Shamanic Journey



Center of Labyrinth at Mable Dodge Luhan House

 Monday was a busy one - A delightful yoga class with Genevieve at Shree Yoga right off the Plaza a couple blocks.  I learned a new pose - "inch worm" - which I will teach when I return - not easy, but fun.  The hour was well spent - felt better all day.  The highlight of the evening was a shamanic journey with 6 of us at Jim's home a few miles from Arroyo Seco.  First off I took the wrong map Sally had drawn for us - to her house rather than to Jim's - but a short phone call fixed that and we arrived in plenty of time.  He opened sacred space, smudged us all, did a long guided visualization and then drummed for 20 minutes.  Afterwards we shared and it was amazing to me how much we shared that was the same..  This was my first experience lying on the floor (sort of like savasana) and going where the drum beats took me.  To a jungle and a meeting with jaguar, hummingbird, serpent, and turtle......Some of you will not have the slightest idea what I'm talking about - if so, just chalk it up to one of Jaquie's crazy interests and let it go..........Anyhow it was fun and I hope to enjoy more similar stuff while here.  .....This morning we're doing a bit of laundry, and just lazying around.
