Intention: Receive: Receive and refine your thinking. Refine as in to bring more clarity or refine as in to reduce to a smaller component of a larger whole? For me, it's all of them. Submit to all the things you don't have figured out. Know them and know you already have everything you need to … Continue reading Kripalu 7.28.16

Intentions: I can change my patterns when I change my mind about them. Fortitude: Stay strong in your body to create fortitude in your heart.

Kripalu 7.23.16
I walked into class yesterday morning, put down my mat, and retrieved my cushion, bolster, and block. It had already been the most delightful morning as this was the view for my individual meditation: I was there a little early, as I am a little early to most things. I saw this guy walk in. … Continue reading Kripalu 7.23.16

Well, coming out of here, I'm going to have a lot of reading to do. So much knowledge I want to drink in. I'll post the list of books when I get them all. Some gems from the day: "Too rigid is just too rigid." "My breakfast made your action" "Every time you serve others, … Continue reading Kripalu 7.22.16
Kripalu 7.21.16
The trip took around six hours, which is nice, because for some reason my brain (with no prior research) decided that it would take eight hours to get here. On the way, I saw three deer frolicking in a meadow. I thought to myself how cliche that seemed and wondered why my mind wanted to … Continue reading Kripalu 7.21.16
