Ancient wisdom × modern therapy

तत् त्वम् असि

You are that.
You always were.

Tattvamasi is where the Upanishads meet the therapy room — practical tools from psychology, held inside five thousand years of self-inquiry. Not another guru. Not another therapist. A conversation.

Founded by Janki Singh, therapist & hypnotherapist, and Binal Shah, lifelong student of the scriptures.

Bits asks
Janks answers
Real questions. From people like you.
Who we are

Not another guru.
Not another therapist.
A conversation.

One of us explains how the mind works. The other asks the questions you were too polite to ask. Between the two, ancient philosophy stops being philosophy — and starts being useful.

The therapist

Janki Singh

"Janks" — explains how the mind works

Certified hypnotherapist, therapist and facilitator. Janki brings modern therapeutic tools together with years of study in Indian philosophy — helping people understand subconscious patterns, heal emotional wounds, and create change that lasts.

  • Psychology
  • Hypnotherapy
  • EFT
  • Trauma work
  • Nervous-system regulation
The questioner

Binal Shah

"Bits" — asks what everyone is thinking

A lifelong student of Indian scriptures and self-inquiry, Binal represents the rest of us — curious, sceptical, occasionally funny. Through storytelling and real-life examples, he makes profound spiritual ideas simple, relatable, and honest.

  • Upanishads
  • Bhagavad Gita
  • Storytelling
  • Self-inquiry
  • Humour

"Together, psychology and spirituality walk hand in hand — practical tools on one side, timeless wisdom on the other."

Our approach

Not scriptures vs therapy.
Scriptures + therapy.

Every session pairs one ancient text with one modern therapeutic lens. One problem. One shloka. One practical takeaway.

Bhagavad Gitaश्रीमद्भगवद्गीता

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Arjuna froze on the battlefield. CBT calls it catastrophic thinking. Krishna called it a conversation worth having.
Upanishadsउपनिषद्
+
Identity work
Who are you when the job title, the roles and the achievements fall away? The oldest question in therapy — asked 3,000 years earlier.
Patanjali's Yoga Sutrasयोगसूत्राणि
+
Mindfulness
"Yogas chitta vritti nirodha" — the stilling of mental chatter. Mindfulness before it had an app.
Vedantaवेदान्त
+
Acceptance & commitment
Stop fighting what is. Act from what matters. Two traditions, one instruction.
Ayurvedaआयुर्वेद

Nervous-system regulation
What your body already knows about calm — and how to give it back that language.
One of the four Mahāvākyas of the Upanishads

The meaning of Tat Tvam Asi

तत्

Tat

That

The limitless reality. The universal consciousness that exists beyond names, forms and labels.

त्वम्

Tvam

You

Not the roles you play. Not the stories you tell yourself. Your deepest, witnessing awareness.

असि

Asi

Are

Not will become. Not someday. Not after achieving more. You already are.

A reminder that our deepest nature has always been whole.

तत् त्वम् असि
"Not wishing had to be earned today, would I still believe I am enough?"
— This week's reflection
Janks & Bits — the series

Therapy, meet the Gita.

Short, honest, occasionally ridiculous conversations between a therapist and the rest of us.

Series 01

Bits Asks

"Janks… why do I overthink?" The questions everyone has, asked out loud.

Series 02

Therapy Meets Gita

One problem. One shloka. One therapy explanation.

Series 03

Scriptures Didn't Say That

Manifesting isn't magic. Ego isn't confidence. Meditation isn't stopping thoughts.

Series 04

What Krishna Would Tell Your Therapist

Funny. Relatable. Accidentally educational.

Series 05

Ancient Problems, Modern Names

Arjuna: "I don't want to fight." Today's diagnosis? Decision paralysis.

Series 06

The Therapy Room, 5000 Years Ago

Sketches from a couch that predates couches.

तत् त्वम् असि

You have spent a lifetime
becoming someone.

Perhaps now, it is time to remember who you already are. One thoughtful reflection every week. No noise. No spam.

Just timeless wisdom, delivered gently to your inbox.
