Heal near the Hindu Monastery
Have you ever visited the Hindu Temple here on Kaua`i? It the most peaceful place with the most beautiful energy. The spiritual experience had on Kauai for most visitors and locals is elevated after floating through such a serene property. As you step onto these sacred grounds, let your everyday concerns drift away. This monastery spreads out over 382 acres of gardens, groves, paths, ponds, waterways and forests, all at the food of an extinct volcano. Guests come to the monastery to meditate and witness firsthand the entirely hand-sculpted, white granite Iraivan (meaning “He who is worshipped”) temple.
There is a famed banyan tree which is the perfect place for a meditation. Meditation aids in releasing chronic stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, and much more. While meditating, we focus on breathing and letting thoughts drift by. As humans, we get caught up in our minds and focus on thoughts that can be detrimental to our health. When focusing on these thoughts, we forget to breathe and let them take over our day-to-day functions causing dis-ease. If we remember to meditate and breathe, we become lighter and happier beings. Having a place like the Hindu Monastery so close to home can bring positive influence and possibly a new routine in your day. As we watch our world fluster at the moment, it is important to take care of yourself, not let the fear sink in, and be the best version of yourself with practices like this. Explore the outdoors and breathe in the fresh air Mother Earth gives daily. Learning about different practices at the Hindu Monastery can teach us new things, heal past troubles and live in the present moment with gratitude, compassion and reverence.
Synchronistically enough, my newest listing is located just down the road from the Hindu Monastery. This home is located in the Wailua homesteads amongst lush tropical jungle. Watch the video below on this beautiful listing.
