Digital Detox Talk at Vibrant Gujarat Startup and Technology Summit
At the Vibrant Gujarat Startup and Technology Summit 2018, giving a talk on Digital Detox. Had a packed house, a really savvy audience, and an invigorating Q&A. Got to interact with some brilliant start-ups, focused on solving some really relevant problems. My favorite was Nami Hydrogel, a non toxic gel that helps conserve water (with slow release) while farming. What I loved the most was that there was a separate area for children entrepreneurs to showcase their start-up ide

Helping with healthcare in the upper Himalayas
Images of the snow peaked upper Himalayas are magnificent, awe inspiring and incredibly romantic. But the reality of living thousands of feet above sea level is anything but romantic. Temperatures are way below freezing (upto minus thirty degrees), air is thin, with the barest levels of oxygen, water is frozen, food is scant, healthcare is rudimentary and sparse, and every breath is a blessing. The reality is icy and harsh. High altitude pharyngitis/bronchitis, snow blindness

Why we can't see the beauty of this world
The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things, the more they become invisible to us. That's why we often take for granted the beauty of this world : the flowers, the birds, the clouds, even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less. #mindfulness #digitaldetox #digitalwellness #digitaldetoxretreats #mindfulnesstraining #healinghideaway #bindiyamurgai #digitalwellness #speaker #mentalhealth #mentalfitness #gr

Symbolism of Green
Green is the color of nature and health. It represents growth, nature, money, fertility and safety. It's a relaxing color that is pleasing to the eye, and is said to have healing powers. It is often used to represent anything that has to do with health, and is also the color of the heart chakra. #healinghideaway #nilgiris #thambatti #bluemountains #healing #chakrameditation #chakrabalancing #meditation #mindfulness #happiness #arttherapy #counselling #therapist #bindiyamurgai

How Tea Can Improve Your Mental Health
Eastern countries devised some beautiful rituals around tea. These were about more than just drinking tea. They were about bonding, mental health and emotional well-being. The Japanese made it an art form…a carefully crafted practice of mindfulness, best summed up in the Zen phrase "ichi-go ichi-e", which means "one time, one meeting". The phrase encapsulates the beauty, uniqueness and impermanence of the present moment. According to researchers at Yale, holding a warm cup of

Different Colors Describe Happiness vs. Depression
This is a way of measuring anxiety and depression which gets away from the use of language. This might actually be a better way of capturing a patient's mood than questions, especially when gauging the moods of children, and other patients who have trouble communicating verbally. Colors are often used as metaphors for moods, but no one had systematically researched color associations. This study found that people with depression or anxiety were more likely to associate their

Mood Food : Banana Power
Bananas are a great “mood food.” They help your brain produce chemicals that promote happiness and good mental health. The burst of vitamin B-6 and carbs helps in the creation of two vital mood-regulating neurotransmitters -- Serotonin and Dopamine. These are essential for numerous aspects of brain functioning, including preventing depression, and the creation of positive feelings. Another “happy” nutrient in bananas is magnesium, that helps the brain effectively manage stre

When your mind becomes your lethal enemy
Another life lost to depression, as Hyderabad TV anchor, Radhika Reddy commits suicide, leaving behind a note that read, “My brain is my enemy.” As with many depressed people, she managed to put on a brave, even happy face at work. Nobody knew the dark, uphill battle she was fighting, wrecked not by an outsider, but her own mind. Depression is not something we can wish away. It’s as real, and often more painful than a broken leg. And it’s a lonely journey, as it’s silent and

Prayer Beads have been around for centuries. They have been used in most major religious practices including Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Bahai, Bon and Buddhism, and even the ancient Egyptians gave them a go. They come in a variety of forms and their significance varies across different faiths, but their usage and role as powerful instruments for mindfulness, meditation and spiritual practice remain pretty much constant. Yet, plenty of people don't seem to know a

The Hidden Meaning Behind Prayer Flags
Just love prayer flags for being the simplest spiritual devices, propelled by the natural energy of the wind. Contrary to popular misconceptions, prayer flags are not meant to carry an individual’s prayers to the Gods. This is how they actually work --prayer flags have mantras, prayers, and auspicious symbols on them. These represent spiritual energies and vibrations, which get activated when they make contact with the wind. These good vibrations are then carried by the wind,
