Last stop after a full day of touring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today was a moon day so we were able to go touring around. \u00a0We had the fortunate opportunity to go with a small group of English and American Yogis and their families. \u00a0People come to Mysore with their families and this makes for a most amazing family trip. \u00a0The age ranges of the kids in the families was 3 1\/2 to 10. \u00a0It is refreshing to see this younger set enjoying the sites very much and with little complaint about heat or tired feet. \u00a0 Everyone participated in the journey.<\/p>\n

Arriving in two small vans after a 3 hour drive we walked 620 steps up to the Gommateshwara Statue. \u00a0 The statue is very clean as they do rituals of cleaning it as part of the prayer ceremonies and it represents absolution of material wealth and promotes peace and non violence. \u00a0 \u00a0I attached a link for reference on this as It is a fun adventure and something very worth visiting. \u00a0Parker was able to relax the guard that he has had up, knowing that we were in good company and that as a group things would be pretty cool. \u00a0 \u00a0Unlike the tour with me the day before in Mysore City at the Devaraja market which was somewhat overwhelming for him. \u00a0 It is supposed to be chaotic but some panic set it as we got deeper into the market. \u00a0 Our feelings relating to our experiences inside ourselves were just about on the opposite ends of the spectrum.<\/p>\n

It is interesting when you start to learn something about yourself. \u00a0He realized that he is not much of a city person. \u00a0Not that you want to get stuck in something when you really don’t have the experience but you understand the comfortable feeling verses the ones that bring up some anxiety. \u00a0The yoga gives us a chance to experience silence so that we can go inward and see what masks we wear and start to shed them. \u00a0It helps us deal with the uncomfortable places that you find yourself in and to face those obstacles in our practice, in our life on and off the mat. \u00a0 Yoga is bringing about communication, openness, letting go and a tapping in that cannot come about easily in other ways.<\/p>\n

It was refreshing to come home to Gokulum and have a nice meal at Tins’a Cafe. \u00a0 It is the country here in this small village and we are feeling more and more at ease and just happier. \u00a0 Tomorrow is led primary for him and I get another day of rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
