Home is Melbourne. So lovely to be home, especially since spring is definitely here and the daffodils are flowering in my garden. No matter how many times I travel to India I always find it a cultural shock returning home. There is so much space here, it is so quiet and so clean! The diversity of our planet never ceases to amaze me and to be able to open your eyes to this diversity is a great thing. India gives so many challenges which you just have to live through.... When in India, if you fight and react not much comes from the experience.....but if you soften and are willing to be accepting of the highs and lows, maybe even learn to wiggle your head in South Indian fashion, the beauty and ease of this places becomes apparent. This world is a crazy place and all things exist within it, just as all those things exist within each of us. Yoga gives so many challenges and if you are willing, it takes you deeper within yourself to a place where everything is ok . Put yourself in a position to experience change, smile at the highs and lows, wiggle your head, pick yourself up, ask "why not?" and keep going.
In other words, practice yoga and live your life fully.
