Day 35


posted Feb 3, 2012 7:02 PM
During the cobra Kriya, I have learned that the tingling in my feet was indeed because I compressing a nerve in my spine!
 I will learn to be more mindful.   I have noticed my mid back has become a little sore and sensitive.   I normally have NO 
back problems ever, so I'm not really experiencing a lot of pain.. just noticing  I am really working that mid back with these 
kriyas!  I work to be very mindful about any discomforts to avoid injury.  The Kriya of Liberation at the end still remains
 challenging.  Today I thought about how there can be a subconscious temptation to put the arms down when switching
 mudras and you must consciously remind yourself "KEEP UP"!  I also must say that today I did the kriyas at the latest
 time yet (about 9:00) and it was not so enjoyable because I'd already been up about 3 hours and decided to go grocery
 shopping and then eat some breakfast before the kriyas.  What a mistake.  Definitely was more difficult to do the kriyas as
 close to the max time intervals as I would like to  and focus inward with so much hustle and bustle of life happening.  
Tomorrow I will wake up EARLIER, saver Amrit Vela and put this day behind me.

Also, on another note I came into the Buckman Yoga Shala at about 12:30 today.  Such a beautiful space.  If you are around
 the area of Morrison & 14th, do check it out!  So much wall space!  We will have FUN.  Anyway, I  did show up a little later
 than I meant to - I was supposed to be there at 12 to work out details since I am now a teacher there!  I was REALLY 
dragging behind today.  I try not to be hard on myself about my lacking, but I do still have that tendency and I must say I 
have recently learned that so does my mother for that matter!  Perhaps I should kick the new age-yness up a notch more and 
do some DNA healing. :)  (it's a feature of Kundalini Reiki)

Amazing Unicorn Mist?

I am beginning the initial stages of creating a high-vibration aromatherapeutic product called AUM. This is almost exactly what the label will look like!

What Are You Laughing About?

Image
Ha! Ha! Ha!  Have you been getting your giggles lately or has it been challenging to chuckle? We have all been in those situations where we perhaps find ourselves laughing nerviously  from time to time,  often to abait discomfort, or even catching and joining a wave of warm  laughter at a party, which can smooth out feelings of social awkwardness.  HA is a primal sound  that has come to be identified as a healing mantra (mind-tool) for our throat.   This explains why we laugh at the funniest jokes, that is, the ones based on truth.   Speaking the truth is incredibly healing, as it is yet another way to participate in your own personal constructive inner war on cleansing the skank.  Our hearts must be cleansed by admitting falsehood, weakness, and error, if we want to have trustworthy intentions and be able to see with our hearts, speak from our hearts, and love all others. Do you agree about the practice of laughi...

Pratyahara

Image
Pratyahara  means to turn the senses toward within oneself. Prati- counter/away/against (and can also mean TOWARD or to OBSERVE) Ahara- food or anything taken into ourselves. I would also like to extract the word "hara" from "Pratyahara", to make an interesting point... Hara - Energetic center, also associated with what we refer to as "the second chakra", called Swadisthana [sweetness] (womb -- can still be symbolic in males as that very source of self residing within us all.) Hara also refers to Shiva, who represents the essential embodiment of pure consciousness, and is also translated as destroyer/remover/seizer. Now, pure consciousness sounds great, but how is this also seen as 'destroyer/remover/seizer', why would we be turning toward removal and what are we removing?  Often spiritual practitioners turn to the mantra of HARA so that anarthas (impurities) are removed.  Impurities commonly addressed are those such as emotionally corrup...
