Episode 107: SF107 Practicing Love

February 11, 2022 00:00 - 22 minutes - 24.4 MB

Before I recorded this episode, I sat outside for meditation, as I do daily, watched the squirrels, and contemplated love. The squirrels have been flirting with each other of late, but the love I was thinking of was not the romantic kind, but the deeper, divine love at the center of our beings – yours, mine, the squirrels’, and all beings’. The practice offered is my twist on Metta, or the practice of loving kindness. You can sit for meditation anywhere you are comfortable. Registr...

Episode 106: SF106 Yoga for a Warrior's Heart

February 04, 2022 00:00 - 37 minutes - 40.1 MB

The yoga practice sequence in this episode, which I’m calling “Yoga for a Warrior’s Heart,” came out of a moment when I was demonstrating Warrior II for a virtual client and remembered one of Will Keepin’s principles of spiritual leadership. The principle is that love creates the form, just like an open heart creates the alignment in Warrior II. I will guide you through it so you can cultivate your own warrior’s heart. You will find Pachamama Alliance and their Game Changer Intensi...

Fire Ant energy can be difficult to deal with. These swarming, stinging ants have invaded the southern part of the United States and are dangerous to humans and wildlife alike.

Mouse will take every opportunity, no matter how small or insignificant it seems, to find resources. The gentle supine yoga practice invites you to notice the subtle details of the poses and movements.  The shadow side of Mouse energy is a nit-pickiness that is probably procrastination, which is what I was doing when it came to continuing the My Shamanic Life podca...
