Selfless giving- HealFarm

Without a second thought the home was opened up to us with no intended date of departure questioned. This is the space that has been cultivated at Adnans' family home overlooking Sat Tal (tal:lake) near Bhowali. With the family residing in Delhi, only visiting every few months, Prianka (Adnans partner) and Adnan mainly live here. Only moving in around a year back they already have plans to cultivate this space and essence of selfless giving and harmony even further. Having access to quite a bit of land around the house the vision and now proceeding plans are to rejuvenate the presently pine dominated forest that has been planted and widely spread during British rule. With some earth work and about 2,000 tree holes Adnan and Prianka's HealFarm is now underway (although they would not want me to refer to it as theirs as it belongs to no one and offers space for anyone).  The vision for the farm is to be non-monetary based where people come and stay bringing a ration of some sort to help in supporting the community and share their energy through helping, learning, teaching and being. Since they can explain it better I would encourage you to checkout their website at http://www.heal.farm/ which also can lead you to their Facebook page.

Coming back to the house twice (once with Erin and then separately) provided growth in such unexpected ways that allowed me to see (and continue to see) that lessons can be found in every experience.  These lessons tend to be the same but present different routes to acknowledging and becoming aware of the essence of life, which seems to be... to just be. As situations arise and pass our minds tend to respond in patterned ways based on how we have been conditioned over time. However realizing that one has the ability to discontinue these habitual patterns of the mind, to gradually release these constructs that society has created and we have placed ourselves in. This is where true freedom is found as our minds make up how we perceive the world.

The act of selfless giving is a continued lesson that breaks down constructs and expectations... The true balance of give a take. Adnan and Prianka show this effortlessly as it has become so rooted in their beings. This is shown through their non-attachment from material goods to time and space that they offer... where their is no mine and yours. All becomes one. Attachment is only created to keep the ego alive and happy... ironically when the ego is happy one generally is in misery. We all have the capacity to take and the ability to give. Give in a way where you don't expect anything in return, take with gratitude and start to see as this constant flow of energy becomes one. 
Through his way of being and sharing, Adnan has showed me how one can be a reflection of the universe and Prianka has allowed me to see that we are all a reflection of one another.

It all comes down to the simple lesson just to be :)
Ladedah and enjoy every moment as it is
