My first visit to India was in 2011. I went to teach several month-long yoga intensives back to back. 😳😝.
The first two months were very difficult for me. It felt impossible for me to get comfortable amidst the chaos and the mess.
Then something shifted.
My teacher, Prem Baba told a story recently about his teacher giving him the advice to “Visit Varanasi through the eyes of the heart, and not the mind. India is a place that if you just look at the external, you’ll miss it completely. You’ve got to go inside your heart for its mystery to reveal itself to you.”
This has been my experience. I feel more in touch with the deepest places in my heart when I am here. I am lighter than when I arrived.
I feel so much gratitude for the holy field of the Kumbh Mela, the healing flow of Ganga Ma and to my Beloved teacher . Thank you for teaching me how to see with the eyes of the heart. ❤️
Until we meet again.
