Buenas tardes! "I am so busy doing nothing" as Ashesh says. hehe
Yesterday I concentrated in my 8th petal- Peace! Deep blue. Very good experience. Going to the Matrimandir for me is like going home. I love spending time there. It is the source of so many things for me. My energy, my silence, my power, and my joy. My strength to share everything. My guidance for my path.
Later in the day I went to Mudra Chi. Anandi (who leads it) is nuts. We had a big group with many new people, and nobody understands her because she is crazy! She runs around saying millions of things in ways nobody understands and she is in her own world. I love it :) Anyway, today I went to her house for just a little while to get some contacts for Buenos Aires! She gave me a letter and some incense to give to her friend who has an antique shop in San Telmo, and she gave me some great contacts of people who will be able to help me stay with an indigenous community! Auroville is so incredible for connecting people all over the world. I just ask people here if they know anyone where I am going, and bam- I end up with a bunch of friends to get to know!
Last night Ganesh and I went to dinner at New Creation restaurant for... PIZZA! Ganesh and his father work at Verite- they are from Tamil Nadu. He is the nicest person I have ever met- and he just loves loves loves having friends, sharing with them, and learning from them. So we had some really impressive pizza (I think an italian guy runs the place) and we chatted. Ganesh showed me photos of his family, and told me stories of India. He does not stop overflowing with sincere gratitude for having friends from all over. When one of his friends who stays at Verite leaves, he makes sure he spends some quality time with them. He's just so genuine, it warms my heart! He treated me to the whole dinner! It just gave me a great hope and joy that people all over the world love meeting each other, and really know the good things in life to appreciate.
Today I had my very first ever massage!! and it was free... wooo! The group staying at Verite is doing a massage workshop. So today they invited some of us to get massages! It was so good for me to have somebody else work on my body- to turn it over to the love and energy of another person. I am always always working with my own body. I really appreciated having somebody else's energy taking care of me.
After visiting Anandi, I had a wonderful discussion with Martin- and he wants to employ me as an artist for a bunch of publications him and his coworkers are working on! He does a lot of work with Vedic tradition, and we are going to have a longer chat about it within the next few days, but he says he has looked for an artist for a very long time who can paint with a dream-like, feminine quality- beautiful scense of the soul of nature. I am honored and overjoyed that I can put my art to a great cause! I hope it works out :)
Lunch was yummmmers, and then we had a chocolate party! Martin's friend grows and makes chocolate- so he pulled out some strawberries to tempt Barney with for dessert :) Photo documentation of the fun we had!

Barney- the chocolate warrior slaying all the strawberries in his path!
hahah a fabulous photo of the fun
Martin- you are just bundles of fun :)
somebody liked her first chocolate adventure!
Today we have a little group spiritual/healing gathering with Kiara. I've invited Jivan and Maria- we'll see who else comes! I'm so lucky that Kiara is here, because he is sharing with us the practice of Ilahinoor- which means "Divine Light". It's a practice to embody the divine, to embody all of creation. Look it up on his website- ilahinoor.net. I'll have to tell you about it in the next post.
Yumi is leaving tonight and I am so sad! Yumi- you are the best roomate! I will miss you lots, and when I go WWOOFing in Japan I will be sure to go to your farm!! I can't wait!
3 days and counting. To quote Martin, "But we never really leave."
hugs
Mary
