When I first began meditating at the Ashram, there was a covert norm that becoming ‘enlightened’ is a really difficult thing to do; it was only for the masters and you wouldn’t be able to achieve it in this lifetime. However, I have come to learn that awakening is for everyone. Anyone can become lighter. Each moment of ‘enlightenment’ brings you closer to who you really are, helps you heal and allows you to experience more joy in your moments.

Planetary biodiversity today is barely fathomable. You are one such lifeform. There are billions, trillions, (probably more) lifeforms in this universe and you are but one. And here's the really cool part; you are completely unique. There has never been one such as you and there will never be another exactly like you, ever again. Please don’t discount the contribution of your individual qualities in this lifetime.
