Happy Soul, a believer in a gift called life, avid traveler and explorer, respects relationships, and believes in goodness all around. Gunjan considers herself a student of her two sons, who teach her many lessons in life. She lives in Hyderabad, a beautiful “city of pearls” in India. Gunjan got into the habit of formal practice unknowingly at a very young age because of her grandmother, who would make her sit and chant every day. The rigmarole of daily life made her find less time for practice. She got back to mindfulness after embracing motherhood and found relief through practice. The desire to deepen her practice and understanding of mindfulness made her pursue the Unified Mindfulness Foundations and Pathways Program.
Seeing the benefits it had in her personal life and her willingness and passion to share this knowledge with others made her move ahead pursue the Compass Program to become a Unified Mindfulness Teacher/Trainer. She has a Master’s Diploma in Business Administration and is a Certified Associate from the Indian Institute of Bankers. With more than fifteen years of experience in dealing with clients in the Banking and Commercial sector, her innate interest in people and their behavior inspired her to work in the field of Training and Development.
She works with individuals and organizations to help them reach their true potential through her customized training programs. A simple conversation with her younger son a few years back gave her the idea to write her first blog and discover her passion for writing, which she finds cathartic. She loves contributing through blogs, micro-fiction stories, and poetry on several online platforms across varied topics such as Parenting, Travel, Mindfulness, relationships, and nurturing positivity. Gunjan published her first Book My first Book “Strings Volume One- A Collection of Poems and Micro Fiction” in 2020. Her second book “Bhutan Somewhere between heaven and Earth- A Happy Place” capturing glimpses of the beautiful Kingdom of Bhutan was published in 2022.
Her third book “Strings Volume II -A Collection of Little Things in Life” was published in March 2024. She is currently penning her fourth book. She has also volunteered to teach underprivileged children through the “Teach for Change” Program, as she firmly believes that lessons learned early in life (childhood) continue to shape the future years. Gunjan likes to add zing to her life and life to her days by starting her days with Yoga, meditation, and morning walks. She also enjoys spending time with her family, traveling to new places, reading, and writing. You can find more about her on http://beyondstories.in/.
