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
Beauty
When I was very very young, probably 10 or 12, I used to want a flat stomach, low-rise jeans, and a cropped top. I grew up watching Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera music videos, where being skinny wasn’t just normal—it was the ultimate goal. And even though I’ve been slender most of my life, I … Continue reading Beauty
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?"

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.

Cycle
It's a hard day today. I'm on my period; heaviest flow, while the workload was crazy. I survived another day. Everything has its cycle, just like my period. It signals the need to pause, to rest. Pause, breathe, this too shall pass Karin Sabrina
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
Right
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
