Hey sweet soul!  

As we move into May, I'm feeling energised by something that sits at the heart of everything we do here at Live to Serve Academy - serving.  

Not service as obligation or performance. But the kind of service that flows naturally when you’re living in alignment with who you truly are.  

Why does being of service feel so good? From both a spiritual and physiological point of view, the answer is profound: serving is part of our true nature.  

According to yoga wisdom, the soul's original function is to serve – to cultivate love for the Supreme, and by extension, those around us. When we act in this way, we oppose the self-centred mode of living that the material world so often encourages. 

Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”  

You don’t need to be a spiritual scholar to feel the truth in that. Studies also now show that acts of giving can enhance our mood, reduce loneliness, increase social connection, and even stimulate mood-boosting chemicals in the brain. Simply put, when we live in service, we experience more goodness in our lives.  

That’s why this season at Live to Serve Academy is dedicated to service - to celebrating it, and helping you build a skillset for serving!

With love and well wishes,
