Monsoon is the Right Time
It’s been pouring rain steady since yesterday afternoon here in Kerala, as, in this season of monsoon, it should every few days or so. Now it’s 9 am, and in my house we have been “current illa”– without electricity–since about 5 am.
The rain–whether drizzling or pelting–forms a blanket of soft vibration over the landscape, softening the sounds of regular life, turning down the dial on the intensity of normal activity. This sensory insulation makes monsoon the season traditionally considered best for internal focus, a naturally supported time to turn inside for meditation and spiritual study, as well as for taking Ayurvedic treatments.
