Isabel
Sintra (Portugal)
Today is the first day of my new life!
My New Year’s resolution was resilience – kṣamā.
Then covid came into our lives and due to that, in March, Portugal went into lockdown. Staying more at home, confined, made me think a lot about my life, about what else could I do to help humanity shift to a better world in harmony with nature and all beings. I realised that first, the change would have to happen within me. If I’m not well with myself, nothing else will work the way I would like it to be. Being an advocate and an activist for animals and nature for many years, I thought that I could do even more if I would have a strong foundation within myself.
Sadvidya opened up another window with classes online, and since then I did my best to attend it all. With this boost, I improved a lot! I feel I came a long long way, I climbed Annapurna and on my way to Everest!! It’s such a good feeling to realise that and to have their support, always! Sadvidya is always there whenever you need it! I feel so much gratitude that it’s hard to express!
During these months, life gave me new opportunities, huge accomplishments made me shift to a better world. A world where my approach to materials has changed because I feel happy with much less. I do not need them! Nature provides us everything and life shows us the way!
Despite all what’s going on with covid, during these last months I have accomplished something that I was postponing for ages! An amazing step! This giant step showed me a new life filled with happiness, gratitude, respect and love. Nothing would have happened without my resilience, which I have in big doses😉! Nothing of this would have been possible without Sadvidya. I have no more words to express, but an enormous gratitude to my teachers.
It takes a long time to ‘wake up’!
Namaste dear family!
I love you dearly!
