There's nothing like being back to a full-scale snowstorm and writing about one's trip to sunny and warm India! This photo is one of the most 'tourist-y' ones I have of my trip. Plenty of surprises in India, among them the fact that the charger didn't work for the digital camera I had borrowed, so I have no photos of my own. This photo was taken after I had 'taken a dip' in the Ganges, as Indians call it, referring to submersing oneself three times in the river so as to let it wash away all conditioning and karmic traces that obscure the light of our true nature. Fully dressed, in the case of women, in order to respect Indian custom. This was just one of many adventures -- most of them were more inner, though, such as going to see a number of spiritual teachers.
Another one of my adventures was that I was able to share one of my chants with Mooji, one of the more well-known satsang teachers there, and his community, as you can see below:
India is such an experience, it's hard to put it in words. Cows and dogs on the streets everywhere, dust and dirt, beautiful colors, wonderful food, outwardly very noisy for Western ears and inwardly deeply silent and wise, drawing on tens of thousands of years of spiritual life. Beyond that, you'll have to visit to see for yourselves!
Meditation: 'The deepest Peace, the most spacious Love'
Drawing on the blessings from India, the theme for the next few meditation evenings and the next meditation retreat day will be 'The deepest Peace, the most spacious Love'. The next meditation evening is coming up this Thursday, 16 March 2017, and the next meditation retreat day will take place on Saturday, 25 March 2017. More info about the meditation events on the meditation page.
Office and skype news
I'll be back in the office in Montreal on Thursdays as from this week, 16 March, and I'm also exploring office possibilities in the area around Hemmingford. In these days of easy internet access, I'm also available on skype. I even did an 'emergency session' with a client from Montreal while in India. So much is possible when there is a need to connect and receive help!
More news soon as I'm getting more settled in again and as spring is on its way, with life emerging in all sorts of new ways. For now, a quick reminder of my new phone number: 514.733.5204. The two best ways to reach me are by e-mail or by calling the new number.
Wishing us all an easy end to the winter, and a swift transition into spring!
Sending my love,
grace
