The First Personal Pronoun
This poem is from a book titled, Last Night I Died: Poems from Retirement Francis Dorff. O. Praem I think it is really beautiful and sums up both yoga philosophy and the highest ideals of Christian theology. None of this is belongs to me, but I believe this is a poem that needs to be … Continue reading
Spring Poem
Slowly arising from their wintry descent The animals and plants slowly come back to life With the daylight longer and the sun’s rays stronger, Our part of the World inches closer to the light. Seedlings become brave as the earth nourishes them With soil and water and sensing the warmth in the air With the … Continue reading
Circles of Light Chakra Meditation
I came up with this meditation during my Friday early evening yoga class. We did a visualization with the Heart and Throat Chakras. It was to help us open up the back and throat areas (area the three of us, myself included, complained were bothering us). This led to the meditation below. It is short … Continue reading
Kashyapa Mudra Golden Orb Chakra Meditation
I have once again incorporated the Kashyapa Mudra (see that last few previous posts) with the Chakras. I have also included the Golden Orb.

Kashyapa Mudra and the Chakras

Poem To Mother Earth
When I first started writing this, my goal was to write a prayer to call up the energies of the Earth. This is sort of that, but it is also a cry to respect Mother Earth, which is appropriate as Earth Day is approaching in the midst of a viral pandemic. Enjoy, and stay safe … Continue reading
Chakra Refuge Meditation
I combined the chakra system with the practice of seeking refuge in Buddhism. What I love about this meditation is that you can choose to focus on one or some of the chakras or focus on them all. This is also where I combined the hypnosis deepening technique of the staircase with the chakras. Enjoy! … Continue reading
Me
Tea in my pocket A crystal in my locket On my sleeve is my bleeding heart Like those who proudly display their art I will spend many hours Gazing at sunflowers Never getting bored Of beauty that shouldn’t be ignored. Writing words that fall out of my head Reading a good book in bed. Creating … Continue reading
Late Winter Sun
Hello late in the day winter sun, Showing up when the day’s already done. Telling us each day is getting a bit longer; Your rays reflecting off the snow making them seem stronger. Seems like your rising and setting in the same space, Your delayed and brief presence a gift quickly replaced By the dark … Continue reading
