Our closest relationships often test us the most. There is no denying that the emotion of love complicates our lives by bringing along with it difficult sentiments such as jealousy, desire, possessiveness, unreasonable expectations, and worst of all, a tendency to take the other person for granted. It is no wonder then that extenuating circumstances such as being stuck indoors with our closest ones throughout the pandemic have wreaked havoc on relationships. However, if one sets the intention to make the relationship work, it is possible to turn over a new leaf.
Tiesta Duggal — Life Coach, Energy Healer and Founder of Navyam, The Mind and Soul Abode — has healed several fraught relationships. Over the last year and a half particularly, she has been consulted by numerous clients fighting with their close ones. “I was always intrigued by the process of healing and felt there must be something that we could do in our lives that would get rid of all the stress and fear we carry with us. In 2016, I decided to pursue healing professionally. I was keen to research and find out more about the world of healing, and how it is connected to the science of quantum physics. Since then each day has been a new journey of exploring and enjoying the work that I do thoroughly,” shares Duggal candidly.
With a dedicated healing practice that includes modalities such as energy healing, Reiki, access bars, hypnotherapy, angel card reading, angel healing therapy, life coaching and body psychotherapy — she has a wide range to offer her clients, who readily return time and again.
When asked specifically about the healing of relationships, Duggal says, “our relationships are a reflection of our inner thoughts. When we work towards growing spiritually and healing the aspects of ourselves that have not worked for us till now, we can make a beautiful impact on our external world as well. This also holds true for our relationships. Additionally, spiritual healing helps us to heal any discord or pain that we carry in our relationships, and make us better equipped to manage and deal with our problems.”
Every relationship has its challenges and needs to be addressed in a specific manner. The stress we carry from our daily lives, often has a significant impact on our relationships as well, leading to issues like insecurity, lack of communication, breakdown of trust, severe anxiety around relationships, to name just a few. Hence, it is important to adopt a dynamic approach to tackle unique relationship problems. Identifying core issues is necessary to explore the foundations that have caused people to behave in a certain manner. Then, these core problems need to be healed. According to Duggal, apart from counselling, coaching and energy healing, various other healing remedies can also be practised such as the use of affirmations, switch-words, and clearing statements to create the desired shift in perspective and situation.
“Energy healing equips a person to manage the situation they are in while releasing the baggage of the past and the pain they carry. While there is no guarantee of tangible and immediate results, often one can feel tremendous changes in their lives. Also, a change in focus also gives people the ability to create and manifest more by continuing to work on themselves and growing each day,” she says.
Some relationships are past the point where they can be healed in a manner of the person’s choice, yet the process of healing is geared towards bringing out the best possible solution for one’s problem — even if at first, it does not seem the ideal solution. Duggal shares, “if one feels that their relationship is beyond the scope of healing and there is nothing one can do, the best way is to surrender and leave it to the universe for it to work towards our highest best, and let the course of the universe and time decide. During this process, they can work on healing their own selves and the pain that they carry within.”
