Agni Hotra



Every time I leave an Agni Hotra fire ceremony, I feel completely renewed. There's something purely magical about this ceremony. The more I surrender, the freer I become. Last night, as we welcomed in the full moon, I allowed myself to let go of so many things that have been getting in my way. This powerful ceremony has come into my life when I really need it most. 

Bali has a way of providing us with what we need... even if we don't think we're ready. :) For this, I am grateful. 

I recently wrote a post HERE that describes my personal experience of Agni Hotra.

New Beginnings


This place that I call "home" has been one of bittersweet experiences. For nearly a decade, I have lived on foreign land, trying the best I can to belong. There have been times of great struggle, nearly leaving me battered beyond repair. There have also been times of immense joy as I realize my true purpose on this planet.

Bali has taken me in, thrown me out, invited me to the deepest depths of despair, and lifted me back up again, to heights I never could have imagined before. She doesn't give me any room for false perceptions. Like a mirror to my own Soul, this island has shown me who I really am, even when I have wanted to run in the other direction out of fear.

I have decided to dedicate a space just for my life in Bali. This will certainly evolve naturally over time, just as my sacred space, Inner Bliss, has. There will be photos, stories, and all sorts of things related to this mystical place. I won't try and plan it all out in advance. It will be a journey, just as all of life is.

I invite you to join me.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om
