I suffer from a few auto-immune illnesses. I have a congenitally acquired, debilitating and painful case of Varicose Veins in my right leg and inflammatory Ulcerative Colitus in my intestine. I was born with Varicose veins on one of my legs, it’s a condition in which the veins of the affected area become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood. Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red color. Fatigue and exhaustion are a major part of my life.

My childhood was arduous and aching as I slept in pain and woke up in pain and suffered that pain all day, every day. Till this day it’s the same story but how I manage my illnesses and handle my pain and my thought process has taken a 360 degree turn. Just to give you a brief peek into my past -- I couldn’t play like normal children of my age could and even if I forced myself to, I was rejected by my classmates because they felt weird about my abnormally swollen and discoloured leg, so I was picked on a lot, made fun of and was subjected to bullying regularly. These things of course tormented me, coloured my impression of me and as a result I grew up with intense feelings of self-hate and shame. I looked alright externally but internally I kept gradually slipping into depression. Things steadily went south specially when I hit puberty. My growing up years were dark filled with shame, agony and I was a victim of bullying and extreme body-shaming!

When I became an adult, I learned to mask my feelings well but deep within I still felt deep emotional and physical pain. Despite all my physical and emotional challenges, I was doing regular jobs like every other adult, I worked more than a decade in demanding corporate positions in MNC’s, in Health Journalism and Public Relations. But due to the difficult and exhausting nature of these jobs, my health conditions worsened. It was a result of a combination of work-stress, feelings of inadequacy, internal self-loathing and complete lack of self-care. After many years of both emotionally and physically suffering, my body caved in and I became bed-ridden. I became confined to my bed for years. I hit rock bottom and as J.K. Rolling says “Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life”.

About 12 years ago, I decided to take radical responsibility of my life and happiness in my own hands!I understood that the past doesn’t equal future unless we decide to live there. Past is a place of reference not a place of residence. So I decide to rewrite my story. I began with small mobility exercises and a combination of simple yoga asanas and slowly started gaining some body strength. Relaxation exercises are important for many people who live with chronic pain. Building strength and endurance gradually over time, I started gaining some muscle mass by working out in a gym and that practice of loving my body continues till day. I started enjoying group fitness classes and absolutely fell in love with the dance style - Zumba. I felt Zumba is “partying oneself into shape”. So from ailing and totally being incapacitated to becoming a dancing spirit was the most wonderful journey I’ve ever been on. It taught me so much about physical health, the mind-body connection and re-evaluating old, limiting patterns and belief systems that were holding me back. I was accessing countless resources of spiritual and personal development books, trainings, coaches, counsellors and healers. I studied and got many certifications to become a certified Life Coach. And that’s when I started travelling on this magical journey of self-exploration and self-healing, which taught me, how to connect to me, how to be present for me. It taught me how to listen to my brilliant and supportive inner guiding system. I became aware of how a lot of my pain was also caused by lack of self-expression of my needs. What I learned transformed my life, I understood that – ‘my needs are vital’ and I learned to prioritise them. Today I am a walking testimonial of what I’ve learned, implemented and transitioned and now I’m sharing it with the world. I’ve always believed and shared that the four cornerstones of success are re-evaluating the limiting beliefs, mindset re-wiring, skills development and radical self-love and self-compassion.

During the course of this time, some massive healing, quantum and leaping shifts, huge expansions, inner growth and connections happened for me. And that’s when I realised without a trace of doubt that this is my soul-calling! In my heart there was a distinct knowing that this is it, this IS what I was called to do in this lifetime. So I’ve been sharing the fruits and gifts of this spiritual awakening ever since to the seekers.
