Love this Vaishali! Really beautiful article and the meaning we attach to the events of our lives have the ability to create or destroy. Victor Frankl’s book and message has impacted me profoundly and I appreciate the insights you share in such a wise and vulnerable way.
I am inspired by your spiritual and somatic-focused Substack and am excited to subscribe. I think you may enjoy mine, which features yoga poems from my manuscript, A Poem for Every Pose, and would love to invite you to subscribe to mine.

Lovely to meet you Corie! I had a peek at your substack and your poem about shoulderstand brought a smile. I never knew it was also called Candle Pose, how apt! Looking forward to reading more of your poems.
It’s a gift that you’ve transmuted your experience with pain into this share (and more). Reminds me of a quote that a friend shared with me just this week “I have made so much beauty from my pain sometimes I can’t tell the difference.” (quote by Emory Hall). I’m not intending to suggest that this is the meaning everyone would, or should, ascribe to their own experience with pain, but the intention of searching for “meaning” still carries through, just as you’ve offered here. Blessings and thank you Vaishali, for the chance to reflect on my own experience with pain through your transparency and reflection🙏
Ahh what a beautiful quote. Thank you for sharing. Btw, your reflections on cold water immersion inspired me in a practical way to use hot/cold therapy when I'm in pain 💙

Thank you, Ben. Frankl has been such an inspiration to me, in the past few years especially.
