Mind and Psychology



The more I rove my studies in Psychology, I realize that we all need to learn it. Psychology is something we all need to be aware and it's a lot of practice. Knowing the theory is one thing. Using the application is another thing. As a counselor, I truly believe it is important for me to understand the theory and practical aspects in order to not only help others but heal myself too.
Yesterday I started doing some reading on Grief Therapy and it seems to make a lot of sense. The main reason I ventured into this was to study about myself, how I coped with losses in life. As I go deeper, I sense that I have personally gone through various stages without me realizing it cognitively. And now it seems to be that I have a clearer and bigger picture as I understand theoretically and with my personal experiences, I have better ideas on how to help the grieving individuals.
Eventually we all heal but at times it is difficult. So we as families and friends have to find ways to help these victims. As grieving individuals, they too will need to make some efforts to help themselves with people who are willing to understand and guide them accordingly. Interventions can help if an individual wants to help him or herself too. But counselling is a team work,folks.
Keep this in mind and do give some space for such individuals to grief, moan and heal. Time will heal.

“The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. To damage this community is to diminish our own existence.” — Thomas Berry.  Perhaps Thomas Berry really connected with Mother Nature in depth and had tried to educate his fellow human beings through his writings but somehow or rather we did not hear, left alone listen to his words of wisdom. Then again, he was not the only one screaming to the world. Instead there were many others who were warning us. Many individuals who walked from different walks of life came at different times to educate us. Example of some famous names include Kahlil Gibran, Thich Nhat Hanh, John Keats, Wangari Maathai, Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Vandana Shiva, Naseeruddin Shah, Jane Goodall, Leonardo Dicaprio, Greta Thunberg, Licypriya Kangujam and the list can go on.  At times, we do not give Mother Nature much of choice, do we? Well, as we always say a ...

Forgiveness is a Journey

    Bryant H. McGill once said,  "There is no love without forgiveness and there is no forgiveness without love."  Forgiveness is a Journey. It does not happen over night but again we only Forgive when we Let Go the past. Of course, when the realization arise from within, one will make a conscious decision to walk on that pathway. Forgiving someone means that we accept another person as who they are and move forward with a greater depth of understanding that nobody is perfect in this world.  In fact, it is not an easy effort but neither is it impossible. Generally, human beings resist to forgive only because they are afraid of being hurt again. Hence, they refrain themselves from reaching out to others with love. When one carries these pain, vengence, anger, frustrations etc. within them for a long period of time, they are only hurting themselves further. Eventually these emotions turn into negative vibrations and they deteriorate in life. At times, the vibratio...

Change

Sometimes I find it amazing how we human's react in life. We never seem to be satisfied with anything. It is our right to voice out on certain matters, no doubt on that. But again, why do we complain so much? Why is that we can never see the good side of life? When some event or matters take off well and succeed, very few actually say good things. But when something negative happens in a small or big way, it is blown up with so much of emotion. This is a worldwide scenario and is happening everywhere. Why do we always react and not respond in life? Time to ponder. I am one person who speaks from my heart. I do not believe in Violence, Condemning One another, Gossiping, Being Harsh or Putting down others. I will raise my thoughts if there is Injustice nevertheless I think it is not necessary to always react in life. Past one year, I have been observing myself and correcting my actions and thoughts. I have learned the truth of life. Instead of  REACTING  it is always best...
