From Catwalk to Calm: How Lama Aria Drolma Found True Meaning Beyond the Glitz and Glamour
Share
Buckle up and dive into the mesmerizing tale of Lama Aria Drolma, the former fashion diva who traded designer labels for monastic robes! Think the life of a runway model is the ultimate dream? Not for Drolma, who dazzled at Milan, Paris, and New York Fashion Weeks, striking poses for the likes of Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren. Despite the whirlwind of luxury, glamour, and VIP access, something profound was missing.
Drolma, now a mindful nun, would tell you that beneath the surface of glitz lay a longing for something real. In 2008, she hit a turning point, feeling a gnawing void despite having 'it all.' What was the meaning of life she was missing? Her search for answers led her to a New York Monastery for a grueling three-year retreat. Imagine shifting from a life dripping in opulence to a minimalist one where letters are the sole connection to the outside!
But this was no ordinary transformation; she took it head-on, shedding materialism for mindfulness. Today, her days start with prayers, filled with intent and compassion, a far cry from runways and flashing cameras. Her journey back to Bengaluru is a testament to her mission to share the art of mindfulness meditation. Having enlightened souls at Harvard, Oxford, and even the Google headquarters, she sees a common dilemma: today's youth drowning in stress and anxiety.
Her advice? It's not about spirituality but living intentionally. Unplug from social media's chaotic influx and start your day with gratitude. Why not leap into today declaring, 'This is my plan'? The heart-stirring journey from fashion to faith awaits!
