We’ve been exploring meditation in our studies while here in India and it has opened my mind to a more authentic practice than I’ve ever experienced before.
Today I was feeling the heat so chose to #meditate in one of the outside temples, this is one of the many beautiful temples here with the magnificent Ganesh 🐘 #om #meditateeveryday

Getting out into the ‘wilderness and countryside’ has always been my ‘thing’ and go-to way in life to gain perspective and sometimes clear my head. ..
Here in India this is certainly no exception.
I feel blessed to be here and every day surrounded by the beautiful mango trees and wonderful space that is Shanti Mandir.
..
As a little excursion, we decided to go further afield to explore the glorious hillsides and mountains: we spent the day trekking, discovering new flowers and trees, some treats on the way including Indian ice cream & sugarcane water plus of course a little bit of yoga just for fun!

The experiences here in India are such an array of sensory experiences, I can hardly describe it.
A few times in the past when I have spoken about India to those that have been, they have merely replied with the words ‘just go’ which i now totally understand. ..
It is a whole different way of life here and one that i have not had the pleasure of experiencing in my limited time on this planet.
..
Away from the studies, the inspiring sites and the spiritual side, there’s the shopping, wanderings around and perhaps even a glimpse into ‘every day life.’
..
Here’s a fun interaction from us, with a few snaps from shopping in the local town of ‘Valsad’ meeting some fabulous women who wanted to keep us in the store to interact and show us ‘more and more’ it was an experience indeed. They staff couldn’t give us enough, there was chai served with an array of staff gathering to giggle along to our ‘western ways’ of trying on bell anklets and gorgeous bracelets and rings.. ..
We even had an intro the owner and A glimpse of course at the puja which is all in a days shopping experience! ..
Thanks for a fun day Kim, Sam & Tanja

Whilst I know I am here in India for yoga and Philosophy studies, the call of creativity is never too far from my thoughts and indeed my grasp! ..
Every day the workroom for ‘Hasta Kala’ (see my previous post on sewing here!) opens its doors with an array of gorgeous voices chanting: “Joyta Se Joyta” which (in my limited experience) means “May the light of my heart kindle the light in your heart”
..
I can hear the whirring of sewing machines during the day as we discuss and practice yoga in the rooms opposite.
..
So it goes without saying that I have spent a little time in the workroom and have had the pleasure of discovering the fabulous haberdashery in the local stores.. ..
Here’s a little sneak peak of my wonderful haberdashery finds from a shopping trip that will be travelling along with me and onto the next chapter of this journey.
..
Who wants to sew with me?

Practicing ‘Seva’ (Sanskrit for ‘selfless service) is an important part of any spiritual and yogic journey. Today, it filled my heart with joy to have the time between studies, and adventures to spend some time in the sewing room with the magnificent ladies (and some men) at Shanti Hastkala - apart from being a gorgeous shop here at the ashram, it is an “organisation that has emerged from the community as a means of helping the poorest of India’s rural poor. Volunteers teach women simple handicraft skills, with a view to developing small-scale handicraft industries. The profits are used to train more women and to offer them viable and rewarding work opportunities”
🤞 I’m now hoping our favourite tote bag might be in production here too! ✌️ 🤞💕 #sewing #yoga #peacefulmindpeacefullife #yogaislife #bliss #shantimandir
