Carla, Portugal
My name is Carla. I’m from Portugal, and I have lived in Ericeira more or less since COVID-19 started. Since I joined Jivana, my life has started to change in several aspects, but the turning point was when I met Acharya. Several obstacles just vanished in a simple way without straining and my path in Yoga gets more established day by day.
I moved to my house when this pandemic situation started and for me, it was a blessing, this may sound selfish, but I was able to deepen my practice and was able to cook and have my meals at right time with sattvic food. I was craving for this since several years because I have a busy life, always driving and running from one side to another, and all this situation obliged us to stop and stay home! I love to be home, able to be in silence, calm and quiet and that’s why I said what I said!
Everything in this nature has 3 energies, being that, generally 2 of them are dominant in our system, and I also had to deal with my nature. Being apart from my Sadvidya family, not to be able to go to India, having a lot of time and just being with myself, it was a constant challenge to balance my nature between Sattva and Tamas. Fortunately, our Sadvidya meetings were ongoing, even by zoom, and these lectures with Acharya were a rope for me to climb every time that I felt I was entering in the dark side of the force!
I don’t have words to express my Heartfelt Gratitude to our teacher Acharya, to Ganapati and the other teachers and to all Sadvidya community, as well to Jonathan, Stacey and Lior that support me and help me to walk on this path!
