For the Love of India

For the Love of India

In this lifetime I signed up for a path of roots and wings.

Today I make my journey to India. I have taken the long road to get here.

I will be in India for some time to connect with my roots, my teachers, my family, and the land itself.

My intentions:

I allow my eyes to close and choose to follow my breath.

I seek the invisible path of surrender that leads me home.

I ask no permission from authorities. My wild is my Truth. My heart is my compass.

I yearn to sit at the feet of my teachers and Her.

I desire to enter the magnificent refuge of this sacred land - naked and fully.

I intentionally want to feed and honor my ancestral lineage, in reciprocity, as it nourishes me.

I welcome the opportunity to be a steward of the land.

I will work with other healers on myself and deepen into ritual and practice and "feeding my demons" so they may set themselves free.

I offer up prayers of healing and forgiveness for myself, my family, and all beings for our greatest good.

I ask for the deep and fierce love of India to mirror to me all that remains in my blind spots.

I choose to love myself as my own best friend.

I want to create the space to honor, accept, and grieve the next set of frozen parts of myself abandoned so long ago.

I will do my best to relax into REAL presence with my spiritual community and my family.

I want to juice life, eat ALL the food, and immerse embodied in the sights and sounds of my beloved - India

I am open to all of these intentions falling apart and working towards active surrender for my highest good - something that my ego cannot even predict.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you!

If you want to follow along, I will post more frequently on my Instagram @awakenananda.

Priya

I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days

to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible,

to loosen my heart,

until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom,

and that which came to me as blossom

goes on as fruit.
