My bhakti journey

Bhakti is devotion from the heart. As each day passes, I try my best to live from my heart. It is inevitable that at times the mind will interfere. As such, most of the my life has been entangled in the webs of the mind. As we get older, the mind becomes more rigid and there is a clinging - either to old habits or our ego, or anything else that seems familiar. Although familiarity is comfortable, it has also drowned out my true nature. This rigidity has led me to the path of bhakti - transformation from the inside, where light, love, and freedom resides. Whenever the mind takes charge and I'm back into old habits, thoughts, and actions - I am starting to notice that I catch myself earlier and earlier so that I can tune into the present moment - either sound, breath, nature, or a combination thereof. It is a long winded path, so why not take it with steadiness and ease. And with this steadiness and ease, I create from my heart, in the kitchen, on the yoga mat, in life. And with that my dear friends, I invite you to join me on this journey.
