INDIA – LIFE IS THE PRACTICE ♥️ Checked mys

INDIA – LIFE IS THE PRACTICE ♥️

Checked myself into an ashram for 10 days. Checked myself out after 2. Why? Because it was serving my ego way more than my heart. Proving to myself (and probably the rest of the world) that I can endure 10 days of suffering in devotion. Only to come to the realization that I don’t need to force myself into a hardcore practice to come back to myself – life will give me that opportunity in each and every moment. It’s up to me if I can stay with my practice – without my yogamat and sacred temples. Life is the practice.

I AM

The biggest gift from the ashram is realizing that I don’t need to work my way through crowds of people to get a compassionate embrace from Amma. It’s about putting myself first and compassionately embracing all that I am – especially the parts that I want to run away from the most. And right now, I find that extremely difficult when so many things seem to slip away. To hold (on to) myself, instead of clinging to external things like my house, a career, love, this trip – all as a means to identify who I am. It’s not even about reciting mantras such as ‘I am enough’ anymore. It’s about coming back to the simplicity of I AM - all of it. Without fear of not being enough or being too much and to relax into (my) being. It’s a journey to say the least.

The thing that irritates me the most is that it is a recurring journey. I found myself in this exact same spot 5 years ago. Same story, different coat. The mind playing the same tricks. Luckily I now have a few more tools to recognize it faster but that doesn’t mean I feel less ashamed or that it hurts less – especially when the brightest lights around me have the courage to remind me to BE instead of DO when I lose sight of the pattern again. Feeling extremely grateful for the people in my life that see and love me for who I truly am, beyond the doing. If only I could do the same. For now, that will be my practice – offline and in solitude.

See you on the other side ✌🏻♥️

WHY (DID I LEAVE) ?

Nope, not on (another) spiritual journey. More like a relaxed business trip to take the first step into realizing my big dream 🤍
