What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is named “Divinity in Consciousness: Spirituality in Relationships”.Modern dating today is at an inflection point.The well-educated , ambitious ,alpha woman is looking for her mythic half but has been unable to find him.Most men she meets are unable to quench her insatiable thirst for both deep emotional intimacy and loving protection that she seeks despite her supposedly impenetrable armour.
Quality men, on the other hand, are at their wits end as to why their partner is perpetually dissatisfied with them even though they give the relationship all they have.
This lack of consonance between what is sought and offered threw open a channel to bridge the gap , out of which emerged my book.
The book inspires women to step into their power and have firm boundaries and high standards which will help weed out men who don’t quite live upto their expectations and exhorts men to develop balanced masculinity as they get in touch with their feminine side as well .
Balanced masculinity entails leading with integrity, speaking one’s truth , creating a safe space for emotional expression and holding space for partner’s feelings.
All of the above can only be achieved when a man or a woman is conscious and self -aware of their inherent needs, past emotional wounds and triggers.Spirituality serves as a powerful and potent tool for the same .
