World Travels of the Yogi Baron

...my dear friends, hope as always that this note finds you well in body, mind and spirit!

have been spending the last few days and - for that matter the final days of my trip - here in puerto morelos on the mayan riviera...and what a delight it is to be in this cute little community just south of cancun! so grateful to have come, hang out with good friends and let time run through my fingers without much of an agenda!

and off time I needed after letting go of my mom who returned safely to germany. a short but very nice visit with a friend on st helena island in the low country outside savannah, ga, was quite inspiring and brought me back to my world...teaching yoga and taking class, partaking in a video about yoga and movement and having fun doing it! what a delight!

back to miami for a week-end of south beach...beautiful people around me, good food, plenty of drinks and the wonderful company of a good friend...and all of this between the pool-side lounge beds at the delano and the mondrian hotel! what a world, what a dynamic, loved and enjoyed it for a few days...

now, here, there is nothing to do and no where to be...apart from exploring the mayan remains that I found quite suitable for another second home of mine...check out the pics! a perfect ending to this perfect trip of mine, time to contemplate and digest and just sit with what is...and let the caribbean wind blow me over! yeah!!!

will be back in encinitas early next week...and will be open for business, massage business that is! for you guys out on the ranch I will see you for yoga as planned...for everybody else, sorry, no yoga classes scheduled as of now, will keep you posted about what will unfold!

so let me know if you are ready for a massage...you know where to find me!

lots of love and light to all of you!

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...
