In the past couple of weeks I have been giving some more therapies… they were going really well. I feel although by working with Iris that one week in México a month ago helped my therapy and my meditation is helping my channeling, or just being present.
I had some really nice compliments from my clients- which is just really satisfying, and encouraging… helps me a lot to know people are enjoying their experience and want to have more therapies with me.One person asked me after the session ¨Do you know what you want in life?¨I can`t remember my answer, but I think it was along the lines of just, continuing to grow and learn and help… and the person told me that they can tell I am doing what I am suppose to be doing. That when I am in that room (therapy room) I am no longer just a young, blond chick from Saskatchewan… 🙂  And that was such a beautiful compliment.
It means how I felt and feel during therapies is being picked up on.
Also, I am more than just myself when I am giving therapies. I am channeling energy from Lord Dhanvanatri and sometimes also use Reiki… and also channel my own universal energy now that I am becoming more sensitive. I think Vipassana meditation is helping with that. I cant wait for my internship to begin working with my clients with their diet and lifestyles. I can`t wait for the progress I will make after giving and receiving more therapies while in Colombia during my Bliss Therapy and basti therapy course.

I just finished my last meeting with my master teacher for the past 8 months or so.
My Pitta side, wanted to talk facts and find out details about my exam of where I could improve and what I need to work on- and I was ready for her to give me some tips and advice and even criticism… but the conversation wasn`t geared to satisfy my Pitta… it was more to help calm it… and to cultivate compassion and understanding. I see this now, only 5 minutes after.

She reminded me that text book things, can always be looked at in the textbooks and online resources. Some people remember technical information and others dont absorb as much and they can look it up, being a good practitioner is more than just that. Its living the life. It`s absorbing the living knowledge and embodying it.  That Ayurveda is a thing that we will be studying for the rest of our lives and that most things that people do it takes some time of living and doing it – that they become confident in it.
So for me- I first came into contact with Ayurveda in 2014- it`s now 2019.
I also started studying Spanish in 2014- and it`s now 2019.
My Spanish still is not very good, but I am understanding it a lot more and finally at a level where when people send me messages I only need to use google translate sometimes and I can manage around town and doing many things with out the help of a translator, and in a few days I will travel to a Spanish speaking country without fear- and begin courses in Spanish. I still dont know a lot. I still cant express myself about many things and dont know how to use certain tenses. I don`t understand all the expressions and how to use them, or Spanish songs and their meanings and the Latino way of thinking… but I have an idea and I am learning more.
The same with Ayurveda… I understand a lot, I studied in two great courses and I have been living Ayurveda (not perfectly but consistently), I understand many of it`s main terminology and ideas but there is so much more to know. So only with time, can one become fluent in another language… and in a ancient living science.
Time, practice, being immersed.

Immersion. This is my theme for this next month. Immersion of Spanish and Ayurveda, as I go live at the Ayurvedic Retreat center in Machéta for 20-27 days.
