Why I Write?

By Dr. Dahiana Naidu

I never set out to be a writer. I set out to be a seeker of truth, of healing, of the hidden mechanics behind what we call life.

But somewhere between the questions and the studies, between the ceremonies and the science, I found that the only way to truly honor what I was learning… was to write it.

Because writing, for me, is not just about sharing.
It’s about remembering.
It’s about turning everything I’ve studied, lived, suffered, and discovered into something useful something sacred for someone else.

The Alchemy of Knowing and Translating

My path has never been linear.
I’ve studied biochemistry, nutrition, trauma therapy, energy medicine, ancient ritual, spiritual psychology, and sacred texts.

I’ve trained as a certified life coach, health coach, researcher, regression guide, and ordained minister.

I’ve walked with shamans and sat in silence with scientists. I’ve dissected the brain in theory and held the soul in practice.

But knowledge alone was never the goal.
Understanding was.
Not the kind of understanding that lives in books or data but the kind that lives in the body.

In experience.

In energy.

In the silence between what you know and what you can feel.

Writing allows me to connect the two:


The science behind the magic. The reason behind the ritual. The biology behind the belief.

It is how I thread the invisible into something tangible.

Why I Teach Through Words

Teaching is my devotion.

It’s not something I do it’s something I live.

But writing is where my teaching becomes eternal.
A session might last an hour.

A talk might inspire for a day.
But words written with presence, written from lived truth they stay.

When I write, I am archiving the medicine.
Not just for the world now, but for generations to come.
For my daughters.

For the next girl who doesn't yet know that what she's feeling has a name.

For the woman who thought healing was too far away.

For the man whose trauma lives behind silence.

I write because if I don’t, what I’ve spent a lifetime learning might dissolve inside of me instead of evolving through others.

The Weight and Gift of Multiplicity

People often ask me, “How do you do so many things?”
And the answer is always the same: I don’t chase careers — I follow curiosity.

Every modality I’ve studied was a door I walked through with wonder.
Not because I needed another title, but because I felt called to understand.
To dismantle the walls between fields medicine and mysticism, science and soul and build bridges where people could walk across safely, with truth and trust in both hands.

I’ve spent years asking:

  • How does trauma live in the nervous system?

  • What happens to memory during regression?

  • Why does intention shift cellular behavior?

  • How can plants speak to the body in biochemical language?

  • What is the frequency of forgiveness?

And every answer I’ve found… I write. I teach. I give.

Writing Is Sacred Architecture

Each book, each article, each page I pour into is not just information it is infrastructure.

It’s where truth lives in form.
It’s where I build spaces for others to remember.
It’s where my knowledge becomes not just a path but a home.

Writing, for me, is the most sacred responsibility I’ve ever accepted.
Because every word I write is a mirror.
Every paragraph is a door.
Every chapter is a hand reaching out to someone who’s ready to walk their own past — not to fix it, but to find meaning in it.

In Closing: Why I Will Keep Writing

I write because I believe healing is meant to be shared.
Because I believe knowledge is not power until it’s passed on.
Because I believe words, when held with reverence, can become medicine.

I write because I still seek.
And what I find, I offer.
Not to be known but to make knowing possible for someone else.
