Reignite Your Power
Through Gentle, Mindful Healing
Happiness is our deepest urge. I support you in rediscovering it by releasing stress and trauma. Through talks, classes, sessions, and my book Reignite Your Power, you’ll find a safe space to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your innate peace. My approach blends mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and trauma-informed practices to restore balance and awaken joy, gratitude, and equanimity.

“Hi, I’m Pawan."
I grew up in Delhi, India, in a family steeped in meditation. Yet for years I struggled to carry that peace into everyday life—until a 2001 Spirit Rock retreat with Jack Kornfield transformed everything.
