Happy Soul - how did this wellness initiative come about?

My grandfather Baba Bedi was a renowned energy healer, my Buddhist grandmother Freda Bedi was an ordained nun, my mother filled my growing years with teachings of Osho, J.Krishnamurthy, Jung, Freud and more! So I grew up with a healthy understanding of wellness being holistic, and inclusive of mind, body and spirit. My decade-plus of research and study and certifications in the fields of various metasciences, quantum physics vs Newtonian physics and study of the human brain and psychology and in fields like Usui and Karuna Reiki, heal your life, soul temple, magnified healing, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), hypnosis courses like clinical hypnosis, spiritual hypnosis, behavioural resolution led me to amalgamate all that incredible wealth of information into workshops,

The objective was to simplify decades of study with an intention to empowering and making people the happiest versions of themselves. The Happy Soul journey started with me wanting to help people change the way they view and react to the world. I look around and see people filled with negativity, sadness, pain, frustration, and unable to extricate themselves from it because they don’t have the tools to do so. The workshop imparted skill sets, coping mechanisms, and changes on deep subconscious levels. The results and feedback has been outstanding.

Happy Soul later partnered with Magicians of wellness (India) LLP to get into a more corporate structure to introduce the incredible world of wellness to much larger audience. Through retail and our eCommerce website, we now give millions of people across India access to the best products and services in the world of healing and wellness, under one umbrella. I call it a wellness wonderland.
