In my practice, we often begin stress regulation with breath, because the breath is the fastest way to signal safety to the brain. One of the breathing that I recommend the most is Box Breathing. How to do Box Breathing (4–4–4–4): Inhale through the nose - 4 Hold - 4 Exhale through the nose - 4 Hold - 4 Repeat for 3–5 minutes If holds feel stressful, remove them. Slow breathing alone works. Slow, rhythmic breathing has been shown to improve heart rate variability (HRV), reduce sympathetic overdrive, and support emotional regulation, key markers of nervous system balance. Who should practice: Anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, poor focus, emotional overwhelm, or sleep dysregulation. Who should avoid breath holds: Pregnancy Uncontrolled hypertension Panic disorders triggered by retention Recent cardiac or lung conditions Start gently. Breath should never feel forced. Disclaimer: This practice supports nervous system regulation but does not replace medical treatment. If you have underlying health conditions, consult your healthcare professional before beginning breath retention techniques. #breathwork #boxbreathing

2.2 million schoolchildren in Delhi already have irreversible lung damage. Their lungs will never fully grow. Adults are developing chronic breathlessness and inflammation. Elders are struggling for every breath. This air is affecting the lungs, heart, brain, immunity, hormones, and cognitive health of millions across all age groups. This is not a seasonal or environmental issue. This is a Public Health Emergency. As a concerned Indian citizen, I have filed a PIL in the Supreme Court of India appealing for Clean Air as a Fundamental Right to Life. This is for our children and their future, for our elders, for families who are watching their loved ones get sicker every day, for the newborns and the babies yet to be born. We all deserve the right to clean air, clean food, and clean water, the very basics of life and dignity. We hold faith and trust in the Supreme Court of India to guide us forward for the health, protection, and future of every citizen. If you believe every breath matters, join us, and share this. We deserve to breathe. #BreatheForIndia 🇮🇳 #SupremeCourt #NCAP #TheStatesman #FitIndiaMovement #PIL #DelhiAirPollution #AirPollutionCrisis #IndiaAirPollution #AQI #ToxicAir

There is no perfect parent, and there is no perfect way of parenting. However, today I bring you the fundamental principles of mindful and conscious parenting aimed at raising resilient and confident children in the future. A few weeks ago, I invited all of you to share your burning questions on parenting, and now you will find the answers in this new episode featuring the amazing Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist, a New York Times bestselling author and a highly regarded figure in the conscious parenting space. In this episode, Dr. Shefali sheds light on the blending of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy in her practice and her work in counseling parents in raising authentic children who embrace their true worth. We explore important topics such as managing the influence of social media on our kids, instilling values, and building interpersonal connections. Drawing from her own childhood experiences and her journey as a parent, Dr. Shefali keeps the discussion raw, real, and relatable. I deeply appreciate how she emphasizes that parenting is not about outsourcing the responsibility to nannies or professionals, but about parents recognizing their unique role. While seeking help and utilizing resources is acceptable, the core job of parenting ultimately rests with the parents themselves. We also dive into Dr. Shefali's latest book, "The Parenting Map," which delves into the distinction between conscious parenting and traditional parenting. Whether you are a parent of young children or a grandparent wishing to share this valuable information with your own children who are now parents themselves, this episode aims to reach every caregiver.
