Eat Pray Love: Ashram and Enlightenment in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gilbert arrived at her Guru\u2019s Ashram the night before New Year\u2019s Eve. She was eager to start her journey through meditation<\/a> and connect with God. Her first day, she meditated with the other residents for hours to welcome in the new year. She chanted and sang all night, finding energy in her prayers, and welcomed a new beginning<\/a> for the world and herself. <\/strong>Italy became a distant memory, and in Eat Pray Love<\/em>, the ashram was her new reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, Gilbert struggled with her meditative practice. She\u2019d always struggled back home and hoped being at the Ashram would help. But she couldn\u2019t turn off her mind enough to concentrate. Every morning while she meditated, she became distracted by thoughts<\/a> of sorrow, struggle, frustration, and failure. Her thoughts were critical, and she felt trapped in a downward spiral. <\/strong>She\u2019d open her eyes and spend the rest of the hour staring at the other residents meditating successfully, which made her feel worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But help was on the way. It took the form of a man named Richard from Texas. Richard and Gilbert became friends quickly. He even nicknamed her \u201cGroceries\u201d for her insatiable appetite. Richard became a spiritual guide for Gilbert. He helped her see that she was allowing her thoughts to rule her. Her ego was afraid of her transformation and was trying to stop her from achieving it. Gilbert took this lesson to heart and was able to stop giving her thoughts emotional power. She was finally able to meditate, and she grew closer to God.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Last Hurdle<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even though Gilbert found success meditating, she still felt stuck in her sorrow regarding her divorce and David. Richard helped her with David. He told her to give her heart time to heal in this spiritual place without disruption. David was likely her soul mate, but that only meant he was supposed to come into her life to help her grow. If not for David, Gilbert wouldn\u2019t have searched for a transformative experience, and she wouldn\u2019t be at the Ashram in Eat Pray Love<\/em>.<\/strong> She should thank David for his important role and move on. God would step in and fill the space with love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another resident, a poet from New Zealand, helped her with her husband. Gilbert wanted to be forgiven and set free from the guilt of hurting him. She wanted to talk to her ex-husband so he would stop hating her. But her friend showed her that she could find forgiveness and freedom even if her husband wasn\u2019t there. He took her to the roof of one of the buildings and told her to pray. Gilbert prayed that she and her husband could find a way to forgive and move forward with love. She beckoned her ex-husband\u2019s spirit and engaged in a metaphysical conversation with him. When it was over, Gilbert knew the pain and hate had been laid to rest. She was free.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilbert still didn\u2019t know who she was on her own or what her word was. She continued to practice meditation and grew stronger in her ability to quiet her mind. Then, one day, she had a deep experience with God. She slipped into turiya<\/a><\/em>, the fourth dimension<\/a> of consciousness, and realized that God was inside her. God was love, and that love lived in her soul. She didn\u2019t have to fear losing it. As long as she opened her heart to God, she would embody pure love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in Eat Pray Love<\/em>, the Ashram proved important. By the time Gilbert left, she was balanced and at peace in her heart. She\u2019d found a place to put her demons and surrounded them with love. She didn\u2019t need to run from anything anymore. Every ounce of her was part of God\u2019s love. She also found her word while reading a Yogic text. The word was antevasin<\/a><\/em>, which roughly meant someone who lives on the border of two worlds. That was who she was now.<\/strong> She existed on the border of her past and future. There were so many more levels of discovery to encounter, and she would keep moving forward, learning more along the way, and following the path of her heart forever. The Eat Pray Love<\/em> ashram experience was over, but the enlightenment would last a lifetime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
