I was about six months deep into my two year contract and island fever crept up on my ass like a stranger in a dark alley. Up until that point, I had settled quite comfortably into my new lifestyle as the Pilates/Fitness instructor on a private resort island in Turks & Caicos. The stress of NYC’s daily grind, my chaotic schedule plus the sensory overload of the concrete jungle were buried in the depths of tranquil Caribbean waters.
Reading Ambika Wauters' "Life Changes With the Energy of the Chakras" was like a prolonged look into an unforgiving three-way mirror. I was forced to see all the stuff I didn't love about myself; stuff that weighted me with either embarrassment, shame or frustration. It reflected how I truly feel about myself and its direct effect on how I navigate through life, career and relationships. It also forced me to recognize how it's my own choices and reactions to life changes that have shaped who and where I am today.
