“A guru is whatever it is that removes darkness from you, whatever it is that illuminates you. That’s going to include all of the difficult experiences you’ve had in your life from which you’ve learned, and all of the great experiences that you have in your life from which you learn.”
~

It was such a joy to celebrate Guru Purnima last night at the .

Guru: teacher
Purnima: full moon

Guru Purnima is a night to honor the teachers who have guided us on our path and reminded us that all of the light we seek is within.

This celebration occurs once a year on the full moon after the summer solstice. It is a time to look back at the previous 12 months, reflect on how we’ve grown, and recommit to our continued evolution.

We started the evening with a special gratitude ceremony. Each student got to offer a flower at the end of the ceremony and make a “boon”, or a wish, for the year ahead. This wish is meant to benefit both the individual and the collective.

Then we meditated together followed by a group discussion. We also ate yummy desserts to symbolize the sweet and fruitful guidance we’ve received from our teachers.

It is also recommended to spend time in the moonlight on Guru Purnima. The “Soma Chandra”, or spiritual quality of the moon, is said to have a deeply auspicious and healing effect on this night.

This gathering is open to all Vedic meditators, so if you’re interested in joining next year, let’s chat! ✨🌝✨

✨ Exploring the Veda: Part 3 ✨

What an expansive weekend! Over the course of 3 days, we gathered in the peaceful atmosphere of , immersing ourselves in profound Vedic wisdom, guided by the brilliant teachings of .

Together, we learned about the Vedic perspective on time and space, nourished ourselves with delicious Ayurvedic meals, and enjoyed the abundant nature surrounding the center.

My favorite part about these weekends is watching transformation unfold in real time. I feel so fortunate to be facilitating these retreats.

The Vedic Perspective on Decision-Making:

We tend to take decisions way too seriously. Usually because we’re afraid of getting it wrong or want to make the “perfect” choice. So we stall, get stuck, and feel stagnant.

We’ve all been at a dinner table when someone takes forever to order. It strains the environment and creates tension. The same thing happens in life when we are indecisive. Nature starts to scream: “Just choose something, anything!”

It’s actually better to make a decision and get real-life feedback than to stay frozen in overthinking. Decisions give us high-grade information based on experience. Overanalyzing before deciding gives us low-grade information based on speculation.

If we make the wrong choice, no problem, we can pivot, laugh it off, and try again. Forward movement is key. Action is always better than analysis paralysis.

When we have a practice like Vedic Meditation, our awareness refines, and we get better at following charm (the subtle pull of intuition guiding us toward evolution). Eventually, this mechanism becomes the ultimate decider. There is no more indecision because knowingness takes over.

“Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness—fullness of Self, all is accomplished.” ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Simple. Natural. Innocent.

Three qualities that hold deep wisdom and bring more flow and ease to life.

✨ Simple

To be clear, undistracted, and aligned. No need to complicate things.

Letting go of overthinking and overwhelm and embracing the next right step.

Less drama. More clarity.

🌿 Natural

Moving with our own rhythms and accepting the timing of things.

Letting go of rushing, controlling, and comparing. Allowing life to unfold without manipulating it.

No longer pretending to be anything we’re not, because we’ve come to enjoy our authentic selves.

🌼 Innocent

Showing up with curiosity instead of control.

Having more openness, reverence, and a willingness to be surprised.

Surrendering the need to know how things will turn out. Getting comfortable with the unknown.

🌊🌊🌊

This is our natural way of Being—pursuing desires from a softer, more genuine place. And when we need a reminder, we can return to these words to gently ease the moment.

Three Laws of Nature: Creation, Maintenance, and Destruction

As we move through life, we’re always cycling through these three phases, sometimes all at once. Understanding them helps us recognize the deeper mechanics at play in our lives.

Here’s a quote to keep in mind as we examine these phases:

“Embrace the unknown with enthusiasm. The unknown represents the field of all possibilities. It represents the field of progressive change itself. The ever-repeating known, that is that which we know already, represents the field of stagnation.” ~ Thom Knoles

✨Creation: New beginnings, fresh energy
• Example: Starting a new project, relationship, or job
• Feels like: That spark of something new calling you. Stepping into the unknown, where all possibilities live.
• Quote connection: Unknown = Possibility = Creation

🌿Maintenance: Nurturing what still serves
• Example: Taking care of things you’ve already created or that are still important
• Feels like: The steady, reliable energy of preserving what’s good. But staying here too long can lead to stagnation.
• Quote connection: Honor what’s working, but stay open to change.

🔥Destruction: Letting go to make space
• Example: Ending a relationship, quitting a bad habit, or leaving an old job
• Feels like: Might be uncomfortable at first, but ultimately leads to something more evolutionary.
• Quote connection: Let go = Space for new = Progress

Whatever phase you’re in, know it’s part of your evolution. Ride the wave. Welcome the change. Let it take you forward. 🌊

Thursday, March 20th, is the Spring Equinox, representing the beginning of a new season. The word equinox is Latin for “equal night,” symbolizing the balance of day and night at this time of year. 

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and creation. Here are five ways to honor these themes:

🌷Set intentions: This is a powerful time to plant seeds for what you’d like to cultivate in the coming months.

🌷Host a spring potluck: Each guest can bring a dish with their favorite seasonal ingredients.

🌷Watch the sunrise & sunset: Tuning into the sun’s rhythms deepens our connection with nature.

🌷Clear space for new energy: Declutter what no longer serves you and refresh your space with colorful flowers, new art, or a spring-scented candle.

🌷Soak up the fresh air: Take a nature walk, read outside, or visit a local farmer’s market.

However you choose to celebrate—through ritual, gathering, or quiet moments in nature—may this season bring you growth and inspiration. 🌿

I saw these words at Sivananda’s Ashram in Rishikesh, and they’ve stayed with me ever since. In an ever-changing world, these simple truths can be a powerful anchor:

🤝🏼SERVE: Whenever we find ourselves caught up in our busy minds, service is a way out. How can we show up with more presence for those around us? Maybe it’s offering a listening ear, smiling at a stranger, or supporting a cause close to our hearts. Service looks different for everyone, but the key is to stay awake to the needs of others.

♥️LOVE: Let’s lead with love. The world is aching for it right now. When chaos surrounds us, it’s easy to retreat into fear and stress, to close off. But instead, let’s soften. Let’s open our hearts, even when it feels hard. Love generously, offer kindness freely. Everyone could use a little extra warmth right now.

🧘🏻‍♀️MEDITATE: Make meditation non-negotiable. It relieves stress, brings clarity, increases happiness, and builds stability. When we commit to our meditation, everything else flows—our ability to serve, to love, to meet the world with steadiness.

🌌REALIZE: Meditation reminds us of what we truly are—not just our thoughts, our worries, or our personal story—but the vast, cosmic intelligence experiencing life through us. When things feel overwhelming, zoom out. Remember: you are both the individual and the infinite. This shift in perspective can be so helpful.

Winter is a time to slow down, to reflect, and to rest. There’s no rush to set goals or force change just because a new year is beginning. Nature moves at its own pace, and so can we.

Growth doesn’t have to be hurried. It happens quietly, in its own time.

This season, let’s give ourselves permission to pause, to trust the process, and to embrace the stillness. How are you slowing down this winter?
