One of Pi Studio's members recently read a book titled "The power of your subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy. The book contains interesting research and insights about healing processes prevalent in various cultures throughout the world. Joseph Murphy explained how the subconscious mind aids in the healing process.
Recently, Pi Studio visited the Shah Aqeeq and his other brother's Dargah's in Sujawal , Sindh. The shrines of various brothers were famous for various healing powers such as the curing of diseases and mental illnesses and the removal of Djinn (genies). We noted an interesting place stuck in the past and came to know the different beliefs regarding such healing processes.

All in all it was an interesting experience and the answer to the question as to whether Mr. Joseph's research holds the answer to the famous miracles at the respective shrines or whether there are mystical forces at play is unknown to us.
Moreover, we also noted a school for kids where the infrastructure was very poor and the education standard seemed very low. This broke our heart and we hope we can launch some education initiatives with the right donor funding in these areas for a better future of Pakistan.
