Inspirations Welcome to the Kula Inspirations section of Currents. This is where the heart of our multifaceted community really gets a chance to sparkle. Step into the current of grace and send your words, pictures and images to newsletter@anusara.com. "Our Kula is strong because we are all of the same heart-set, if you will. We carry and broadcast the same message of profound goodness and love. The vibration that first attracted me to Anusara® was my own essence buried within my heart."
"One of my most Shakti-filled moments occurred at the Advanced Intensive in Tucson of 2006. In meditation, John asked us to feel the energy of one another, and allow ourselves to expand into that pulsation. As I softened, I felt a stirring deep within my belly that emerged as an enormous wave rising up into my heart, expanding without end. Within that wave arose a powerful feeling of gratitude. The names of everyone in the kula I had connected with that weekend, along with the exact moment of connection, blossomed in my mind one by one. Each name was followed by a silent ‘Namaste’ and a sense of bowing in to the infinite expanse that had arisen within my heart. When I ran out of names, faces manifested, and after that, an offering to any I had not connected with yet. I began to feel tears of joy, like a warm spring rain, emerge from my eyes and flow down my cheeks - a microscopic reflection of what was taking place within. This all-pervading joy and connection with the very heart of the universe continued into the evening. As I walked through the town, every shadow, brick, and plant seemed more defined and richer in color and tone. Even the stars above were crisp and sharp in their luminosity. I moved with lightness and ease, content just to be. I drank each moment in as if it were the sweetest nectar. This state of ananda engendered a powerful shift in my perception of the world that I have since carried with me."
