Pain. I don’t like pain. Actually I would usually run away from it! I would watch a movie, eat a whole vegan menu in a restaurant, go shopping, change country if necessary ( yes I have done that 3 times already! ), tell myself a different version of the actual Truth and do all kinds … Continue reading Pain
As the years go by, life continually reminds me that yoga is an awesome blessing. It's a journey of gradual rediscovery and reconstruction of the self. As layers of resistance peel away, I feel like a snake shedding its skin over and over again. I remind myself to focus on the process of yoga practice … Continue reading
Mental accidents
Being human, you probably have mental accidents as I do. I could blame the stars, female hormones or the President of Russia, but the truth is it’s all in my mind. Once in a while many uninvited fear based guests visit me: jealousy, anger, frustration etc. They all bring that stinky scent of destructive energy … Continue reading Mental accidents
Glorious mornings!
There is nothing more magnificent than the feeling of inner peace with a heart full of love. That's the feeling which yoga practice can awaken. For me, completely different feelings are triggered when the alarm goes off at 4.30 am! But the anticipation of connecting to inner peace makes me jump out of bed with … Continue reading Glorious mornings!
One Heart one Love is my path to enlightenment!
Some powerful feelings and sensations have been rising within me here in India which have reminded me of a fundamental core truth, that I am really not interested if the teacher is able to do a handstand on one finger, can levitate or raise kundalini at cosmic speed and scan my chakras, past lives and … Continue reading One Heart one Love is my path to enlightenment!
Mother India
It feels like the stars are aligned for my trip to India !. After 24 hours flying I landed in Delhi. Passing through Hare Krishna singing, customs control and an ocean of locals who wanted to know me, constantly offering their services and nonstop smilling like they inherited the happy gene, all made me full … Continue reading Mother India
Authentic happiness!
Authentic happiness! It's an unsettling sensation when the mind believes something is lacking. We then find ourselves searching for external information, things, people, events to fill up the perceived void. Society and certain businesses support and exploit the concept that happiness will be ours once we get the latest version of i phone for example. … Continue reading Authentic happiness!
Authentic priorities!
Year after year I see the same pattern emerge in new yoga students. Initially there is very obvious enthusiasm and curiosity which is soon damped down with the realisation that this yoga thing requires dedication, commitment and patience. They then disappear for weeks or longer. Some Souls recognise what a powerful transformation tool it is … Continue reading Authentic priorities!
In the circle of Love and Light
My ideal way of having fun is to practice yoga all day long from 5 am till 5 pm. I am drawn to the invisible sweetness that yoga gives me. Somewhere in the middle of practice I find myself in a place where nothingness rules. There is stillness in my mind and connection with … Continue reading In the circle of Love and Light
Intention
When I fail and fail again, I often remember the extraordinary David Goggings and harness his never give up attitude to help me succeed in the end. In this world of distractions and gratifications the mind can become very weak and soft, making any difficulties which confront us appear bigger than we are, so creating … Continue reading Intention
