Welcome

I originally began, and titled, this blog when I traveled to India for 6 months in 2011. I ended up helping the royal Panwar family start an organic farm, cultural conservation center, and hotel in the foothills of the Himalayas, 6 hours drive north of Delhi. Hence the blog posts from four years ago depicting those wonderful travels. I often think fondly of the kind people I know there.....

Happily I am continuing this blog, and keeping the name. My intention is to engage with and bear witness to the shift in consciousness I believe is happening all around the world. It is a miracle to be able to join people everywhere who are healing ourselves, each other, and the Earth through discovering the unity and the freedom of being alive.

On this journey though our magical world, we become aware of how we create our inner and outer world as one. Let us be true to ourselves, that we might inspire each other! Witnessing so many ways of life, we recognize to the archetypal spiritual forces vying for the world, disguised in the veils of our personal story lines and ordinary lives. Every moment is a sacred offering, when we decide which ones we serve.

I will be posting draft chapters of my first novel, "Otherwise What?, as they become available. Most recent posts appear on top. Thank you for reading :)

Yoga

I am still helping with the project involving organic/biodynamic farming, conserving Himalayan heritage and  reviving traditional local styles of art.  I am taking a little time out from the reality of the material world and the personality to practice yoga. I am studying with two amazing teachers. The physical body is merely as a means to align the more subtle bodies with the universal spirit which enlivens us through the breath. To do this the mind must be reverent and aware of the grace that blesses us with each and every inhale and exhale. Every transient system of the body relies on the breath to survive. This universal force sustains us without asking anything in return. With proper alignment of our mini microcosms (the body) with the macrocosm, the human being can transcend and evolve tremendously, or so I have been told. I am only a beginner! Life is truly a gift.
I practice for four hours a day, and in between I help my friends, who live a 30 minute bus ride away, with the nuts and bolts of starting this living museum. It is a big project, and one day hopefully it will take on a life of its own, combining the best of the old with the best of the new. Now it is a lot of work and a wonderful inspiring opportunity!
