While on a video call during one of my children’s meditation sessions, before starting the meditation, I asked one particular girl—around 8 or 9 years old—to turn on her camera so I could see her. She came on for a second and then went offline again. I gently asked her once more to come online so I could see her. This time, she came back and shared that she has a skin condition around her lips, similar to dark circles around the eyes, and that she doesn’t feel comfortable being on camera during the calls. I then spoke to her about the importance of self-love—that we must first respect and accept ourselves, including our flaws. Only then can we truly love others unconditionally. I encouraged her to accept herself with grace and to be strong and confident in facing any challenges that may come her way. I told her that respect and acceptance begin within us, and that she still looked very beautiful to me. I explained that true power lies in how we carry ourselves—with grace in our thoughts, words, and actions. No matter where we are or what we do, we can choose to sit, stand, walk, and speak with dignity. I then shared my own experiences—about the flaws I once felt I had and the bullying I faced as a child. I told her how none of that defines me today, because I chose to embrace myself completely. Even as a child, deep within, I always felt I was perfect just the way I am. As I spoke, I realized how proud I felt of that journey—of embracing myself without fear or judgment. I found myself speaking openly, without worrying about what others might think. There was a sense of joy and lightness within me—almost like happiness was flowing from my heart as I spoke, and even after I finished. In that moment, I understood why I had gone through those experiences in my childhood. It was so that one day, I could share them with a child who needed to hear them. Being able to support her in that moment brought me deep happiness. I feel immense gratitude for this experience, and to that little girl for bringing out this grace within me—to share, to guide, and to remind her to always follow her heart, no matter where life takes her… and to embrace herself completely.

I was having a casual conversation with a friend who lovingly told me something important: the world will always judge, no matter what you choose to do. People may try to pull you down, question your intentions, or not believe in what you are trying to create. As I listened to her, I felt deep gratitude because I could see that her words came from genuine care for my success, whether it is through stress management coaching, meditation, or the wisdom classes I am already offering. I shared my thoughts with her. I said, “For someone who is mostly an introvert and occasionally an ambivert, sharing my personal experiences from my childhood, my journey as a mother, my dreams, and my meditation insights through my children’s books itself was a big step outside my comfort zone. But I took that first step. Then, I began teaching meditation and life wisdom to children every weekend. That, too, is outside my comfort zone because it requires me to speak, guide, and engage continuously. Still, I chose to do it, and it has brought me immense happiness and contentment. Now, what I am planning next, helping people manage stress, supporting them through their challenges, and combining meditation with practical coping techniques, feels equally challenging. Yes, there are days when I feel low. I sometimes doubt myself and wonder if I can truly do this. But every time that happens, I turn to meditation. I center myself, raise my energy, and remind myself, ‘Yes, I’ve got this.’ I tell myself that I have already taken the first step by doing something I never imagined I would do: publishing my books. Now, I am continuing to walk this path beyond my comfort zone. If it takes stepping further out of my comfort zone to help even a few people transform their lives, I am willing to do that. What keeps me going is my intention, the genuine desire to help in whatever way I can. That intention is enough to motivate me whenever I feel low or uncertain. There may be setbacks, but I will embrace them as learning opportunities and continue to grow, so I can serve better.”

I wanted to share a small real-life incident that showed me what stress management truly means in daily life. I was entering a store in a mall with my husband and my 4-year-old son when an alarm suddenly went off as a few people walked in ahead of me. I paused for a moment, wondering what had happened. One of the young women noticed me looking and suddenly yelled at me, asking what I was looking at, and even used harsh language. In that moment, something interesting happened. My attention went inward. I became aware of my heart and mind. I noticed her words weren't affecting me internally. I didn’t react. I didn’t rush. I simply continued walking calmly, even sipping my drink, staying completely composed. Soon, she stopped and walked away when she didn’t get any reaction. Later, I reflected on this. Normally, I might have felt anger, embarrassment, or guilt. But this time, there was none of that. There was just calm awareness and inner stability. This is what I understand now as a coherent state — where your inner state remains balanced, no matter what is happening outside. And this is exactly what stress management helps us build. If this resonates with you, I invite you to explore the Stress Management Training, second batch, starting on 18-Aug by @Pari Patri. It truly helps you experience this shift within. Let’s continue to grow and support each other in creating a calmer and more balanced world. 🥰 With gratitude 🙏

When I released my first children’s spiritual book, some “friends” made jokes about me. The fun continued when I released my second book. A few relatives even joked, saying, “By reading your books, all children will attain salvation through meditation.” I smiled and responded, “Wouldn’t that be amazing? Imagine all children meditating! The thought itself feels so beautiful.” After that, there were no more comments. When I released my third book, people became more observant, and a few quietly walked out of my life. After my fourth, some still joked, asking when the next one would come. So I continued… I released my fifth and sixth books. Now, there is silence. And even if something is said, I no longer give my energy to that noise. But along this journey, something beautiful happened… I met many new people. I found all of you wonderful souls. For the first time, I truly felt at home and at peace. I am learning from all of you and sharing whatever I can along the way. Today, I am exploring new courses and learning deeply, thanks to @Pari Patri⁩. What more could I ask for? Everything has opened up at the exact moment. Heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you here, dear co-creators. 🙏🥰❤️
