Shaman Stuff

It's great to be back home again - already four yoga classes so a good chance to say hello to many students - and introduce a new practice - that of "breath of fire" and "pulsing" - drawing energy into the body.  The "Breath of Fire"is like the yoga uddiyana bandha practice.   Come see what it's all about if you haven't already tried it with me.  Or, even if you have.  It's a great energizing practice.  And who doesn't want more energy?…...  So, today is a day at The Pond - no reason to go to town.  These are lovely days - beginning with an hour of meditation in the Yogatorium to a new CD of Steven Halpern's - meditation music in 5-minute segments for 70 minutes. By far the most workable meditation session I've had.   Left me with a feeling of being able to track with more success. "Tracking" is one of many, many tools now in my shaman's basket. It's a technique for following a client's energy.   ……As you can see, I haven't yet come back down to Earth….but I'm close enough…Here's a photo of my red maple tree right beside the hammock.    One of the most beautiful redness on the land here.   Although, the sassafras at the mailbox is great too - I'll get a photo of it today.
