In this week's episode, I dive a little deeper into my transformative time at the ashram in Rishikesh. I share a little about my initial trip to India and how all the universe conspired to help me get there, and how impactful that trip ended up being in my life. So much so that I returned a year later and received an initiation into the ashram, joining the long lineage of Himalayan yoga tradition. I also shared how the ashram or any meditation center can become the ideal place for whole being happiness, based on learnings from the SPIRE model, that I learned during my Master's degree in Happiness Studies. I may have been a little all over the place, but it's just because I had so much I wanted to share! #spiritualawakening #spirituality #spiritualjourney #mentalhealth #ashram #india #rishikesh #happiness
