When I released my first children’s spiritual book, some “friends” made jokes about me. The fun continued when I released my second book. A few relatives even joked, saying, “By reading your books, all children will attain salvation through meditation.” I smiled and responded, “Wouldn’t that be amazing? Imagine all children meditating! The thought itself feels so beautiful.” After that, there were no more comments. When I released my third book, people became more observant, and a few quietly walked out of my life. After my fourth, some still joked, asking when the next one would come. So I continued… I released my fifth and sixth books. Now, there is silence. And even if something is said, I no longer give my energy to that noise. But along this journey, something beautiful happened… I met many new people. I found all of you wonderful souls. For the first time, I truly felt at home and at peace. I am learning from all of you and sharing whatever I can along the way. Today, I am exploring new courses and learning deeply, thanks to @Pari Patri⁩. What more could I ask for? Everything has opened up at the exact moment. Heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you here, dear co-creators. 🙏🥰❤️

Have you ever been told you’re ‘too much’? What if that’s not a flaw, but a form of power waiting to be understood? If someone says you are very loud, it may simply mean that you are expressing yourself fully and have embraced the power within you. There is strength in being able to convey your thoughts with clarity and confidence, especially when they come from a place of truth and righteousness. When this expression is balanced with awareness and intention, it becomes a beautiful blend of your divine feminine energy—flow, expression, and intuition—and your divine masculine energy—clarity, direction, and action. Trust this inner balance and move forward in your life with confidence. When you align your voice with purpose, you naturally begin to love and enjoy what you do, and in that space, you experience the deeper bliss and fulfillment that life has to offer. Have you ever held back your voice… or are you learning to express it with balance and awareness? Comment your answers below. 🥰

First, understand this - we all have masculine and feminine natures. Masculinity helps us move forward in life, and femininity helps with nurturing. This is also called Yang and Yin. Women are, by default, carriers of the nurturing aspect—receiving, resting, and caring (yin), and men are, by default, carriers of movement or forward action—achieving and acting (yang). But without yang energy, women cannot move forward. We all have the innate ability to achieve equally, just as men do. In the same way, men can also nurture and provide with love. Hurry and worry come when we lose our nurturing side and operate only from the masculine side of ourselves. In that process, women tend to ignore self-care as well. If you observe, even men do not give much importance to self-care. I have seen both men and women (especially in our parents’ and grandparents’ generations) set aside their own needs to provide for their loved ones. We can gently explain that self-care, irrespective of gender, is very important for the well-being of the entire family—to bring balance to all aspects of life, especially in today’s world. Only when we take care of ourselves can we truly take care of others. Meditation helps us bring this into balance. Because of this, women, especially, can now communicate and express their opinions more freely than in earlier generations. Rather than feeling like we are justifying ourselves, we can gently explain this perspective to others, especially those who are not meditators. We can guide them and share our thoughts with love. Even though we have gone through this stage, the difference now is that we are aware. When we operate from love and higher awareness, people around us also begin to change. We have learned this in our sessions as well. So, our thought process matters. Instead of staying in lower emotions and thinking, “Why should I justify everything I do?”, we can shift our perspective and see that by staying grounded, we help others understand. Holding that higher state consistently is the key.

Today I woke up feeling deeply grateful, and I felt called to share this with all of you. Here’s a short video from my presentation during the Stress Management class coached by @Pari Patri, where I spoke about stress, different types of stress, resilience, and coherence. If you resonate with this, I warmly invite you to join the next batch scheduled to start on August 18th. The learnings from this course can truly help us manage stress in our day-to-day lives using simple, practical coping techniques — and more importantly, help us pass this awareness on to others. Together, we can move toward creating a more balanced, stress-aware world while staying rooted in the core values and foundation of PSSM. My heartfelt gratitude to @Pari Patri for initiating this beautiful course, and sincere thanks to all my co-coaches and co-creators who are walking this journey with me. I’m truly grateful to be learning and growing alongside all of you. This video is just a small sneak peek into what you’ll experience if you choose to register. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed sharing it. Note: Please excuse my cough and voice in the video — I was recovering from the flu when I presented. With gratitude, Sirisha

Food for soul!
