Pretty cool to have witnessed the Day of the Dead festivities in Mexico City 💀 this city also has the best food, peeps, art and music and such good vibesss, I could live here 🌹

I recently read this novel ~ The forty rules of love that changed my perspective about LOVE in so many, sharing one of them rules here that really resonated wit me as a reminder for both you and me ~

“ The universe is one being. Everything and everyone is interconnected through an invisible web of stories. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all in a silent conversation. Do no harm. Practice compassion. And do not gossip behind anyone's back - not even a seemingly innocent remark! The words that come out of our mouths do not vanish but are perpetually stored in infinite space and they will come back to us in due time. One man's pain will hurt us all. One man's joy will make everyone smile.” 🤍 🕊️

Another trip flowing and floating around the sun 🎉

At 33 my life is not what I had imagined it would be(and pretty happy about) ~ I have no life plans beyond 2 months from now, live on my own terms, 1000 miles away from what a conventional “successful” life looks like ~ if there's anything this year taught me it's that plans are often nothing more than a safety net for the mind ~ but when you let go of control and surrender to the FLOW, things turn out far, far sweeter than planned. 🍭(just my opinion)

Went on a lil birthday adventure up in the Himalayas with my Virgo sisterrrr .j06 ~ being in the sweet presence of nature, celebrating our solar returns and here’s what that looked like 🏔️🌻🌿

Is there room in the sky? ☁️

Just a reminder to SMILE so wide your eyes close, today and everydayyy :)))))

One of the most simple advices I got recently was to SMILE- even when you don’t feel like it, even if you have to force it, even if you have to fake it (genuine smiles hit different tho), when you wake up in the morning, when you’re conversing or even doing yoga.

The mere act of smiling releases endorphins, dopamine and serotonin in the body, tricks your brain into a good mood and actually makes you look cuter (or sometimes creepy, swipe for creepiness) ㋡

The next time you're feeling low or stressed, make yourself smile and notice how you feel 🌈

An ode to barefoot living and long lazy days spent by the beach 👣 Waking up with the sun, practicing yoga from sunrise till sunset, floating in and out of books and naps, practicing the art idle being and exploring this beautiful country ✨🤙🏼

A few ways you can travel more consciously

🦋bike and walk around small towns and islands
🦋support places and people doing their bit to be sustainable
🦋eat and shop local and eat plant-based as much as you can
🦋leave no trace behind especially in nature
🦋 carry your own bottles and bags, avoid plastic things
🦋 slow travel to fullly immerse yoself in the culture

Beautiful pictures here, but the reality is slightly different on this island- a lot of the beaches are trashed (swipe until end for reality), had to really seek out a clean beach for swimming, the island is overdeveloped, there’s 100x more seafood than there is people on the island, an overuse of plastic, unethical animal tourism to some degree and it just made me really sad!

Be kind to the earth when you travel and just generally too, thanks!🌸

introspection & exploration as of late

🦋WHOLENESS > perfection
🦋HEALING > fixing
🦋OBSERVING > absorbing

End of another era!!! Gonna miss my sweet farm life and farm friends a lil but so grateful for these wholesome two months (that have felt like an eternity) and the lovely memories🌻🦋

Ready for some chaos and colour in my life 🙃

Best part about living on a farm has been greeting cute farm animals each morning AND fresh organic produce straight from the source!!! I’m just happy they have bhindi here and bunniesss 🌿🐰💚🐴🥬

Retreats are so damn special 🌻

Two beautiful days nourishing our souls with yoga, cacao drinking, ecstatic dancing, intention setting, ocean swimming, sound healing, karaoke singing and just really connecting with ourselves, our community and nature 🌱

Thank you to EVERYONE who made our first retreat so special. Even though we all crave real connection and community, a lot of the times it feels scary to take the leap and put ourselves in new experiences with people we've never met. So Thank you for being brave and showing up for yourselves. ❤️✨

Shoutout to and .life for curating, organising and just being the boss woman she is. 🤗

See you at our next one 🌈

Moments of pure joyyy from our waterfall adventure yesterday with my water babiesss 🧚‍♀️🦋

Thank you , been lovely to be part of the community ❤️

Spent the last 3 days cooped up in my room with a pink eye and ended up listening to over 19 podcasts cause I couldn’t look at a screen. >>> some good ones imo, you’re welcome :)

Also extra grateful for being able to see, sunshine and today. ✨

✨ Consuming foods high in prana 🥥

✨ Tongue scraping and dry brushing to detox 🌱

✨ Spiced milk for my slightly weak digestive system 🌶

✨ Rising with the sun and taking it all in ☀️

✨ Moving my body to stay sane and strong 💪🏼

✨ Being mindful of who and what I attract in my energy field 🌀

It’s easy to be all zen at a retreat space or far away in nature, the real challenge is maintaining that in a big busy city, something I struggle with everytime I come back home.

Here’s a sweet spot of peace and quiet I’ve been coming to, mostly at sunset hour, where there is some type and feeling of nature, even if just a small amount, to keep my nervous system happy-ish 🌴

And the sunset today was just 🔥

Grounded Shruti is a happy Shruti 🍃

For me, absolutely anytime I need to recharge I go into nature. Somehow is releases any energy that I've picked up that's not my own. 🦋

A few other ways to incorporate grounding rituals throughout the day, like taking some deep breaths, driving slower, tuning into your heartbeat, stopping to look at flowers and bugs, the little things, ya know 🧚🏻

My belly hurts from all the 🥖 and 🧀 but Sardinia was freakin cuteeee 💜

a little plan.. 🕊✨

Stay cool kids 😎

Load up on natural electrolytes 🥥 snack on hydrating fruits 🍉, add mint leaves or 🥒 to your water, wear loose lightweight clothes, stay away from direct sunlight⛅️, practise restorative and calming poses🧘🏻‍♀️, avoid inversions, practice Sheetali breath, find a water body to jump into 🐠

‘Flow’ is a state of being - a mental state of being totally in the zone to the point where you forget about time and space 🌀

Flowing with my breath and being fully in the now, has taught me to flow through life. Things I manifested, actually happened because I stopped holding on to those expectations and this mindset led me to have the best experiences, opportunities, connections and relationships which I’m so so grateful for.

So, here’s your reminder to find your flow state with any activity that completely absorbs you, whatever that is for you 🌊
