My journey
In and around India
Well, I leave for India tomorrow! I just finished a delicious early Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. I feel thankful, excited, sentimental, a little sad, and a little in shock. I am excited to journal throughout my trip with this blog and be able to share my journey with those of you interested at home. It will mean a lot to me to know you are reading some of my experiences, imagining where I am, and sending emails, support, love and energy my way. Thank you in advance for that!
This trip has been forming as a dream since I started to practice yoga in 1999. My practice has become very important to me and the more I have practiced and learned, the more I desire to know about the roots, philosophy, and way of life of yoga, and Indian culture and tradition. I feel like it is a vocation and calling for me to truly learn more about the healing potential of yoga. Also, as my practice has connected me with my own body, heart and spirit, I want to further explore my connection with spirt and higher energy beyond my self. Anyway, I have a lot to do, see, feel, and explore in India! I don't mean to have too many hopes and expectations. I go with an open heart and mind, what is meant to occur will occur, both the wonderful and the challenging. I think I certainly have an interesting adventure in store for me!
