From India 🇮🇳 to Cozumel 🇲🇽 to New Brunswick 🇨🇦 in less than a week… ✨

Three places that each hold a special kind of magic for me.
Places that bring me a sense of belonging, healing, inspiration, and home. 🙏🏻💖

I’m feeling deeply grateful for these past months and for all the beautiful experiences, connections, lessons, and moments along the way. 🌎✨

And now, my heart is so happy to be back in New Brunswick for the summer and to reconnect with all of your beautiful faces in person again. 🥹🥰

So many exciting things are flowing into creation behind the scenes… 🪄

Stay tuned for upcoming offerings, gatherings, classes, and soulful experiences coming soon!🧘🏼‍♀️💫

Where the music met meditation ✨

The legendary Beatles Ashram, once home to the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and a sacred space where The Beatles came to deepen their practice of Transcendental Meditation 🧘🏽

Even if it was under restoration when I visited -and that I almost passed out from the heat 🥵🤣-, I could still feel a peaceful energy in this mesmerizing place where so much growth happened 🪄✨

The end is just the beginning✨

As this trip to India came to an end, I can say with all my heart that I’m leaving with more than a teacher training certification. I’m leaving this magical place with a heart full of memories. Strangers to friends. Chai addiction. The most beautiful people. Breathtaking art. Views that took my breath away. Energy that got straight to my soul. The most delicious food. All around magic. 🪄

India you live in my mind, body and soul and gave me so much inspiration on this journey forward! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻 ✨

If you’ve been following our journey through Natural_Dreamers, you know that the water element needs to be present in our lives 🌊 🫶 spending a month by the banks of the Ganges river, recognized as one of the most sacred rivers in the world, truly felt like a pure blessing. 🙏🏻
But it was a journey to go fully in and get purified fully.😅
read for the full story 👇

First, I dipped my toes in. Feeling the energy and connecting. 👣

Then, a few days after, I decided to go fully in for a dip, but the universe didn’t want me to fully cleanse from head to toe… 🤔😅
I was going in very slowly -it was actually quite chilly🥶- so I brought my attention to my chakras, and one by one, I submerged them inside Mother Ganga. I went all the way down to my throat chakra, and right when I was about to dunk fully in to purify my spiritual chakras, a police officer showed up and stopped me from going any further down ; turns out I was in a no bathing zone without knowing it🙈😅. I saw this as the universe telling me that my spiritual chakras weren’t ready to be purified just yet 🤣

So I waited until the time felt right. And when that time showed up for me, I went to a different area of the river 😬

And then I went in fully.
All chakras submerged.
A full reset.
A pure purifying moment.
-And the universe didn’t object this time 🤭

I feel blessed to have lived this divine experience with Mother Ganga! 🌊🪄✨
Thank you to my dear friend Sabine for capturing this divine moment of the full dip! I’m so grateful for you! 🥹♥️

Cows… Everywhere 🐮

At first, I’ll tell you the truth… hello overwhelming 🤯😅

But as I embraced life in the Motherland, I started to really feel their presence 🪄Their unconditional giving. Their peaceful living. Their sacred connection to life 🥹🙏🏻

Honoured for all that they are…as Purity, as Nature, as one with all 🙏🏻

India has taught me so much
Not just on paper, but through real life experience. Living yoga fully… not just on the mat 😉🧘🏼‍♀️

The Yamas in how life is respected
The Niyamas in daily devotion
Asana beyond poses
Pranayama in the life force of it all
Pratyahara in turning inward
Dharana in steady awareness
Dhyana in presence
Samadhi in oneness

This is what the practice is all about ✨

I’m beyond grateful for what I get to call this human experience 🐮🥹🙏🏻

What are India teachings outside the classroom? 🤔

From my perspective, it’s where every moment is a blessing and a lesson at the same time. This is a place where so much contrast exists✨🖤 🇮🇳

It keeps bringing me back to this beautiful Truth:
Where there is light, there is also darkness. 🖤🤍✨
Sun and moon.
Yin and yang.
Day and night.
Chaos and calm.
Stillness and movement.
The beautiful balance of this life. ⚖️

Without one, the other wouldn’t exist. And the darker moments… they don’t take away from the light, they shape it. They shape us. 🪄

Sometimes we understand it right away.
Sometimes it takes time.

But either way…
the darkness doesn’t dim your light… in the end, if you learn from it and grow, it’s what makes you Shine fully! 🌙☀️✨

If your thoughts won’t stop… read this. 🐒👇

Since being in India, I’ve been watching monkeys.

And honestly… they’re hilarious.

One minute they’re eating.
Next minute they’re fighting.
Then they’re chasing something random.
Then suddenly… completely distracted by nothing.

Zero focus.
Zero chill. 😂

And I keep thinking…
this is exactly how the mind works.

The Monkey Mind! 🐵

Always jumping.
Always grabbing.
Always moving.

You sit down to be calm for one second and it’s like:

“What am I doing later?”
“Did I reply to that message?”
“I should drink more water.”
“Wait… what was I even thinking about?”

Just jumping…
from one thought
to the next
to the next.

No pause.

Can you relate?! 🤔

But here’s the shift…

The monkey isn’t the problem.

It’s what monkeys do.

The only reason it feels exhausting
is because we keep following it everywhere.

But the moment you stop chasing it…

and just sit… breathe… observe…

the monkey still jumps…

but you don’t.

🪷

Become the observer… not the monkey 🐒


No more Monkeying around! 😬 -Am I taking this too far?! 🙈🤣
