The Shadow Effect

feeds@yuku.com (jayzdreams) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 07:48:16 GMT

This seems like a good place to share learning experiences associated with "within".. Yesterday I attended a 5-hr Shadow Effect workshop at the East West bookstore in Mountain View, CA. I'm sure many of you have heard of it, and Debbie Ford, the creator of the program. But, it was brand new for me.

It offered very positive encouragement to go within and clear out that which we hide from others to release in order to free up the energy being wasted on holding...

It started with cynicism

Hi everyone!
I dropped by for a brief visit, but after seeing I missed Erich's B-day (happy b-day days late and a dollars short--de rigeuer for me I guess)
And reading about the Happy Farmer,
(who looks happy in his photo, and farming is truly the most noblest of all vocations along with teaching)
and Ana's quest for happiness through yoga, I thought i'd post this.

Not sure where to put it but it was my inner guidance that brought me to this way of...

now what?

Hi all,

Yeah, it's me, the absent webmistress.

I feel like I should give a short summary of all the stuff I've been dealing with for the past five years in case anyone new is reading, but then this post would be a thousand pages long. I think the important thing to know is that I haven't taught for the past 3 years at all, and not much in the year or so prior to that.

In two weeks Chad finally moves here to NY and finally my life will stop being in...

Overwhelmed? You too?

feeds@yuku.com (ManitobaYogi) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:39:44 GMT

Hello everyone:

Is it just me or is it the world? I feel overwhelmed with things I need to do. My work life is stressful, I am studying Yoga, struggling financially, and not having fun. When I teach Yoga there are moments where there is peace. Or when I am alone.

I try to follow the Yoga sutras and I also study Kabbalah. These paths help but sometimes the world caves in.

My partner is not a yogi and is more a realist and highly intelligent. He feels that he...

The Bird Me and Teaching

Hello all:

I miss writing on this board and sometimes feel like I am sitting around a coffee table with everyone. So cheers!

I enjoy being here and really need to come back more. I think it is a great way for us to all chat.

I had an interesting experience last week....

I was walking to work and heard this sheering sound. So I looked across the street and noticed a crow pecking at a small bird. I tried to run over quickly while waiting for traffic and...

I'm baaaack!

In case someone is new, or missed the big drama that unfolded in my life about a year and a half ago, the short story is I left my husband for a guy I hadn't seen in fifteen years. A couple of months later I was engaged to the new/old guy (aka Chad) and we had a house under contract. At the beginning of 08 Chad and I closed on our little cottage and I moved in (he continues to work in the DC area coming home on his off days). I went through two contract positions, then in September 08 I...

Messages floating on the ocean

feeds@yuku.com (jeannettel) — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:36:35 GMT

This weekend we had beautiful weather and took the opportunity to get out on the water and do some sailing. As I often do, I was looking at the names of boats .

The first one I noticed was called.... "Shiva"
the very next boat was... " Source"
and the next, .... "Freedom"

I was thinking how incredible it is the way the Universe speaks to us ,when we had to pass behind a tanker leaving port.

Hi All,

(Rona, check this out!)

As you may have read elsewhere on this board, I was in a car accident in March. It was completely not my fault, so I'm in the position of negotiating with the other guy's insurance company for a settlement. Dr. Rona has been seeing me for chiropractor appointments, which seems to be helping my lower back aches. She rocks!

So I've been distressed about how to proceed with making my claim. EVERYONE has told me to get...

feeds@yuku.com (sitaramdas) — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:12:37 GMT

my guidance for today:

don't hold judgement in your body. its your body, for crying out loud!

I had this very cool dream last night. It started out as one of my typical anxiety dreams.. I was in the kitchen of the house I grew up in , in New Jersey, but I was freaking out because I was supposed to go to work, was going to be late to work. My mother was there ( my mom died ten years ago), and I kept saying to her, I have to go to work, they are taking school pictures today, I have to go. Somehow, I couldn't ge tmy shit together, couldn't find anything. Then I noticed my...

The other night as I was about to fall asleep I was suddenly wide awake with ideas. I've had this happen often enough that I was able to recognize it as one of those nuggets that you want to write down because it has meaning for you. So that's what I did. As I finished writing stuff down I had a sense to share it on this board. I don't know why exactly but I've come to appreciate that I don't need to know exactly for it...

Sunday's class

feeds@yuku.com (sifumary) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:54:40 GMT

My Sunday yoga class is one of those classes I just love to teach. Whatever I do, they love it! This is such an easy going group, I feel so lucky to have a group of people like this.
Yesterday, I had 3 new people so I keep my class and instruction pretty simple. The class went well until the last 15 minutes when I did a few warrior poses with the group. One of the beginners, a girl in her late teens early twenties dropped her arms to her sides sighed heavily and...

great song

i was driving along today all caught up in a negative space and i put in a new cd that my sister gave to me - the song was by michael franti singing, "it's not who you love, it's do you love..." it was the perfect message to expand my thinking - it made everything feel bigger! all of his lyrics are amazing. thought of you all. jeni

Yoga is medicine

feeds@yuku.com (Eyez of Fire) — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:00:51 GMT

I do an hour and a half of yoga once or twice a week in the program that I am doing, P90X. I have made tremdendous progress in my strength and balance poses in 88 days so far. Im amazed at how much I sweat from movements in such a small area. Yoga is like medicine because if I am feeling sore, yoga fixes it. If I have a really hard cardio or muscular routine the following day, yoga prepares me for it. I never thought I would say this but Yoga is one of my favorite workouts I believe I...

Confirmation from the natural world

feeds@yuku.com (yogibaritone) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:36:03 GMT

I was outside cleaning out the shop vac filter this afternoon and as I had an "ah", a lone goose that was passing by changed his tune, pretty much directly over head. I smiled, interpreting it as an "amen" and she repeated the tune. I watched her flying off and she returned to her default honk. Then, as I projected a thank you toward her and universal splendor, she veered and gave me a couple bars of a most unusual tune for old bronta canadensis.

So often I...

Guided from Within

feeds@yuku.com (Speakfreely) — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 18:59:00 GMT

I just signed up for Erich's "Guided from Within" seminar. Earlier today, I had a recollection of an early childhood memory of guidance from within, and I wanted to share it here. I remember both my mother's version of the story, since recounted often to amuse friends, and my own experience of the event as well. My mom had apparently heard some horror story on the news about children being drugged or poisoned, and apparently had instructed us to not take candy from strangers. I...
