Proud to be a Poser

posted 20 hours ago by Katherine Russ   
Hello yoga magickians!  It is I, your humble hostess.  
I have decided to start posting more regular photos of me in poses, 
so here is the one I decided to do today:

Padahastasana or "Feet to hands pose", also known by some as "gorilla pose".
 I suppose because your knuckles appear to be "dragging" on the ground and 
gorillas do indeed use their knuckles for transportation.

Mmmmm! My knees smell great! 


When I asked a gorilla's opinion on what she thought of this pose 
as a reference to her people, she had this to say: 


.






















........I think that this actually means "You're number one!"

Thanks, Gorilla!

Amazing Unicorn Mist?

Image
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! This gentle, moisture-balancing astringent purifies everything, including your complexion and the air. It also kills mildew, molds and germs! This is Amazing Unicorn Mist! If you spray it into your own face (with your eyes closed), it won't make you break out. In fact it will soothe your skin.  If you are experiencing Kundalini 'hot flashes', it can be a welcome relief from this or any other unwanted agitation.  Please feel free to participate in donating to the initial expenses to legitimize and package my product.  The first owners of this bottle will be the first 3 people to donate me $50 will receive a bottle in the mail before the April 13th in-store release date.  If you want to reserve a bottle for yourself, send me $18 in Paypal and I will mail it to you anywhere in the continental US. I will correspon...

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

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...
