Yoga Magick Current

 I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and I am now 34, on my way to Bali to share thoughts and approaches to yoga with you in a new context, on topics that, for various reasons have long become esoteric.    Have you been feeling disenchanted with yoga?  Do you have a strong personal practice, yet are feeling kind of well, like you have hit a wall?  A platform that leaves you with a sinking "lost" feeling?  Is there a little voice inside you, screaming to be released from some kind of stagnation that you can not quite pinpoint?   Why are we not gaining profound supernatural powers from our practice?  Does this mean enlightenment is some kind of myth or not for you in this lifetime?  Are supernatural powers truly limited only to special effects on a TV show or movie?   No.   They say the truth hurts... so please do brace yourself for some potentially stinging discomfort.   The truth is that we have evolved---poo...

This example of human ignorance, shared by a fellow Facebook user served as inspirational nudge for me to write down the following thoughts today.  Such thoughts result from not only years of meditation,  but a lifetime of dedicated examination of both ones own self and sacred scriptures (Swadyaya) that come with the Raja Yoga practice.    Dear friends, I have been thinking about teaching some WORD TANTRA to people who get all turned on by the word "tantra"---mostly since the word "discrimination" is being discriminated against and the idea of judgement is now fully "negatized".  Yes, I have to make up a new word to describe the result of large masses of human minds associating righteousness to the twisted words crafted into religious scripture -Specifically the book we call "The Holy Bible". Does any one else think perhaps some kind of "black magick" is happening due to a high number of humans reciting these distorted ...

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...

Those of you who are accustomed to my writings may have come to notice  that I can have the tendency to be provocative and share disturbing data.  Now that the Occupy movement is openly admitting failure, expressing that we need to innovate our protests, to avoid leaning on social media, they have asked for a miracle.  Allow me to present to you my innovative technique of protest... It is my personal interest (whether or not you share it with me is up to you) to do the following: CLEANSE THE SKANK. A lesser known secret about Mary Magdalene, the consort of Christ,  is that she was attempting to halt the meat trade, as we have been given plants for our meat. [If the Bible explains that eating meat is wrong, then what is the proper thing to eat?  Genesis  (1.29) clearly states: "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yieldi...

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...
