Your magical moment.
The most soothing sight in the summer is the lilac tide of Jacarandas, bursting through the sharp heat of the mountain sun. The most romantic, is to walk on a path lined by Jacarandas, softly showered by their pristine petals...fully aware of how that moment was created just for you. #mindfulnessexercise #mindfulnesstrainer #benefitsofmindfulness #mindfulnessspeaker #Mindfulness #mindfulnessworkshops #mindfulnesstraining #nilgiris #HealingHideaway #Retreats #top10spiritualret

What Trees Teach Us About Individuality
Trees offer the most amazing lesson in individuality, each one fully comfortable in it's unique being and appearance, yet so harmonious in the collective. Unlike humans, trees have the amazing ability to be hyper individualistic, and yet harmonious with others of all shapes, shades and stature. Look at the trees around you, it could be in the neighbourhood park, on the road, or a forest. Each and every tree is different from the other, even if they are the same species, much

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

Find yourself in the woods
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Walking meditation for restless meditators
New meditators often struggle with sitting in one place, and keeping the body and mind still. It truly can be challenging, especially for the restless, which is where Zen Buddhist practice of Kinhin, or 'Walking Meditation' becomes a really effective alternative. It's traditionally practiced between long periods of Zazen, or stationary meditation, as it relieves stiffness, and reenergises the body. However, you don't need to be a Buddhist, or a monk to practice it. Nor do yo

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

Guru Purnima, time to celebrate all those who've taught us something

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

Shed wilted relationships. Make way for meaningful ones.
Many relationships are transient in our lives. They have a shelf life, there for a certain time, but always with a purpose, even though we may not see it without ample introspection. The purpose could be to bring us momentary joy, shine a light on our emotional chasms, hold a mirror to our hidden selves, highlight our frailties, our strengths. Or hard as it may be, to just teach us a lesson about people, life, instincts, and the myriad complexities of the human heart and mind

Mindfulness is finding beauty in your surroundings
There is so much chatter about mindfulness, but what are the various things that comprise living mindfully everyday? How do you inhabit the moment? One simple way is to just be aware...mindful...of what is around you. We often take our surroundings so much for granted that we can seldom recall details of things that we see on a daily basis. We may take the same route to work, but may not even notice the places we pass, or the permanent fixtures, or people on the way. We may c

Be like a tree, forever evolving.
Be like a tree, forever evolving. Growing, weathering storms, breaking, healing, aging uniquely, gaining strength from stillness, staying grounded, silently gaining wisdom, and becoming immensely individuated. Become your own unique self, find comfort in your own niche, where you are needed and meant to be. It is a part of the Ascension process. #ancientwisdom #healinghideaway #ascension #spirituality #spiritualgrowth#spiritualretreats #top10spiritualretreats #india #bindiyam

Good health beyond the body
Being healthy is about being in balance—physically and mentally. The concept of mind, body and spirit is the foundation of one's wellbeing. If one collapses, everything else starts to fall apart. Equilibrium, inner peace and wellness come from understanding their interconnectedness and the impact each has on the other, and then nurturing all three. We can do this by eating the right food, exercising both the body and the mind, and meditating. We need to be at peace with ourse

Prayer Beads, Mindfulness and Meditation
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
