Home Sweet Home

"Home is where the heart is"

I was holding back tears as the plane took off from Spain and headed towards Canada. No, I'm not afraid of flying. Yet every time I leave Spain, I feel an ache in my chest and my eyes begin to water.

I don't have any family there, only having the few friends I've made throughout my travels in Andalucia. Yet still, Spain feels more like home to me than Ottawa - the town where I was born and raised. 

Prana

In yoga, we notice a difference in prana, in energy, from before practice compared to how we feel afterwards. 

In life, we are aware of different prana with the people we meet, even with the places we visit. 

What does 'Home' mean to you? 

I have had the pleasure of meeting people from all over the world during my travels. When I ask 'where is home?', I am usually given a two part answer - "Oh I'm from so & so but my home is X,Y,Z". 

Where is 'home' for you?

Is it where you were born? Perhaps where you are currently living? Or maybe a place where you feel most connected to your Self?

Wherever it may be, cherish these places and keep them close to your heart. Know that if one day you must leave, you can always return back home - back to home sweet home.
