Life has been kind to me in many methods and I am grateful for it. That does not mean I don’t get to carry my portion of tension but almost always it never ever felt overwhelming. Nevertheless, there are somedays, or need to I state phases when it appears like tension is lastly catching up with me. And I am going through among those stages now. So, when I learnt more about #SantaniStoryChallenge 2025, (and you can participate too) it seemed like an indication. Santani has 2 resorts in Sri Lanka one in Kandy and the other one in Bentota.
I dived into it with fantastic fervor. Why did it take place?
The Backstory: To describe, I will give you a brief backstory. My child began playing tennis when she was nine, she is 18 now. Any type of weather condition, we would be at the tennis courts, 40 degree plus, we were there, 4 degree, we were still there. I was mostly a viewer however I passed time by strolling a lot and doing my social networks and financial investments. At the best of the times, it was anything however simple. However, Chhavi went on to attain leading 100 rank both in under 16 (58) and under 18 (64) in India. I am incredibly proud. But things never ever remain the very same!
The Injury: However, in May of 2025 she got a bad lower back injury. In sports, such things happens. Only we think it will not take place to us! Suddenly we were not hanging out around tennis courts any longer. We needed to figure out what else she could get. And like a champion she picked animation. I mored than happy to see that she truly liked it. Nevertheless, for nearly 8 long years tennis was our life and unexpectedly it wasn’t. It was a shock! Now I am trying to think again and again, thanks to Santani, “It’s okay, it’s life” however I guess it will take more time to sink in.
Picking up a Tennis Racket at 53: I was a professional athlete in my more youthful days. Her coaches suggested why don’t I play a little to keep fit. And from there on it started to occur to me, bit by bit, how delicate I felt! As Santani recommends, health is a composite of physical health, psychological health and spiritual health. I now had a roadmap to access mine! And here is how it looks!
Physical Health: When I started having fun with some regularity once again at the age of 53 my physical health came as a rude shock to me! Do not get me wrong, I can average 20K actions in Japan for 10 days but throw me on a tennis court for an hour and I was beat, like completely beat. It was due to the limitless persistence of my coaches that I slowly felt less beat, not in excellent shape however less beat. And it was any day much better than entirely beat!
Playing a Competition-Are you Kidding Me? Then came a tennis tournament, International Tennis Federation’s Master Tour or ITF MT 100. I took part both in singles and mixed doubles. I needed to play in 40+ classification as there were inadequate entries in 50+. In songs I lost in three tough combated sets. In blended doubles we made it to the finals. That was an absolute adventure. But after the tournament, I came down with eye flue, and I felt deader than dead. This was a rude awakening. I constantly believed it was my psychological health that needed care. And here I was, feeling elated but shattered. I was highly questioning my physical health, and it was challenging to decide which was the worse!
Mental Health: What do I state about my psychological health? Mr. Vickum Nawagamuwage founder of Santani recognizes “an “evolutionary mismatch” between our ancient biological style and the unrelenting speed of modern life!” You can listen to the complete talk from the video above!
We all have felt a little bit of the very same, without having the ability to articulate it so plainly. Obviously, I use my brain much more than my physical abilities, I constantly have however without knowing its importance!
This quote made me stop briefly. A great deal of what I feel can be certainly credited to this constant info overload, we being constantly on social networks and our brains restricted capability to process that volume of details. Contribute to it the shocks of the normal life, and the concern begins to feel intolerable. And I am no exception!
< img width= "1024" height="576"src= "https://traveltalesfromindia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/crochet.jpg"alt= ""/ > I have made a little change to deal with the problem of mindless scrolling. I began to crochet with yarn, that method I can avoid phone quickly. And on some days, it actually seems like a lifeline!
Spiritual Health: If the physical health and the mental health run out sync, will the spiritual health remain in location? I have my sincere doubts. I am fortunate since I have a strong connection with plants and they keep me grounded. If fact I have actually packed many plants in our minimal space that there is just no more location left for any bigger ones!
Another thought from the Santani philosophy that resonated with me is- who are we if we do not exist in connection with others? For now my mind boggles when I think about this. This is too big a concern for me in my current state of my mind, however I understand and I will return to it.
Why did #SantaniStoryChalleneg 2025 Resonated with Me: The #SantaniStory touched me because I was currently asking questions about my health and wellbeing. So, when the opportunity came along to dig in this, I was genuine about it! So where does this leave me total? I will say in a much better place. I am more familiar with my difficulties and those around me. I am interested by the viewpoint of Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, the architecture of silence, of rasa hasa food playing a main function in our health and wellbeing, of the tri-level spa and panchakarma for which Santani stands. But one day if I get a chance to fulfill them, I would ask them how is it ever possible to keep doing it in my everyday life?
