    Situational Depression

    Situational Depression

    Situational depression is not the same as clinical depression. It is usually triggered by an event or situation, such losing a promotion or a job, a breakup, failure, or a traumatic event. Situational depression can be overcome with counselling, mindfulness, meditation and through practices that change our attitude, behaviours and responses. Situational depression can pass in a few weeks, but can turn into clinical depression if left unattended for long. Read what Oprah has t

    Instagram, Social Media and Depression

    Not every thing has to be a reflection of our mental health...certainly not the aesthetic choices we make! The problem is that too many rookie opinions, and all kind of flimsy research projects, come up every day, showing people more and more ways in which they are/ can/ will/ or should be depressed. Making things worse, are journalists and bloggers, who pick the most sensational lines and concert them in to sensational headlines. These then get read fleeting by an audience w

    Why are people more stressed than ever before?

    Ever wondered why most people are more stressed than ever before? This is a pretty huge question, the answer to which lies in a complex web of changing social beliefs, systems, dynamics and technology! To begin with, the very fibre of our social fabric had changed. Gender roles are no longer well defined in most modern societies, and that changes the way family units operate, interact and negotiate the course of their relationships. Often people are caught in a trap of deeply

    How to accept a mental health problem

    Most people really grapple with accepting that they have a mental illness. There is understandably, a huge amount of fear about 'losing our mind,' and people and society at large, does not help. There are stigmas attached, people’s reactions include horror, severing ties, making mockery, and even treating a person with a mental illness like an outcast. Often relationships, marriage and job opportunities dwindle and all this makes coping with an already tough situation, even t

    Lessons in Happiness : Cultivate Vitality, Humour, Curiosity and Grace

    Everyone seems to be scrambling to crack the Happiness Code. It is after all, the one thing every human being desires.

No matter how fleeting. In the numerous workshops that I conduc

    How To Let Go Of Unhealthy Relationships and Cut Cords

    Cutting Energy Cords is a two-part procedure. The first part involves introspection. And the other, de-cording. The reason you start with introspection is because when you allow others to have power over you, it's usually because there is a vacuum, complex, fear or disfunctionality that exists within. This allows for forming and nurturing of energy cords that tie you to people. Till you don’t find, recognise and acknowledge this, you will not be able to successfully cut the c

    Energy Cords & How They Impact You

    What is Guided Meditation in a Snapshot

    Guided Meditation is an extremely powerful way of being mindful and eliciting change in your life, due to the nature of the way the brain works. It is a process by which participants meditate in response to the guidance provided by a trained practitioner via a combination of music and verbal instruction. This is a secular, non-sectarian method that brings attention to our inner and outer experiences with acceptance, patience, and compassion. It helps with anxiety, stress, att
