Dear, all! Please allow me to share my personal experience about the birth of the ‘Concept’ of the “Art for Healing Workshops and Events”
The story starts with my ‘4th-year-college’ project that gave me the opportunity to do deep research on the “Comprehension of War”. A seemingly contrasting concept.
On submitting my research paper, I got down to thinking long and hard about the next execution of my main development program. This needed to be on a topic related to my research. After several brainstorming sessions with my mentors Shaaz sir, Aarti ma’am, at IIAD, and my mom at home whom I was then interning with, for the lack of permission due to my doctor’s advice. My mom stepped up to be my third mentor from the capacity of me doing my internship with her Co-founded platform HealThyRam.com.
I did try several creations; which I would love to share some extracts with you all. But that’s for later. For now, I wish to share my experience of working with my mom as my partner for working out and building towards the concept of “Healing”!
All my research, reports, and projects sensitized me more and more about the devastation and despair that comes with war… not only the physical but also mental and emotional!
Even though “War” and “Wellness” are contrasting topics. And the opposites. But towards the end of my several project works, we could sense a straight connection! That was rooted in the need for healing!
Indeed, war and wellness are two contrasting concepts that represent the extreme ends of human existence. Wars, be it physical War between Nations; between humans and a micro Virus; or the invisible war within – of Virtues with our sins… have always left a devastating impact on the world, leading to loss of life, resources, and hope. In contrast, wellness represents a state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being that brings joy, positivity, and hope.
The physical war between nations is perhaps the most devastating form of war, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. The physical scars of war may heal over time, but the emotional and psychological trauma lingers on for generations to come. The human toll of war is immense, and the cost is often too high to justify. Yet, wars continue to happen, fueled by greed, power, and hate.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the fore a different kind of war, one between humans and microorganisms. The pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide, causing immense physical, mental, and emotional suffering. It has exposed the fragility of human existence and our dependence on science, technology, and the goodwill of our fellow humans.
But there is also another war that happens within each one of us, the war of virtues from sins. Every day, we struggle to make the right choices, to be kind, compassionate, and empathetic towards others, to lead a life that is purposeful and meaningful. Yet, we often succumb to our weaknesses, to our vices, and to the temptations of the world around us. This internal war is perhaps the most challenging and demanding of all, requiring immense courage, strength, and resilience to overcome.
