The Mystic School Spiritual Center

  A few weeks before I came to Mysore, India I was in my room back home doing my meditation the way I always do...First 10 minutes I'm shopping, beating myself up, dreaming about Cadbury eggs, scrambled eggs, over easy eggs, Cadbury eggs.....Cadbury eggs...You see how it goes... I find a little silence for a few minutes and then I start seeing bright blue lights and getting little messages from Spirit.  You can imagine to my surprise when I saw myself practicing yoga with someone other then Saraswathi or Sharath.  It freaked me out so much I just pushed it away and didn't tell even the dog what I had been given from the guides. It's not surprising considering FEAR really stands for "Fuck Everything And Run". I compartmentalized it and pushed it way out of my head until just a few days ago.

  The day I arrived in Gokulam, Mysore all I did was walk past the Jois Shala and something just didn't feel right to me.  It wasn't bad or terrible but I just wasn't feeling like I was going to be practicing there.  On my walk through Gokulam I kept seeing a sign that said Mystic School. The sign said nothing else other than Mystic School. It's not a huge sign and it's not even right out in front of you as you're walking by.  It's just a little yellow and blue sign that says Mystic School on the side of the street.  Several times a day I would walk Gokulam and see this sign and feel good.  I would walk past the Jois Shala and still feel that same previous feeling of practicing somewhere else.   I researched and did some looking around and to my surprise it's a spiritual center and school of Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, and Energy Work.  I went to my room where I'm staying and sat with my guides (Spirit) and meditated on this to see what came through.  After about an hour I contacted the Mystic School Spiritual Center for an appointment to talk about my yoga and spiritual practice.

The Mystic School Sign

  This morning I woke up and felt good about my decision to talk to the Mystic School Spiritual Center.  I met with Jaiprakash who greeted me with a kind smile and a seat.  We talked for a little bit and I signed up for a full month of practice.  Jaiprakash was a student the honorable BNS Iyengar who directly studied Ashtanga Yoga under Krishnamacharya and Yogasanavisharada.  After our talk I felt even better about my decision.  I can continue to practice under Jaiprakash after my month is up or I can go and practice at the Jois Shala. I am definite that there is a bigger Universal reason for my path and it's direction.  I am a student always and I have an undying love for all of my teachers. This will just be another learning lesson in my human experience.  I do believe it's the Yoga that's the true teacher.  Our connection with God through that process is what makes our vibration elevate to a greater understanding.  I'm so grateful for all my teachers and even more grateful to be their student in this lifetime and hopefully many more.
