 Thank you Paul and John. Let me never forget that. Let me translate it every day, every way I can.
I am excited for my Mother Mary Restorative Teacher Training that begins next weekend, Aug. 26-28,with the Level 1 25-hour module, open to students and teachers ~ to anyone who desires to de-stress themselves and others through this powerful, profound practice.

I shiver ... with anticipation!
 Students are welcome to take the training for their own learning, and Yoga Alliance RYTs will receive CEU credits; or 100 hours toward their Advanced Teacher Training certification at Pure Yoga, if eligible.

 In surfing life's waves I continue to wonder at the vast oceans of unexplored beauties under our very feet, beneath the waves. Meditation is that. Prayer is that. Yoga Nidra is that. Hypnosis is that. My education in Reiki is just beginning, and it is certainly that. For a primer on this deep, rich, self-healing practice, dip into an article by Torsten A. Lange:
"The real Reiki principles are at the very heart of the original Reiki teachings. They are given a lot of space on the memorial stone and it is suggested that they’re repeated every day. By doing so, you may find what I eventually found for myself: they are utterly, utterly helpful. I cannot do without them any more. I would go as far as to state that they have transformed my life. I would strongly recommend following Mikao Usui’s advice. Every morning and every evening, sit for a moment in Gassho and repeat the principles." - Torsten A. Lange:
"This is a translation of the original version from the memorial stone:
Just for today,
Do not be angry.
Do not worry.
Be grateful.
Do your work with diligence.
Be kind to others."
I found Torsten A. Lange's discussion of the principles edifying!

 Life is really so incredibly short. I keep telling people that. And yet it is really endlessly eternal.
Yeah? How do you know that, you may ask? The fact is, I choose to know that. It is as easy to know that, as to know it is fleeting and then gone.
Yet knowing that, the brevity and eternity, makes each the sweetest possible taste in the juicy moment.
Relish yourself, in this moment.

 Coming off the high of the 5th Annual NY AcroFest, thankful for the community love it represented, even in the midst of the torrid, humid heat advisory that swept the city, I am delighted for more AcroYoga love upcoming.
