The Experience of Healing Through Integral Yoga

In my spiritual search, I encountered few people with as much clarity as Dr. Monica Gulati, she is a simple person in her language, but very studied and very talented at teaching and simply explaining things.

She has the gift to speak to the most intelligent as well as to the most ignorant. She approaches people from the heart, leaving aside ego reasons.

She is a very devoted student of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, she lives in India and lived for several years in the ashram founded by Sri Aurobindo, "Auroville" which is located in the south of India, 15 kilometers from Pondicherry.

Monica had to face the disease of cancer a few years ago which completely transformed her professional and spiritual life.

Since then she changed her path to dedicate herself completely to teaching classes and healing therapies through the questioning of the Self.

At the moment she is the founder of Living Light together with Taru Nagpal.

Both have been able to collaborate and help improve integrated health services with a system of teaching, active listening, and meditation. They combine integral Yoga and other teachings such as Buddhism.

Dr. Gulati helps people to work with attention, to be able to focus the mind and thus tame what they call "the monkey mind", which jumps from one place to another, from one subject to another, without having a way to concentrate or focus on one thing at a time. It seems that "monkey mind" is a circumstance that is very fashionable nowadays and the current generations jump from one video to another, from one subject to another without focusing their energy on anything else but watching different subjects to fill the space of emptiness. The continuous distraction will cause the body to become exhausted and it will not have the strength to remember its soul and the Divine. Thus leaving bodies walking like zombies from home to work and doing everything mechanically.

The consequence of these attitudes will create a collectivity without memory that will have to repeat something several times until it finds attention.

Thus, Dr. Gulati guides us in the conversation towards a process of exercises that will help us to find day by day a moment of concentration and encounter with the Divine. At the same time, Taru Nagpal talks about how to let go of attachments that do not help us in our spiritual work.

Entering her classes, listening to them, and feeling heard by them is a beautiful process of knowing the Self and approaching new ways of working with human spirituality. If you have some time in the mornings or at some point in your day, I recommend that you look for their videos with classes or watch the interviews we did in Alasart.

Here is the link to the list of videos that were recorded in English and at some point, we will transcribe and translate them for you.

Among the things they offer are readings of the prayers of the Mother, reading of Savitri, and reading of the book of Healing through Integral Yoga, they also offer chanting and meditations.

All their circles are of voluntary cooperation and they usually explain quite a lot about the concepts of Integral Yoga. All their services, for now, are in English and Hindi, but we hope that someday they will be able to provide things in other languages.

We have talked with Monica about her spiritual work and the way to overcome certain barriers and obstacles of the mind in our daily lives. She also talks about the importance of the will and submitting it to the divine to help us develop the Self and the soul to a higher level.

Below is the link to see the entire list of videos recorded with them so far.
