Hi Asya,

Thank you for the reflections. They are very inspiring. It’s always a blessing to receive an honest reflection from someone who has walked a similar journey. I truly appreciate it.🙏

I process my emotions in different ways. One of my favorite processes is talking with plants and birds. I have a small terrace garden where I’ve planted veggies, herbs, and flowers. They are the closest ones within quick reach, and I feel completely accepted in their presence. Other ways I process are through writing, walking in nature, and of course, dancing and singing. But I’ve never processed anger through painting. I doubt whether my brushes can handle the intensity of anger—but I’m curious to try.

The suppressed sexuality ( I see it as suppressed emotions) is just the tip of the iceberg; there are much deeper layers beneath it. I am unravelling this by going intimate with it. This lifetime is truly a healing of many things.

The connection with the group of 9 has amplified my process and widened my inquiries. It feels like I am rediscovering India through my life. I’ve been working with many foundational layers. No wonder it surfaces as anger—that too is a part of me.

Two days ago, I watched an ad where a girl was trying to fly like a bird. She had to go through many challenges until she finally became the bird. Your words speak to me in exactly the same way.

Thanks again

With love
