We're starting to count down the last few days of this training session. Here are a couple of my fellow students. Franny on the right is a two time cancer survivor and an inspiration to all of us as our most senior participant. Joyce, the shining face in the middle, is holding our Ayurvedic text. She has actually had several years of instruction from a master teacher, and we've perhaps learned more from her. That's what is happening. During breaks, we all share our wide ranging specialties and that time has been perhaps more instructive than the regular curriculum. On the left is Ann, a physical therapist. She is amazing at adjusting in postures. I would consider travelling to Seattle to take further teacher training from her! In the background is the portapotty. You see, there is a shortage of bathrooms... 25 people on site and 3 regular bathrooms! This has proven to be one of the biggest challenges. Going without wine... without snuggling with my honey... no onions or garlic... getting up to meditate at 6 am.... but the lineups for comfort breaks are what is straining me to the breaking point!
There are so many new ideas and practices that I am hoping to share with our Yoga Centre sangha. Here is a "prayer" that we have used frequently and I have grown to really love it. I am hoping to use it for closing our classes ...
"Om Namah Shivaya; Om Namah Shivaya; Om Namah Shivaya;
With great respect and love, I honour my heart, my inner teacher. Namaste"
I have witnessed so many amazing energy experiences here, and felt my own energies dancing. I have some powerful mudras and intentions to share as well. Remember, your nadis, or energy pathways, respond almost instantaneously. Shifting your awareness can bring a flush of warmth or sensation of movement to any area, along with healing and balancing.
Om shanti.
