If you are not meditating, you are missing out on life! A tool to tap into your highest potential

Corporate life can teach you innumerable things, provided you are willing to learn. After having a decade-long experience as an Environmental Architect and moving on to establishing a successful entrepreneurial journey, something still did not feel right. And this feeling of unpleasantness and unexplained dismay was a blessing in disguise. Twelve years ago, it pushed me to take an inward journey by exploring the avenue of personal growth. Speaking to experts, learning new modalities, working very closely with therapists and psychologists and having spent a lot of time and money, I can tell you that the benefits of anchoring in meditation practice are immense, to say the least. In the last five years alone, I have spent 850 hours in silence and reflection under established teachers' guidance and more than 1000 hours of meditative practice have empowered me to live authentically and even embrace success in the material world more meaningfully.

Through my study and experience, let me simplify the concept of meditation. There are many definitions of meditation, but in essence, meditation means 'to go inward'. On this inward journey, you encounter many aspects of yourself, which are buried under the layers of social conditioning, prejudices and unaddressed emotions. These buried layers are unknown to the conscious mind but are present in the subconscious mind. No matter how much you think you are in control of your mind, it is the subconscious mind that is the driving force, which influences your thoughts, choices and action. Mediation helps you dive into the subconscious mind, and through awareness, it brings the deepseated complexities to the forefront, empowering you to disentangle from the unwholesome thoughts and emotions.
