parameters were great but the fat remained stubborn

In my case, it was getting rid of the major stressor in my life that worked

If the Cortisol remains high, your body doesn't let go of weight. In terms of spirituality & healing, if you don't feel safe the body doesn't let go of weight

I wasn't a chubby kid but started gaining weight at age 6 after an illness - probably the medicines caused an imbalance
Fat shaming by random people(never my family) was the only traumatic part of my otherwise idyllic childhood

So do motivate people to take up healthy habits. Tell them not to have samosa and pizza every day, to give up a sedentary lifestyle but blaming the body positivity movement is an absolute no no! UNQUOTE

We're here to help achieve Swaasthya of body-mind-consciousness... joyful living and life. Thanks for reading!
