Happy Thursday friends! I've really been flexing my writing muscle the past few months, and I love it! Whether it's here or on my substack, it's been really nice to share various aspects of my mind and heart with you all. And more importantly these fun "few random things" posts. They're the best way to just brain dump things that may not have context with each other, but here we are.
Let me start by saying that I've been on a spiritual road trip for the past week! I was at a Gurupurnima event this past week, and just made it to South Carolina for a Sri Aurobindo Conference followed by a meditation retreat starting Monday. It's been so great to re-awaken/energize/kindle this part of my being which has been a little dormant the past year. I mean, life happens, and as Ayurveda teaches us (and subsequently I teach in my Ayurveda classes) that you have to roll with the punches. But, after only 5 days in, I feel very much realigned with the definite fact that I have to prioritize my spiritual growth and create space for that no matter what. At today's session in the Aurobindo Conference, one of the speakers mentioned that you have to read (or fill in the blank with what parts of your sadhana mean the most to you)...just a few minute every day. Even if its just one page...do something. Let it churn. Let it become part of you. Let that content shape and construct your future self. I'm feeling ready to take on the rest of this year with a fresh perspective on life and just an excitement that I feel connected with the things that mean the most to me. So, yay! Spirituality works y'all! Anyways, here we go--a few random things.

Gurupurnima. Not just any other day in the year. As a kid, I never put too much emphasis on this day, even though it was celebrated throughout my life. (Funny, how this has been the true story of my life--finding value 20 years later). But, nonetheless, I have grown to appreciate this holiday and what it brings to our life. And I thought, why not revisit with all of you.
Here we go. Gurupurnima. You want to know one of my favorite things about Ayurveda? There's no limitations. What do I mean by that? Well, there's nothing that is TRULY bad and nothing that is TRULY good. If anyone from the Ayurveda world tells you this, run quick--because they're not practicing ayurveda.
As practitioners, we inherently believe, by the classical Ayurvedic texts that everything is medicine and everything is poison. |
