Springsteen, Halloween, and Yoga Practice

HAPPY HALLOWEEN YOGINIS & YOGIS!
This is our day – a day to enter the dark side of human consciousness. A night to explore the moon shadows in our existence. Meditate on all of your faces, not just the snappy one you wear to work.
What do you look like at your lowest level of being?

Martha’s Yoga
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 29, 2008
It’s great to see where yoga is going and it’s wonderful to watch newbies – folks who’ve NEVER done any yoga and listen to their reactions. While creeping through Martha’s blog, I found her and her niece teaching yoga at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women’s Summit….eeee gads, who woulda thought? Lots of big name women who [...]
Ringing, Chanting om
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 29, 2008
It’s ironic that at a workshop titled Inner and Outer Strength, chanting made the strongest impression. Well, maybe not; maybe the hard asana work prepared the channels and enabled an opening as never heretofore experienced? Chanting does require inner strength of the vocal chords and deep release of the diaphragm.
In the white studio, thirty [...]
Wild Turkeys – Interbeing
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 22, 2008
While walking around the yard this afternoon, thinking about the myriad garden chores that need to be done before the white stuff blankets my green babies, I heard a strange whistling. Turning around, Tom & Terry Turkey strutted with Junior trailing not far away. If you’ve never seen one of these quirky birds, check out [...]
Breath poem
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 21, 2008
every single breath
moist inside
and without time
every single part of every breath
musky the inhalation,
a pause
where is my mind?
the exhalation egregious
sultry or smooth, silken or salty,
another pause – maybe – or not
beginning?
middle?
end?
who taught me to breathe?
this in breath comes faster,
no pause
sighing out breath
was there a first breath?
releasing all that’s past, begin [...]
Do you believe you can?
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 10, 2008
Barefoot College is an amazing story of faith in action. There is the vision of its founder, Bunker Roy, the faith of every single middle-aged student, the confidence of every village the women students come from and return to electrify, and the belief of Barefoot supporters around the globe. If you’d like to know [...]
body heart and soul poem
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 2, 2008
body heart and soul
I could not hope
to touch the sky
with my two arms
(Sappho # 129)
I descend
the slippery drive
into Panterra—
a green cleft in
earth’s crust—
smitten with the song
of om,
driven by a guttural thirst
to expand,
condense,
invert my vision.
she waves me in
to truth,
I rise from the illusion
of the rickety ride here,
into
the company [...]
