Sarmistha Mitra
The Wellbeing Sanctuary
1.
Can you tell us a little about yourself and your journey to becoming an author?
I
am Sarmistha Mitra, a master holistic counselor, thought leader, and the
founder of The Wellbeing Sanctuary. I have developed a therapeutic model named
DecodeYou®️: Subconscious Mind Mastery Program, which helps to train the mind
to prevent and overcome illnesses of the mind and body. My journey to becoming
an author was a natural extension of my work in subconscious reprogramming,
ancestral healing, and mind training. Over the years, I realized that true
transformation requires more than just therapy—it requires knowledge,
reflection, and a shift in perception. Writing became my way of reaching a
wider audience, offering them insights and tools to break free from limiting
patterns and reclaim their power.
2.
What inspired you to start writing, and who are your literary influences?
My
inspiration comes from my deep understanding of human consciousness and the
desire to help others liberate themselves from cycles of suffering. Books like
Living with the Himalayan Masters and Autobiography of a Yogi profoundly shaped
my perception of reality and the power of the mind. They taught me that
transformation is always possible if we challenge our perceptions. My writing
is also influenced by spiritual philosophy, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom,
blending them into a unique approach to healing and self-mastery.
3.
How do you think your background and experiences have shaped your writing?
My
experiences as a holistic psychologist and spiritual counselor have given me a
deep understanding of the subconscious mind, ancestral survival programs, and
karmic imprints. I’ve seen firsthand how unresolved traumas pass down through
generations, affecting lives in ways most people don’t realize. This insight
has shaped my writing into more than just knowledge-sharing—it’s a roadmap for
healing, integrating science with ancient wisdom to provide practical
solutions.
Writing
Process and Habits
4.
Can you describe your writing process? Do you follow a strict routine, or is it
more fluid and spontaneous?
My
writing process is intuitive and reflective. I don’t follow a strict routine,
but I do write in intense bursts when inspiration strikes. I let ideas marinate
in my mind for weeks or months, exploring different perspectives before putting
them into words. Some of my best insights come during meditation or deep
contemplation.
5.
How do you overcome writer’s block or any challenges you face during the
writing process?
I
see writer’s block as a sign that I need to step back and allow the
subconscious to process information. Instead of forcing words onto a page, I
engage in activities that shift my focus—playing the handpan, meditating, or
simply observing patterns in nature. This helps me reconnect with the deeper
flow of creativity.
6.
Are there any rituals or habits you find essential to your creative process?
Yes,
stillness is essential. Before writing, I often engage in meditation or deep
breathing exercises to silence distractions and access a state of flow. I also
journal my thoughts and insights before they take shape into structured
content.
About
the Book
7.
Please introduce us to your latest book. What is it about?
My
latest book, Whispers of the Womb: Healing Generations and Reclaiming Feminine
Power, explores the deep subconscious and ancestral imprints that shape
feminine identity and power. It reveals how generational trauma, societal
conditioning, and suppressed emotions are stored within the womb space—both
physically and energetically. The book offers insights into healing these
wounds, reclaiming feminine strength, and restoring balance between the
masculine and feminine within.
8.
Can you share a bit about the research and preparation that went into writing
this book?
This
book is a culmination of my work in DecodeYou®️ and my extensive research into
generational trauma, epigenetics, and ancient feminine wisdom. I delved into
historical narratives, mythologies, and modern psychological studies to connect
the dots between past and present, showing how women can break free from
inherited patterns and step into their true power. The research also involved
studying the energetic imprints carried by the womb and how they influence
relationships, health, and self-worth.
9.
How does this book reflect your growth as a writer compared to your previous
works?
Since
this is my third book, I have refined my ability to weave complex concepts into
an accessible and engaging narrative. My previous books laid the foundation,
but Whispers of the Womb takes my work deeper, integrating personal stories,
historical insights, and practical exercises in a way that empowers readers to
take action.
Reader
Engagement and Insights
10.
What do you hope readers will take away from your book?
I
hope readers will recognize that the pain, struggles, and patterns they
experience are not just theirs—they are echoes of generations before them. More importantly, they have the power to heal and rewrite these patterns.
My book provides tools for self-discovery, healing, and reclaiming the divine
feminine within.
11.
Are there any themes or messages you wish to highlight through your story?
Yes,
the core themes are:
•
Ancestral healing: Understanding how unresolved traumas get passed down through
generations.
•
Reclaiming feminine power: Shifting from a wounded feminine archetype to an
empowered one.
•
Healing through awareness: How consciousness can break inherited cycles and
transform suffering into strength.
12.
How has feedback from readers influenced your writing or your approach to
storytelling?
Reader
feedback has been invaluable. Many have shared how my books have helped them
connect with their subconscious patterns and find clarity. This has encouraged
me to make my writing even more interactive, integrating reflective exercises
and real-life applications to deepen their experience.
The
Writing Community and Industry
13.
How do you engage with the writing community and your readers?
I
engage through workshops, social media discussions, and wellness programs at
The Wellbeing Sanctuary. I also speak at events and collaborate with other
thought leaders to spread awareness about subconscious healing and
self-mastery.
14.
What are your thoughts on the current trends in your genre or the publishing
industry as a whole?
I
see a growing demand for books that bridge science and spirituality. People are
looking for answers beyond conventional psychology, and holistic approaches to
healing are gaining recognition. However, mainstream publishing still resists unconventional ideas, which is why self-publishing and
independent platforms are becoming powerful mediums for transformational
content.
15.
Can you share any advice for aspiring writers who wish to follow in your
footsteps?
Write
from a place of authenticity. Don’t just write to inform—write to transform. If
your work is rooted in deep truth and experience, it will find its audience.
And most importantly, trust your voice, even if it challenges existing
narratives.

18.
Aside from writing, what are your other passions or hobbies?
I
enjoy playing the handpan, as it helps me explore the mind-body connection

historical shifts, and technological advancements have influenced our sleep
cycles and subconscious states.
