In this episode, Chandresh shares how anger is not the real problem. The problem comes when we are not ready to understand the root of anger and heal the unconscious patterns that elevate it.

This is one of the reas...

In the age of social media, we have become so judgemental. We are constantly giving advice to people without really implementing or understanding the application and affect in our life.

It has become normal for someone t...
