Clarity

India has a deep reservoir of spiritual energy. There are times I can feel it, and other times I am distracted and my senses are blunted. We have started our daily yoga classes here at Rajagiri. Everyday monday through saturday we have yoga at sunset. It's funny that a month of yoga here costs the price of one session in the US, and yet here it feels so pure and untouched by a western time is money mentality.

Today as we laid at the end of our session and chanted I felt tapped into the energy of India. Something about here feels like home, and I have no other words for it.

Today I watched some of the masters students play cricket, and tomorrow I will play with them. They play every weekday. They invited me to play with them... ha, and they're helping me with their names.

I feel so cleansed each day. It pours rain 5 to 6 times a day here and then the sun shows through the clouds. When I hear the rain a deep calm comes over me reminding me that I am exactly where I need to be. To add to this I have been running each day. The combination of running through the city and yoga has left me feeling filled up and peacefully exhausted when I climb into my mosquito net.

We have been meeting with NGOs each day to determine where we will each be placed for 6 months. So much is going on here that is so good. Language classes have also begun each morning. Sometimes I am lost and other times I do "nala" (good).

I'm so excited for my friday classes to begin.
