I am on a journey to become the most healthiest, happiest person that I can be, without packing up my bags, leaving my life as I know…my society and living off grid.
I like my life. I have a partner who is an amazing person, a very loving dog, I am living in an amazing place that brings me so much joy daily because here it is safe, warm, beautiful and peaceful. I love food and the different flavors of life. I like dancing, spending time with friends and family and all that comes with it. I enjoy having things to do in a day outside on my personal practice… My personal practice being a student of Ayurveda and Yoga.
I want to focus on my daily practice and master it, so I have a routine.
So that I have something concrete in my life.
So that I have a solid foundation to build upon.
We are the own masters of our universe. As an adult no one is making choices for me. I am, with or without knowing it, choosing every aspect of my life.
Right now I am a bit “flighty” and I need to bring myself down and to focus on this. I am going to have a challenge to do the same thing everyday, while continuing to do have spontaneity in my day…but I can do this. I have faith that I use the focus and hard work that I put outside into the work force… back into my own life.
I am also on a journey to become a teacher. I am a young Canadian woman who went to India and had her life change and now wants to share what she came across with her friends and family. Now that I have been practicing for a few years I see the change within myself… I feel the change. I am a stronger, more flexible, more sensitive person than I was 2 years ago. My memory has improved; I am understanding myself and my tendencies a lot more. I know that I am going to continue to evolve, however, I feel like I ready to begin my journey to begin serving others with my knowledge. All of the energetic healers and elders that I met in the past years have told me the same thing.
“ You are light, and you need to begin to heal and serve others.”
When they told me this, it made my heart very happy- and I thought I needed to purify myself more before I could heal others- but now I know that I am doing my best towards being a healthy energetic channel, however, only with the work of serving others will I reach my maximum potential.
I am also going to practice giving a mini lesson in either an Asana or Pranayama so that I begin learning how to verbalize instructions until I have some students 🙂 I will share my videos on here… and as I grow as an instructor, I will be able to see where I can improve in my instructions.
Journey with Yoga:
All my life I was a person who believed in God. I was a child who loved to play in nature and enjoyed the peacefulness of spending time alone in the fields, forest and water. I use to stretch and play in the water at my lake and enjoyed just sitting and drawing in the sand…pondering. I am from a beautiful, peaceful part of the world called Saskatchewan… where I was blessed to watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on a daily basis.
I never heard about meditation, yoga or energy when I was a kid. But I did hear about God. And I was connected to God. I felt God and his presence and I saw the angels in the clouds. I saw the beauty in all people and without realizing it I made space for connection with nature.
Now I still feel God, but I have just enhanced my understanding and my vocabulary- for what manifested in my life as God. Throughout 5 years of travel, I have met many different wise and beautiful people from all different religions, faiths and belief systems. There are many practices- that help many people. During this chapter of my life, I am learning how to connect to the same God, same energy that I had as a child while walking through the fields, same God that I bowed before in church. It’s the same sentiment- only now instead of looking outwards for my connection and answers- I am looking inwards. As I study and begin to practice the Yogic 8-stage path to enlightenment, I am taking the time to create an awareness about the truth within myself and my own reality that yesterday I didn’t realize. My aim in life is still to be a good person, treat all humanity with love, compassion and kindness and to serve others…but for my first time in life I am understanding some of the wisdom that was shared to me as a child. I am really understanding now how our bodies are our temples and I am understanding why doing certain things are bad and others are good. But not because of rules written – but by experimenting and observing how these things are being manifested in my life.
