Retrieving a memorable testimony from -
Dearest Barbara Covert.
During the winter of 2017-2018 I spent a month in Goa, India. I’d traveled by myself for an exploratory adventure…I didn’t exactly know what I would find or what to expect. I was referred to Kamadevi by another traveler who recommended I see “this amazing woman for an intuitive massage”. And so I was introduced to Kamadevi. During the course of my month long stay in India I found myself being drawn to Kamadevi. I started to receive regular massage from her and often took yoga instruction from her in small groups. The vastness of her knowledge both surprised and awakened me to a realm of living I’d not previously experienced, nor knew much about. I wanted more of what she offered, more of what she embodied.
I asked Kamadevi to provide a working session with me one day to identify ways in which I could improve upon my yogic journey. I’m not sure I even knew what that meant at the time. I thought, in part, that when finished I’d be able to hold tree pose flawlessly while transcending earthly constraints using the vision from my newly identified third eye vision. To this day my tree pose is still wobbly, but my third eye has been awakened and I am able to journey into the universe with some ease and on a fairly regular basis. And that ability started with my work with Kamadevi.
It is hard to explain in my limited language of chakras, asanas, and the 8 limbs of yoga what occurred during my time with Kamadevi, but I can say this: her true nature is sublime. Her connection with the One is evident. Her intuitive knowledge is used for the good of self and others, and she has a passion within to share that knowledge. I could say I learned about yoga, chakras, and myself, but I learned so much more. I learned the Universe will support me, God is everywhere and that no matter what happens to me in this world I will be cared for. Perhaps an even bigger surprise is that these lessons planted within me during my work with Kamadevi have not faded, but have continued to grow and morph into greater depth and understanding. And that feels like the work and service of a spirit that I am so very grateful to have found myself aligned with.
On the more practical side Kamadevi provided me with a written follow up that contained suggestions for practices to continue my journey. I remain in contact with her and I look forward to the day when our paths cross once more, so I can again not only reap the benefits of her years of practice and enlightenment, but also just to spend time in her exquisite presence.
