I have lost the love of my life. I've taken a lot of time but I am not healing. Please help me

Usually you are told to take your time in a difficult life situation. Taking your time will heal your wounds. Although helpful to an extent, this is a very misleading advise. Can taking your time make it easier to lose someone you love? Can it make it easier to move on? To bear a huge financial loss...

I am a man who admires women. I want to know from you how to recognise a true feminist.

People usually get turned off by wise women, especially the ones who yield a transformative power.

Women and power. Women and clarity. Women and change are things that were kept separate for 3000 years. It’s difficult for the world to pair these ideas. The world has taken its time to digest the rol...

I was robbed & molested by a spiritual teacher - throw some light on that please

The bitter truth is that too many ‘seekers of truth’ are real-life a**holes. Give them a crisis and all their integrity goes out of the window.

I grew up surrounded by spiritual seekers. It was in the early 90’s, I was a teenager when I began noticing that most of these ‘spiritual’ people were stri...

I am not interested in social media numbers. My peers think I am a failure.

The thing with humans is that we yearn for trust. Be it a relative or a brand, we are looking for someone on whose authenticity we can rely upon. Someone we can trust, someone we resonate with even though we may not agree with them all the time and someone we have a deep connection with. It’s as sim...

Why do you charge for your healing work. Isn't spiritual work supposed to be god's work?

Here is a disclaimer. I am not doing god’s work. God doesn’t need my work. I have left that con job for organised religion.

There is an itch that working women have. We need to get back to who we truly are. Otherwise, we go insane. In 2012, I dared to step back into the waters. This was my first tr...

I don't think I need a guru. Tell me why should I stick to just one teacher when there is so much knowledge available for free?

 I grew up in the presence of some of the most elusive god intoxicated mystics of India, who shattered all stereotypical ideas about being graceful, poised and composed spiritualists. 

My parents are mystics who have a parallel domestic life. It isn’t an easy task. They had to learn to handle this ...

My fiancé cheated on me. How can I choose a better man next time?

I recently lost $ 130 on a purchase from a fraud online clothes store. Did I see it coming? Yes, I did. Did I heed the alarm that my intuition was declaring? No, I didn’t. I bypassed it for ‘logic’. A Chinese website posing as a fashionable UK based company was evident to my gut but not to my ration...

I have been deeply hurt by my mother- help me not to hate her
Our mothers, the baby boomers as we call their generation, saw the rise of individual and collective freedom that catapulted into a lifestyle. 
 
They stood at the cusp of a paradigm shift. Some of them are still standing at that cusp. Some dove in, into illusionary freedom that seduced them. Some...

I do a lot of healing on me but I still get triggered, why?

 

Currently, human consciousness functions from a model of reality that operates on the basic principles of separation, fear and lack.

It’s known as the Deprivation Triade (triad). This is why manifesting true love, wealth and youth is arduous for humans.

But nature is not stagnant. Thankfully it...

I thought I was a progressive woman but then I see a lot of misogyny in me, how come?

Women have gone through a deluge unspeakable oppression, suppression and violence.

Women have been violated, compromised and gaslighted for thousands of years. In fact even today thousands of women are laying down their lives to gain freedom for the rest of us.

But does that mean that women are ex...

I am an empath, I am too sensitive. How do I protect myself from empathy burnout?

I often wondered why Buddha didn't just enjoy his eternal bliss forever? Why did he go back to his wife after he attained enlightenment? What made him get involved with ‘others’, creating sanghas and teaching. 

When your self-awareness churns into enlightenment, you go through a few hiccups befor...

I am fat and I really want to rise above body shaming- can you help

Haha, the one thing i can teach you very well is how to be a relaxed fat woman.  

Once my Gazal teacher described his admiration for Sitara Devi, the Kathak legend. He said ‘when she put those huge thighs on the stage, it set ablaze. I cannot describe the strength, grit and beauty of her body. It m...
