Yoga Magick Current

I have been doing some serious meditating today on the unpleasant mental noise I have been airing just about ever since my Grandmother passed on unexpectedly when I was 8, causing extreme discomfort in every social circle I have ever been in, assassinating my own character, along with my chances of making genuine bonds and connections with friends and family.... Well, today I say NO MORE. I am tired of pretending that if I just stick to my bitchy, stroppy, "heavily opinionated" guns, suddenly one day everyone will simply drop everything and see "my point", rather than lodge grievances amongst themselves about my negativity and judgemental expressions.  I have realised that a lifetime of talking in socially unacceptable patterns; voicing malcontent with the world has caused me to store up increasing amounts of anger and feelings of isolation, ushering unnecessary crisis into my life, attracting pain and resentment.  The Power of Attraction indeed. Being that I ha...

I am LOVING Australia.  Wish you were here having a wicked time with the echidnas & I!  I have been trying some emergency disaster funding since I have not been able to work in any local capacity (not even busking) for my self due to having trouble applying for a residential status to stay here with my partner who is an Australian/EU citizen and legally work.  So, instead of feeling sorry fo myself, I am trying to be LEGITAMENTLY USEFUL! :D Now, I hope you do not think I might want to keep a dime of this money!! I am giving it all to a vetted emergency aid service.  If you can give any amount of money, you can also give it to Mercy Corps NOW: www.mercycorps.org  or you can go to my virtual donation basket at www.gofundme.com/helpnepalNow   I thought it would help me to more feel sane (less helpless) if I was to pursue a much smaller amount of money than the cost of a partner/spouse Visa application ...

You can talk positive all you want, but this does not mean that all of your life will magickly become filled with butterflies, cupcakes, n' teddybears.  The first two limbs of yoga, Yamas and Niyamas are of vital importance to a human being who truly wants to be strong.  It's not all about whether or not you can touch your toes, how well you can do chaturanga dandasana pushups, or whether or not you can get your leg behind your head in eka pada sirsasana.  It is about how you deliberately and consciously handle that which you have been given: a great and powerful mind, free will, and this precious body, which is one and the same as this earth, for you are presently embodying this sensual earthly experience. When you encounter something that you are finding to be unpleasant, uncomfortable or displeasing, it is a cue to step up to something which will grant you the opportunity to grow.  An intimate understanding of the yamas and niyamas of yoga helps us to handle thi...

Dear friends and family, I have been having an amazing time in Australia with my lovely partner.  Such a blessing it is for me that my partner is good friends with the organisers of global "conscious" events such as the Uplift and Wanderlust festivals.  Thanks to this blessing, we had an unforgettable Cockatoo Island experience in Sydney.  Attempting to make soul-to-soul eye contact with the city folk proved as impossible there as anywhere else in the world--just saying!  Anyway, the organisers just had a wonderful event in Rishikesh for world water day [check it out on www.upliftconnect.com ] .....Rishikesh is THE SPOT in India I would love to visit, however I have not yet arrived at a spot in my life where I have a student base that I can take on retreats.  Funny that I am a yogini and have never been to India, eh?   I am not a fitness instructor... I am here to inspire true pure health and enlightenment, in a world where careers and bank accounts are mor...

World peace is possible, but each of us are required to give birth to it.  Breathe life into the world that is you, through right conduct, recovering your power-- your true self.  When we can embody truth, we can positivly impact our community.  However, in the process, we must understand that which we call "drama".   Life is full of struggles, however we often tend to focus in on when these struggles are poorly handled, and call it "drama".  No. Grumpy Kat says "NO"!  This is an unconstructive dead end dispute.   Drama is necessary for human progress.  This is why it is so easy for us to rationalise and readily defend the importance in the creative consciousness outpourings of others, known as theater, cinema, and books.  We are placing our own stories on the backburner in favor of other people's mental products.   We are hindering our own ability to tap into the innate revelatory and powerful psychic potential locked within each of u...

Yoga is yoga.  No matter what name any one person decides to assign to the asana practice they chose to share, please understand an individual who is inspired to create their own form of yogasana* is coming from a place of limited (not infinite) understanding on the conceptual scope and depth of yoga.  This is not necessarily bad.  It is, however an act and commitment to selling a physically focused specialisation, which constricts the potentials of humanity to the physiological world.  This focus swells the idea of flexibility and fancy workout clothes to the point of it appearing (especially to the beginner) to be a central focus.  This branding of this largely underestimated sacred beast is in its nature a distortion in yoga's unification message.   When you find the yoga practice that is fully appropriate for your wellbeing, you have found your teacher---you  will have found your self.  *yogasana- the little part of yoga that ha...

Dear (yoga studio), I have enjoyed what free time I have been able to spend at the (yoga studio) and find all the teachers I have come into contact with absolutely lovely, so anatomically knowledgeable and alignment oriented.  I really appreciate the stressing of the fundamentals such as attention to exercises in fine-tuning the evenness of foot pressure through all four corners in both level one and level two classes. A little bummed out that I am yet to make it to a level 3 class. Anyways, it is always nice to be reminded of the little things and guided to better alignment in even the simplest of poses.  Always a nice and humbling reminder to know it is okay to kick it down a notch or two....  I always find it so hard to go continue paying a yoga studio AND do what the teacher is asking when my energy inspires me to move differently (take a deeper version of a pose or deviate to an entirely different one occasionally), as I have built upon my practice for over 15 ye...
