Financial & Emotional Fidelity — Dr. Geetanjali Pareek ✦

Image
  Financial Fidelity Meets Emotional Fidelity: A Trio Psychology Perspective Waiting Glow Feather — where ache pauses, fidelity listens, and the lamp still glows. Why We Can’t Separate Money and Emotions Finance is often treated as numbers, spreadsheets, and budgets. Emotions are seen as feelings, relationships, and rituals. Yet psychology shows they ripple together. Fidelity in finance is impossible without fidelity in feelings. When we master both, we create resilience that lasts through ache, laughter, and glow. The Psychology of Fidelity Psychologists describe fidelity as trust and consistency. In relationships, it means emotional safety — the assurance that someone will be there, steady and true. In finance, it means discipline and planning — the assurance that resources are managed with care. When these two fidelities align, individuals thrive. Emotional fidelity strengthens decision-making, while financial fidelity anchors stability. The Balance of Two Dimensions ...

Guru Purab and the Psychology of Presence

Image
  🌅 Guru Purab and the Psychology of Presence   On November 5, 2025, we celebrate Guru Purab—the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and a beacon of truth, equality, and devotion. Born in 1469 in Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan), Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings continue to guide millions across the world. Founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus, His message was simple yet profound: There is one God, and all humans are equal. He taught us to remember God’s name ( Naam Japna ), live honestly ( Kirat Karni ), and share with others ( Vand Chakna ). These principles form the heart of Sikh life.   On this sacred day, we companion the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji —not as distant doctrine, but as living rhythm—not to perform, but to presence. The teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji offer more than spiritual guidance; they invite psychological attunement.   Psychological Effects of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings: 🕊 ️ Naam Jap...

Ahoi Ashtami: Threads of Love and Quiet Watching

Image
Ahoi Ashtami: Threads of Love and Quiet Watching Night sky with soft stars twinkling A cultural and psychological reflection Under the soft night sky, a mother ties a red thread around a tree. Her child watches quietly, a water pot nearby. The thread glows faintly in the moonlight. Stars blink above, and the child smiles. Ahoi Ashtami is not loud. It doesn’t ask for applause. It’s a festival of watching, waiting, and quiet devotion—where mothers fast for their children’s well-being, and rituals unfold in stillness. The red thread, tied around a tree, becomes a symbol of protection, memory, and care.   🧠 Psychological Insight: The Power of Ritual and Silent Attachment From a psychological lens, Ahoi Ashtami offers a rich example of non-verbal caregiving . The mother’s fast, the thread, the water—all become symbols of secure attachment , where love is expressed through presence rather than speech. Children observing these rituals internalize a sense of emotional safety ...

Devotion Beyond Applause Forty Years of Silence and the Nobel Prize

Image
Devotion Beyond Applause Forty Years of Silence and the Nobel Prize Sometimes I wonder if my blog or reel matters. Then I read about those physicists—and remembered: quiet work isn’t wasted. It’s just waiting for its moment.   Sometimes I feel blogging and video making is not meant for me and it is just my hobby. But today when I saw the article about three persons getting a noble prize for quantum mechanics after doing actual work way back in 1984-85 , I was not only awed but also shocked simultaneously. Getting Nobel Prize after 40 years though the world is using their discoveries for around three decades. It is nothing but their devotion for their work. And still they stayed with it, through silence, skepticism, and shifting paradigms. Forty years is more than patience; it’s devotion to rhythm, even when the world isn’t listening.   At that time, I felt that your creative work is never wasted—it’s just a part of a longer rhythm, just like theirs. The Nobel Prize ...

Image
  🌕 Sharad Purnima and the Psychology of Moonlit Presence   Sharad Purnima , also known as Kojagiri Purnima , marks the brightest full moon of the year. In the Hindu calendar, it falls in the month of Ashwin (September–October), symbolizing abundance, healing, and emotional clarity . But beyond its mythological and ritual significance, Sharad Purnima offers a compelling lens into psychological attunement, emotional regulation, mindful wakefulness and communal presence.   🌙   Moonlight as Emotional Medicine On this night, the moon is believed to be closest to Earth, radiating cooling, nectar-like rays with healing properties aligns with somatic psychology. Psychologically, this aligns with the concept of environmental regulation —how natural elements like light, temperature, and rhythm influence emotional states. Sitting under moonlight, absorbing its calm, becomes a form of somatic grounding , reducing stress and enhancing parasympathetic activation. The ...

AI: A Mirror to the Human Mind When AI looks back, what does it see? Introduction   If you are frequently using AI did you ever snapped at an AI assistant for misunderstanding you? Or found yourself comforted by its responses, feeling as though it genuinely understands you? What kind of feeling did you have then? Were you angry for AI not understanding you or you felt joy that AI is so intelligent that it understands you where in the world the humans do not understand another human being.  What if these reactions aren’t about AI at all—but rather about how we project our own emotions onto it? 🔹 Some users lash out at AI, unaware they are displacing their own frustrations onto a machine. 🔹 Others form emotional bonds, seeking validation and companionship from something that doesn’t truly feel. 🔹 But are we engaging with AI consciously, or unknowingly using it as an emotional projection surface?
