WE LOVE CELEBRATIONS

                                               

  Unlike other mothers, I had a problem child. My little girl Vidisha was a little too confident and independent for her age and I felt scared to let her fly solo. At three years she could look after herself better than older children. Soon, I learnt to trust her instincts and let her test her wings. The pattern set in and she kept soaring from one success to the other with great courage and determination.

 Motherhood brought out many hidden strengths and I encouraged her to take bold, confident strides in the professional challenges as well.
 
 One day she told me that she wanted to resign from her job as it was not her true calling. She was already a trained teacher under the Louise L. Hay's, Heal Your Life programs for Healing the body ,mind and soul and I was happy she was learning to take decisions which could be life changing. A year ago she resigned and started conducting healing workshops and  other modalities in ad hoc places. She herself grew as she kept conducting courses and learning new modalities, adding to her profile as a healer.

Exactly a year later, last month in June she was looking for a space of her own, at the same time wondering if she was not being hasty. A few brainstorming sessions later, joined by a partner, Sunita Rao, she was ready to launch  her independent healing center. Within a month they had found a suitable place. Tara, who lent earthy beauty to the Sanctuary contributed with love. It is a space where  Heal Your Life workshops, meditations, sound therapy, regression therapy, crystal therapy and other forms of healing are made accessible in a safe and peaceful environment.

On 16th July,2016 The Sanctuary opened its doors, inviting everyone to open the doors to their own inner sanctuary through healing of  body ,mind and soul. Although placed in the heart of the busy Koregaon Park area surrounding the Osho Ashram, the space has  remarkable and strikingly serene vibrations. Situated on the banks of a river with a small garden that slopes down up to the water, it has large trees all round where birds flock and add their musical notes to the mesmerizing meditational music  playing inside.
 The river too joins in this musical orchestration as it's water flows by gurgling and tinkling, calming the senses with it's soothing sounds. The view from the windows is spectacular, especially at sunset when the sky is splashed with colors changing from grey to golden, orange, red and pink as the sun, like a huge ball of fire seems to be dipping into the river at the bank beyond. As we watched, within seconds the vista changed and a myriad twinkling lights got reflected on the river surface as the buildings on the banks started lighting up. The peace and calm that descended on The Sanctuary was so conducive to a meditational mood which taught one to let go of the days turmoil and withdraw ones senses into a zone of tranquility and surrender to The Divine.


                                                          

                                           SUNSET AT THE SANCTUARY


The launch of The Sanctuary was an affectionate gathering of friends, participants, new aspirants, few guests and family members who blessed the space with their love and warmth. Each one was leaving behind a message on a board, taking pictures, writing gratitude slips and putting them into a jar in the Gratitude Corner. Many were attending short sound  meditation or crystal healing sessions. I was specially touched by the fact that everyone who walked through the door brought in peaceful vibrations full of love and peace and stayed on with a sense of ownership and belongingness. The love that flowed in that space from one soul to the other was palpable and unifying. The realization of Oneness was clearly felt by each one present. My heart tells me that everyone who enters those doors will leave their pain and struggles behind going out with a sense of peace, freedom and well being.

                                                    LOVE, HARMONY& HEALING                    


One of Vidisha's friends, Ritu Gupta, had come all the way from Bhatinda. Herself a Louise Hay teacher, she handled the PRship excellently guiding new aspirants and guests around.. Friends like Tara, Anu, Shweta, Vasanta, Charu, Malobi and Chiya added to the evening in their special ways while my little grand daughter, Mishti, went around conducting her own guided tours and meditation sessions which the adults very sportingly attended !!

I was pleasantly surprised at the efficacy with which Vidisha handled everything. Being a mother I am always a little critical and judgmental but I could see my little girl had blossomed into a capable and confident woman who found her calling in spreading joy and happiness to others. I am always with her at every step, standing in the wings , waiting to applaud every triumph of hers. Having done the course under her, I see and respect the teacher in her, as I see her growing step by step. Watching the sunset from the window, I was at peace knowing that she had manifested what she had dreamt of and I could rest knowing that my own sunset could be a peaceful one.
