May Numerology Forecast

My friend Nam Hari isn't doing her numerology forecasts via video but at least you can still read the full May forecast here.

Key points for May 2011:

• It's not beware, it's be aware.
• Get your ducks in a row.
• How is my health, and is there room for improvement?

Yoga Teacher Training 2011

On Saturday, I gladly volunteered bringing lunch to the new group of 2011 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Trainees at the Awareness Center, Pasadena, CA.  Wow, it feels like just a second ago that I was in their shoes, in my very first weekend of training!

Knowing what was ahead of them and what might unfold made me super excited; I wanted to connect with this group.  What better way than through food (spoken like a true foodie)?  A few of us 2010 graduates pitched in together, and my dish was salad.  As I created the salad the day of, I chanted mantras to infuse the food with love and well wishes.

Wahe Guru, owner and visionary of the Awareness Center, asked us graduates to say a few words to the class, regarding family groups cooking for Saturday class.  When it came to my turn, I told the group, "You can choose to bring your own sack lunch, or you can get together with your assigned family groups to bring lunch for everyone.  I suggest the latter.  Why?  Because, in spite of it sounding like a chore, it is in fact a good lesson to gain the understanding that when you provide what you can for others, you will be provided for many times over."

Prenatal Teacher Training

Just a brief announcement that Golden Bridge's Prenatal Teacher Training is coming up at the end of this month.  Here's the details.  

I've met amazing women from this training.  They came from diverse backgrounds, from simply being pregnant and wanting to know more, to being a doula who already helps women experience their own power through birthing, and yoga teachers from different styles (not just Kundalini).  A really profound experience and highly recommended!

Happy New Year!

Instead of getting wasted last night, I was at Golden Bridge Yoga's New Year's Eve Celebration, and did 3 hours of yoga meditation to usher in 2011 (along with ~200 other people).  It felt nice to get high on breathwork, and to experience group consciousness, as we move forward towards the Aquarian Age.  Here's some highlights from the event:

Do we have that post-meditation afterglow?

The gongs stand at attention.
