I’m reading this book by Sinu Joseph, an Indian lady who speaks on menstruation and it’s importance, called Rtu Vidya. You may wonder why if I’m a male in this lifetime do I need to know about menstruation. I am a teacher of yoga, or have been in my my life, and draw a lot of women to my classes and it’s always good to know about this kind of stuff to help them out as needed. But more importantly for me she talks a lot about Ayurveda and the energy of Indian temples and how that energy can affect different people, this interests me a lot and is especially good to know and seek out experiences of in order to help myself and all those who come to me to learn about this type of stuff.
On my tours in Mysore people always comment on the energy especially in the Devi temples and how it affects them and it has always been a part of the discussion we have as we move from one temple to another. So this will be an important part of that discussion moving forward. But also, having just gotten through a time in my life where I was fully depressed, and haven’t been anywhere near this close to it since I was in my 20’s and teens, I’m really paying attention to energy and how it affects me. If I’m able to shift it or do I need to leave and not come to a certain place for a while, whatever it takes to not get to that point again.
Today I’ve felt very down and knowing how hard it was to drag myself up and out of it just a few weeks back I’m loathe to give in to it and embrace the emotions like I normally would have in times past. So I’ve really had to be observant all day and see how and where I went in my emotional body as I moved through my day to see if it was too low of a vibration and maybe I wouldn’t be able to get myself back to where I need to be. But here I am writing and I think I’ve made it through the roughest part of today. So any source of information on this type of thing is deeply intriguing to me, but again, it’s always good to learn from all sources even if the specific issue may not be able to happen to me.
We have to learn to navigate the energies of life’s flow. We are all subject to them. So listening to others experiences, or reading about them, discussing them back and forth. Cultivating compassion and understanding for each other, and ourselves, is terribly important as we move deeper into the Kali Yuga. And I can only imagine we will all be called more often to show up for one another let alone ourselves…
