Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Chaittali:
We are aware of your contributions to the ecosystem; talk us through your background and your journey, please;
My professional journey started off as a mental health counsellor in 2019, always having this urge to understand the human brain better.
Thereafter my interest in occult science grew and I started learning about tarot card reading, aura reading, face reading, candle magic spells and reiki healing (different modalities in healing)
How did you discover your passion?
Having 2 children aged 7 and 11 back then, I was intrigued to know what went behind their minds and how could I help them cope and heal in different situations.
Also, during covid, there were so many people I came across with different mental health issues which made me learn spirituality deeper so I could find answers for myself and help others too.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives you?
Empowering and challenging the myths, stereotypes about the wellness journey to have self-awareness and courage to do their own therapy to live a life of respect, dignity and treat others with the same ethical principles is my drive to work in this field.
I believe we all are on earth for only a little while so let’s make it a kind place to be in for everyone by helping and empowering each one.
Who do you believe has been the biggest source of motivation in your daily life?
Life itself has been the biggest motivation for me. Having said that my children Naysha, Dhveer and Oreo help me go with my day-to-day activities, they are my strength and joy both.
What are some of the strategies that you believe have helped you grow as a person?
There are a few:
> Being mindful
> Always being resourceful
> Taking extreme ownership and responsibility for my actions Courage
> Ability to take risks & venture into uncharted territories.
> Never give up attitude, even when I didn’t see any other option but to give up.
In your opinion what are the keys to success?
I will say it straight that there are many factors but if you really have to have the key elements then to me these are the ones:
– Accepting & Loving myself.
– Responsibility for my actions
– Standing up for myself
– Gratitude
– Lifting each other up
– Curiosity
– Positive Attitude
– All your dreams can manifest into reality with consistency and belief
Last but not least, what about your journey makes it satisfying/exciting?
Getting great feedback from those who have been inspired through my sessions amps up my energy to deliver more value to them.
Seeing shifts in them and in their journey makes it satisfying because I see their success as my success and their breakthroughs as mine.
One thing I’ve learned through my journey is, it’s only YOU who is going to be there for yourself so be the best version of YOU.
It is less about the recognition and more because it serves as a reminder from the Universe that I am on the right path.
