Discover Joy in Daily Life: Smile Taiji for Mental Wellness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you also stuck in a loop of demanding jobs, chasing deadlines, busy schedules, ‘doom’ scrolling, and the sheer pace of life? Despite all the achievements, do you also not feel truly happy? Don’t worry, we’re all in the same boat. 

Just like you, many people we meet have tried different ways to cope – be it gymming, a weekend getaway, or tuning out with podcasts. They might help for a while, but they have their own constraints. They require lots of time, or money, or both. And despite all of this, you can still feel a kind of emotional numbness, or a silent burnout. So what is the solution? 

Enter Smile Taiji – an ancient technique that changes the way you breathe, move, and live – leading to a happier and stress-free life.


 

Are You Happy or Just “Feeling Fine”?

Do you wait for your next vacation to live life? Do you think you’ll be happy only after getting that promotion? Do you feel no excitement during your regular day? Does your mind start racing the minute you sit for meditation?

If the answer to any of the questions above is Yes, then you are missing out on the greatest treasures of life – the joy of just living. 

 

Why Mental Wellness Matters (Now More Than Ever)

Constant notifications, work pressure, the pressure to hustle and look happy while doing it – all this pulls us away from our inner peace. True happiness isn’t a well-curated Instagram feed or the social meet-ups that leave you feeling all the more lonely; it’s the constant feeling of joy and satisfaction in your everyday routine. This is where Smile Taiji can help. 


 

Smile Taiji – Where Movement Meets Joy

You might have seen people practicing Taiji (or Tai Chi) in your neighbourhood parks – those slow and graceful movements. It’s an ancient Asian practice that is done to harmonize your mind, energy, and body. 

Smile Taiji adds a simple twist to the ancient Taiji – an intentional smile. You move your hands and body slowly with awareness and a soft smile. It is a low-impact movement that needs no prior experience; therefore, it can be done anywhere and by anyone. As you do this, energy points in your body get activated, and your nervous system starts calming down.

Studies have shown that even if you consciously smile, your body releases the happy hormones like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. So think of it as a technique to train your mind to be happier and more positive. 

How It Helps Your Mind And Mood

Smile Taiji has tangible benefits that directly address the challenges of your fast-paced lifestyle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why It Works for Our Generation

You don’t need to wake up at 5 AM or disturb your routine. Smile Taiji is designed for people like us – working professionals, young parents, freelancers, or anyone juggling 10 tabs in their brain.

  • It fits into your lifestyle.
  • It doesn’t demand a lot of time or money.
  • It can be done anytime, anywhere.

 

Conclusion: Start Smiling, Start Thriving

If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted or mentally stuck, maybe all you need is to move gently with an intentional smile. Start practicing Smile Taiji today!

Anti-Ageing from Within: A Holistic Approach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is your idea of ageing – smooth skin and fewer wrinkles? Yes? 

Congratulations! You are a victim of the narrative that only benefits the ‘beauty’ industry. And you are not alone! It’s been fed to us that creams and serums can reverse your ageing, but the truth is far from it. 

True anti-ageing starts from within! Anti-ageing means you are healthy at all levels: mental, emotional, and physical. When your body and mind work in harmony, that’s when you can reverse ageing. 

We’re often asked, “Is it truly possible to stop the aging process and even reverse ‘incurable’ health issues like diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, or hormonal imbalances?” 

Our answer is a resounding Yes!

While we cannot stop getting older, we can definitely stop feeling like it. The solution is not in the anti-ageing serums or beauty treatments; they just help your skin look younger. However, what about the other signs of ageing? Knee pains, fatigue, blood pressure issues, heart problems, and many more such signs that make you feel old? In this blog, you will learn about holistic anti-ageing tips and natural anti-ageing remedies that will not only help in a radiant skin routine but also focus on curing chronic health diseases, boosting energy, and working on mental well-being. 


Why Holistic Wellness For Ageing Works Better Than Just Skincare

Applying fancy creams and serums only works on the outermost layer of your body. ‘Anti-ageing creams can reverse ageing’ is a myth. In reality, these beauty treatments have their own limitations. Ageing is influenced more by hormones, inflammation, sleep, gut health, and other age-related health issues. Holistic wellness focuses on fostering long-term health, helping you live a life that feels as young as you look.

 

Science-backed reasons to focus on internal wellness

According to science-backed research, a nutritious diet, exercise, hormonal balance, and stress reduction have a better effect on anti-ageing. Yoga, as well, is considered important for a healthy lifestyle for youthful skin.


Anti-Ageing Diet Plan

Food isn’t just about satisfying your cravings or even weight loss. It’s about healing chronic inflammation, improving gut health, balancing hormones, managing conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and PCOS, and ultimately helping in natural ways to prevent ageing.

Exercise for Anti-Ageing

 

Best Exercises to Slow Down Ageing Naturally

    • Yoga & Pranayam: One of the most important anti-ageing lifestyle habits for long-term health is breath and movement coordination. Yoga helps with deeper breathing and improving flexibility, therefore helping with glowing skin. 
    • Smile Taichi: Stress is the root cause of wrinkles and weight imbalance. One of the stress reduction techniques for anti-ageing and wellness is Smile Taichi. It helps in managing stress and ultimately reducing cortisol. 
    • Walking & Cardio: Walking not only supports heart, brain, and lung health, but it also helps in fighting depression.
    • Twist Therapy: Gentle body twists improve digestion, reduce tension, and detoxify internal organs. 

 


Korean Treatment for Anti-Ageing – SuJok

We earlier discussed that anti-ageing also means reversing age-related diseases. But how is this achieved? Koreans, masters of anti-aging, offer a powerful answer: SuJok therapy. This treatment, combined with lifestyle adjustments, can help reverse many age-related conditions.

Holistic Approach To Anti-Ageing And Healthy Living

 

Daily Anti-Ageing Lifestyle Habits for Anti-Ageing 

  • Sleep for at least 7–9 hours to rejuvenate your body.
  • Maintain a consistent routine to help regulate hormones.
  • Try practicing minimal screen time at night to prevent eye strain.

 

Mind-Body Wellness for Anti-Ageing

  • Practice gratitude and affirmations daily. It rewires your mindset for joy and acceptance.
  • Practice mindful self-care like bath rituals, slow mornings, and conscious eating.
  • Try journaling to ensure emotional release. 
  • Focus on meditation to balance your nervous system. 

Conclusion: Fitness and Wellness for Ageing Gracefully

Let Food Be Your Medicine: A Guide to Nutritional Healing

Are you eating to survive, or eating to heal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a world filled with diet fads, conflicting advice, and quick fixes, it’s easy to feel lost about what to eat. But at Monisha’s Mantra, we believe:

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Food isn’t just about satisfying your cravings or even weight loss. It’s about healing chronic inflammation, improving gut health, balancing hormones, and even managing conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and PCOS.


What Is Nutritional Healing?

Nutritional healing asks a very important question: 

‘What does your body need to maintain energy, feel better, and restore balance?’

It does not promote a ‘diet plan for weight loss’ or the latest ‘keto diet plan’. It is about correcting internal imbalances, be it hormonal, digestive, metabolic, or mental. It’s about listening to your body and feeding it what it needs to feel better. 

At Monisha’s Mantra, we approach nutritional healing with:

  • Personalized nutrition plans, because we believe not one-size-fits-all
  • Food choices aligned with your energy pathways
  • Seasonal, local, and sattvic foods that support sustainable wellness

This approach doesn’t focus on eating less, but on eating better. It focuses on food that supports your gut, calms your inflammation, balances your hormones, and sharpens your mind.


The Gut: The First Step in Any Nutritional Healing Plan

Your gut not only digests your food, but also plays a role in your immunity, your mood, your energy levels, even your skin. No medicine or supplements will work if your gut is inflamed or imbalanced.

Why the gut is important:

  • Breaks down nutrients for your body to function
  • Contains beneficial bacteria (your gut microbiome) that affect mood, metabolism, and immunity
  • Produces serotonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, stress, and emotions
  • Influences chronic conditions like acne, PCOS, thyroid, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases

How to support gut health naturally:

  • Eat more fiber-rich food like vegetables, dals, and fruits
  •  Homemade pickles
  • Sip warm jeera, dhaniya, and saunf water (antacid water) to support digestion
  • Cook with spices like ajwain and hing that keep your gut calm
  • Give your gut time to rest overnight, and start with 12-hour intermittent fasting and go up to 16 hours of fasting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We get asked about gut health supplements all the time. But often, it’s your kitchen that is the answer, and not your medicine cabinet.


Inflammation & Autoimmune: The Invisible Root Cause of Diseases

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can feel fine and still be inflamed. Over time, inflammation can lead to conditions like PCOS, thyroid issues, joint pain, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.

This inflammation could be because of:

  • Excess sugar, fried foods, processed snacks
  • Nutrient deficiencies (like zinc, magnesium)
  • Gut imbalance
  • Chronic stress and late-night eating

Why is inflammation so dangerous?

It keeps your immune system on constant alert, leading to:

  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Hormonal disruption
  • Autoimmune flare-ups
  • Poor digestion

Nutritional healing tips for inflammation:

  • Switch to cold-pressed oils
  • Use turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon in your meals
  • Include anti-inflammatory foods like greens, berries, ghee, and soaked nuts
  • Eat dinner at least 4 hours before sleeping
  • If hungry at night after dinner, have green tea

 


Food & Mental Health: What is the Connection?

You might have heard the phrase: ‘You are what you eat’. However, there is another saying: 

‘You feel what you eat’ 

This might not be very common, but it’s definitely true. There’s a strong connection between what you eat and how you feel. 

Many people don’t realize that their anxiety, mood swings, low energy levels, or irritability could be linked to what’s on their plate. Over 90% of serotonin – the “feel-good” hormone – is produced in the gut. Skipping meals, living on chai, or eating junk food can make your system off balance. Your brain needs steady blood sugar and essential nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and zinc to function well.

Try this instead:

  • Start your day with soaked almonds, walnuts, and a bowl of seasonal fruits
  • Make sure your meals have some protein — dal, sprouts, seeds
  • Switch your evening snack to makhana, seeds, chana, herbal tea, or any fruit
  • Focus on grounding meals like moong dal, jeera rice, or stir-fried veggies

This isn’t about perfect meals. It’s about foods that help you feel calmer, clearer, healthier, and full of energy!


Healing Diabetes, Thyroid, and PCOS with Food Naturally

These conditions are increasingly common, but they can be avoided and reversed.

Nutritional healing for diabetes management:

  • Choose low glycemic grains like millets and brown rice
  • Eat bitter foods: karela, methi, jamun
  • Use functional hydration: cinnamon-infused water, methi tea
  • Avoid fruit juices as they spike blood sugar instantly

For thyroid & PCOS:

  • Include selenium and zinc-rich foods: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds
  • Switch to iodized salt and iodine-balanced meals
  • Eat smaller, frequent meals if you often feel low energy
  • Avoid gluten, dairy, processed and packaged foods

These are the kinds of personalized food protocols used in our holistic nutritional healing diet plans. No restrictive weight loss diet plan or keto trend can provide this depth of nourishment.


Why You Don’t Need a Diet But a Ritual

Most people jump from one diet trend to another – calorie counting, intermittent fasting, keto plans – looking for quick fixes. But diets often come with rules. Rituals come with long-term sustainability and your body rhythm.

What do we mean by “ritual”?

  • Eating before sunset to support detox and better sleep
  • Sitting down to eat without screens or distractions
  • Having one healing drink daily: methi water, saunf tea, ajwain kadha
  • Observing one light-eating day per week with soups, fruits, or vegetable khichdi

Diets come and go. What remains is how you feel in your body every day. And that’s shaped more by your habits than by a meal plan.


Final Thoughts: Heal One Meal at a Time

You don’t need more restrictions. You need sustainability.

Start small. Stay consistent. 

At Monisha’s Mantra, we don’t hand out one-size-fits-all charts or trendy weight loss programs. We teach you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom –  using real, local, seasonal food as your primary medicine.


Suffering from a Sore Throat? Here’s How to Heal Naturally

Holistic Relief for Sore Throat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all know sore throats can be frustrating. Even when we sip hot water, empty cough syrup bottles, maybe even take antibiotics, that nagging feeling in our throat just doesn’t go away. If you also feel this way, it may be time to look beyond the usual remedies. If you’ve been treating your cough but not getting better, this blog is for you.


What Causes a Sore Throat?

Most people think the reason behind a sore throat is weather conditions or a viral infection. But did you know that it can happen even without infection as well?

Common Reasons for Sore Throat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Why Does It Keep Coming Back?

If your symptoms are recurring, here’s what could be happening behind the scenes:

1. Gut issues

According to Ayurveda and modern research, a weak digestive system can show up as respiratory problems.

2. Suppressed emotions

Have you been holding back tears? Avoiding tough conversations? Your throat chakra (Vishuddha) might be blocked.

3. Weak immunity

Processed foods can lower your body’s natural defense system, making it harder to heal even minor throat issues.

4. Energetic blockages

In Sujok therapy, lung and throat-related energy pathways can get blocked, causing persistent symptoms.


What Are The Remedies for Sore Throat Relief?

Let’s work on root causes, and not just treating symptoms. Here’s how to heal naturally and support your body:

  • Herbal Home Remedies 
    • Mulethi (licorice root) tea: Soothes throat inflammation and calms cough.
    • Ginger + turmeric decoction: Boil with black pepper and add a spoon of honey. 
    • Tulsi + honey mix: Acts as a natural expectorant. Take a teaspoon at bedtime.
  • Breathwork To Calm Your Throat
    • Bhramari Pranayama (Humming Bee Breath): Reduces irritation and anxiety. Try it for 3–5 minutes daily. 
    • Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing): Balances your nervous system and reduces inflammation. 
  • Sujok Therapy 
    • Press the top joint of your thumb (this point links to the throat) <show reel>
    • Use a ring or seed for gentle stimulation
    • Do this 2–3 times a day
  • Emotional Healing & Throat Chakra Balance
    • Journaling prompts that can help you reduce stress:
      • “What truth am I avoiding?”
      • “What is it that I want to say but cannot?”
    • Affirmation: “I speak my truth with love and clarity.”
  • Diet & Lifestyle Tips
    • Stay hydrated – warm water only
    • Eat light and nourishing foods like khichdi, soups, or boiled veggies
    • Don’t eat 2–3 hours before bed (helps prevent acid reflux)
    • Take steam with ajwain or eucalyptus oil

Your BP & Thyroid Are “Under Control” – But Why Are You Still Unwell?

Key Takeaways:

  • Normal test reports can hide silent damage and speed up aging.
  • Inflammation, gut issues, and emotional stress are the real culprits.
  • Daily walking and simple lifestyle habits are your most powerful medicine.

If you’ve ever said, “My BP is under control” or “My thyroid reports are normal” – but still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or low, you’re not alone. It’s a common, dangerous illusion. Normal lab results don’t always mean optimal health. In fact, many chronic conditions quietly worsen beneath the surface.

It’s not wellness. It’s false reassurance.

At Monisha’s Mantra, we help you decode the real story your body is telling, beyond the test results.


Why ‘Normal’ Doesn’t Always Mean Healthy

 

“But my reports are normal.”

That’s the most dangerous illusion.

Blood pressure and thyroid issues are silent disruptors. They damage the body from within long before symptoms show up on paper. You age faster, your skin loses glow, your joints ache, and your metabolism slows down. All this happens while your reports still say “normal.”

  • High BP is the world’s silent killer. It accelerates heart disease, kidney issues, and more, often without warning.
  • Thyroid imbalance, especially hypothyroidism, is often brushed off as a minor problem. But it’s a serious hormonal disorder that speeds up aging, dries out your system, and weakens energy flow. Especially for women during fertility, PMS, or menopause phases, this hidden deterioration becomes even more obvious, but is rarely addressed by conventional medicine.

"Your body might be aging from the inside - even if your lab results say you’re fine."

It’s time to break out of the illusion of ‘control’ and start addressing the root causes.


The Real Cause: Inflammation, Gut Health & Energy Blockage

 

1. Inflammation: The Real Reason You’re Feeling Off

Even with “normal” blood pressure or thyroid levels, inflammation can quietly be breaking down your internal systems, affecting energy, mood, digestion, and your appearance.

Try This:

  • Begin your day with warm water, turmeric, ginger, and lemon.
  • Use anti-inflammatory spices: cumin, coriander, fennel, and cinnamon.
  • Walk twice daily – morning & post-dinner (non-negotiable).

Inflammation affects collagen, elasticity, and energy flow. Reducing it is your first anti-aging move.

Get Your Anti-Inflammatory Starter Kit Now

 

2. Thyroid Fatigue Is Real – Even With Medication

Even after your TSH levels normalize, you can still feel fatigue, anxiety, and mood dips. That’s because the underlying stress and energy imbalance aren’t resolved by medicines alone.

Try This:

  • Add Tulsi (holy basil) to your daily routine.
  • Follow a fixed sleep-wake cycle. 
  • Breathe deeply or sit in silence for 10 minutes each day.

Yes, walk. Movement triggers natural hormone regulation.

Boost Your Energy – Book a Consult

 

3. Fix the Gut First

Start with the basics – bowel regularity and digestion.

Try This:

  • Cut white carbs and sugar.
  • Begin intermittent fasting (start with 12 hours, gradually build to 16).

Post-meal walks support digestion and reduce bloating

Reset Your Gut Health – Start Now

 

4. Emotional Health is equally important

Every chronic issue has an emotional story behind it. When unprocessed stress builds up, it shows in your body that no test can measure.

Daily Habits You Can Incorporate:

  • Journal: What’s weighing on your mind?
  • Practice mindfulness – even 5 minutes a day matters.
  • Do something you love

Again, a walk in fresh air is free therapy.

Emotional Healing Starts Here – Talk to Us

 


Reverse Aging with Daily Lifestyle, Not Expensive Treatments

Skin, hair, joints, and metabolism all respond to daily, consistent action – not supplements or creams.

Start Here:

  • Morning ritual: warm water + honey + lemon
  • Detox spices: cinnamon, cumin, coriander
  • Sleep on time, breathe deeply, and walk every single day
  • Start a 12-hour fast (like 8 PM to 8 AM) to give your gut a break

 


Let Go of the Illusion. Your Body Is Speaking.. Are You Listening?

At Monisha’s Mantra, we help you break free from the trap of “normal” lab reports. Your fatigue, weight gain, skin issues, joint pain, and brain fog are not in your head—they are signs of deeper imbalances.

And they can be reversed.
With small shifts. With awareness. With holistic healing.

3 Ways Chakras Affect Workplace Productivity

3 Ways Chakras Affect Workplace Productivity

Key Takeaways:

  • Balanced chakras = More focus, clarity, and reliance at work.
  • Imbalance in chakras can lead to burnout, communication issues, creative blocks, and low motivation at work.
  • Easy daily practices like breathwork, meditation, or chakra-based rituals can help you recharge and enhance performance without disrupting your workflow.

In today’s hustle-driven culture, productivity is framed as a battle of wills. But what if the key to unlocking your best self isn’t necessarily time management or better to-do lists, but your energy?

Chakras, the centers of energy within your body, are a powerful determinant of what you think, feel, and get done. With these energy channels in harmony, you are not just less stressed and burned out, you’re also less distracted and better focused.

How being chakra-balanced helps you work more effectively, yet less intensely.

1. Energy Alignment = Improved Focus

Diagram-of-chakras-with-brain-regions-or-productivity-traits
  • All the chakras are accountable for some physical and emotional functions. If they are not aligned, they present themselves as mental confusion, emotional burnout, or the inability to concentrate.
  • The Third Eye Chakra enables clearness, intuition, and quick decision-making – important traits for strategic thinking.
  • A blocked Solar Plexus Chakra will create self-doubt and a lack of motivation.
  • Root Chakra, when balanced, makes you grounded and increases inner calm, important for managing stress at work.

By aligning your chakras through morning breathwork, affirmations, or body scans, you’re syncing your inner energy with your business goals. The reward? Laser-like focus and fewer reactive stress reactions.

2. Chakra Balance Reduces Burnout and Stress

Burnout is not fatigue, it’s an energetic exhaustion warning sign.

When your Heart Chakra is blocked, it can be hard to connect with your co-workers and you may often feel drained from office interactions. When your Throat Chakra is blocked, it can be hard to express opinions in meetings or set healthy boundaries, and you may feel frustrated.

Including chakra-based healing in your daily routine like morning meditations, sound healing, or even wearing color-coded clothing (yes, really!) can get your system back into balance.

Ultimately, this decreases chronic stress, anxiety, and reactivity, and gives you more room to breathe, think, and thrive.

3. Boosting Creativity and Resilience through Energy Work

energy--creativity--resilience

Creative block? Emotional overload? Low energy?

Too often, however, it’s the Sacral Chakra (which controls creativity and emotional expression) that requires a little attention. Activating this chakra with mindful movement (such as yoga or Qi Gong Sway), writing, or indulging in art can spark the creative force within and increase your bounce-back powers.

Likewise, an aligned Crown Chakra positions you firmly in a vision for the grand view – something every leader and team member can use in today’s hectic tempo of work life.

By making energy your top priority, you’re not merely avoiding burnout, you’re unlocking your mental sharpness, emotional equilibrium, and ability to produce.

Simple Ways to Start Chakra Alignment at Work

  • Begin the day with a 5-minute chakra meditation.
  • Use focus music or chakra sound frequencies while working.
  • Keep a visual chart of the chakras or wear clothing in the color that represents an active energy center.
  • Use grounding techniques like walking barefoot outdoors, or using essential oils.
  • Take mindful breaks, listen to your body and breath.

Conclusion

Your energy speaks before you do. When your chakras are balanced, your work is more satisfying, your interactions more authentic, and your work more alive.

You don’t need to adopt a radical lifestyle change, just a few conscious minutes each day to tune in, rebalance, and reboot.

    Sujok Therapy: Korean Science That Heals Through Your Hands and Feet

    Sujok Therapy: Korean Science That Heals Through Your Hands and Feet

    Key Takeaways

    1. Sujok Therapy is a Korean healing therapy that uses hand and foot points to activate the body’s natural healing ability – without medicines or side effects.
    2. From the perspective of alternative therapies, Sujok offers effective drug-free methods for treatment and prevention of chronic pain, lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension, heart and kidney disorders, hormonal imbalances like thyroid disorders and reproductive problems like PCOD, endometroism, infertility, autoimmune diseases, skin disorders, emotional and mental issues, stress and anxiety, respiratory issues, etc.
    3. Each tool in Sujok (seeds, magnets, color, moxa) has a scientific reasoning and is effective at rebalancing one’s physical, emotional and energetic systems.
    4. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Monisha Rawat offers therapy and certified courses that empower individuals to take charge of their own healing.

    The Global Rise of Korean Healing: Why Sujok Is Gaining Ground

    Subtly and simultaneously significantly, Korean Culture has influenced the global wellness space – whether it’s skincare rituals, fermented foods, or energy-based therapies. Not only has the world embraced Korean culture for its aesthetic appeal, but also for its long term health solutions.

    One such tradition is Sujok Therapy – a simple healing system rooted in ancient knowledge  and modern science. Developed by Professor Park Jae Woo in South Korea, Sujok Therapy offers an empowering way to heal, not with medication, but with your own body’s energy.

    Currently, as people are feeling more burnt out, overmedicated, and disconnected from their bodies, Sujok offers to restore balance. It is not only effective, but 100% safe. Since it works only through stimulating the body’s natural forces, Sujok is one of the safest therapies known.

    What Is Sujok Therapy?

    The word “Sujok” comes from two Korean words – “Su” meaning hand, and “Jok” meaning foot. The idea of Sujok is that our entire body is represented as our micro map in our hands and feet. Every organ, joint, system, and even our emotional and energetic states can be accessed through these points.

    Sujok Therapy

    By stimulating specific Sujok points, we send precise healing signals to corresponding body parts. It’s a method that’s powerful enough to relieve chronic illness, yet simple enough for anyone to learn.

    Unlike medicine, which often treats isolated symptoms, Sujok helps restore the entire internal balance – physically, emotionally, and energetically – and acts as an alternative to conventional medicines.

    Curious if Sujok can help you or your loved ones?
    Reach out to explore personalised Sujok Therapy at Monisha’s Mantra.

    Share your details below and our team will reach out to you soon!

    Tools Used in Sujok Therapy (And the Science Behind Them)

    tools used in sujok therapy

    Sujok therapy uses a combination of tools and techniques. Each tool has a physiological and energetic effect on the body, rooted in neuroscience, microsystem theory, and energy medicine.

    1. Seed Therapy

    Common kitchen seeds (like fenugreek, peas, or black pepper) are placed on the Sujok points of the hand or foot.

    Why it works: Seeds carry biological energy, and when taped to pressure points, they stimulate circulation and signal healing through nerve pathways. They also create gentle, sustained pressure that triggers natural repair mechanisms.

    2. Magnet Therapy

    Small, polarized magnets are placed to balance “excess” and “deficient” energies in the body.

    Scientific basis: Magnets influence blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and cellular ion exchange, helping restore equilibrium in overactive or underperforming organs.

    3. Color Therapy

    Colors are applied to meridian or chakra points using sketch pens or stickers.

    Why it works: Different colors are associated with different energy frequencies. Red, for instance, increases strength and blue soothes the nervous system. When used on accurate energy systems, colors can balance physiological processes.

    4. Moxa Therapy

    Also known as heat therapy, dried herbs (usually mugwort) are used to gently warm the Sujok points.

    Scientific explanation: Heat increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates metabolic activity at a cellular level.

    5. Acupressure and Micro-Needling

    Manual pressure or micro-needles are used to stimulate deeply blocked energy channels, especially in chronic conditions.

    This is where Sujok overlaps with acupuncture, showing visible results in pain management, hormone regulation, and emotional clarity.

    Benefits of Sujok Therapy: More Than Just Pain Relief

    Sujok therapy offers holistic healing as it eases, soothes and even balances energy. Addressing blockages at the core of the issue, be it physical, emotional or energetic.

    Sujok therapy uses a combination of tools and techniques. Each tool has a physiological and energetic effect on the body, rooted in neuroscience, microsystem theory, and energy medicine.

    1. Physical Healing

    Sujok is highly effective in managing and reversing:

    • Chronic pain (knees, back, shoulder, neck)
    • Migraines and headaches
    • PCOD, thyroid, and hormonal irregularities
    • Digestive disorders like acidity, bloating, and constipation
    • Sleep disturbances and low immunity
    • Joint stiffness and muscle fatigue
    2. Respiratory Relief – Sujok for Cough

    SuJok’s impact on respiratory health is significant. By stimulating the lung-related points on the thumb and palm, it enhances airflow, clears mucus, and strengthens lung function.

    It is helpful for:

    • Dry, allergic coughs
    • Post-viral respiratory weakness
    • Sinus congestion
    • Breathlessness and wheezing

    Many individuals experience faster recovery and less dependency on medication simply through daily stimulation of Sujok points for cough.

    3. Mental Wellness & Emotional Balance

    The body holds emotion, and Sujok unlocks it. When emotional stress is trapped in specific organs (for example, grief in the lungs or anxiety in the stomach), it manifests as physical symptoms.

    Sujok helps in:

    • Reducing anxiety and panic attacks
    • Lifting emotional heaviness and low moods
    • Improving focus, energy, and motivation
    • Balancing chakras for emotional regulation

    When combined with chakra healing, Sujok becomes a complete inner-reset tool, calming the mind while energizing the body.

    Prevention is the Best Medicine

    While Sujok Therapy is incredibly effective as a treatment, its power as a preventive tool is often underestimated.

    By regularly stimulating Sujok points and maintaining energetic hygiene, you can:

    • Prevent diseases from taking root
    • Improve body awareness
    • Strengthen natural immunity
    • Maintain emotional equilibrium
    • Stay connected with your body’s needs

    This makes Sujok not just a response to illness, but a way of life that fosters long-term health.

Stress, anxiety, and the demands of modern living can take a toll on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. However, there is an ancient Indian healing practice that offers a path to inner peace, vitality and good health: chakra healing.

    For the past 2 decades, at Monisha Mantra we have been helping individuals reverse their chronic health conditions without medicine, based on the chakra balancing science. In this blog post, we’ll explore the fundamentals of chakra healing and its benefits.

    What are Chakras?

    Chakras are energy centres located throughout the body. In Sanskrit chakra means a wheel. The earliest record of chakras is mentioned in the ancient Indian texts, the Vedas written sometime between 1,500 and 500 B.C. Chakras are believed to exist in the astral or subtle body and not on the physical body. They are interconnected with our physical, mental, and emotional health. There are 114 chakras but there are 7 main chakras that start from the base of spine and extend up to the crown of our head. When these chakras are out of balance or blocked, it can manifest as various ailments and imbalances and lead to serious chronic health issues like diabetes, heart disease, hormonal disorders and autoimmune disorders.

    Hypertension – The Silent Killer

    Hypertension – The Silent Killer

    Hypertension is the global health issue contributing to the burden of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and disability. It is a major cause of premature death worldwide. It affects an estimated 1.3 billion adults (30-79 years) globally resulting in 10 million deaths every year. Hypertension is known as the silent killer due to no outward signs or symptoms. An estimated 46% of adults are unaware that they have hypertension.

    What is hypertension (high blood pressure)?

    Blood pressure is defined as the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries (blood vessels) as the heart pumps blood to the whole body. High blood pressure – also known as hypertension – is a disease in which blood flows through blood vessels (arteries) at a higher-than- normal pressure.

    Blood pressure is the result of 2 forces:

    • Systolic pressure is due to the heart pumping blood into the arteries
    • Diastolic pressure is created when the heart rests between beats

    These 2 forces are represented by numbers. The top number is systolic pressure and bottom number is diastolic pressure. The WHO-ISH guidelines classify optimal blood pressure as less than 120/80 mmHg, and normal blood pressure as less than 130/85 mmHg. When blood pressure constantly stays above 140/90, it is the hypertension condition.

    Symptoms of hypertension

    Most people with hypertension don’t feel any symptoms unless the blood pressure is high.

    • Heaviness in head or chest
    • Dizziness
    • Headaches
    • Blurred vision
    • Chest pain
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Confusion
    • Abnormal heart beat

    Causes of hypertension

    • Sedentary lifestyle
    • Unhealthy eating habits
    • Irregular sleeping pattern
    • Smoking
    • Drinking excess alcohol
    • Being overweight
    • Excess sodium in diet
    • High anxiety and stress
    • Health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease
    • Age

    Serious complications of hypertension

    • Heart disease – over a period of time hypertension can lead to heart disease and consequently heart failure
    • Heart attack – hypertension hardens the arteries which can become blocked and prevent blood flow to heart muscle. This condition can cause heart attack
    • Atherosclerosis is buildup of plaque in the arteries
    • Stroke
    • Kidney disease – hypertension can damage the blood vessels of the kidneys leading to kidney failure
    • Vision loss
    • Dementia – some forms of dementia may be related to a lack of blood flow to brain due to blocked and hardened arteries
    • Sexual dysfunction – hypertension can lead to erectile dysfunction in men and lower sex drive in women

    Monisha’s Mantra has been helping many people reverse their hypertension condition. Based on our many years of research and experience, we have formulated the below proven formula.

    Monisha’s Mantra formula

    • Increase physical activity and regular morning brisk walks
    • Maintain healthy weight
    • Daily practice of ‘Smile meditation’ to reduce anxiety and stress
    • Maintain disciplined sleeping pattern

    • Reduce intake of alcohol
    • Quit smoking

    • Sujok therapy (drugless Korean therapy):

      2. Nail therapy – rub all 20 nails with olive oil or ghee for 20 minutes before sleeping
