Meet Garima Verma

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Garima Verma. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with garima below.

Garima, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

Much before I truly understood the meaning of resilience, I was gifted with a desire to know and experience what lies ahead of the perceived world. This desire led me into self-enquiry at a very young age, where I found myself dropping into a blank, vast state of mind. A state that was both profound and fleeting.
Yet, I didn’t know how to return there consciously, at will. That led to a powerful and intense desire for a realised spiritual master, a Gur, who could lead me through example.
My desire got fulfilled at the age of 17, when I got introduced to Sri Sri Ravishankar, whom we lovingly call Gurudev. He is many things to a great lot of people across the globe, but for me, he is the embodiment of the most profound wisdom.

Under his guidance, I began my formal journey into Yoga through the SKY meditation technique. This practice laid a fertile and unwavering foundation for a disciplined life, one where the life-force energy could flow unobstructed, freely, and joyfully.

As my journey deepened, the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. ( foundational authority text on classical yoga, compiled by the sage Patanjali) entered my life.
Within it, I found a detailed map of the obstacles one may encounter on the path, and the symptoms that accompany them.
To transcend those obstacles, Patanjali offered a simple yet profound key:
“Tatpratiṣedhārtham Ekatattva Abhyāsa” —
To overcome these obstacles, one-pointed practice is essential.
Anything one does in life — breathing, eating, listening, speaking, working, relating — when done with Eka Tattva Abhyasa, with unwavering one-pointed attention, becomes Yoga.
For me, this focus found its home in SKY meditation, in the wisdom of Yoga, and in the selfless acts of service — Sadhana, Satsang, and Seva.
And what unfolded from that steady flame of focus was not something I consciously pursued; it was simply Resilience, arising as a natural consequence of alignment with life itself.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Garima Verma | Founder, Anahadnaad Wellness & Creator of The Restfulness Method®

“People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
— Maya Angelou

My name is Garima Verma, founder of Anahadnaad Wellness and creator of The Restfulness Method®.
I describe myself as a deeply intuitive, trauma-informed therapist and systemic healing facilitator.
With every interaction, my intention is simple yet profound — to bring ease, gentleness, and to heal everything I touch.

Rooted in Reverence
My healing journey began in deep reverence for the unseen dimensions of life. Over the years, I have trained and been certified in an integrative range of therapeutic and spiritual modalities, including:

Classical Yoga (350H)

Transpersonal Regression Therapy

Advanced Inner Child Healing

Systemic & Family Constellations

Inherited Family Trauma Resolution

Business Constellations

Craniosacral Therapy

Advanced Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Marma Therapy

This multidisciplinary wisdom evolved organically into what I call The Restfulness Method® — a gentle yet potent healing approach that weaves together Touch, Rhythm, and Space.
Through this intuitive method, I have held space for transformative journeys from deep-seated trauma and chronic emotional distress to physical illness and systemic entanglements with outcomes that often transcend conventional understanding.

A Sacred Space for Healing
Whether navigating ancestral wounds, regulating the nervous system, or guiding sensitive souls back to inner safety, my work rests on one principle: Begin Within.
In my 1:1 sessions and ceremonial group containers, I offer a sacred, non-judgmental space for restoration and remembrance. I believe every issue, physical, emotional, or spiritual, is not isolated, but part of a wider system that longs to be witnessed, honoured, and restored.

Through systemic language and resonance-based inquiry, I help clients gently unravel the root of their challenges, often finding that once the root is seen and held, the symptoms naturally begin to dissolve.

Passion for Expansion
My exclusive group program, Passion for Expansion, is a sanctuary for deep restoration and ancestral healing.
Limited to only five participants at a time, this space invites immersive journeys into shadow work, inner child healing, and family constellations, allowing participants to untangle patterns carried across generations and return home to their essence.

Guided by Intuition
My sacred belief is that intuition is the highest form of intelligence.
It is my heartfelt mission to help others reawaken this inner compass to navigate life and leadership with clarity, grace, and trust.

I envision a world where the sensitive, the intuitive, and the seekers of stillness are not only accepted but celebrated;
where healing becomes an act of remembering who we truly are.

Lineage & Inspiration:
My healing lineage draws deep inspiration from my spiritual master Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a humanitarian, visionary and a peacemaker whose teachings help people lead a stress-free life and from Bert Hellinger, the founder of Family Constellation Work, whose wisdom continues to illuminate the systemic dimension of life.

Through my work as The Restfulness Therapist, I am devoted to building a heart-led, soul-aligned sanctuary – a space where restoration, remembrance, and gentle transformation are not just possible, they are inevitable.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

In a time when truth, honesty, and integrity often feel like rare treasures, I draw strength from the wisdom of my Homeland, Bharat and my ancestral and spiritual lineage that honours not three but six virtues as the true wealth of character —
the Shatsampati — six inner jewels that anchor one’s being in steadiness and grace.

1. Forgiveness (Kshama)
The ability to keep a calm, unshaken mind under all circumstances is Kshama.
It is not passive endurance, but the quiet power that transforms disturbance into peace.

2. Moderation (Dama)
When the mind and senses move in perfect harmony, without one overpowering the other, Dama arises as a refined alignment between desire and discernment.

3. Forbearance (Titiksha)
The strength to remain balanced amidst the unpleasant, to hold composure when life tests you.
If harsh words or difficult situations easily rattle your peace, it is Titiksha that steadies your ground.

4. Faith (Shraddha)
The willingness to stay open-hearted in the unknown.
To be comfortable with what you do not yet understand — that is Shraddha.

5. Joy in the Mundane (Uparati)
To find delight even in the smallest acts of living — the simple rhythm of daily life — this is Uparati.
It is the art of resting into life as it is.

6. Contentment (Samadhana)
Contentment is not complacency. It is the quiet joy of being fully present with where you are,
allowing that joy to nurture creativity, curiosity, and flow.
True Samadhana is the soil where inspiration naturally blooms.

These six virtues are not inherited; they are cultivated.
Anyone can embody these virtues by practising them with quiet consistency, with deep reverence and sincerity of heart —until they cease to be practices and become your very nature.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

In my field of. work, overwhelm and burnout often arrive quietly — they slip in, settle, and begin to dull our natural rhythm.

Over the years, I’ve found that the most effective way to restore balance is through a simple three-step approach:
1. Rest
2. Reflect
3. Redirect

When I’m in a phase of crisis, this practice becomes my anchor.
The pause allows the nervous system to settle.
The reflection creates space for truth to surface.
And the redirection gently restores flow and purpose.

In moments of overwhelm, the mind tends to become conclusive — it rushes to decide, to label, to fix.
But healing begins when we shift from conclusion to curiosity.
Asking the right kind of questions opens the door to perspectives and possibilities that were once outside our awareness.

An overwhelmed mind is, in truth, a stuck mind, and a single sincere question can bring movement back into that stillness -restoring the natural rhythm of restfulness within.
