WomenNow TV's video: Simple ways to de-stress stay calm with Ashima Sarin

Ashima Sarin is a kundalini yoga and certified Medical Qigong practitioner and a lover of the Sufi tradition. A marketer by profession, her passion has and will always be: words and their alchemy. She is the author of "108 Blessings". "This book is a revelation of my soul. It's my journey into myself and the alchemy that's emerged. Like many, I had developed an intimate relationship with grief, failure and struggles. But eventually my suffering reached a point where it had to break open, and when it did, I saw that all suffering came from my expectations, my perspective and my own unresolved wounds. I had to face the fact that I was in love with the stories I had created and held on to. Once I let go of what I think had happened to me, I found a sense of freedom. In the shedding of my past, I finally saw the beauty of my present. The seed of this love, like all beautiful things was love, love for self and for others. I embraced my vulnerability and allowed my heart to both give and receive more than it ever had. This book started, as blessings written for loved ones. In wanting the best for them, I found a way for me to help myself. In writing this, I found catharsis and it is these words that became the bricks that built my path from darkness to light."
