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...

Journey of Las Medicinas y Church of the Sacred Spiral

Dear Friends, Some of you joined us and many of you heard that last weekend we completed a beautiful series on the Magic Cactus with our Ethnobotany students. I held space along with some of my dearest friends and presented a series of Neo-Shamanic altars and rituals. The divine Earth we walked upon for our journey to healing was a blessed and sacred site that my family owns on the back side Palomar Mountain. As we got out of the city and into the country, I prayed for perfect weather and perfect community. Sunday throughout the ritual and the hiking that preceded said ritual, I was overwhelmed with GRACE for those who chose to stay behind and not attend this journey. I honored their path and allow them to continued to build trust in themselves and the medicine work and in nature and weather. When we arrived, the weather was perfect and mild and incredibly...there was rain everywhere except for where we hiked. All week and the day before, people were scared of bad weather and hard time...

Dreaming the Dark Times 3: Salvia and Mushrooms for Seers

  Salvia the diviner’s mint, is one of the most powerful psychedelics in the natural world. It along with Magic Mushrooms are used traditionally by Meso-American shamans (Mazatepec, Mazatec, Zapotec, etc) and my ancestors for purposes of healing and visions. Unequivocally, magic mushrooms which are containers of psilocin, psilocybin and baeocystin have been consumed by nearly all our ancestors including lighter skinned and nordic peoples. Salvia has only recently become a whole world phenomenon with many places banning it. Most western people take salvia as an extracted smoke, while most people in history chewed the leaves and burned them dried and unextracted. Salvia when taken orally as opposed to smoking seems to be the best focus of this article on dreaming. Some psychedelic effects are possible with this method especially if you are holding your saliva (spit) in your mouth for at least 20 minutes along with the herb or extract. Most of these are spiritual, central nervous syst...
