Hello! I'm Christina! I'm so happy that you're here. I'm a Master's student and Registered Yoga Teacher based in Ontario, Canada. I currently work as a Counsellor for survivors of gender-based violence, and have previously worked in the youth care sector, the anti-trafficking sector, and the substance abuse treatment sector with people who were incarcerated.
Through both personal and professional experience, I have noticed a link between experiencing existential meaninglessness/disconnection from one's true Self and human suffering. For example, many of the clients I've worked with have expressed that they have a "void" in their life, or that they don't know who they really are. Sometimes, there is an activating event that causes a person to disconnect from their Self. Other times, a person may have gone through their life on autopilot, making surface-level decisions to seek pleasure and avoid pain, thinking this was the "normal" way to live. This observation, combined with the realization that Western psychology tends to reduce human beings to a mere collective of thoughts, feelings, biological happenings and socio-cultural influences, ignoring centuries of Eastern teachings on the more subtle metaphysical, energetic aspects of the human psyche, brought my dream of Searching for Savasana to life.
I believe that Eastern philosophical teachings, specifically those from Yogic Philosophy, Taoism and Buddhism, can help fill the "void" in us that Western psychology may have left behind. I believe that human beings are sacred, complex and multi-dimensional, and that integrating and accepting all parts of one's Self can create the conditions for increased existential meaning and improved psycho-social wellbeing.
I hope you find the articles in this blog useful, interesting and meaningful.
