  Mental Wellness for Digital Natives Introduction: Who Are Digital Natives? Digital natives are individuals who have grown up in an environment saturated with the internet, smartphones, social media, and instant communication. Unlike previous generations who adapted to technology later in life, digital natives have never known a world without Wi-Fi, notifications, and online identities. While technology offers incredible benefits — access to information, learning opportunities, global networking — it also presents new mental burden and psychological challenges. Constant connectivity can blur the boundaries between work and rest, online identity and real identity, validation and self-worth. Mental wellness for digital natives is therefore not about rejecting technology, but about learning to engage with it consciously and healthily. 1. The Psychological Impact of Constant Connectivity The Always-On Mind Smartphones have transformed attention into a fragmented resource. Notification...

Types of Meditation and Powerful Benefits

By Anup Mukherjee -
 There are many different types of meditation techniques that have been developed and practiced over the centuries. Here is a list of some of the most common types: 1) Concentration meditation : This type of meditation involves focusing your attention on a single object, such as your breath, a mantra, or a visual object. For example, in visual concentration, eyes are focused on a single dot on the wall. This is called Tratak meditation. Focusing on breathing is also sometimes called mindfulness meditation. The goal is to develop the ability to maintain focus and concentration, and to bring the mind into a state of calm and clarity. Concentration meditation can be practiced in a seated position, lying down, or even while walking or engaging in other activities. It typically involves finding a comfortable and upright posture, closing the eyes or focusing on a fixed point in front of the body, and paying attention to the chosen point of focus. When the mind wanders, ...

Compassion and Kindness for A Better Life

By Anup Mukherjee -
 Compassion and kindness are two important virtues that can have a powerful impact on the world around us. Compassion is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, while kindness is the act of being considerate and helpful towards others. Compassion helps us to see the world from another person's perspective and to feel empathy for their struggles and suffering. It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and to offer comfort and support when they need it most. Kindness, on the other hand, is about taking action to help others and make their lives a little easier. It can be as simple as offering a smile or a kind word, or as significant as volunteering time and resources to help those in need. Both compassion and kindness have the power to transform lives and create a more positive and caring world. When we show compassion and kindness towards others, we not only improve their lives, but we also enrich our own. In short, compassion and ki...

Past Life Regression: Great Tool For Mental Health

By Anup Mukherjee -
  Past Life Regression (PLR) Past life regression is a process that helps one attain self-awareness through exploring past life experiences. Using regression can be beneficial in many ways, especially because it's based on the principles of trust and belief in the possibility that everyone has lived before and left indelible marks on their souls. A past life regression session may seem mysterious and strange, but there’s nothing supernatural about it. It’s simply a guided journey that enables you to access memories from your previous lives. Ardent exponents like Brian Weiss connect it to our memories from previous lives, while a few others look at it as another method of imagination and hypnosis. PLR is useful in self analysis in coming out from the nadirs of mental health issues, and sometimes even to alleviate mental and physical health issues. It is said we carry many traumas and pains from our past lives, and having insight into the circumstances and situations tha...

The Bedside Book of Life by Jal Patel: Amazing

By Anup Mukherjee -
  The Bedside Book of Life - A Book For Lifetime The Bedside Book of Life by Jal Patel, having a beautiful cover, is an absolutely fabulous book that I've come across after a long time. Having read many authors/ practitioners - nearly all the books written by Brian L Weiss, Dolores Cannon (some of which I've also reviewed here ), Michael Newton, and many others, this book came as a pleasant surprise. The title of the book can be a misnomer that gives an impression as if it is some book of affirmations and good thoughts that can be read before sleep. In fact, this book can take an equal space with the authors mentioned above. This book is divided into small chapters - but behold - these small chapters has so much to think about that even I, who am conversant with the subject, had to pause to absorb what had been written. This book is divided into three parts, Part 1 (Soul Notes, Chap 1 - 36), Part 2 (Life Notes, Chap 37 - 51), and Part 3 (Healing Notes) Although thi...
