Manashantii is the founder, owner, sole author and sole editor of this website and her other websites. The writings on this website are creatively inspired by Manashantii’s psychological experiences and the Holy Bible. Manashantii started writing this website in 1999 as a freewebs website.  Manashantii has owned the domain manashantii.com since early 2002. Manashantii.com WAS originally a website that displayed her Psychological poetry, her then Feminist views, her then Veganism views, her then Atheist views, her then Buddhist beliefs and her articles on Afro hair. She is no longer a Vegan, Feminist, Humanist, Buddhist or Atheist. In 2005 her views changed and as a result she turned this website into a Christian website in 2008 ; she then deleted all the articles and started rewriting this website since Wednesday 6th June 2012.

In this present day, the aim of this website is to educate the reader about Christian topics, cover a little bit on psychotherapy and exhibit Manashantii’s autobiographical poetry. Everything on this website is thought of and written by Manashantii unless otherwise stated. Please seek Manashantii’s permission to use her work and or quote her by attaching her name to the quote.

Manashantii is a pacifist, believes in giving lovingly, forgiving truly, and deciding to love peacefully in every moment. Forgiveness helps you to heal and delivers you from spiritual bondage.

Manashantii is a Spirit-filled Christian, Pacifist, who happens to be black British female of various African and Middle Eastern origins. Manashantii writes Christian and psychotherapy articles and also writes psychological poems which are intellectual reflections, emotional observations and experiential expressions. All Christian articles written on this website were written between Wednesday 6th of June 2012 until this present day.

Manashantii writes because writing is physically relaxing, psychologically cathartic, spiritually nourishing and it is also her creative outlet, writing helps her to manage stress and be organised, writing helps her to gather her thoughts and make plans and reflect. Writing helps her to record her thoughts, her memories and communicate with the world. Manashantii’s writings are unedited stream of consciousness writing and usually first draft only, never concerned about grammar or punctuation. She writes this way because she likes to illustrate with words, she writes sensory photographs of her consciousness, she does this because she likes the reader to sense her original thoughts, feelings and ideas, she values this type of writing process. She enjoys studying hard and writing with passion. Writing is a tool that helps her to develop her knowledge.
