What People Think About Our Work

Life Work
An amazing experience of my getting to know myself!!! Literally reclaiming my inner potential thru an interaction with my inner-self. An experience of identifying some hidden dark corners of emotions and subconscious experiences n feelings. The session helped me to identify, interact, unearth, introspect, appease and leverage some of my inner strengths. Made me a happier person showering unconditional love and compassion. Yoshita and Ashwini are the real gurus, who not only created the environment of guided meditation, program facilitation but became a part of my emotional structure and confidantes. Someone that I can reach out to get my inner peace n solace. Thank you Yoshita and Ashwini, you folks are exceptionally n absolutely awesome!!!" - Hanumant, Ex CEO of a Globally Leading and Large Multinational "You must take advantage. It is an awesome program with great outcomes and realizations and breakthroughs!!!" - Malvieka, Head HR India, Leading and Large MNC "I admit I signed up for the program with some scepticism, believing that only I could solve my own problems. And that in fact is also what I learnt in this workshop but from an entirely different point-of-view. I learnt that I am perhaps the only one standing in my own path to happiness. Connecting with the inner child was a very powerful experience for me. I realized that I had completely neglected my inner-self my entire adult life, consistently buried its voice and denied its very existence. Reclaiming and embracing that inner self freed my thinking on many levels, thus positively impacting my relationship with myself and also with my family. Suddenly there seemed to be a lot of clarity on issues that were unresolved. And this process continued long after the workshop was over. It was really amazing. Following the workshop I am taking care of myself better. I am also really listening -- deeply listening -- to what my son is trying to communicate with me. I continue to evaluate my relationships with my spouse, my parents and siblings with empathy and gain new insights every single day. Please attend this workshop, I promise you won't regret it. In fact you will be very surprised with what you end up learning about yourself and the world around you! Thanks Ashwini and Yoshita for this fantastic experience! I am looking forward to signing up for the next inner adventure with you!" - Shilpa, Film Maker and a Mother "It was a truly beautiful experience one that only the one who goes through it can understand. Yoshita and Ashwini are remarkable people who are doing a very nobel work of helping heal souls. I would strongly recommend this workshop to everyone as we all have some part of us, big or small which we need to heal to move forward. Thank you both so much." - Malvika, in a Global HR HOD role in an MNC "This is not "a workshop". For me personally this has been an initiation of a journey. Yoshita and Ashwini have not just helped table things for me about self which I never knew existed, they have helped/guide/direct/visualize/channelize my true capability/potential ... My reactions & my responses have ever since improved. I can see & feel my relationships getting better. My gratitude to the 2 of you cannot be explained in words, you have helped me truly embark on a journey of transformation. Thank you Yoshita and Ashwini for connecting me with a group of strangers who have now turned into my support system." - Vinod, Senior Corporate Professional in a Globally Leading Multinational I did have a life.....looked so perfect and fabulous and so many ways it was, but it didn't bring me the satisfaction. It didn't fill that empty part in me. My life changed dramatically after I did this session with "Abrighterlife.in" i.e. Ashwini &Yoshita. They draw me closer to ME and kaboom not only me, everyone noticed the change. I am healed from head to toe. Looking forward to do many more sessions with them but they have already handed me the key for my treasure (happiness) Who am I to recommend them, just do the class and after that i know you all are going to bless us. Big hug to Ashwini and Yoshita - Geeta, Homemaker, USA It's a true life changing experience. I believe in what you both do for strangers and make these strangers friends for life. A support system created so strong and beautiful. A session I feel everyone needs. Everyone! - Reeja, Senior Corporate Professional in a Large Multinational "I have so much to say that words defy me and when I am hearing my own thoughts now I'm amazed! 1. I'm amazed to understand my own anger and how it was never for or at people I have always expressed it at.. 2. I understood how I never felt respected or appreciated. As I always repelled those feelings till date and hence lived in my own perception of myself in others eyes. 3. I am amazed to be able to see how I always felt unwanted and unworthy in my husbands eyes and how suddenly I realised I don't really know how he makes me feel as I never gave him that chance. No matter what he did I felt the same feeling - unwanted! And now like a sponge I'm free to absorb all emotions and energies I will receive from him. It was only me who made myself feel so unwanted and therefore that is all others could make me feel. Its amazing to realise this! 4. How and why I was repulsive of anyone making fun of anyone. Repulsive to the extent of getting offended for smallest of jokes directed at anyone and take the responsibility of 'correcting' the world n getting into conflicts!! My husband in return stopped speaking to me freely... years ago! 5. How n why I repeatedly felt life is not worth it. The pain is not worth it. I fought with this feeling harder and harder n it would go away only to come back every few days n attack me!! It was deep rooted within me.. 6. There always was a coating of fear in everything I did. Every decision I made. I thought I never felt scared but still I never felt free. I realised through this workshop that all the time there was this fear in me. In reality, earlier I never felt carefree at all....but now suddenly I feel a big load has fallen off my back...I feel free and wanted for the first time !! Yoshita and Ashwini, for the gratitude I feel for you today, a thousand thankyous won't do any justice. I feel my heart getting complete. I feel the pendulum that I have been has come to rest. I feel I'm healing. 'Healed' is a big word I know.. but that's exactly how I feel." - S.B, a Corporate professional, a mother and a home maker “I have preached my sales team members about having physical, emotional and mental energy to succeed in sales and in life. But how do I channelize all 3 together and use the same correctly? My energy got channelized after I attended Ashwini & Yoshita’s Workshop. Those two days of meditation/introspection are among the best days of my journey so far. It was a transformation, words fail to describe the feelings, emotions and happiness that I experienced. I felt wonderful about myself, about other, about God’s creation. The workshop imbibes so much of positive energy into you that you feel radiant from inside. Knowing yourself inside out strengthens your core and brightens your personality.” - Pankaj, Group Head, in a Leading Real Estate Company Participating in the Workshop was a truly transformational experience. Kudos to Ashwini and Yoshita for doing such meaningful work. It is unimaginably powerful and could be really Life Altering. Personally, I have found great reserves of strength & courage through the workshop & my self-worth has increased manifold. I have been sleeping much better, am at peace with myself and have found a new meaning to my life. It has been a great beginning to my journey of self -discovery. I highly recommend this workshop to One and All.” - Astha, Corporate Professional in a Fortune 500. "Only after attending the workshop with Yoshita and Ashwini, did I see my truth…Not only it has made me at peace with myself but enabled me to break the patterns and be a much better Mom to my daughter. I had built walls all around me and felt the false security.. The isolation only added to my loneliness, frustration and lack of interest at work. The walls have crumbled and the heart has opened. Ready to love and live for the first time ever. By going through this workshop and by deeply understanding my self within really transformed and opened my blocks, which had been there for years. Many Many Many thanks Yoshita and Ashwini. You are my Gurus in this new life..” - Shikha, Corporate Professional "Ever since I began my journey with the Inner child workshop a few days ago with a lot of skepticism, my life is slowly but surely changing for the better. Both of you have a very calming and positive aura and especially with Yoshita I felt a deep connect. The workshop itself was very healing and informative in its nature and beside a host of new friends I really found my best friend... The girl inside of me. In the days following I have been able to learn more and more about myself and most importantly have begun to feel joy after a very long time. I know this will be a continuous journey and I look forward to being a better me. I'm so glad I connected with you both . Thank you so much for this experience. I was never sure I would find peace! With love and regards" - Sonali, HomeMaker and Mother “Your approach in particular enables a self connect and an independence from within. Also one very significant thing I want to say is that it has a spiritual feel attached to it. There is a deeper understanding of self, people and circumstances. That is where it brings a significant change in really transforming our life. I really wish you bloom and reach out. There are so many people in pain and confusion, I wish you could help them. Please continue being on the same path.” - Rekha, Homemaker & Mother "Thanks Yoshita and Ashwini for these two days which were truly amazing!! We all get so caught up in our so called "roles and responsibilities " that we shut are true inner self , our inner child completely. We play all the parts beautifully in our life just forget that we have one and only one of our own to live !! Please continue this beautiful work... Much needed for all!! - Konika, Senior Professional in an MNC Disha had been seeing a counsellor for some time before she came to us. She subsequently signed up for one on one sessions as she set out on a journey to create the life of her choice. Here's what she had to say about the Inner-Child Work - “With the counsellor it's a more unstructured talking of whatever u want to say or whatever has happened. It was a temporary feel good factor and it helped me know I'm not wrong. But with that work, I needed to go back every time something happened to trigger the same emotions. I built walls around me. The counsellor's approach made me just another fighter. With u it's a guided exploration. Both gave a relief but yours also gave a release. Having done the inner child workshop with you, the understanding of concepts became much easier. Your approach in particular enables a self connect and an independence from within. Also one very significant thing I wanna say is that it has a spiritual feel attached to it. I feel that the reason why regular therapy doesn't work for people in severe depression is that therapy is telling them what to do to make them happy and how to fight your negative emotion. In the process you feel negative about your negative emotions and the battle just continues within, in fact it becomes even more stronger. That’s because with yourself you can't fight.. U will lose.. With your approach the battle comes to a rest...There is a deeper understanding of self, people and circumstances. That is where it brings a significant change in really transforming our life. I really wish you bloom and reach out. There are so many people in pain, I wish you could help them.” - Disha, Corporate Professional "Never ever I thought I was spiritual, or I could be ... Went through inner child workshop with Yoshita & Ashwini at Zorba the Buddha.. It was an emotional turmoil yet what a release and relief.. Emotions and events blocked away in my subconscious mind came to surface.. Things that haunted me came in to light and i understood why.. I was regressed to see myself in my moms womb and i understood crucial things about me that has sculpted my personality.. Iam feeling connected to my innerchild - my true self..Plz attend the workshop, its a life altering experience ... Don't miss" - Richa, Homemaker and a Mother. "Thanks Yoshita and Ashwini for these two days which were truly amazing!! We all get so caught up in our so called "roles and responsibilities " that we shut are true inner self , our inner child completely. We play all the parts beautifully in our life just forget that we have one and only one of our own to live !! Please continue this beautiful work... Much needed for all!! - Konika, Senior Professional in an MNC Rome was not built in a day and similarly injuries of heart cannot be healed instantaneously. This was something I used to believe before attending the Inner Child workshop. But after undergoing this soothing experience my thoughts have somewhat changed. My life was just like a brook which is considered to be lively but is unable to overcome the massive obstacles in its journey. Just like a tributary changes its form to become a big river similarly Ashwini sir and Yoshita ma'am polarised my thoughts and thus turning me into a survivor who never shows her back to the problems of the life. After attending the workshop I really got to know the true meaning of mutual relationship and how to nurture them better.' - Sagarika, Law Student, Delhi I have a great relationship with my parents yet I had resented them.. Got irritated with no reason or will get upset on smallest of things such outburst of emotions at times that I felt amazed of me.. I never realized why I behave with so much of anger at times...The reason I found when I went through Inner child workshop. Abuse is something we all women have gone through.. I did too.. A very close family member abused me.. I was brave enough to tell my mom but she shoved it under the blanket.. Yes she tried to protect me in her capacity but didn't even say a word to him nor did question him.. I realized I have been holding that against her.. This abuse left me with so many scars that I had intimacy issues,that I brought with me in my marriage., yes I did try to work on it but never fully recovered, it is only when I went through inner child workshop ,my fears and scars and resentments came on the surface.i dealt with it with the help of our facilitator Yoshita Swarup Sharma and Ashwini.. I released my anger, my frustration and my disappointment. Yes I am free of anger towards my mom, it is not easy but I worked on it with the help of my inner child my true self ... She has forgiven my mum, I feel free and happy. From past 2 years I have had sleep disorder , couldn't sleep at all or will sleep less, since the workshop I am sleeping like a baby..Thanks Yoshita and Ashwini what you have given me I would have not got elsewhere.. I am looking forward to a great relationship with my parents.like you said we can't ask them to apologize as they have given us the gift of life..They are the givers and we are the receivers and I promise to honour them by living a happy and content life. Please go through this healing, it will change ur life forever.. It's life altering. - Homemaker and Mother 2 दिन (18 घंटे ) इसके पहले की लाइफ बहुत तेज़ भाग रही थी पता नहीं क्यों इतनी जल्दी थी और इस जल्दी मे कुछ तो था जो बाकि रह रहा था।। कही तो कुछ था अंदर, जो बाहर नहीं आरहा था।। एक बनावटी सी दुनिया थी और इसे जबरजस्ती ढो रहा था ।। Reclame your Inner child के बाद एक दिशा मिली है अंदर के राग द्वेष ख़त्म हो गए है या कम हो गए हैँ। अभी 4 दिन ही हुए है आगे और भी changes आयगे।। life को सही दिशा की ओर जाता महसूस कर पा रहा हूँ ।। अश्विनी और योशिता ने जो किया उसे कहा नहीं जा सकता।। एक बार जरूर आना चाइये यहाँ।। Must do for all! - Gaurinath, Married and Working with a TV channel I left my sourcing job after 8 years as I was on the verge of a burn-out. I felt that nothing and nobody could help me recharge my batteries anymore. That’s when I got in touch with Ashwini. He helped me to find the right and simple way of taking care of my health. He also helped me to put some order in my life and prioritize goals related to work and family. We finalized a step by step approach to be followed in order to achieve the new goals in my working life. Things have improved drastically and I now feel really energetic to take on the challenges. I am getting closer to my goals with great speed… I am sure that this is only the beginning! I have benefited immensely from Ashwini’s coaching and I am sure so will others…. GRAZIE (THANK YOU!) ASHWINI…..” - Donatella Pigato, Sourcing professional, previously Buyer at Bizzotto, Italy I had heard about Ashwini's coaching abilities and so wanted to find out how I can improve my life, my income etc. At this time I had very low income. I was in depression as my father was very unwell. I used to wonder how will I run my family, will I keep earning this kind of money for years? He guided me on how to speak to clients, to overcome my shyness etc. In a few sessions i got a lot of confidence and clarity that its possible “to be successful ”. I tried what he said and my life started changing instantly… earlier I never used to reach out to clients, I never knew I could do this…I did not recognize my own potential, which he pointed out to me. Once I applied what he told me , the result was there in front of me… I started approaching my clients and I was able to convert them into taking personal training…this led to an increase in my income…I have become more confident in approaching potential clients. I started earning a lot of money (ten times of what I was earning earlier). I used to have a lot of bad habits like smoking etc, which with Ashwini’s guidance and support I quit and started concentrating on my physical endurance. - Sanjay Verma, Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer, Gurgaon, India |
Leadership Work
I became a more impactful leader and made substantial career progress in 9 months. Within the first month of coaching with Ashwini, I made considerable headway at work, such as communicating more effectively, taking frequent feedback and building trust with my stakeholders. I restructured my team and developed a razor sharp focus on my key deliverables, to increase the team productivity over the next few months. This resulted in enhanced satisfaction levels of my senior stakeholders. I really benefited being a part of this very effective and results focussed leadership program. I would strongly recommend this program to all leaders who are serious about their career development. - Krishnaraj Vanavadiya, Senior Director at Intel, Bengaluru, India "Coaching with Aashwini almost felt like I was recalibrating myself! He has helped me discover myself, my strengths, my areas of improvement, my self-perception and the world’s perception of me. I have won back relationships that were sour for years or decades. My reactions to situations and people have calmed down and I have learnt to deal with situations with a balanced mind and enthusiasm. I have overcome my debilitating habit of procrastination. I have learnt the art and science of bringing clarity to my thinking process. I have learnt techniques, how to transform professional & personal relationships, achieve self-respect, self-confidence, decision making, and how to win people with authenticity, simplicity, and humility. Even after the completion of our agreed sessions, Aashwini continues to keep in touch with me, holds me accountable and guides me so that I continue to put into practice, what I have learnt and planned. Aashwini’s total commitment to his coachee’s success is his key differentiator. I would recommend Aashwini for his deep understanding of human behavior, his immense exposure to the corporate world, and his years of spiritual and psychological practices. Approach him to become the person you desire and deserve to be! - Harish Sharma, Account Director - Dell, Mentor of Change - Atal Innvovation Mission Leaders require courage, humility and discipline to lead and drive change in their organizations and Ashiwini inspires leaders to do just that.
