Malika''s writing began spontaneously through the practice of meditation, where she began to translate the experiences; these writings often came through in the form of poetry or insights. This process has continued to unfold organically over the years, taking many forms, but it has ultimately become a way to express the deeper truths of love and acceptance she has come to know. Malika teaches meditation and yoga, and also produces music, as a way to help connect people to the deeper essence of their being.
