Today we visited the proposed site for the new Paramanand Ashram. It was about an hours drive away from where we are currently located in a rural area, further away from the hustle and bustle of Indore. It is set to be opened in approximately two years and while there was not much to see in terms of buildings, the scenery was breathtaking and there is no doubt the new ashram will flourish. We headed out at about 6.30am and packed our breakfast to eat there. Usually for breakfast we have a dish called poha along with our fruit, poha is basically rice flakes that you soak and then fry with mustard seeds, tumeric and corriander. It is delicious and im bringing the recipe home. We did our morning practice over there and tried something different.......we kept our eyes closed for the whole class. The purpose of this was to come deeper into the practice and to bring greater awareness to what the body and mind are doing. It was a great experience and I encourage everyone to try this at least once, it brings a new dynamic to the practice and a deep sense of peace. The other senses start to work a little harder and you start to breathe deeper, feel more and hear more. Upon opening our eyes, the world seemed brighter and more beautiful. What an awesome morning, enjoy your weekend yogis.
Namaste,
