My First Book is here – Umeni Therapy!

YES!!! It’s finally here. 
A project so dear to my heart & What can be a better place than this to share my special news!

Well, I have been working on methods for better engagement of adults at work and otherwise, to achieve the right work-life balance in a practical way. 

And I realized what can be better than art, something easy as well as something that enhances your creativity while it calms your mind at the same time.

Art therapy has been always a popular method to engage teens & adults across the world in all sizes of schools, colleges, corporate, educational or other kinds of organizational setups. 

After traveling across some countries & speaking to many people working on similar projects, I realized – How a simple activity can completely transform your mental vibrations.

So inspired by this therapy and collecting all of my artistic instincts along with all my love for art, I created my first book, which is easily accessible for all of you in India.

It called – #UmeniTherapy. 

The name(has a little story behind it), the designs and every little detail of the book is made with immense care and my love for art, just to give a a beautifully enriching experience! 
You will know when you will hold one in your hands!

The best de-stress relaxing activity on the go with some crazy designs. It works to enhance your creative skills and cuts down negative thought process drastically. From basic issues like stress, resentment, anger or even depression, it works wonders with all age groups starting from 12 to 90 years old. 

#umenitherapy
Worth a try!

So, Go ahead & fill in the colors while you are traveling, or taking a small break at work, or at home. It does not demand much time or effort and it is practically possible to fit this experience in your daily routine.

If this is something that excites you, It is the best gift you can give yourself! 

And to people around you like your spouse, your kids, colleagues, employees, Clients or partners.
I wouldn’t hesitate to say its the perfect gift for this festive season of #christmas too.

To shroud the hair issue, apply turmeric paste or make a pack of beetroot/carrot juice with fresh milk cream, massage it on the upper lip area and rinse with cold water. To stop the hair growth at that patch, apply a pack of honey and turmeric powder before going to bed.

3. Dark circles and wrinkles?

Stress, alcohol consumption, smoking, menstruals, lack of sleep etcetera causes dark circles, wrinkles and gives an aged look. Use cucumber or a cotton ball dipped in rose water on your eyes for 15-20 minutes. This would refresh your eyes and show significant improvement as dark circles and wrinkles decrease. Applying mint juice might also help.
4. Say yes to banana!

Everyone loves to eat banana but did you know it can be used as a beauty ingredient too? Surprised? Check these equations out!

* Banana (Half ripped, mashed; apply for 20-25 mins) = Natural moisturizer
* Banana (Half ripped, mashed) + Honey

* Banana (mashed) + Sugar = Natural Scrub, moisturizer.
* Banana + Avocado (mashed; leave for 20 mins) = anti-aging cream.

5. Pimples – a nightmare.
Pimples always show up when we have a very important meeting or social gathering. Here are few quick fixes which wouldn’t eradicate pimples completely but might save us from the worst.

*Rub potato peel for minimum 20 mins.
* Apply tomato juice as a face-wash, especially on the affected area and rinse.
* Sprinkle orange peel.
* Splurge on some neem.
*Honey and band-aid covering the affected area. Leave overnight.

6. Women DON’T bulk up using weights for exercise.

This is a common myth. No! Regular exercise makes the muscles firm. Go ahead and lift weights. 🙂

7. More you sweat, more calories you burn? No.
Sweat is a biological response that cools your skin and regulates internal body temperature, it has absolutely no relation with the amount of calories you burn.

8. Myth: More you exercise, the better.
Our muscles go through a really tough session during our workouts. The more we exercise, the more strain we cause to the muscles. Hence, working out is necessary, but in limits. Even muscles need time to recover.

9. Skipping sleep can result in weight GAIN.

Yes! you read it right. A person is ought to sleep for 7 hours minimum, or it results in weight gain. Partial sleep produces hormones which causes hunger.

10. Clicking pictures of everything can affect your mental health.
