THE KINTSUGI MOMS-A COMPENDIUM OF INVALUABLE INSIGHTS TO RADICALLY HEAL ONESELF AT ALL LEVELS.
The ‘Kintsugi Moms’ marks the foray of an experienced holistic healing practitioner into the world of non-fiction writing. Whilst recounting incredible stories from her case files of single mothers who overcame seemingly insurmountable hurdles,Dr.Haseena Chokkiyil has curated an anthology brimming with hope and optimism.
The book is clearly divided into two sections for easy reference.In the first part, the author in her lucid and relatable writing style, takes us through the emotional, mental, physical, sexual, and spiritual challenges her clients had to face and the ways they emerged radically healed,more resilient and beautiful than their previous selves, by adapting the holistic healing tools advocated by her.
The second part of the book is the elaboration and summary of all the methods mentioned in the previous section. The life changing techniques which are profoundly simple and effective are so skilfully put together through the experiences of real life protagonists, giving readers the much-needed information about the concepts of health, disease, and metaphysics. They can be easily implemented by everyone,not necessarily single mothers,to extricate themselves from any health challenge, be it psychological, physical, or psychosomatic. Being a single mother herself who conquered Addison’s disease and an early stage of cancer with the same tools ,Dr.Haseena truly leads by example.She drew much inspiration from Ms.Sushmita Sen, during her battle with Addison’s,and perhaps this coincidence in their healing journeys prompted the incredible former Miss.Universe and pride of India to endorse the book.
All in all, the Kintsugi Moms is a compendium of invaluable knowledge and insights for anyone in search of healing at any level of existence. The message at the heart of the book is clear,that with a little nudge and guidance in the right direction,no circumstance in life is insurmountable.
