ShivaShakti Synthesis: Exploring Vrksasana

http://shivashaktisynthesis.blogspot.com/2012/10/exploring-vrksasana.html

Friday, October 5, 2012. Notice what it feels like to hold the pose. What feels fluid within you? What feels tight or drawn? Do you have a sense of energy flowing? Take a look at the foot that you're balanced on - are the toes scrunched and white? Is the knee of your "standing leg" locked? What is your intention for this particular pose? Are you trying to stay as static as possible.trying not to fall? As Erich Schiffman reminds us, trees sway. Change is the only constant.". Now prepare to jump but don't ...

Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Neti, neti - not this, not that; well, then who am I? I had never considered Columbus home the entire time I lived there. And now I was hearing Home. A little bewildered, but with certainty I Iistened to the voice and moved back to the place that had long been waiting for me to realize was where I needed to be. Many of my dearest friends live in the area of their birth and are quite wonderful and unique. They don't need explanations. Why do I? And does it work? Bandha Yoga: Dr&#...

Monday, April 2, 2012. Panchakarma - Release and Rejuvenation. Panchakarma - Release and Rejuvenation, by Kristin Stevens. Last year I was challenged to confront everything I knew about health because I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Wait, what? Um, yes, sign me up. What exactly is panchakarma and how does it work? What are the benefits of panchakarma? What is it actually like? Is it worth it? What is it actually like? How does it feel? Although the treatments work at all layers, a lot of ...

ShivaShakti Synthesis: February 2012

http://shivashaktisynthesis.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Holding Space as the Teacher. Holding Space as the Teacher. The Yoga Alliance standards, as well as the ethics statements of most, if not all, yoga teacher trainings that I know of are quite explicit on teacher/student relationships. The ShivaShakti Synthesis ethics statement, which all students have to agree to and sign in order to teach, states the yoga teacher/therapist:. Will not take advantage of students/clients financially, sexually, romantically, or otherwise. Unifying...

Wednesday, October 26, 2011. The gift of presence. The gift of presence. 8220;Listening is more than simply hearing. Listening involves all the senses.” Jim Canterucci. How often have you said or heard someone say they just want to be seen, they just want to be heard? Why is it we feel this way? So how can we learn to listen? Try this exercise with a friend. First, one of you will choose to be the “listener” and one will be the “speaker.”. What is your sense about what is present? Where is it felt? It is...

ShivaShakti Synthesis: December 2011

http://shivashaktisynthesis.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 30, 2011. Two long nights, one short day, the Buddha smiles (haiku, author unknown). More and more I hear people say they are not going to celebrate this season because it is full of crass commercialism, stress and stems from a tradition that they may be at odds with. I could not agree more that the meaning of the season can get lost in the melee of expectations that have been placed on this time. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. What does Reciprocal Inhibition mean and why does it matter?

ShivaShakti Synthesis: March 2012

http://shivashaktisynthesis.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 26, 2012. So it came as quite a shock that these children were not doing well. They were failing to thrive. Some died. From this experience we learned that touch, the sense of being loved, held and protected by caretakers, whether that be parents, grandparents, friends, or neighbors, is just as important as food to the development of a child. That the developmental concept of "nurture" is just as essential as biological concept of "nature.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
