Well, here I sit, finally a little time to do so, very nice. I'm teaching more kundalini yoga these days, and loving it. Even finding it super fulfilling even when I have only a couple students, because afterwards you see it in their eyes and thats why you do it!

I always worried about numbers, numbers, numbers and thats not something that concerns me, and a very wise friend told me yesterday. Do what you love and that part will take care of itself. So, how does a well established hatha yoga teacher turn around and change into a kundalini teacher?!? I guess one class at a time. Which I'm doing, slowly. There are some studios its just not taking off at and thats ok, I will focus on the ones that it does work at.

I also am almost done with my training and will be certified by the end of April. Very nice, I told myself at that time I would through it out to the universe to tell me where I am to move. Yes, I need to move, I think its time. I have an option to move to Kansas City and help them run the Sikh Dharma/Kundalini Yoga ashram, but not sure if thats the right move, but it could be a first step! I also just fielded an offer to move to Japan to teach Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga and do thai massage at a retreat center, hmmm. That sounds awesome but not sure if I want to go that far to start off with! lol

I assume the skies the limit. I can go anywhere I want really, can't I? Who can stop me? I know people who travel all over the world penniless, why can I not do that? Well, I intend to do it, just not penniless! lol

I also intend a great many other things, but won't be sharing them all here and now. Summer solstice being one of them. I missed winter solstice and am by no means missing summer, even though the high desert is not my favorite place to be, but oh well. I also need to go because there's an Ecuadorian Sikh who will be coming so we can meet. He has a crush on me! lol, which is cool, we will see how that goes as well.

Ok, change my whole life, including the style of yoga I teach, possibly move, maybe get into a relationship . . . etc. What an awesome fucking year!!! lol

Since last fall this teacher training has change me internally and brought up so much stuff for me to look at about myself, that it only makes sense that everything external should follow. So I'm going to embrace it, let it flow, let everything be and grow with it!

Love to all, light to all, peace to all. Sat Nam

Teacher Training

This past weekend was another training weekend, only 4 more left and a white tantric to attend in Chicago and I'll be a certified kundalini yoga teacher!

I've broken through a block of some sort. I was in dire straits financially, still am not completely in the red yet but I'm feeling better. I wasn't even going to be able to make it to the weekend in Kansas City due to being so low in funds. My friend whom is taking the course as well bought me a train ticket and so I rode with her there, on the train. I love having my car, so it was a lesson in detachment, and I felt good about it all weekend and appreciative of her for helping me out when I needed it.

We learned the gong this weekend. I think I was overstimulated for sure on Saturday from everyone playing it all at once and then Sunday I woke up and felt clear and passionate about this work again, wanting a gong as well, of course, but about the yoga. After having had a month off of training (we initially were going every other weekend and then had a wee break during the holidays and heaviest winter month) I didn't want to go back and was irritated that I had to. I was tired of doing all this inner work and blah, blah, blah...etc. So now I see more clearly and feel more acutely the energetics of what we're working at after this weekend and I'm even enjoying the homework, which consists of banging my elbows into my own ribcage, to stimulate the 7th rib which encases a meridian that contacts the creativity of life, but wow! I'm loving it and am able to do it the full time of 22 minutes. Craziness.

I feel better teaching this stuff even and having that attitude, the universe is providing me more students in each class to enjoy it with me and receive the benefits of it. I think more clearly even, especially after the rib banging, but most of all with the 40 day meditation I'm doing (look up Sat Kartar, or kriya for opening the heart with that mantra) I actually feel my heart opening. Literally and figuratively, energetically, all of it. I'm feeling more compassion and love for everyone around me while at the same time able to be more succinct in my delivery of the teachings, and in my regular conversations!

Well, maybe I've never been one known to have "regular" conversations, but you get what I mean I hope.

Life is awesome. I'm holding myself in the vibration of abundance as well, and feel it coming to me. I am abundant, in friendships, in love in my life, in ability to connect with folks easily, I seem to be able to make it through every time I've found myself low in finances and get what I need to survive. I feel the blessings of my life now, in a more acute way.

I feel is the biggest thing, I feel. I feel everything, the breath of every being in close proximity, the openness of their hearts, the stimulation of their skin as the fabric runs across it, mine as well, just everything!

Okay, I want to just keep gushing but I'm off to teach another kundalini class in a bit. I have 4 now and they are all awesome, each in its own way.

Have an awesome week, and take note of the blessings in your life. If just for a moment each day, feel the appreciation for each thing, let the sensation well up inside you until you're ready to burst and then go out and live your day. It will bring you the greatest things!!!

Sat Nam . . .
