    WHO AM I is an age old question that many of us may ask ourselves at different stages of our lives. Getting to know ourselves is a journey; from understanding our personalities, to embracing our core values and consequently appreciating the essence of who we really are. Even though we are always adapting and evolving, there is a part of us that remains unaffected by external change.

  • Poem: My Purpose
    • Have you ever wondered if there is a deeper meaning to life?
    • Do you question your place within the world?
    • Are you curious about discovering your higher purpose?
    • The word Purpose, in Sanskrit is 'Dharma', which is of the thinking that each one of us has a significant meaning of existence. 

      This poem was written many years ago when I started to discover my Dharma. It continues to evolve, even today but the path of searching is reflected in this poem:


      I want to be someone,

      I want to go somewhere,

      I want to spread my knowledge,

      I have a desire to share.

      The ideas are all there,

      The plans are in place,

      I need to make it happen,

      Need to run faster in this race.

      I have been given a task,

      An important role,

      I need to hold on tight,

      I cannot let go.

      Even if things get tough,

      Or if my vision gets lost,

      I have to keep my faith going,

      Keep going at any cost.

      I have so much more to do,

      Much more to achieve,

      More tasks to complete,

      More rewards to receive.

      My journey is still long,

      My aims are still high,

      I need to fulfil my purpose,

      Until the day I die...

      • My Journey with Reiki

        Let me guide you on a journey to connect with your inner wisdom and create a life filled with purpose & joy. 

        I am a teacher, mentor & coach inspiring individuals to develop a mind, body, soul connection through healing, wellbeing & personal development.

        Welcome to my world where you will be taken on a journey of self-discovery through guided meditations, mindfulness techniques, positive affirmations, manifestation tips and poetry from my published book. Reach out to connect with me on social

        media, and let me know feedback on episodes that resonate with you. 

        In this episode, I reflect on how Reiki came into my life, like a bird flies into a garden. It was seamless and effortless, yet has sustained a significant impact on my physical health and emotional wellbeing. Since practicing Reiki on myself and others, I have found that I am in harmony with the Universal life force; it flows through me with ease. 

        I am passionate about inspiring others to connect with this powerful energy, known as Reiki (Japanese), Chi (chinese) or Prana (Indian). I believe we should all have access to this, so we can heal ourselves and others.

      • Poem: Maya

        The literal meaning of the word "Maya" is illusion. According to many schools of Hinduism, the world is an illusion; a play of the supreme consciousness of God. It is a projection of things and forms that are temporarily phenomenal and sustain the illusion of oneness and permanence. Maya therefore creates the ignorance of the individual self.

        There is a devil inside me,

        Eating me away,
        An uncontrollable force,
        Leading me astray.
        She enhances my vices,
        Encourages me to do wrong,
        A battle between good and bad,
        A fight to be strong.
        She tempts my senses towards evil,
        Veils my sight to be blind,
        Obstructs my spiritual growth
        She influences my mind.
        What is this powerful force,
        Creating a destructible intrusion,
        A force of dominant energy,
        Which itself is an illusion.
        I cannot let her prevail,
        If I want to go higher,
        I need to take control,
        I need to conquer Maya...

      • Poem: It was all a dream

        A personal poem, written during a breakup.


        When relationships fall apart, we tend to blame ourselves and question what we did wrong.
        At the time we are going through it, we find it hard to see the bigger picture, and feel as though this hurt will last forever.
        Writing this poem helped me process my emotions and heal myself.


        It was all a dream; by Nikita Thakrar:


        I am trying to make it easier;
        Easier for my heart,

        Easier to understand,

        How my dreams got torn apart.

        Perhaps I shouldn’t dream,

        Or maybe it wasn’t real

        Perhaps it is meant to be like this,

        Is this an imbalance of the wheel?

        What I just don’t understand,

        Or what I can’t seem to digest,

        Is why this only happens to me,

        And why not to all the rest?

        Is it because I am cursed?

        Or do I simply not deserve love?

        Will my luck ever be reversed?

        Or will it always be this tough?

        I am looking for an answer,

        I am looking deep inside,

        If you know what I am going through,

        Then please, can I confide?

        My heart feels like a toy,

        Played with and used,

        My mind is asking questions,

        As my body feels abused.

        Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique that allows one to access a state of deep relaxation between wakefulness and sleep. It has been proven to have various benefits for physical and mental health, such as lowering stress levels, blood pressure and heart rate, as well as soothing the nervous system and the internal organs. This ancient practice from India is widely used today as a tool for coping with anxiety, by quieting the fluctuations of the mind through conscious awareness of the sleep state.

      • Poem: Meditation

        Meditation, by Nikita Thakrar:


        I sit still as I watch, my thoughts pass by,
         Some fly past and others take time.
        I am not getting involved in the play of my mind,
         I remain detached and stillness I find.
        Nothing remains, only my breath,
          I am with the core of my being, my inner depth.
        I hear it sing and feel it vibrate,
         I connect with myself, through a bond of faith.
        My thoughts and desires have now disappeared,
         As I swim in the pool of emptiness, nothing is to be feared...

      • Daring to dream...

        Let me guide you on a journey to connect with your inner wisdom and create a life filled with purpose & joy. 

        I am a teacher, mentor & coach inspiring individuals to develop a mind, body, soul connection through healing, wellbeing & personal development.

        Welcome to my world, where you will be taken on a journey of self-discovery through guided meditations, mindfulness techniques, positive affirmations, manifestation tips and poetry from my published book. Reach out to connect with me on social

        media, and let me know feedback on episodes that resonate with you. 

        In this episode, I explore how the decisions we make when we are young go on to shape the rest of our lives...

        I was ambitious and fearless, when making decisions, relying on my intuition and instinct (consider working with my third eye meditation).

        As a result today, I am in my dream job. I have flexibility and freedom. I have work-life balance, where i can pursue hobbies, interests, wellbeing and I don't have high levels of stress.

        I believe that everyone has a 'calling'. It is up to us if we are brave enough to connect to ourselves to listen and consequently follow it...
