Peeking beyond the boundaries

When women come together to discuss, exchange notes, contemplate on life and beyond, the outcome is unlikely to be mundane, run of the mill.

And if these women also happen to be the movers and shakers, each having left their indelible mark in the fields they have forayed, the ensuing take away of such an interaction is bound to be monumental.

This is precisely what transpired during the recent three day International Women’s Conference hosted by the Art of Living, which brought together women leaders, scientists, artists, social workers, writers from across the world. The discussions amongst the women panellists hailing from diverse fields proved to be not only informative and engaging, but opened up vistas hitherto never visited or contemplated.

The theme opted for the conference was incidentally Circle of Life, taking the multiple discussions through various segments of life and lifestyle that are sparsely explored, deliberated, with some of the deliberations moving thence to the finer lines that are much more meaningful and fill with wonder, yet are scarcely pondered over or even paid heed.

It is all vibrations

An interesting statement emerged from celebrity chef Lauren Von Der Pool who championed the cause of vegan diet, with a best-selling book on the same, “Not many are aware of sound acting as a therapy, the vibrations of words having both negative and positive effects. This is especially clearly perceived in water, in the manner in which the water molecules transform to the vibrations of negative and positive words. Our body is made up primarily of water and the food and liquids we consume has water. Keeping the vibrations positive while preparing food is hence vital as it directly impacts the body.”
