Mindful Roots: August 2010
http://mindfulroots.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Meditations at Pangong Lake. With rock as my seat,. Tucked in shawl to protect from high winds. I sit on the edge,. Of intense shades of indigo blue, aqua navy. Sounds crash into changing shorelines,. Sending ripples of timeless peace. Above us only snow. The 'Roof of the World'. Sits across the shore. A dip in her cool blue waters,. Is to step foot. In the 'Land of the Snow.'. 60% of its surface lies in China,'. A small yellow bird squawks,. A symbol of timeless freedom,. Surrou...

Saturday, January 16, 2010. Blissed and Blessed: an evening of restorative yoga. Mmmmmm. Just got home from a juicy Restorative Yoga workshop at Om Shala led by visiting instructor Christine McArdle-Oquendo.

While we ever-so slowly moved through our sequence, Aaron held the frequencies high with crystal singing bowls, chimes, and didgeridoo. Can you say Sat Chit Ananda. If you have never done Res...

They are separated into three categories, Vata - ether and wind, Pitta - fire and water, and Kapha - earth and water. Our bodies always let us know exter...
