Once I made the decision to move Balance into a larger space, I asked the Universe to help me find Indian temple doors. Mind you, I had not found a new home for Balance yet, but 3 days later I was up visiting my family in Saratoga, NY and while walking down Main Street I saw a small corridor that drew my attention. I walked down it to find some small shops and outside of what looked to be an old furniture store lay 9 ft tall extraordinarily beautiful Indian temple doors! A very kind Thai woman came up to me and asked if I was interested in them. She informed me they were in a temple in Rajasthan. I was overwhelmed by this entire experience and couldn't believe how quickly the Universe gifted my wish. She called the manager of the furniture store and I spoke to him. He informed me that the furniture store had closed down and that these doors were a few of the pieces they had remaining. When I told him I was the owner of a Yoga Shala/ Wellness Center he was thrilled and so happy that they would be loved and cherished in the right environment. He practically gave the doors to me. I found a moving company on Long Island who occasionally travels upstate and was able to pick the doors up for me and drive them down to Huntington 3 weeks later, 2 days after I finally found a space and signed a lease! The doors were delivered to the space and my beloved contractor/yogi took 2 and a half weeks to install them. They didn't come with any hardware so he found old rod iron gate hinge's and the like to hang the doors. It was meditation in motion for sure watching him take the proper time and care to get them up for all of us to enjoy. Everyone who comes to Balance comments on these special doors; their beauty and energy. And each time I touch them and graciously walk through them to enter each sacred yoga space, I am reminded of the love, devotion and constant surrender we must continuously cultivate each day of our practice and life.
