Little Bo Breath

Black and white drawing of Little Bo Peep with her crook, with an arrow and the words Breathe Side Body Longer Little Bo Breath has lost her depth,

And can’t tell where to find it:

She closes her eyes, tunes inside

And breathes from hips to armpits.

When you feel shallow and dull, deeply breath to get more full.
Settle your seat and settle your feet.
Close your eyes and visualize a cave in each armpit;  dwell inside.
Breathe in waves from hips to caves.
Deepen each region of your pits, so a ball of wool could comfortably fit.
This transpires to the cave of your heart, embodying this depth is an art.
Serve others from this Chit,  that all begins in your armpits.
Dare to roam this deep, no matter how intense get the sheep.

  • The Royal Mind

    Hmmm, Our Monkey Mind
    Our Mind Monkey~
    Is restless, and random,
    Rebellious, and junky?
    Silly, and scattered
    Like a toddler in its movement~
    Won’t settle down,
    And needs vast improvement?
    The mind is a problem,
    That we need to control.
    It’s random, and restless
    And a bit of a troll?
    That’s nonsense, we say!
    And quite derogatory!
    The nature of the mind
    Is going for glory!
    The mind is evolutionary,
    progressive, dynamic.
    Always seeking and moving
    toward that which is magic.
    So, think NOT monkey mind
    More like, mind is royalty~
    A King to Serve
    With Love and Loyalty.
    But, how can we Serve,
    The Great Intelligence of our minds?
    By meditation and mantras
    And movement refined.
    By exceptional quality
    Of the company we keep,
    What we see, what we hear,
    How well we do sleep.
    By lavish feasts of sutras,
    Of songs, and of silence,
    Of settling, and stillness
    And speech for your Highness.
    Much of your activity
    Will settle in bliss~
    Yet portions of Royal Mind
    Will continue to hiss.
    And that, my dear friend~
    Is the Great Intelligence~
    It wants more and more
    Of higher elegance.
    The Discipline of yoga,
    Now, you see,
    Is in permitting and inviting
    This process~ to BE.

  • Love in Your Head

    On this day, we invite you to practice the Love in Your Head pose gifted to us from Elie, age 6.
    “Close your eyes. Breathe and get still. Pour love into the top of your head. Not just one thing you love! Pour everything and everyone you can think of that you love into your head. Keep going until your head feels full of love and joy.”
    Love is the most powerful activator for positive change to manifest on this planet.
    Thank you Elie, for being the light of awareness. You are living wisdom. You are Love.
