Over the weekend, I was speaking with a woman from New Delhi who made me laugh and smile in the best way. She said: 'In India, we welcome everyone… Lost souls—welcome. Wanderers—welcome. Lovers—welcome. Haters—welcome. Skeptics, seekers, saints, and sinners—welcome.' And the way she said it? Completely sincere. No judgment. Just openness. It reminded me of a moment years ago, walking through the sacred ruins of Hampi, India. I wasn’t greeted with the word “Namaste,” like I’d heard so many times before. Instead, I was greeted with Namaskar. It wasn’t casual. It wasn’t filtered through a yoga meme or tourist brochure. It felt sacred—a bow from one soul to another. Even as a foreigner, I felt seen. Not for my skin, clothes, or culture—but for something much deeper. “Namaskar” comes from namaha—a bow of devotion—and kar, meaning to do.It’s not just a word. It’s a conscious act of bowing.A gesture that says: I recognize the divine in you. I bow to that truth. In a world of polarities, there’s something healing in that. Because sometimes healing is about being truly seen. So today, whether you feel lost or luminous, grounded or growing… I offer you this: 🪷 Namaskar. I see you. I bow to the light in you. Have you ever experienced healing simply by being seen? I’d love to hear your story. SHARE BELOW! LEARN MORE | HERE

I've become aware of a particular linguistic habit. The use of the generalized 'us'. Not the literal 'us' in a specific room or group, but the broader 'we' that permeates much of public discourse. Here's what I'm frequently hearing: "Why do we think this?" "Why do we struggle with that?" "How do we feel about..." "We easily forget..." I didn't fully grasp how deeply this pattern affects me until a youtube short came my way, titled 'The animal everyone hates.' The video asks: "Why don't we see pigeons as beautiful?" The very premise of that question felt immediately alienating. My visceral reaction was: "But I do. So do thousands of others." This wasn't just mental disagreement — it was a deeply unsettling feeling, an unconscious activation in my nervous system, a subtle 'fight or flight' response telling me I wasn't part of the perceived collective. It's a small example, but it got me thinking how it highlights a much larger, insidious pattern in how we communicate. When someone uses 'we' to represent an opinion or experience they assume is universal, and my own reality contradicts that 'we,' it feels slightly dismissive — a subtle erasure. As if my perspective, my way of seeing the world, isn't part of the accepted collective narrative. When this happens repeatedly, it leads to a profound sense of isolation. I unconsciously felt this accumulating over time. Before I knew it, I didn't even bother sharing my views. I became silent. When unconsciously assuming a collective 'we' that doesn't exist for everyone, genuine understanding is prevented. When assuming 'we' all think one way, why explore diverse viewpoints? Even more concerning, the 'we' that alienates unwittingly fosters an implicit in-group / out-group, diminishing individuality. Isn't that the last thing needed in society right now? So instead of asking: "Why don't we see pigeons as beautiful?" a more inclusive question could be: "Why do some people not see pigeons as beautiful?" Or for truly understanding each other:
