art of living – one world family festival 2010

My car wipers swooshing the raindrops from the windshield, cars started to slow down as the rain became heavier. I felt incredibly miffed with the weather, for months I have been waiting to go to the open-air Art of Living, One World Family Festival, I have daydreamed of the entertainment, interesting stalls and different yoga classes. By the time we parked the car the rain had stopped, in a blink the weather turned into what was in fact perfect open-air festival weather, cool enough to walk and enjoy the festivities of live music and dancing, esoteric stalls and divine, authentic Indian vegetarian food. The kind of food where the spices clear your nasal passages long after the meal.

Wandering around I was invited to get a free 2 minute Afrikaans deck Tarot reading, got some interesting answers. I ended up standing so long in the children’s play area I was asked which child was mine – blush. Couldn’t help myself, I was hypnotised by all the joy exuding from the happy face-painted children, shrills of laughter coming from the crocodile jumping castle and care-bear love beaming from the petting zoo.

Anything to do with Art of Living leaves a blissful smile on the face, all good vibes and beautiful living. “Life is sacred. Celebrate life. Care for others and share whatever you with those less fortunate than you. Broaden your vision, for the whole world belongs to you. The more you give, the more strength will be given to you.” – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Art of Living spiritual leader).

A great discovery was finding out about the Art of Living DIY Home Yoga course, you could learn to do all the essential postures in six sessions for R500. Talk about money well spent for your well being.

I really enjoyed this message above that was attached to the upcoming course details. The sentiment speaks so true to me, I find when stuck in an area in your life, when it feels as though you are going through the same pattern with different people, as though there is something stopping the positive flow, sometimes you just need to re-evaluate the approach or way of thinking.
