My Brazil Update

Beloved friends,
I hope that this message finds you in a state of joyful contentment with all that surrounds you in your life.
I have just returned from Brazil and will be spending the next few weeks in Buffalo before returning to India. I apologize for the lack of email updates while I was in Brazil. I wished to share so much with all of you, but I was in a location where internet wasn’t very available. I also had little time to spend with technology because so much of my journey was dedicated to spiritual intensives and deep processing of many aspects of my life. For me, these one and a half months in Brazil with my Guru Prem Baba were equal to at least 5 years of normal self knowledge work. We ventured into the depths of being and then soared high into the realms of divine bliss. It was a roller coaster ride into the self. We looked at our hidden layers of darkness, the masks we often unknowingly wear, our patterns, and packs of vengeance that cause our own suffering. We shined the light of awareness onto these areas so that through their identification we can begin to de-identify from them within our lives. We worked to heal the scars life has placed upon us as we drop the illusions and move closer to a life of freedom, unconditional love and joy….and for those of you I haven’t lost yet, we began the process of the activation of cosmic consciousness. To sum it all….it has been an extremely intense learning process that alternated between realms of extreme anger and sadness and then jumped up to moments of utter bliss and divine love.
It was such gift to share time and space with the Brazilians. Their hospitality and open hearts were a blessing to be around. They truly wear their heart proudly and welcome you into their country with a kiss on the cheek and a warm embrace.
I elected to spend much of my time at Prem Baba’s ashram (spiritual school) opposed to traveling in Brazil. I felt that my purpose for being in South America was to delve more deeply into mediation and self knowledge opposed to wandering aimlessly. As Prem Baba would say: “you are no longer a seeker, you are a founder….you have found the path, you just have to walk it and see where it goes.” So I rode the waves at the ashram…with the exception of a few nights in Sao Paulo where I danced the night away with some amazing Brazilian dancers….(check out the video on facebook). Hehe….
Over these past years of traveling, I have learned so much. I am getting closer and closer to really starting something with these experiences I have been having. I wish to share my wisdom, love and talents of yoga, meditation, healing, dance, travel, writing, photography and inspire others to delve into this beautiful world of happiness. So many people are suffering and no longer have passion for life. They have become so lost in the illusion that they forget their reason for living. They have forgotten those moments when they have felt joy and presence. They are too busy to actually take the time for themselves to enjoy their life and to be grateful for all that they have rather than worrying about all that they are lacking. People want to look around and blame everyone else for their suffering rather than changing the circumstances or when it is not in their power to change it, accept it. The world is in urgent need of healing, but in order to work to heal the world, we must first heal ourselves…..

I hope that this “update” has inspired you in some way. May you walk surrounded by everlasting joy and with the grace of passion and love in your heart, and wisdom etched into your soul.

Best wishes and love for you on your journey,

Kristie
