Santosha - a deep satisfaction with your current situation, feeling enough as you are, meeting the present moment as it is. 

Many a duty (this December, especially) have I obliged - so, now it is time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the 2025 ride. 

It IS all too much

Consistency - HOW TO:

Can we slough off a fleck of ‘the world’ to excavate a glimpse of our true essence?

Consistency is the key 🔑. We will find consistency when we DIS-COVER our inner selves. No copycatting, no idolizing, no formulas. No prescribed diets, uniforms, or interior spaces. No dictated timetable or curriculum.
