I am now at the Ashram of Sadhguru (the "Isha Foundation") in southern India. I came here to learn to meditate, and get healthy, and to visit my friend, Doris, who comes here often.
The Ashram has beautiful grounds and is much more luxurious than I ever imagined an Ashram would be.
I have my own spacious, air-conditioned room , which is very chic (it was decorated by Doris!). It has an Indo-Californa feel-- almost entirely white except for lots of pretty colorful fabric pillows.
The food here is fantastic...You can eat entirely "raw" or go on a vegetarian cooked diet while here. could subsist alone on the fresh Mango juices I am devouring each day. I guess I am not going to lose much weight.
Everybody is warm and welcoming here, even if it is obvious that I am new to this world, and not making the most committed effort to embrace it. The "swamis" and "mas"-- the people who live here and work for Sadhguru-- are always ready to help in every way-- whether to teach OM chanting or to get my cell phone re-charged. It is such a safe, sweet world here that I can see how the outside world might be jarring when I leave on Saturday.
let's see the white room!
ReplyDeleteMany people meditate, but very few realize the immense benefits possible from this practice. Why? They haven't been shown how to meditate most effectively.
ReplyDeleteyeah its a nice post.. in ashrams, meditation will be good... so m thankful for this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and commenting Claritythroughmeditation and
ReplyDeleteAboutmedditation, and for your nice words. By learning to meditate, I am discovering a whole new world that is already revealing benefits.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, -Alvin
