Dr Kranthi R Vardhan - Weekly Newsletter - Issue#57

I hope this newsletter finds you in good health & high spirits.

Today, I want to share a profound insight that resonates deeply with the principles of Ayurveda, offering a pathway to both personal growth & emotional healing.

“Remember, when you forgive, you heal ! 
and when you let go, you grow !!”

It is the beautiful realization that when we choose to forgive, we open ourselves to healing, and when we courageously let go, we create space for growth and transformation.

Let’s dive deep to understand what Ayurveda teaches & offers on these 2 ideas of ‘Forgiveness’ & ‘Letting go’.

Ayurveda says:

Ayurveda, the ancient system of holistic healing, teaches us that our physical, mental, and emotional well-being are interconnected.

It recognizes the ‘Power of Forgiveness’ as a transformative tool for restoring harmony within ourselves and our relationships.

By ‘Letting Go’ of fears, burdens, troubles, emotions, grudges & resentment, we free ourselves from the emotional burden that hinders our growth.

What happens when we Forgive:

Forgiveness ~

• Holds the power to mend our wounded souls,

• Releases the burdens that weigh us down and

• Nurtures deep inner healing.

• Liberates us from the shackles of resentment, anger, and pain,

• Allows our hearts to breathe freely again

• Creates space within our hearts & minds, allowing healing to take place.

As we embrace forgiveness, we embark on a journey towards wholeness and renewal.

Ayurveda encourages us to cultivate forgiveness as a daily practice, nourishing our souls and fostering emotional equilibrium.

What happens when we Let go:

Letting go ~

• It is a vital aspect of personal growth.

• When we let go of attachments, expectations & past grievances, we create room for new possibilities and experiences to enter our lives.

• Letting go becomes an act of surrender, a surrender to the flow of life, and an invitation to embrace change and growth.

Ayurveda recognizes that holding onto attachments, negative thought patterns, and outdated beliefs impedes our progress and stifles our potential.

By relinquishing what no longer serves us, we create room for new experiences, wisdom, and personal evolution.

Through forgiveness and letting go, we unlock the gates to our own personal evolution, paving the way for a brighter, more expansive future.

4 Ayurvedic points to consider on your journey of forgiveness & letting go:

1. Practice Self-reflection:

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Aristotle

Take time to reflect on the areas in your life where forgiveness and letting go can bring about positive change. Observe the thoughts and emotions that arise, and use them as opportunities for self-awareness and growth.

2. Embrace Gratitude:

"Embrace gratitude, transform your life." - Unknown

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, appreciating the lessons learned from past experiences and the strength gained from challenges. Gratitude helps shift our focus from what we have lost to what we have gained.

3. Release Attachments with Awareness:

"Release attachments with awareness, for true freedom lies in letting go." - Eckhart Tolle

Identify attachments and thought patterns that no longer serve your well-being. With conscious awareness, gently release them, allowing space for new possibilities to enter your life.

4. Seek Support:

"Seeking support does not make you weak; it makes you courageous." - Lalah Delia

Surround yourself with a nurturing community or seek guidance from Ayurvedic practitioners, therapists, or trusted friends who can provide support and guidance on your healing and growth journey.

Wrapping up:

Remember, forgiveness and letting go are ongoing processes that require patience, self-compassion, and perseverance.

By embracing these principles and integrating Ayurvedic wisdom into our lives, we can unlock the transformative power that lies within us.

Wishing you a journey filled with growth, healing, and profound self-discovery.
