Raageshwari on Spiritual Healing Techniques
- 12 years ago
Singer Raageshwari Loomba is all for the DNA I Can Women’s Half Marathon for which she is planning to run the entire five km course.
“The causes that the half marathon espouses — education of the girl child, safety of women and cervical cancer — deal directly with empowerment of women. When you empower a woman, by a ripple effect, you empower an entire household — the children as well as the man of the house. On the other hand when a woman is unfulfilled and unhappy, then the balance of the planet shifts radically towards unhappiness,” she says.
“Women are born nurturers. The gifts that the world celebrates — great education, great safety and great health — should be available to them freely. Sadly that isn’t the case, especially in the rural areas of our country,” rues the songstress whose spiritual inclinations lead her to believe that what this planet needs most is healing.
“Girls in many areas of our country need healing from the trauma of living a life where people have a caustic approach to them and their rights as human beings. They need healing from disease as in the case of cervical cancer and they need healing from the trauma of being teased, or worse still attacked by either their own family members, or outsiders. For many of them, living is akin to being in a war zone where they’re discriminated on the basis of their gender, or by other issues such as lack of education, lack of money or physical helplessness,” she says.
Raageshwari believes that love among people is what will change the day. “I’m sorry to observe that Mumbai has become immune to people’s problems and people are shutting down on others’ sufferings. We need to take the lid off our hard exterior and tune into our warm, beautiful selves, into our connectedness where we are all part of one world. Instead of so many divisions at every step what we need is something that unites our hearts in a shared humanity. And feeling love and compassion in our hearts for others can change the world around us,” adds the singer, who’s training for the marathon with her trainer Shiraz.
