Help Our Children Avoid Mental Health Issues
My name is Puneet Vatish and I am a devoted husband and father of 2 beautiful daughters. The past 10 years of my life have provided me with experiences that have turned my life on its head. In 2009, I realised my dream of owning a gym, however, I could not have predicted what was to follow. Power surges, divorce, family fall outs, massive debt, bailiffs and much more. These 10 years were enough to break anyone’s resolve and faith.

Mindfulness - How?
I keep getting told to be mindful. "Mindfulness is the key!" I keep getting told. Whether its my friends, partner, therapist...they all keep telling me the same thing. However, what exactly is "mindfulness"? At first I thought it had to do with self-awareness, and how my behavior effects others. Then, one day in group therapy, the therapist asks us all to close our eyes and be mindful of the things around us. He asked us to tap into our five sense.

MEDITATION: WASTE OF TIME? UNDERSTAND MINDFULNESS.
Mindfulness is a state in which you are completely aware of the impulses, thoughts and feelings that are affecting you. The power that this brings is immeasurable, since by understanding and creating a mindset for each of these aspects, we can achieve Emotional Balance, also known as the Emotional Intelligence soft skill.

The Anchor of Purpose
As a rather sensual, sensitive, and open Soul, I find that I am naturally more receptive to new ideas. I'm open to them all usually and I thoroughly enjoy the rush of energy that accompanies an idea I'd like to act on.

Self healing
I felt the need to create this post because now more then ever, us humans need a little more extra attention spent on ourselves. With everyday life’s activities our schedules get so hectic that sometimes we neglect our own physical being needs. Have you ever ran in to a busy human and they are all over the place and you ask them if they meditate? And they reply with; “whaat? I don’t have time for that! Look at my schedule!” Lol! This actually used to be me!!!

WHY DOES MEDITATION MAKE ME CRY
We live in a suppressive culture. On every level our culture teaches us, from birth to death, to suppress what we feel for the greater good. To suppress our opinions in case they cause trouble. To suppress our emotions to keep things nice. And often even, to suppress our abilities so as not to stick out from the crowd.

The best way to Meditate
Most people find meditation to be super boring and an out of fashion thing! (I was one of them) They don't think it's cool and ultimately quit too soon!

The Difference Between Meditation and Hypnosis
Consciousness is a weird experience. The contents of it change every moment, but the context - the grounding fact of being aware - is always the same.

Meditation
In ancient times, if anyone had health isssues, a healer would chant a mantra (a specific mantra) and the person would be healed. A mantra is a word or phrase or even a syllable that is repeated in concentration. “Man” means and “tra” means transport or vehicle. In this process the healer is a person who has done many tapas and sadhana for this purpose in particular. To be a healer, one had to pass through an initiation by a guru with the Sanjivani Mantra (this is a mantra for healing others). The sadhaka (trainee) would have to meditate on this mantra that contains 7 bijaksharas, or seed letters. After this the sadhaka gains the power to heal and is eligible to work as a healer.

An Oasis of Calm
Normally I’d be more stressed in a situation such as this. Saturday afternoon, at a grocery wholesale store, and it’s packed. Not the most ideal place for a meditation practice, but meditation can be done anywhere, at anytime, by anyone, and today I’ve brought my oasis with me. I’m going to guide you on how to do the same. Before we dive in though, a tidbit for any beginners out there, and a friendly reminder for those more practiced. You may get distracted, and that’s okay. You’re mind may wander, and that’s okay. You’re emotions may follow your mind in the multitude of directions it goes, and that’s okay. If any of this happens, acknowledge that it happened. Let it go, and return your focus to your breath. Always returning to your breath, and so we begin, with a deep breath in.
