Yoga

This last week at yoga class we meditated on training the mind to think positively. The reason for doing this meditation is to be happy whatever may be going on in our lives. It is possible to have all we need and still not achieve happiness. It takes discipline to concentrate on positive things and filter out negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are not enpowering thoughts, they create obstacles, instead of solutions.

Tiger's Eye and Citrine are the crystal associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra. This Chakra is the centre of self-empowerment and the digesive system. Tiger's Eye is a protection stone and was used as a talisman against evil eye. Citrine repeals negativity and is used to bring abundance. Merchants keep a cluster of Citrine in their cash register to bring wealth.

This last week in Yoga class we did a meditation at the end which we were told could be disconcerting. The roles we have in our lives are not permanent, we may at one time be a wife, a mother, a daughter, have a certain job. It was all an illusion and that could be freeing. We need to have a core identity of who we are to function, but if we could acknowledge the fleeting nature of these roles it could be freeing.

This made me think of one of my yoga assignments I had for my Yoga teacher training. I had trouble distinquishing, unconscious, subconcious and conscious. Like it is the conscious mind that filters out things from the subconscious mind (not the unconscious mind, where there is no interaction going on that we are aware of). We wouldn't be able to process every impression, thought, feeling or attitude at once, we need to filter these interactions. It is not impossible to realize that life is an illusion, but if you don't live in this illusion, where will are you going to live? I wondered. One way of looking at it is, if things are not permanent, you can approach each day with a open heart, you don't have to hold onto unwanted hurts, because they too are an illusion, in the big scheme of the collective consciousness that we draw inspiration and understanding from, they just don't matter in the long term.

Music

I attended the Gower Rock Festival last weekend. It was almost rained out on the Friday, they were using pushbrooms to push the water down the drains and sandbagging. When we arrived and saw the water, we saw some people in a pickup and asked if the Festival was cancelled. "No, of course not, Rock Fesitivals are suppose to be muddy."

One of the bands featured were Mudjack, a blues/rock and roll band http://www.myspace.com/mudjackuk

Yoga

I went for my Practitioner Workshop day with the BSY last Friday with instructions to take my Yoga mat and wear comfortable clothes। We started out with a yoga session, the we each had to “instruct” the class on two asanas. The afternoon was spent on practical information needed to set up a class. Each of the students were from different parts of the county, it was interesting to see what plans they had for their classes and how much there is to learn about Yoga (it could take a life time and be time well-spent).
