Life, as I see it

I have treated Veena (name changed) for asthma and her bad condition of continuous dry cough, got better over last 2 weeks. She was living in a dirty manner, unable to do much, feeling weak, whole body showing dryness. Her attitude showed dejection from others and self, as she never received care; she would move her own hair harshly while getting treated. Now, she is cleaned-up, her dress is more neat, she doesn’t cough during my entire stay of few hours but just once but keeps sitting comfortably, waiting for her turn to be treated. Everyone tells, how her cough has reduced drastically and she is much better. She also tells that she is not coughing anymore, able to sleep better, though there is still some cough in the night. Yesterday, she told me she is now able to take out her own clothes, take bath, wash her clothes and thus do her daily chores, while earlier she was taking help from others for all these. While, I was treating her, she kept looking at me, I asked what i...

I had just begun my practice as a holistic healer, few days ago, when one family came to the clinic from Rajasthan. They were around 5-6 people, who had come from a village and each one had a few health issues. I was volunteering and checking patients for free. One lady from this family came up to me and after her consultation, sent her sister, who was one of the most innocent and sweet women I have ever met. I remember she had issues in working of few body parts and pain, due to brain injury. I asked her, how the injury happened and she told me ‘bhaisiya hamka patak dihni’. It took me a minute to understand that she was thrown away by her buffalo and I suddenly burst into laughter and she laughed with me, innocently and sweetly, without any judgement or blame. I can visualize her smiling face right now. Unfortunately, her issues were growing over time and she was living with few difficulties of mobilization and regular pain. Next came the granny 1 of the family, who I consulte...

It was my 3 rd  class of 'Adhyatam' course by ' Valuable Childhood ' conducted for kids of Ngo. By now, the initially dis-interested, playful and distracted kids had become attentive and few kids were doing the exercises with dedication. Recitation of the poem ‘Veer tum badhe chalo’ was a source of strength for the entire class. I was getting late for my next class and checked with couple of auto fellows, who asked for double the price like they do, mostly in Bangalore. I was getting fed up and then I asked another auto fellow, who asked for 3 times the price. I said ‘ok’ and was moving away, when he asked me to sit, again. At this point, for a moment my disapproval for his cheating became evident in my facial expressions and I moved on steadily & speedily towards the class. Oh, so this strength is flowing through me as well, I realized later, during the day. I remembered that from last few years, I had kind of adjusted with auto-driver's attitude or let t...
