Thankyou, Prana Flow, for wonderful, inspiring articles.
Many years ago, I used to take N.A. Meetings into Arohata prison…I was clean and sober, and really felt I was serving, in a good way-since, I have experienced deep depression, rabid active addiction, and wished I would go to jail, to experience the peace and safety of being in a cell.
But, I have been practicing Yoga, in a group, twice weekly for the last couple of years, and it is my rock.It is the only time I feel connected, in my body, in the moment, and saying “yes” to life.
I trust it will lead me to my true destiny-perhaps community living, an ashram, a kibbutz, its just something I feel!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Hey Gisele,
Adhyatma certainly has an inspiring story to tell – as do we all in many ways.
Yoga especially does have so much to offer us, especially when life gets really tough. Keep practicing, and even consider starting to do a little bit at home by yourself. It’s amazing how much you can remember when you give it a go, and how good it makes you feel.
Thanks for sharing your story too
Much joy,
KL
This story was so beautifully and honestly told that it bought tears to my eyes. Thank-you.
