Here is how I practice surrendering to the flow. ## Photos and videos - [Video: I am 32 years old and I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy a slow life, value stability over lofty ambition, and am a bit of an old-school soul.

My approach is entirely non-predictive and non-clinical, focusing on holding space for the parts of yourself you have been hiding. Whether we are using tarot as a mirror or breathwork to ground your nervous system, the sessions are designed for those 'blah' days when life feels heavy and you just need a safe place to land, breathe, and remember that you are enough. My philosophy is simple: you don't need to be perfect to be whole. I spent years trying to fit into boxes, chasing lofty ambitions, and hiding my own intensity, only to realize that the most profound healing happens when we stop resisting and start accepting. ### Why I Don't Predict Many people come to me looking for answers about their future, but I believe the cards are not for fortune-telling. When we work together, we use tarot as a mirror for your own subconscious. It reveals the patterns you are already living and the emotions you are already holding. My job is to help you see those truths clearly so you can decide your own path. ### How We Ground Real life isn't a retreat; it's a series of messy, imperfect moments. That’s why my sessions are online, designed to fit into your home, your pajamas, and your daily reality. We use: * **Breathwork:** To drop out of the overthinking mind and into the body. * **Surrender Meditation:** To let go of the 'what-ifs' and 'should-haves' that keep you stuck. * **Mindful Rituals:** Simple, daily acts like gratitude stones or energy cleansing that don't require an ashram, just a moment of intention. ### My Commitment to You Healing isn't about becoming a 'better' version of yourself. It is about becoming the real version. If you are in your 'I don't know how, but I will' era, I am here to walk that path with you. Whether you choose a one-off session or our 4-week mentorship, we will move at the pace your heart needs, not the pace society demands. ## About Shilpa Murthy I’m Shilpa.
