“These cosmic diagrams of the universe have served me a lot on a creative level. They helped me stabilize, integrate and rearrange my inner life. They helped me tremendously when I went through times of stress or when I couldn’t sleep thinking about the long injury I was facing. I recommend them to anyone who is having a hard time.
They are very therapeutic. We, tennis players, travel the world all the time, and having so much free time has been a blessing,” she commented.
