Sap is flowing once again from root to trunk,
from trunk to branch,
to every leaf
and bud
and blossom
on the tree.
The frozen days are past.
Now is the season of flowering,
when the full force of energy moves up
and up
to manifest its destiny.
It is everything to me,
this new life springing forth
from ash and compost,
this chance to nurture,
weed,
and prune,
to patiently receive the miracle that blooms
as if no force on earth
can turn aside its beauty.

ps……….I’ve been in the garden for days now and nature has rewarded me with a bloom on my clematis vine. Finally!!!
If you have landed on this page looking for information on time & time management you have found it. However, be prepared. You may not find what you expect.
My fascination with time might have started here. It was only a few years after that I came across my first astrology book. It always made good sense to me that the sky represented a big clock.
For over 20 years I practiced my skills as an astrologer while working in the real estate industry. I worked as a Broker/Agent, Office Manager, and Trainer. Time Management was a favorite for new agents/managers. After all the typical stuff of goal setting, etc., I always included the recognition of cycles as part of the training. I taught them how to set up their appointments to maximize their time aligned with the soli/ lunar cycle. Many reported back to me thru the years how helpful my training was and how it continues to help them even today. My time-skills expanded into other area’s of work, quite naturally and effortlessly………of course I was practicing everything that I preached, otherwise, what’s the point?
So, please feel free to float around this blog and discover all sorts of time tips, techniques, and tidbit’s of information. In this post the discussion continues.
One of the neat things that you can do with a blog is check your statistics. The site I’m on keeps all the numbers for me. As of today I have had over 2000 people view this site. Wow. I’m not sure I know 2000 people! I’ve made 39 posts since starting in Feb. 07 and the top post on my site has been Man’s First Breath. I’m not sure if any of this is important in the grander scheme of things but it certainly amuses me and brings home the power of the internet to share information.
They’d have a lot more fun if they’d take their shoes off and lighten up!
………24 days until danskinetics!
The Yogi, whose mind is in harmony,
finds rest in the spirit within and deep communion with the whole
Free from restlessmess her soul is like a lamp whose flame burns steady in a shelter where no winds blow.
Bhagavad Gita VI: 16-21
What happens when you add the element of sound to a hatha yoga practice? We’ve been exploring that in my classes for months now. After our centering and some preliminary pranayama, we’ve practiced ‘toning’ using various vowel sounds. During savasana, we’ve practiced toning the bij mantras for each chakra. I’ve noticed a remarkable difference in my students at the end of these classes.
The ancient yogi’s understood the world to be made up of vibration or sound. Vibrations exist outside the body and inside the body. Frequently our inner vibratory rate is mis-matche3d with the external vibrations. This creates imbalance, dis-harmony, chaos and of course stress. When we integrate the aspect of sound into our yoga, things begin to smooth out and harmonize……………..physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually.
Don’t take my word for it though…………..discover the gifts of nada yoga yourself.
………………dharma and karma and how that plays out in my life. The last time I pondered this polarity was here, in Arjuna’s tale in the Bhagavad Gita. Destiny, fate, call it what you will. We have ALL recognized the appearance of such events in our lives. Some of us recognize these synchronicities in their personal lives, and neglect to see same in their public lives. Others vice versa. Are you thoroughly confused now? You might be……..that’s the nature of polarities ( and dualities, too). It’s enought to make your head spin! Then you throw into the mix all the air sign people( Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) with whom duality & polarity are a daily/minute-to- minute struggle/agony they live with. Whew………………enough all ready. The futility of pondering duality is immeasurable.
Time to sit.
