Body Intelligence

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR Most of us regard the self, or our deepest hub, as subtle. Just think of it. We all communicate with our mind, body, tongue and ear. Else, we would not have spoken, or heard another’s voice nor verbalised anything, or reflected, and sensed them — because, there would be no contact, or ‘bumping […]

Intuition: More Than Sixth Sense

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR All of us have the ability to use our intuition to enhance every area of our daily life, recover lost information about the past, verify unknown information about the present, or predict information about the future. You wouldn’t believe one word of it. No problem. As Laura Day, a renowned expert and author of […]

More Than Grey Matter

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR Our brain is an extraordinary engineering marvel — it does thousands of tasks without getting into boredom. Think of it — the thumping of our heart, lung function, or the surge of oxygen into our blood stream. The list is endless. The brain is a ‘pharmaceutical’ wonder — it maintains and processes hundreds […]

Emote To Connote

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR What we feel, see, smell, touch, hear, and taste are as important and striking as our emotions. Emotions are our soul songs that croon their ‘hearts’ out — they understand, they analyse, they slide, and go deep into the vast recesses of our being. They caress us just as much as they do […]

One could, therefore, […]

Focus. Fixate. Heal

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR The word, hypnosis, therapeutic hypnosis, or, better still, hypnotherapy, connotes awe and perplexity in most people. It isn’t either. It is essentially a condition, where the mind accepts suggestions ‘articulated’ by the therapist. Most clinical hypnotherapists prefer to call hypnosis ‘a state of heightened suggestibility’ that can be generated by a permutation of […]

The Healing Power Of Tears

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR It evolved ages ago — the pristine idea that crying has therapeutic effects on our psyche. The Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that crying could purify the mind by alleviating emotional stress — through the expression of emotions. Contemporary psychologists call this progression as catharsis. The idea of catharsis too is not new — […]

Soul Sutra

RAJGOPAL NIDAMBOOR We all voyage through life like combers over matter, or slow, measured surges — a form of explicit, or resourceful, transformation. This is part of our time and space expanse, or continuum. It delineates us and précises our existence — of who we are, as self-regulating entities, with each of us being as […]
