Intensive or not?

Well, is weekend did more empowering of my WTI (Women's Theology Institute)circle community than I would have imagine as the events of the weekend unfolded. So I took a flight to Seattle last Thursday with a brief stop in Salt Lake City, and I met Ade from my WTI circle. I spend my first night at her beautiful witchy house, full of Frida art, and a sea of Mother Mary.
A snow storm kept Jade in Madison over the weekend and my WTI sisters without a cosmology intensive. Of course, the gals were totally dissappointed and I was too for a few minutes. Then I just figured we could use the weekend as a Cella weekend instead. Why not? As the weekend went on without a second thought as to the strength and flexiablity within the group to adapt to the present gifts we were given. I felt the women really connect with each other and discover their creativity and personal power to let go and move on. I really got a clear picture of the groups relationship with the motherhouse and SJ.

Surrendering to your higher power

One of my good friends came back to her car only to find it broken into....at our soccer game. Living without attachments within the eight limbs have been personal struggle for me. Watching my friend detach from her cds, massage oils and her laptop, was hard for me to hear. I've been there....when my last car died in Utah and my Saturn wouldn't start a block away from my house. Car have an odd attachment with me, so does jewelry when I misplace something or it finds a new home with someone else. Attachments can cause so much suffering if we buy into the illusion. I buy into it less and less each time something or someone goes in or out of my life. That doesn't mean that the person or object wasn't meaningful in the moment, but the moment is gone to the next chapter if you will.
What or who are you attached to? Make a list. What would you do if they or those objects or feelings died or were taken from you? Do you trust that your are provided all you need within? That the higher power provides you with the strength within to overcome any obstacles.....

Booked to head to Washington the state...

After the train totally sold out, I found a plane ticket just my price..Yah! So I am going to the cosmology intensive that Jade is teaching. I spoke with K and Ade from my circle about rides and shelter. Ade will put me up one night and then we'll pick up Jade on Friday. I will be staying with K in Bellingham and flying out of Seattle on Monday.I feel I will be in good hands over the weekend. Hopefully, I will be able to get a plane ticket in June, too, for the cella circle weekend on Environment, I think. I have much to do before than...., but I ready should be focused on packing for this weeks adventure.

Erin at Tullius will be pleased I can work Wed. and Mon. nights for the speciality yoga classes:prenatal and gentle adaptive.

Anyways, I trying to figure out how to fit my yoga mat in my luggage for my checked bag. Hmmm....I will need my morning ashtanga.

the viruses are coming.....

I have never in my experience as a web designer heard of viruses on a website moving for one to another via a simple link on a page. Have you? I am serious. I want to know the truth here. When I was denied a link from my bio on Yoga Village to my own business website, Indigo Moon Yoga, I was shocked due to the reason-possible computer virus. I don't know if I believe it, but C sure does. After chatting with two website security consultants they clear up the issue that was rattleing in my head.
Could my website be infected? how? why?
Well, the truth is yes. The latest fad in computer hacking world is finding the weakest websites via the search engine google and putting a virus of the seemingly protected website, so hackers can get your personal info and sell it to crinmals, who will bleed your bank account or send spam emails, for example. Nowadays, computers exactly do the dirty work and of course a computer program to search out weak sites doesn't care if your website gets two web hits a week or two million. The computer hacking will serve you a virus just the same. So caution....the viruses are googling...

Awakening before it was cool or before Oprah.....

A few years ago, I witnessed my yoga teacher reading the Eckhart Tolle book, The Power of Now. I picked this book up at the bookstore and read it cover to cover while subbing in English classes over the course of a week. The openness and direct favor of Tolle's voice was inspiring and enlightening. When I heard he was to release his latest creation, A New Earth, I put it on my "To Read" list, and lucky for me so did Oprah.

I had forgotten this new tome of illuminating work on the ego until I saw the flashy Oprah special on Tolle and his awakening experience. I pick up the book and have been reading along with O fans, doing the workbook questions on Oprah.com and chatting with friends about the book. Who knew Oprah was secretly a teacher and avert student of yogi principles? Hmmm...does she do yoga? Well, anyway I am grateful the big O is supporting a community of people into their awakening. The whole experience the classes, workbook and chatting sessions have opened communication about one's life purpose or present moment and even better humanity as a whole.

My tummy is full, but I am still striking a yoga pose

Well, three months has pasted....I have two jobs now. I am the primary yoga teacher at Tullius Chiropractic & Pilates Center and the Ashtanga, Family yoga teacher at Yoga Village Studio . Of course, I am doing my Thai Massage thing at both places once my permits go through at the end of the month. The Yoga Village studio is off to your right, I'm posing in wheel...nice place;>


P has visited for a week, a glorious week of hiking and walking along the beach at sunset. This pic is from Pirates Cove. Hmmm-I miss P.
In a few weeks, I will be hopping a train to Washington for my Cella intensive with Jade and my cella sisters. I can't believe it.
