My Journey: Exploring Astro-Psychology, Palmistry, and Beyond
Namaskar!
My story begins with fond memories of my grandfather. A bright man and an Irrigation Engineer, he was also a seeker of the mystical. Though he didn’t practise often, I recall moments when he would captivate me with mythological tales, discussions on planets, and his rare forays into palmistry. He was a devoted Sikh, yet his reverence for Shiva ran deep, creating a unique blend of faith and curiosity.
From a young age, I found myself drawn to Astrology, Palmistry, Metaphysics, and ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). The mysteries of parapsychology fascinated me, igniting a lifelong passion to explore the unseen and the unknown.
Early Influences
As I grew older, I had the fortune of meeting learned astrologers and palmists, including Mr. Kaul – a high ranking government official, who left an indelible mark on my journey. His teachings on palmistry, planetary influences, and the concept of karma deepened my understanding and fueled my interest in the occult sciences.
Astrology and Disillusionment
Like many seekers, my path was not without its trials. I spent significant amounts of money on astrologers and remedies, hoping to resolve the challenges I faced. None of them seemed to work.
One particular incident stands out. I visited a renowned astrologer in Delhi during a turbulent phase in my life. He charged a hefty fee for a ritual and recommended a gem stone, promising it would change my fortunes. Instead, my life took a darker turn—I lost my father, a tragedy he hadn’t foreseen. That moment marked the end of my dependence on traditional astrologers and pushed me to seek deeper truths.
The Intersection of Psychology and Astro-Psychology
While pursuing my Masters Degree in Psychology, I couldn’t shake the belief that conventional psychology alone was insufficient to address the complexities of human suffering. This perspective often put me at odds with my peers, but my conviction remained steadfast.
I realised that most people seeking therapy weren’t just looking for solutions—they wanted answers. Why am I feeling this way? Why is this happening to me? Conventional psychology, rooted in research and data, often relies on client inputs. However, I believed that blending psychology with astrology, parapsychology, and metaphysics could uncover deeper insights.
The Moon and the Mind
The moon has always fascinated me. I remember lying in the courtyard of my ancestral home, gazing at it in wonder. In Indian culture, the moon is central to festivals, auspicious timings (Muhurats), and mythological stories.
In astrology, the moon governs the mind and thought processes – What we think, memories, perception & subconscious. An afflicted moon, in association with certain planets, is believed to contribute to cognitive distortions and mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, overthinking, and phobias. This understanding added another layer to my therapeutic approach.
Applying Astro-Psychology
In 2019, I began assisting friends, colleagues, and relatives using the tools of astro-psychology and parapsychology, which I have been practising for a few years now. The results were remarkable.
- I helped a close friend confront and work through deeply embedded childhood trauma rooted in her subconscious mind.
- I guided a colleague through marital discord.
- I supported a grieving relative as he navigated profound loss.
- I worked with another relative to break free from addiction.
These experiences solidified my belief in the power of these unconventional tools.
A New Chapter
In 2022, I transitioned to practising therapy full-time along with successfully running an HR Enterprise for close to 15 years. This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, bringing me closer to the truth that observation leads to understanding, and understanding leads to healing.
Today, I assist individuals in resolving relationship issues, addressing childhood trauma, and managing grief. Each person I work with teaches me more about the profound interplay between psychology and the cosmic forces that influence us.
To all who have believed in me, thank you. Your trust and encouragement have allowed me to embark on this incredible journey of discovery, healing, and growth.
With gratitude,
Prince Dhawan
