I just want to reassure everyone I am safe and well. Today is my last full day here and leave have asked us to limit calls and emails to really "soak up" the experience so u may not hear much from me today! But please don't worry! In fact I prefer u place your enery on 'she is safe and well'...
Yesterdays tour of the Ashrams was so profound. They are places of peace and worship unlike anything else I've ever experienced, welcoming all - even on a day that their country was bombed by terrorists because of Americans. They welcomed and blessed us with compassion and kindness.
On the way out of the Sivananda Ashram I was handed The Universal Prayer...
Grant us an understanding heart, equal vision, balanced mind. Faith, devotion and wisdom. Grant us inner spiritual strength to resist temptations and to control the mind. Free us from egoism, lust, hatred, anger and jealousy. Fill our hearts with divine virtues.
This is only part of it, but I wanted to share that. This is beyond what we know as "yoga" in our culture, but yoga is so much more than sculpting a strong flexible body. Its our actions -our Karma - that shape our experience as humans. And its our responsibility to rise up.
I can't wait to see you all when I return! The weather is so beautiful here - not sure I want to face the cold though!
Namaste
After the tour was the Havana and Puja ceremony. It was powerful beyond description.
