Anahata represents a deeply personal reclamation. After years of living through achievement, control, and external measures of success, I had lost touch with my own heart, emotions, intuition, and feminine nature. The lion represents the divine masculine, the part of me that, rather than overpowering and making the feminine hide, creates the safety for her to be fully expressed. He is not here to tame the garden but to protect it, so what is tender, intuitive, creative, and true can finally grow free.
