Dear Friends, A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.--Rumi Last Saturday morning (after an evening of dancing with friends at Claire De Lune), AromaYoga went off as a celebration of love and joy! There were around 60 people in attendance at LuluLemon in La Jolla. Our most gracious praises to Cindy and Trevahr introducing AromaYoga to the community. Students at Del Mar Palm Tree Yoga are getting to know and practice Trevahr's Tai Chi Yoga every Saturday and therefore advancing their practices in a wonderful way. A special thank you to those students who have followed us from place to place and to all who practice reg...

Dear Friends, It has bee more than a month but I still remember the vision and the emotion to follow with supreme clarity. I am so grateful, and I am found in this world and I know my tribe with clarity of love and heart as all of my being pours out of my chest into the arms of the beloved. It was on the Friday after New Years day (western) sometime around midnight and I was sharing the evening with my beloved Kunti and listening to Snatam Kaur at my brother Dave's house in Cardiff, CA. I had a vision of Egypt...and I started crying but not in a controlled way...just water pouring out of my eyes and energy of love pouring out of my heartspace. I saw my chest open up and send light up to God and almost instantly light returned from the heavens to snuggle and nest in my heartspace. I cried and Snatam sang... "I bow my head to God. And God took all of me. Every imperfection - God took all of me. And every day God lives And breathes Through me Oh, my Beloved! Kindness of the heart...

A letter from Bernd Pegels, Yoga Instructor and dear friend of Waking Within Community, as he tours the world in search of new experiences: “… my dear friends, greetings from this tropical paradise in the caribbean sea that enchanted us all with its warm winds and warm waters…and so much more! and what a place it is, once we got used to the peculiarities of the place we stayed at that is! roosters and dogs and birds and people entertaining us 24/7 in this interesting neighborhood that we called home for a week! but who needs thick walls and security gates when you can dive into all the flavors and sounds of this british influenced caribbean culture…listening to cricket games all day, being greeted good morning and good afternoon when ever we meet somebody in the street or in town and having a rum shack right next door to listen to the latest news that came along in one version of english or another! what a delight to see the ladies relax and let go…all the laughter and giggles, some t...

Dear Readers, This is an interesting subject as many of our community members have been with us for more than two years now and have likely noticed some name changes or at least spelling changes among members. Has anyone noticed that these occurrences are rather frequent or at least fairly predictable? The latest name change (spelling) was our director for Waking Within Yoga and community member Trevahr (formerly Trevor Ryan). There are several reasons for these changes and will elaborate on a few person specific ones and then further explain astrological and numerological reasoning: Trevahr (or sometimes Trevaar) is an Egyptian name. Trevor is an angelo-saxon word or name referring to "settlement" or "large static community," just as Trevahr also refers to "settling or grounding with others." Both of these name are powerful names for business and community as you may or may not have noticed in the tendancies of the "trevors" around you in yo...

Dear Readers, I am so happy and I wish to break away just as I am doing into the freedom and love of the World instead of this United States/San Diego stuckness. I feel supported. I sense it so intently; this will be the year that I travel and break away from provincial to become a citizen of the Earth. I wish you were here, I wish that I was there! My goal is to create community where-ever I go. I am planning on going and being present to people, towns, and communities: up and down the coast of California and the American Pacific Ocean, Arizona, Utah, Yosemite, Los Angeles, Peru, Brazil, and Ecuador. I also purpose a journey to the orient: China, Mongolia (in search of a "woman with strong legs"), all over Japan, and perhaps India and Egypt. I crave to be reunited with my past lives and the information that I know was collected then and there in those places by those people who I suspect were also me. The other night, I had a vision of a desert and what it was like to walk w...
