The start of our Forty Days retreat is only days away and we are all getting ready for this beautiful sādhanā and spiritual observance. Notably, we are also very aware that our world is currently experiencing a global pandemic that is rippling through to every community worldwide carrying in its wake fear and uncertainty. Though we need to stay physically distanced at the moment, it is only at one level of being. Expanding our consciousness beyond the physical body to subtle body awareness we connect even more powerfully with each other. It is a great time to explore this using our Blue Star teachings and practices as we venture in the inner space uncovering our true being and power. In the following days join us in the inner space when you can’t on the outer and let us lift the consciousness of our world to a new and exciting level of unity, strength and well-being to combat this global health challenge.
