First day

We began our training today. It was absolutely incredible, no words can capture the emotions and thoughts swirling through my heart and soul. 

Lily, our guru (teacher), is phenomenal.  She's kind, warm, open and extremely well trained. In just our opening her philosophy was clear; everyone is in a different place and wherever we are is where we should be.

This training is designed to move each of us forward from wherever we are. The goal being eventual self realization; finding our own truth and thereby finding all truth (decades away). The next month will be devoted to understanding ourselves better, which will then better allow us to share this incredible experience with others. Through yoga we find a meditation practice that allows is to really look within. We have another incredible guru, Ramananda, to help further our pranayama and meditation practice.

I believe this is going to be the most impactful month of my life.

Today's MOL: sitting in the yoga shala, waiting to begin,  breeze floating through, wind chimes and birds singing,  butterflies in my stomach running a marathon. ..and Lily comes over,  smiles, asks my name and gives me a warm hug. Instant peace.
