Spirituality

...has been a huge topic in my yoga teacher training classes, particularly the "meaning" of it - to you, to others, to everyone.  Deep stuff, my brain hurts.


The most magical and spiritual place I have ever experienced is Bali.  Tonight, we watched a movie (book turned movie) called Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.  I knew there was no way I'd enjoy the movie more than the book. The concepts and ideas are way too deep to be portrayed visually.  Instead, the reason we chose to watch it was to be reminded of the beautiful landscapes, glistening water, humble people, and peaceful island called Bali, within Indonesia, that is often misinterpreted because of its location. It was our honeymoon spot and best vacation ever (R & R - you are going to LOVE it).  Of the 14,000 islands called Indonesia, it is probably the island where its people have the most tolerance.  You'd have to have that tolerance to exude the essence of spirituality the way it does.


Spirituality: Elevating ourselves above our evolutionary roles of animals serving evolutionary functions. 


Food for Thought: Are our choices "authentic" or a result of our programming?
