Which behavioural habits in others do you have the least patience for? This is a tricky question actually, because most things that annoy us do so because they mirror something in ourselves that we are not happy with subconsciously, or they set off triggers for issues stuffed down, laying dormant and unhealed. I will still … Continue reading Trigger

Trees
I watched a documentary about the Orang Rimba, a tribe in Indonesia whose very name, Rimba, means forest. True to their name, they live entirely within it, their lives woven inseparably with the trees. A newborn is given a guardian tree (Scyma sp.), while their placenta is buried beneath a Gonocaryum gracile tree—both of which … Continue reading Trees
Hope
Some days feel like a game rigged against you. The universe, with its twisted sense of humor, throws challenge after challenge as if daring you to say, "Seriously? What now?" Today is one of those days for me. My energy is low, my patience thinner than my morning green tea, and every little and big … Continue reading Hope
Wintering
Some days, I feel like I can take on the world—racing through to-do lists, making things happen, standing strong against every challenge. But then, there are days like these. Days when the weight of everything settles deep in my bones, when even the simplest tasks feel impossible. For the last three days, all I’ve wanted … Continue reading Wintering
Space
Our living space mirrors our inner space While my mother likes to fill every corner of our living space with things, I find consolation in a wide clean space. I cherish the clean countertop, clean tables and neat clothes cupboards. Admittedly I am not always like this, no... This shift happens slowly. I did have … Continue reading Space

Ah, but what could go right my dear? Everything! Tonight I could sleep well with an ideal composition of deep sleep, light sleep and REM. Tomorrow I will wake up earlier than usual, then I'll do the yoga stretches, and perhaps sleep a little more at the savasana moment- I always sleep at the savasana … Continue reading Right
Gentle
I don't think anyone will ever understand the amount of violence to become this gentle.Celebrating Woman's Day 8th of March Toni Morison once said that you have to experience the fall to the deepest bottom, face self-loathing and then.... Somehow you find a way to get back and in that journey , you learn to … Continue reading Gentle
The price
Lately, the news has been filled with stories that make it hard to believe in fairness. Corruption, greed, and injustice seem to dominate the headlines, and it’s frustrating to see those with more still wanting more, while others struggle with less. It's truly stunning how the super rich seem to care only about growing their … Continue reading The price
Protection
You've been through the fire, watched the old version of yourself crumble, and from those ashes, you built something sacred. Not a peace that was given to you, but one you had to bleed for,fight for, and pull from a chaos that triedto swallow you whole. This is your peace, earned throughthe storm, crafted by … Continue reading Protection
Angry
“You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. … Continue reading Angry
