I got stuck here. Twice.

The first time, back in August I missed my bus as I sprained my ankle while carrying my bags to the bus. The second time, more recently, I missed a flight to Goa because I had to pause my third panchakarma treatment due to a cold. Both times I had plans to travel with my tribe. Both times I was disappointed initially, but these experiences are teaching me that there is always a reason things turn out a certain way and everything always happens for my highest good. I’m learning to trust this.

If I hadn’t sprained my ankle I wouldn’t have fallen in love with Ayurveda in the way that I have. As I couldn’t physically move, I had a chance to reflect on why I felt I always had to keep moving. It was the pause that I needed to realise that exploring a new place would not bring me the same satisfaction as getting myself healthy and balanced in order to help others live a more balanced, happy life.

Since September, I have gone through an intense physical and emotional cleansing experience during the three panchakarma treatments. It wasn’t easy: drinking ghee, emotional ups and downs, solitude, eating a diet that seems weird to me and others… But as time went on I experienced a mental clarity I had never felt before. My body began giving me signals, letting me know what I should and shouldn’t eat and my unhealthy cravings disappeared. I now feel more clear, confident and happy.

Along with the Panchakarma I also studied for 3 months with Dr Arun Sharma. This has been a life changing experience and has empowered me with a slice of ancient knowledge. I am really grateful the sprain made me pause here and am looking forward to sharing more snippets of my journey with you.

If I hadn’t got ‘stuck’ here for a second time, I wouldn’t have experienced this magical snowfall which apparently is rare for the area.

As I sit here, writing this, I am wearing 5 layers of clothing, covered in 6 layers of blankets, breathing steam, with no electricity or hot water… I laugh at the minds reactions. I am lucky to have all that I have. Brief discomfort is turning into excitement as I look forward to what this journey will uncover next 💃🏻💓🙏🏼

May 2019 bring you all the magic that you dream of, amazing adventures, loving relationships but most of all may it bring you happiness.

As I am reflecting on 2018 all I feel is gratitude. It has not been the easiest year but it has taught me a lot. Heading into 2019 I am feeling like an upgraded version of myself. More calm. More compassionate. More confident. More me.

I have a lot of people and experiences to thank for this but practicing and studying Ayurveda has been one of the most life changing highlights. It has helped me come back to being me. More on this in another post.

Right now I’d like to express my deep gratitude for the people in my life, my mum, the sisters I’ve met this year, Dr Arun Sharma and the beautiful town of Baghsu, India… Life has been a magical adventure in 2018 and I am excited for the adventures 2019 will bring.

Merry Christmas from the Himalaya’s!

During this time of giving, I wanted to share a story with you all in hope of inspiring you to also pay it forward.

About a week ago I was lucky enough to meet two beautiful children who have had a rougher start in life than most of us have come across. They asked me for money and when I offered them ‘kana’ (to eat) instead, their eyes lit up.

I am aware there are a lot of scams out there, especially in India, where children are used in the form of income, but I just couldn’t turn away from two pairs of hungry eye’s, scam or not. I took the pair to a local restaurant where they were eagerly awaiting their thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup). While we waited the older boy attempted to read the English menu, stumbling over the letters. The little girl ran out for a few minutes and came back with some donated apples, which she was extremely happy about. The pure excitement and joy of sitting in a warm restaurant was evident in both of the children and at this point I realized, it doesn’t matter why they are begging – they are hungry and if £2 can make their life a bit brighter, even just for a moment, it’s worth it.

Upon leaving the restaurant, the boy asked “Can you buy warm jacket?”. Again, the conditioned mind’s first thought was of another scam, in which you’re taken to a shop to purchase over priced items which are then resold to others, with the kids getting nothing. After walking around for a few minutes and asking the prices of different stores, I had an idea to take them to a local second-hand store.

This is where all the magic happened. The kids were so excited looking through piles of clothing, I knew this was an experience they’ve never had. The girl was picking out all of the fluffy, baby clothes that were way too small for her, and the boy was very responsibly picking out clothes that were warm. We walked away with 7 items for about £3.

I am not sharing this story for praise or inflation of my ego. I am sharing this, so that maybe it inspires you to pause and offer something to someone who may be in need this winter season and beyond. Your action may just brighten someone’s life, even if just for a moment. 🙏❤ @ Macleodganj, Himachal Pradesh, India

My dear friend Laura from The Mango Wisdom is running some great workshops in London and other places in the UK, on Ayurveda and healthy living. Check out her page and video for more information on why these workshops are worthwhile attending.

Personally I've found studying Ayurveda life changing so highly reccommend anyone interested to attend a workshop with Laura :)

Long time no post! For anyone wondering what I’ve been up to in the last few months... not only have I been making new furry friends, but I’ve also been doing a lot of learning and healing. There has been a few things keeping me busy: meditation retreats, the study of Ayurveda, perfecting my massage skills, reflexology, reiki... I’ve even cleansed my body through panchakarma (Ayurvedic cleanse). These practices are now part of my daily routine and healing toolbox. I very much look forward to sharing my learnings with you in the near future 🙏🏼❤️
