Sri Vast...

I am so excited! I am going to a workshop at the H~OM Yoga Center in Vaudreuil on Wednesday Night for a workshop with Guruji Sri Vast. Originally I wanted to go to a retreat with him October 3-5 in Harrington, QC, but finances didn't allow for it this time. So you can imagine my joy when I found out that he would be speaking at a facility which is only 10 minutes away from my home.
You must understand, that this man is so full of peace and joy that it comes across even when watching a video clip of him speaking; these can be found on YouTube...just type in Sri Vast. I watched the two "dancing with the Master" clips the other night. Between the two clips, it's about 20 minutes of dancing and celebration at the ashram in India; I couldn't help but tap my feet and bounce in my chair... it was so fun!

I really am what I eat...

It's amazing how much one's diet affects overall health and well-being! I have been slowly making the transition to eliminating red meat and poultry/fowl from my diet, but now I've cut it out completely! I haven't eaten meat in over a week, and the difference is astounding! Within only 2 days I started seeing a difference! My mind is clear and focused, my emotions are balanced, and my energy levels and motivation to do things... well, I'm keeping up with the housework without trying to clean the entire house in a single day. Whoa, I'm acting like a "normal" homemaker!

At this point, I'm not even willing to consume a single piece of meat, even if only to test my theory. I feel good without being in a manic state, and I am going to do whatever it takes to keep it this way. LOL... I think I'm going to make Sushi for Thanksgiving dinner!
