Neelima Polam

Neelima Polam is currently a Vedanta student living in Virginia, USA. After working as a software engineer for more than eight years, Neelima co-founded and managed a lifestyle store and design studio for over six years in Hyderabad, India. She took a break from her career when she started having frequent neck and back spasms. Determined to focus on her well-being, Neelima sought help from a yoga therapist at the suggestion of a friend. That was her first introduction to Indian philosophy and meditation. She started exploring spirituality and what it meant to her. Around the same time, she began doodling and coloring as it helped her stay calm and reflect. She started discovering herself through art in a way she had not imagined. After realizing the various benefits of coloring, she got inspired to create a series of coloring books (The Art of Now – Color Me) to practice mindfulness. Neelima's spiritual journey continued over the years. She is currently studying Vedanta philosophy and shares reflections along the way through her blog, podcast, and books.
