Everyone is pretty revved up about women supporting women, so I figured it’s probably a good time to share a few thoughts about what this id

Farming must be a labour of love. Not an act of conquest. Farming should be an integral part of the ecology, rather than the industrial proc

It's the nature of the mind to think. Thoughts arise like waves in the ocean, you can't stop them, but you can accept them as the inherent nature of the mind. But if you drop down, still the mind, go further down, it's like going many feet under the waves, where it is all gentle, quiet, present and awake. So, you don't have to shout anything down or out, you have to dive deeper into yourself, to just notice...observe, without judgement. That is mindfulness, the awareness that

Teaching has become an extremely high-stress profession, especially over the past 15 years. There is ample research that proves that teacher stress, anxiety, burnout, and job dissatisfaction are at an all-time high, thanks to various factors like increased pressure, unreasonable demands from parents and the system, technology and the new student-teacher-parent dynamics. All this makes the much-neglected facet of mental fitness for teachers, an issue of critical importance, on

Home -- where love, hope and dreams reside. A sanctuary where beautiful memories are created, close people always feel rested, and the heart-to-hearts and laughter never ends. Where it's not the bricks and beams, or the furniture and comforts one loves the most, but who we share it with, be it a person, an animal or just our very own higher self. Wish you all that special feeling called "home". #gratitide #mindfulness #nilgiris #india #Mindfulnessretreats #mindfulnesstrainer

One of the most beautiful ideas we've embraced this year is of creating space for mindful "slowness." Part of it has been to weave some concepts of Slow Food in to our daily lives -- the awareness of the sheer pleasure of food, using fresh homemade products, produced in a way that respects both the environment and the producers. The food is good, clean, and fair, which means it's flavoursome, and cultivated without harming one's health or the environment. It's the understandi

The greatest shift in your perspective towards Divinity starts with the realization that God lies within you, that your body is the temple within which God resides. Religion is too expansive to be squeezed within the covers of a book, because religion is all of life itself. It's who we are, the choices we make, how we treat people, animals and the planet. It's how we love, our sense of compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, grit, acceptance and joy. It is every moment of our dai

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

The truth is, you and I are in control of only two things : how we prepare for what might happen, and how we respond to what just happened. The moment when things actually do happen belongs to God. - Devon Franklin #truth #mindfulness #mindfulnessworkshops #mindfulnessspeaker #mindfulnesstraining

In moments like this one wonders if God has showed up, or we've showed up for God. #mindfulnesstrainer #Mindfulness #mindfulnesstraining #mindfulnessspeaker #mindfulnessworkshops #7PointMeditation #guidedmeditation #ecotherapy #consciousness #God #FindingGod #spiritualpractice #Nilgiris #Indianbuddhists #meditationretreats #top10spiritualretreats

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

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

If there is one singular quest that binds all humanity together, that is common to all humans, irrespective of their age, gender, race and nationality, it is the quest for happiness. It sounds simple, but is often elusive for many. I believe that happiness is a combination of genetic disposition, emotional ecosystems, and certain life conditions, but most of all, happiness is technique, one that has various elements, processes and steps. The best news is that we can all learn
