It was a big new moon energy for release last night. A perfect time to attend a Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat. Here I am getting my sacred thread of blessings and protection from Ganga on masik Shivratri.
Ganga is a frequency that neutralizes emotional charge and facilitates release. Ganga literally heals you, and you over time come to learn this through your own individual experience and how this feels in your body and how manifests in your life.
Our beautiful friend Jalpa (who was with us when Sarju & I first me and got married) was visiting with her mother, and she extended her stay to be able to have the private Aarti ritual here.
After being told the bookings were full and accepting and walking away - Ganga, as always for us came through, with front row seats and one private ceremony (we asked for 2, but hardly we were about to complain).
As always, thank you Ganga my absolute love 🌸💗, thank you existence, thank you life 🙏💫✨.

Sacred fire for worship
Offering Ganga water after our personal ritual. The ritual progresses with first washing our hands, then you drink the Ganga water and bless ourselves with the remainder. Throw rice in the different directions of North, East, South and West. Have the sacred thread tied around our arms, which remains as a spiritual talisman to ward off negative energy, evil eyes, and bring divine blessings.
One thing we love about living here is that when our friends come to visit, we get to be part of their life long special memories. And obviously we also get to show them how to be with Ganga.
This is not something everyone who just comes to visit will understand.
Aarti was the wish of Jalpa’s mum, so this was really cute to be able to bring her here.
Also for me, because I meditate through Aarti every single day, it’s beautiful to drop into the energy of the Triveni Ghat Aarti too (I’ve done this Aarti before, so watching the process is not always necessary
