4 years have passed since you stepped into the light.

The waves of grief no longer carry the weight of a Tsunami,
Sometimes it’s still stormy and sobering
Sometimes it’s a gentle reminder of ebb and flow, of change, of being alive.

4 years can feel like 40 years, or 4 months, or 4 days, or 4 seconds
Somedays I still feel the warmth of your embrace, the tickle of your laughter, the purity of your love
Somedays I still feel your pain, your longings, your strife and your despair, of not being heard, witnessed, understood.

4 years since you closed your eyes and we closed the door
4 years of trying to make sense of who was the one bidding farewell
4 years of walking amidst the shadows of my monsters, of not being able to say I love you once more.

4 years but the time has never been gone
Your hand is always holding mine
As you gently whisper…

Let there be no darkness in your heart.

At certain points in our lives, we are bound to experience some form of pain. Chronic pain can become too familiar, and it is easy to fall into the trap of identifying with the state itself – we may even begin to despise the pain, and play the victim.

I share a little on the ability to shift perspectives when we create a relationship with pain. A relationship in which we get curious about our pain, viewing it as a supportive messenger towards greater well-being.

This week dropping a conversation with Daphne Chua, founder of Somatic Therapy Asia @yogadaphne

A native Singaporean, Daphne grew up checking off all the boxes in life. A degree, a corporate job, successful until the 2008 financial crisis. From there her spiritual journey began where she found herself living a nomadic life, teaching yoga, falling in love, and a decade later reconnecting with her family, her roots and in the process uncovering her own inner healing journey. Tune in to learn more about Daphne’s journey and what Somatic Therapy is and we can all be more in tuned with ourselves in order to heal and change things in our lives!

Thanks, Daphne for sharing your story and for those in Singapore, PM Daphne if you are interested in learning more about her trainings and workshops!
