Catching up, Making Movies and Clown Yoga

Greetings to yogis, magickians, seekers of gnosis and everyone else! I thought I would brief you all on what has been going on in my life lately, just in case you've been wondering.  I have been teaching classes as usual, practicing Muladhara (root chakra) kriyas (aka Kundalini Yoga) as a daily sadhana, as I have chosen to meditate for 40 days on each chakra, moving up from the bottom, working my way all the way out to my aura. I am currently on about day 35 of the root chakra exercises.  These Sadhanas are normally conducted one at a time, forty days in a row, without break.  If you miss a day, you must start all over again. Them's the rules!  I have also been preparing for my clownyoga workshop coming up THIS Saturday at 2:00 PM which will have some acting games, movement and mime games along with some things I personally developed.  Our warm-up will also include " The Ancient Secret of the Fountain  of Youth "  (AKA  5 Tibetans) exercis...

Why are you afraid of sharing your fears to the world? Your pain? Your UGLINESS? I know you have it in you. LET IT FLOW OUT. This is how you experience ascension. Sharing photos of pretty butterflies, angels, sacred geometry an d beautiful landscapes is pleasant and everything, but it's not going to help you to attain the clarity of self-realization. You might at first find this free flow to be uncomfortable, ugly, savage, bitter and frightening, but eventually, you'll be able to stop wasting so much energy to hold up your projected holographic facade. We (those of us who know how to flow) can see straight through those who are holding on to their trash.  Why does our desire for comfort send us from one unnecessary destination to the next?  Trust me, friends. You are wasting more energy than you will ever comprehend if you don't do so. Why are you afraid to lose your friends if your friendship is only a dam of illusory love, holding back an ocean of fear?  What e...

Santosha Retreat - Are you Satisfied? (do it your self!)

Image
 The true metropolitan yogi test: Can you be happy with (next to) nothing?  P icture this: A TRUE santosha yoga retreat.  An exercise in being satisfied with having just enough to get by.  It is as simple as leaving your home with a tent, a few basic survival tools and the clothes you have on your back (OK maybe a change or two), along with enough means to eat just enough each day to not waste away and involuntarily experience mahasamadhi (that's fancy Sanskrit talk for leaving your body through letting go of all your Earthly attachments).   In a true santosha yoga retreat, you do not need a yogi support group but it is acceptable to take a fellow yogi with the same intention and focus if you are taking trip far from civilization.  In a true santosha retreat you do not party, surf or snorkle.  you do not need a spa, fancy cuisine or a beach resort.  If you have practiced consistently for more than 5 years, you no longer need to fol...

"Mmmmm... Why Do I Feel SO Good?" -Kundalini & Being a Sensual, Spiritual Woman

Image
Women not bound to a relationship that obligates you to 'sexual duty':  Find the rewarding experience of sensual ecstasy that a woman receives for simply having an open heart and mind. I exchanged notes with a friend who is in her 20s today. She has been single for about a year now and is now experiencing the sensual arousal of her kundalini.... "i have intense sexual dreams but thats bout it on the action i get ,,, so it doesnt take much to get me turned out, my sensitivity went up a notch, i just see someone really attractive or sensual and get aroused and feeling of tingly rush haha its kind of sweet actually , thinking im openin the kundalini... cuz i get those rushes at varios different parts of my body...." I know what sensations you are talking about. it is your kundalini. Feminine energy is PRANA.. the upward current. If we are a sexually awakened woman, it is easy for us to accomplish spiritual ecstacy by simply opening our minds. Men have no clue why...

What Possessed James Holmes? Thoughtforms: Abstract Theory or Reality?

Image
Involuntary thoughtform invocation is akin to a nervous breakdown. Thoughtforms have a shockingly broad influence on behavioral mental and social health as well as spiritual ideologies.  Often they appear in the form of an archetype and are perpetuated by institutions and repetitive behavior or ritual.  Religions, books, cults, objects and sites of worship or films, as well as acts & deeds (publicized and secret) are also intimately connected to thoughtforms in a cyclical fashion.  The aforementioned not only bring thoughtforms into being but are eventually also perpetuated via support from individuals who choose to relate to them.  I n ancient times predating modern religion, thoughtforms were more prevalent in use for specific practical purposes, such as building superhuman energy and sensitivity to guarantee a successful hunt.  In our modern time unless you are doing a religious ritual, practicing magickal workings for your own personal r...
