“Meet this world with neither grasping nor fear. Trust the unfolding of life and you will attain true serenity.” ~Bhagavad Gita Another way to think about Yoga is as a neurological cleansing where the effects of past actions are released, not on the basis of meaning, but neurologically dissolved from the inside by the pure bliss consciousness inherent within us. We do this in meditation and yoga nidra. This…

Here’s the astrology chart for our yoga nidra this Sunday. I find it makes for a delicious experience if I take the time to study the Timescape© for the event. Timescape is a word I invented in 1989 to describe the particular astrological technique I use to help people manage their time better. Time, and our management of it, is a major stress factor for our modern day society . …

and there’s a storm brewing named Saturn. It can’t get any more metaphorical, can it? Today, at 2:15pm est, (about to become edt) the moon conjoins pluto. It’ll be an intense moment for some, so intense that it has the potential to transform you. Indelibly. more later. may all beings be safe. om shanti, shanti, shantihi
Namaste, Everyone. I’m facilitating another Yoga Nidra tomorrow morning. First one of the year. Can’t believe it’s 2013 and we’re all still here!! Just kidding. The astrological aspects are so supporting for this kind of yoga practice right now. The possibilities are limitless. The little stellium of Sun Neptune, Chiron and Venus re-affirms a drive towards spiritual healing.
It’s time for another Yoga Nidra experience. Who knows what will happen this time? Surely, not I. Nevertheless, it’s important to continue the research. Scientific documentation seems to be important to a lot of people, as if that were the absolute truth of any matter. Those on a yoga journey are learning (or rather unlearning) different perspectives. I’ve been teaching yoga and yoga therapy for a long time now and…
Recently, I have had many good reasons to delve further into how & why we heal. Because, some of us actually do heal from our physical/mental/emotional/spiritual challenges. And some of us don’t. It’s a fine line that divides those that do from those that don’t, and it takes a subtle, intuitive eye to discern. Microscopes are useless if you’re looking for the big picture. I’ve learned from a 40+ years…
I began facilitating stress management classes around 1989, but here’s a tidbit of information Ilearned in a recent YTT class on stress-management. When they did all those studies to determine what is known as the fight or flight reaction they used men. After observation those were the words that were chosen (Fight/flight) to represent the surges of adrenalin and cortisol as witnessed in a male human body. Fight. Flight. Sounds…
It’s a void-of-course moon again today! Oh, yippee!!! Because I don’t think I have another ‘productive’ minute in my body. It’s time to re-group and practice some deep breathing. Chiron’s coming around soon. It ends around 11:24 pm tonite……… yup, time to get a good rest in. The void-of-course moon is like a microcosm of the longer measurement of time called the balsamic phase of the moon. The difference is…
Have you noticed how the outside really does reflect the inside? All the time. I’ve just returned from Kripalu Center where I was able to take on the role of musician in the Saptah ‘event’ and then facilitator and yoga leader in the IQI. A lot happened. Nothing happened. The stillpoint that becomes present when I find my center was exquisitly healing for me personally & professionally. And, just…
