Namaste
Trust you all are at your healthy, happy, hopeful & resilient best.
What a beautiful & meaningful way to start this important day, with a warm & deep conversation with my wise son Pratyush Verma who reminded me that —
“Spirit of Hope” is the only thing that stays in the Pandora’s Jar even as all the adversities, evils, fears & pains get un-boxed & un-leashed.
HOPE, indeed — my wonderful friends, always stays with us, no matter what. It is the most precious gift we can make to ourselves when in trauma or pain, along-with its buddies of faith, patience, resilience, gratitude and meaning.
What made my day even more meaningful was the opportunity to speak as a panellist at the “Wellbeing Conclave” organised this morning by IIM Bodhgaya’s “Samatvam – The Mindfulness Centre”.
It is so heartening to see a B-School not just mainstreaming “Mental Wellbeing” in the management education, but also taking the courageously initiating conversations on the unique and uncommon but sorely needed theme of “Grief & Growth”.
My warmest appreciation and gratitude to the IIM-BG Director Dr Vinita Sahay, and her illustrious team of Dr Teena Bharti & Dr Nidhi Mishra for their thoughtful endeavour. I also thank my fellow panellist Dr Shubhra for enlightening us about the inspiring initiatives that her organization has undertaken to support employees coping with loss & trauma. Most of all, I must appreciate the amazing student fraternity at IIM-BG for their appreciative & engaged participation in this unique discourse.
I am happy to support those in grief and trauma, especially as a pro-bono service to those who need this help but are financially challenged to afford this.
Buzz me for expert help & empathetic companioning to facilitate “Grief & Growth” journey of anyone you know needs this help.
Reach out to others in pain. And remember to care for yourself.
Stay safe, healthy & happy. And continue to grow.
With love & light
Neena Verma
