Vision Quest

Vision quest – a rite of passage in some Native American cultures.  I had a vision today about a little journey I would like to embark upon.  For those who know me I have had a really unsettling 2011.  It completely knocked me off balance.  I haven’t judged myself for the new waves of habits […]

Nataraja

Today my sadhana was blessed with Nataraja, lord of the dance!  An incarnate of Shiva representing all movement of the cosmos.  The reason for the dance is to free humans from the illusion.  The biggest fire in our Universe is the Sun and the sunlight from my window created a Nataraja on my yoga mat.  You […]

New Sadhana/New Moon

The New Normal

Today I was hearing a song in my head all day.  It is Bjork’s, “It’s, Oh, So Quiet”.  This song really resonates with me today except for one phrase in the song.  If you know the song there is a phase; It’s, Oh, So Quiet and then the riot begins.  Here is a link to the song in […]
