The mind is one friend that makes conflicts with your heart every time, but have you ever tried to make a pact with yourself? Well, now you can with our Mindfulness coach “Avril Quadros”. This fantastic session was not for a group of participants but it was a session for YOU and ONLY YOU.

Avril Quadros is one of India’s best-known Mindfulness Mediation trainers, an Energy and Life Transformation coach, and the founder of the wellness company - Avril Q’s. She has facilitated programs for the MNCs in India and abroad and does personal therapy and coaching for individuals. Her pioneering wellness program for women, Shakti, has received comprehensive coverage because it is one of the few programs specifically targeting women.

The session commenced by playing the video of JAIN Online and our all-time favourite person Ms Seema took over the session by greeting all the participants and cheering them up by clicking pictures with the participants. She also introduced our guest of honour Ms Avril Quadros with her video snippet of the speaker and proceeded to hand over the session to Avril Quadros.

Ms Avril started the show with her sweet voice by singing one of her favourite songs from Bollywood, she also gave a brief about how you matter to yourself and understanding your mind, how to make actions on what you learn, mindfulness (accept the reality of yourself), adaptability (transform yourself), and also internal guru (compass within yourself). How people are in their own comfort zone and have fear of failure to come out and do something on their own. She made the participants meditate and made them feel themselves. She also gave a slogan for the session “MPTY” – More Power to Yourself.

Post which, she took some questions from the participants on how to overcome negative thoughts and negative visuals from their daily life. The tagline of Avril is ‘Always stays true to being you’.

Post the session with Avril, Seema announced the details of the Ramani Iyers’ event and participants liked the Instagram post of the offline event, she also mentioned the opportunity to grab free passes for the JAIN Akcent Event by attending the offline event of Mr Ramani Iyer.
