Newsletter Feb 17th 2009

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 regularly.

Tonight is that Penguin Thing....free community gathering...an opportunity to meet friends and social in Del Mar! Now is the time to shift our interactions toward the attractive power of unity for financial security. It is natural to share from the heart and provide for your family with the sustainable warmth of community.

This weekend join our events and experience the healing properties of edible mushrooms and hiking all weekend as we have 3 events--see below for details. After the San Diego Fungus Faire on Sunday please join us for Wah! at Bodacious Living in Carlsbad.

Yoga Swami and Encinitas History

Readers and Yoga Adventurers, Just recently called the Yoga Mecca of the USA, Encinitas CA and Yoga Swami (where I teach two days a week) are special and are a must visit for any yoga adventurers. See the article in the winter 2008 copy of the Encinitas magazine. http://www.encinitasmag.com/about.html Encinitas, Swami's Surf Spot, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia...can be consider spiritual vortex hotspots. This evident in the number of places to worship just on the coast (west of hwy 101) near the cliffside beachs or Swami's and Moonlight. So my mother's family (mexican americans) lived in Encinitas during the period of time when Paramahansa Yogananda (the Swami that Swami's is named after). This time period was about the 1930's- 1940's. At this time Encinitas, was well liked by Swami Yogananda and he settled there for sometime. Swami Yogananda was a capricorn and he was a very involved meditator and yoga practicioner. His foundation still exists in E...

Salvia Meditations

Dear Friends and Alchemists, I am writing out of excitment and satisfaction. Last week we completed class number three and the experiencial portion of the Salvia Divinorum Ethnobotany series. In a well intended, meditative setting with wonderful friends we experimented with altered states of consciousness induced by Salvia Divinorum leaves... ...and we were totally SUCCESSFUL with amazing and fun journeys and deep meditations. So in honor of Spiritual Growth and with reverence to the Spirit of the Sage we are planning to add regular experiential groups for people like you to experience this God Given Sacrament (while it's still legal). Everything comes with intentions for the highest good and the most learning so we will offer a lecture on the herbs and the traditional context (shamanism) of the herbal practices and we encourage you to do your own homework and research. Check out the British documentary series: "Sacred Weeds" for more info on Salvia Divinorum a...

The Path of The Psychedelic Shaman in 2010

So the topic has come up clearly amongst my students and friends whose interested around psychedelics and altered states has finally peaked into practice: Is vomiting good for you? Is it healthy to throw up? Do the medicines considered Purgatives, have negative effects that throw the body off to the point of dysfunction? Do magic mushrooms have negative/toxifying effects when compared to someone else's so called cleaning medicines (ayahuasca and peyote)? _____________________________________________ My teacher and I went round and round today in speculation of herbs and healing as it relates to the body's psychoactive breakthroughs and potential healings. As he spoke, so many memories reminded me of how my primary medicinal study had been with mushroom medicine as it was originally involved with yoga, the rig veda, Christianity, the garden of Eden, and Aryan or Brahman Shamanism (not just psychoactive shrooms but all fungi). We talked about the mellow and medicinal effect of m...
