For many years, for most of my life, this day— Father’s Day triggered me and brought on a lot of pain. Having grown up without this masculine relationship and energy in my life, I always felt a sense of lack, a wronging, or being incomplete. It caused so much shame and suffering until I learned to work with it. . . So much of my healing and yogic journey has been to reconcile this situation within myself, to see the bigger picture and to understand that I am already whole, so blessed and have both the feminine and masculine within me already. My life was a gift from my father even though his presence in my life was absent, the higher me chose him in this life and together we were karmically linked in some way to go through this. . . Recently I came to the realization that I always had the Divine Father with me, he was always protecting me and guiding me. This energy was present the whole time, it just did not come through in a particular physical body. It led me to finding my practice and connecting to this long lineage of traditional yoga and all the teachers of this lineage. It led me to actively pursuing my own healing. It has been one of the greatest gifts and blessings. So Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there, whether in the physical form or otherwise. 💗 . . #peru #pisac #sacredvalley #travelingyogini #consciousness #healing #lifeisajourney #fujixpro2 #vscocam #fathersday
Finding peace with-in, not with-out. One of the things my Guruji always taught me to practice is adapting myself to whatever situation I’m in.. no matter the storm blowing outside, no matter how inconvenient or annoying or disappointing a situation is – I accept it and make it work. This is not to say one remains passive or discouraged and takes zero action ever, but instead to be open to whatever comes or goes, and still remain enthusiastic to continue pursuing what the heart feels is right. We can be inconvenienced but we’re not on our knees crying over every little thing. We get up and keep going. . Living in a new country has been a huge test of this practice. I’ve moved accommodations for the third time now and took my first real hot shower in weeks, and have been dancing between a series of trade offs, it’s always a give and take. But I continue and do my sadhana, my daily practice - this is all part of my practice. 🕉🙏✨ . . #peru #pisac #sacredvalley #travelingyogini #consciousness #growth #lifeisadance #vscocam
Alpaca love 💗 . . #peru #pisac #sacredvalley #travelingyogini #fujixpro2 #vscocam #streetphotography #alpaca
Fresca delicioso 🍓 Been buying bags and bags of these yummy strawberries from the markets. Unlike the giant plumped up strawberries sold in the supermarkets in the states, these are small (natural sized) and have so much flavor! . #peru #calca #sacredvalley #travelingyogini #fujixpro2 #vscocam #streetphotography

Exploring Calca - a small village town in Sacred Valley. Quaint, less touched by foreigners and tourism, a nice place to absorb local Peruvian culture. . . #peru #calca #sacredvalley #travelingyogini #fujixpro2 #vscocam #streetphotography
