My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Q & A with Sonya



What is life? Why am I here? Do I have some purpose?

These are the questions we often ask ourselves either when we have achieved all our material desires or when we have failed in some big way. Or we could be in the prime of our time or might have seen many decades of our lives.

Whatever might be the cause or whatever might be the time for asking these questions; each one of us sooner or later would want to find out the answers to these questions.

There was uneasiness in me for the last few days, I felt very heavy in the head, in my cervical and was quite lethargic. At first I related all this to the current situation of work at home and exhaustion caused by it. Yet it seemed incomplete, that something was missing in the puzzle.

I was looking at everyone and everything to find out the possible cause of my physical and mental discomfort.

With all the above going in my reality, a subtle sensation crossed my mind and I decided to keep a free healing session at home for my domestic helpers twice or thrice in a month. It was a simple intention I made.

Today the lady who comes to help us for the house work came to my mom and asked for some medical advice. Then she hesitantly informed us, she is not feeling well and has severe pain and discomfort in her entire body, especially her cervical.

I did the healing session with her and during the session I suddenly started to feel better. I felt as if my lethargy, my heaviness in the head and cervical was gradually leaving me.

In that very moment it hit me by the speed of lightening that, I was not healing her but I was actually healing myself. After our session she was relaxed, and peaceful and  showered me with tons of blessings.

And then, I realized that whatever we do to others, we do it to ourselves; because we all are one.

All the different parts of the puzzle started to come closer and I saw a clear picture and some possible explanation to our first three questions.

What is life?

Answer: Life is love, peace, joy, health & prosperity.

Why am I here?

Answer: To Eat, Pray, Love & be very Grateful for what you have now.

Do I have some purpose?

Answer: Our purpose is to heal, to become a source of peace & joy for ourselves and to everyone around us.

Healing is not limited to a medical check up or a reiki session. Healing goes beyond this, it means to make things better than they were, to restore, to repair anything or anyone to their natural healthy state of being.

If you are working in the HR department of a company then you are becoming a channel for placing right people in the right place and for taking care of other employees. If you are a lawyer then you are helping your client to come out of the messy state he/she is in.

So in any role that you are fulfilling in this world whether of a partner, a parent, employee or employer this is all that there is.

Having said that, we need to be absolutely clear on the fact that one should never extend healing to another without their wish because we all have our own ways to survive and thrive in this world. Therefore, if the healing we are offering to someone is in conflict with their surviving mechanism it will be rejected and if it is supporting that particular mechanism it shall be accepted.    

People travel to and live for decades in Himalayas, monasteries and ashrams to find answers to these allegedly intricate questions, and look how easily I recognized the answers right here in my home without any travelling.

The reason being that all the answers which we look for on the outside are interestingly already present within us, in this moment right now.

All that I wrote here is my version of those questions, you might have your own answers and version of this story. And this is the actual journey where we all find our own answers.

Cheers to all the questions & answers you find.

My love to all.

Sonya Syed. (Day 471)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...

3 January 2019

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...
