Have you ever felt overwhelmed?

Me too.

14 years ago, as a working mom, emotional stress was part of my daily life. Everyday was an internal battle with anger, guilt, shame, self doubt and more. I used to pile up these emotions inside my mind until they broke apart in severe pain as acute cervical spondylosis.The pain was so intense that i could hardly get out of my bed. No doctors were of help. The only option left to me was to surrender before a higher power. I surrendered and began reflecting on my suffering. After many days, realized that my physical suffering was a manifestation of my emotional pain. Although it did not help me heal it lead me to a great naturopath expert who treated me for a year and brought me back to life.

I returned to work and began noticing myself fall into the same old pits of emotional suffering. One day after work, i sat crying . Suddenly a question popped in my mind - Who is suffering? After many hours the answer came to me as my mind. I stopped crying and began looking for ways to calm my mind. This is what lead me to look into solutions within the ancient Sanskrit text - Holy Bhagavad Gita.
I flipped through the pages and discovered the concept of Gunas which are the qualities of our mind. According to Holy Bhagavad Gita, our mind has 3 qualities - Tamas, Rajas and Satva.

Tamas refers to mind in lethargy, Rajas refers to mind in agitation and Satva refers to mind in balance or peace. I began reflecting on my Gunas and began experimenting with them which lead to the discovery of the M.A.P method. The M.A.P method
has 3 steps
1.Measure your Guna: Measure which is your predominant Guna - Tamas, Rajas or Satva?
2. Align - Align your energy towards positivity
3. Purify: Purify by letting go off negative emotions.

By using this method consistently, I found more calm and balance in my life.

So, I invite you to reflect: Which Guna is most dominant in your day? How can you guide yourself toward Sattva—clarity, peace, and balance?

A peaceful mind is the beginning of wellbeing.
