Mirror of the Self

Poetry helps us to forget the hectic pace of everyday life in order to re-awaken the hidden, repressed and veiled aspects of ourselves. It gives us the courage and confidence to face pain and separation as well as pleasure and love, and connects us with the non-rational world that endows us with the power to listen to our inner voice.

My love of yoga and dance lends me the openness to encounter the light of my own centre in ever new ways. In the beauty of dance I see the transformation of the appearances of the Godhead as an innermost bond with the archetypes of our own nature.

In the old rituals of India, one of the most important cult objects was the looking glass, dedicated to the Goddess. In facing the mirror, I transcend my consciousness and gain a better understanding of the world.
