about me
Good morning guys…So my name is Lyangmit Lepcha. I am from Gor, Lower Dzongu, North Sikkim.
My name means princess of a place since “lyang” means place and “mit” means princess.
I think I value myself, I mean my presence itself. I don’t know if it makes sense.
This is something really new for me. I am really introverted and this is totally out of my comfort zone but I hope I will learn, grow and change.
What is storytelling to me?
I never really thought about storytelling before but now that I came to know of its versatility …I think it’s very interesting.

What is sacred to me?
Holy, deity.
Finding my sacred place
So here’s my art that represents my sacred place I guess. Actually I was not sure about the sacred place in my last session but I did have to imagine myself in an open area filled with nothing but green grass and today the same place occurred but with additional elements like water and a tree… I don’t know if I had ever given so much time for myself like we are always indulging in other stuff.. …but in this sacred place I gave that special time to myself ,connected and had a peaceful moment with myself… I never imagined that breathing could be this magical like we just know that plant give us oxygen and we are able to breathe but I am amused over the fact that we actually breathe to live and I think we should be thankful that we breathe and are living a life . (don’t know if I am making sense). So I sincerely wanna thankyou respected Arundati maam for giving this opportunity to find my inner peace and to connect with myself and have a magical experience.
I also had a similar experience, the first day my sacred place was just the lotus I was sitting on, I saw the petals, the colours, the fine pollen, but the second day I started to see, the elements around the lotus, the water it was surrounded by, the fishes and the pebbles in the water, the birds, the sun. And it just reminded me of Anom Minket saying that our scared place is a big one and I have a feeling that it will take another day, another session of earth and wave breath with ourselves to discover more of that sacred place.
Thank you Anom Arundhati, Anom Mjnket and Anom Jenny for the wonderful session and for teaching me *the value of our breath, I suddenly realise how beautiful it is to be breathing yet how delicate that if it stops, life ceases to exist and yet we are so busy we never pay heed to it. Conscious breathing is what we should take out little time for and practice everyday.
I as a Lepcha
