# Nourishing Immunities

 It was a regular Sunday morning and I had been chilling at my mother's beautiful house in Kerala.

There was a reminder on my phone about a session on "Building immunity in challenging times' which I did not want to miss. Its so true that immunity is not just for physical nourishment but also for the mental & emotional strengthening. 

Each day reading & hearing news related to the loss of lives and the trauma thereafter due to the pandemic has been overwhelming.

Sharing genuine & complete information with the doctor whom one consults helps in finding a proper solution. 'During these testing times trauma is also caused due to misplaced beliefs', said Dr Harsh a soft spoken and straight forward Physician. He matched completely with Sundari's views when she said, 'Listen to your own body before rushing out for a quick fix remedy as coming out of denial is the first step to acceptance.'

 Sundari was the charming bright eyed therapist who was hosting the live show on instagram. 

The combination of the two people in discussion gave out such explicit understanding on the intended session.

 How true it is that immunity is a long term process achieved through prolonged practice. A two minutes Pranayam  just one day cannot enhance meditational effect nor can popping of a multivitamin pill have a magical transformation on anyone. There is no short cut to achieve immunity- be it physical, mental or emotional. Our mental psyche impacts our body so keep it positive and trust your positive instincts. 

I decided to resume the two minutes deep breath activity by setting a reminder after every two hours. I must build a strong immune system as Nourishing immunities is indeed part of my self care now.

I am so thankful to Dr.Harsh & Sundari for this takeaway who also once again reaffirmed my belief in the Magic of Gratitude.

 

I am passionate about bringing positive change in people through logical reasoning and powerful impacts.

      Nourishing our Soul -

      When we take the time to re-connect with ourselves, replace our fears with trust, and learn to let go of the things we cannot control, this is taking care.

      When we listen to our intuition, embrace all of our imperfections, and stay authentic to who we are, this is taking care.

      When we ground ourselves in the present and make mental space to find clarity, this is taking care.

      When we discover our interior barriers and find courage to dissolve them, this is taking care.

      When we learn to be gentle with ourselves, this is truly taking care.

    An absolute truth, that we either tend to ignore or listen to the advertising media rather than sparing time to listen to ourselves to strengthen our immune system. Positivity is the need of the hour.
    Well said Rekhaji.

# The Golden Shower- Kani Konna Poovu & Saleem

Image
  The Kani Konna Poovu or the  Golden Shower flowers   or  the  Cassia Fistula (scientific name) blooms as the time for Kerala’s harvest festival, Vishu approaches, which falls on April 14 every year.  It is observed as the New Year falling on the Vernal Equinox. The  Kani Konna Poovu  is popularly used as the part of the “ Vishukkani ”, the ritual first thing seen on Vishu . The  Kani Konna Poovu  is also Kerala’s state flower. So, at The Health Village   in Aluva, Kerala, Valsa & the other staff enthusiastically arranged for the  Vishukkani to be kept in the office. I looked at the flower laden  Golden Shower tree and   at once decided to keep the Vishukkani in my room. After taking support of the staff I managed almost all the needed articles. The only thing left was the  Kani Konna Poovu ( the  Golden Shower flowers). As I sat at the bench overlooking the River Periyar  wondering as to how I would get the  Kani Konna Poovu... That was when  out of no where  Saleem -the n

"Wanderlust and Camaraderie: Unleashing Empowerment Through Travel"

Planning my first all-women's international trip was a journey in itself. Initially, my mind was a whirlwind of contemplation. Could I really step away from my responsibilities at home—my family, my kids, my work? It felt almost impossible to prioritize myself over these demands. But with loads of encouragement from my husband and a leap of faith, I decided to take the plunge. As I joined the group of incredible women on a trip to Georgia , I realized how much I had been craving this experience. Each day was a lesson in embracing life and learning from others. Urvashi's leadership left me deeply impressed; she effortlessly guided us, bringing the group together with her wisdom, wit, and invaluable wellness tips. Age is just a number, a sentiment beautifully echoed by Saddo Aapa, our cutest and most energetic elderly companion. Anuradha Di’s exceptional group management and Rehana Aapa’s nurturing care were invaluable. Finni Di’s grace added elegance to every interaction, whil

The woman that I am

Born in a family which welcomed the birth of a girl child whole heartedly, I considered myself lucky to have enjoyed the girlhood stage of my life. Staying in the northern part of the country most of my life, I often witnessed gender discrimination in the neighborhood families. The anti-girl attitude was tough to understand especially when my sister and I were never made to feel unimportant by our parents. Our mother was subjected to sympathy from the women around for having two daughters and she was also constantly advised to have a third child who may happen to be a son. In my growing years I even heard women saying that I hope I give birth to a son, even if he turns out to be a goon later, I won’t be subjected to the pressure from the family to keep producing children till a son is born. Sad but true this attitude has not changed completely. Colourism which is another form of discrimination based on skin tone is so very common and I not being a fair skinned female have enough and
