I've been busy lately and not taking time to reflect and clear up my intentions, so when a friend mentioned my new moon intention to me yesterday it reminded me, oh, get on that.
Sometimes I feel like I have so much ritual I follow already that one more thing will make me burst, but really, I've got plenty of space for it. I think I get lazy when I'm home because I'm in such a routine that I don't even have to think about it. This is part of why I'm moving.
Yes, I'm going back to India to study with Sharath again, leaving October 27th and won't be back until February, so I'm letting my apartment go and have a friend who is letting me store stuff in his basement and letting me set up a bedroom down there as well. It's actually a super cozy basement and I'm looking forward to it, I'm going to start moving boxes today so it can be a slow process, not a rush around and do it in two days process.
I'm excited for this trip very much and intend for it to be as transformational as the last one, and even more so. With it being longer I'm going to do Thai massage over there to make money to live off of but because of the length I'll have time to dig in deeper and go to another level with my practice, but also to study with my Sanskrit teacher and my chanting teacher more, both of which I'm looking forward to as much as the asana practice.
I'm embracing all the things that come up and not seeing them as obstacles, but as contrast to help me hone my intention and make it more succinct so that I don't get a lot of extra stuff, but that I get a lot of what I'm looking for. It has been working here at home, so I'm sure it will work over there.
Yes, after 13 years of teaching Ashtanga Yoga a community who loves it is finally building here and it's a great thing. There are students who are excited to practice, who ask questions, who really want to go there and transform themselves and that is what a teacher teaches for. I couldn't be happier with my teaching experience these days. Other than maybe wishing I had a full Mysore program going, that is something I really want, but it hasn't been something that's worked out just yet.
So when I get back I'm going to contemplate where and how to implement one in the mornings with a few evenings offered so that folks who just can't do mornings can come as well. Then I'll have to rededicate myself to my practice because I'll have to get up early, early to practice before I teach! lol, I can do it, I know I can! lol
When I think of my intention for this next period of time it is to embrace all and let it show you the way, to expect the universe to support my intention with financial abundance and really, abundance in all it's forms. To be focused and clear and allow the things that are working for me to keep honing my skills and get me to the goal of creating this amazing life that I want. Really, to keep creating an amazing life because already is pretty awesome!
