Pantry Moths

The common pantry moth is also known as the Indian Mealmoth.  Plodia interpunctella.  Plodding along and interrupting with great punctuality.  Feasting on grains, sugar, dried fruit, and nuts. Sigh.   I have pantry moths.  Not only do I have pantry moths, but 5 months ago I moved in with my beau and brought those suckers […]

No Mud, No Lotus…A Yogic Perspective On Our New Political Climate

Our Elemental OM tribe, if you can imagine, leans to the left and loves the color green so the last couple of days at the studio have been interesting.

Reflections on an Idealized Yard from 1980 something… Meditation to remember

I grew up in Pickerington, Ohio just east of Columbus, Ohio. I put it around 1977 – 1987. Moving to Pickerington was a big deal for my family because we bought a 2 story home and 1 acre of land.

When Death Hits You…Chanting For Those Who Pass

My Journey through “642 Things To Write About Me” continues and today’s random flip has taken me to: Whose death in your life hit you hardest, and how did you cope with the situation over the next month? Well this is a heavy topic.  It is interesting because fear of death is the reason we fail […]

Shamanic Naked Watusi…Never Again (Meditation to get you out of a situation)

My Journey through “642 Things To Write About Me” continues and today’s random flip has taken me to: Describe something “spiritual” you already know you’ll never do again, no matter how long you live.  I’ve added the “spiritual” to make this fun for me. This is an easy one and I love this story.  When I first […]

Spiritual Hypocrisy… Meditative Cure

I bought a cute journal called “642 Things To Write About Me” and have decided to approach it from the perspective of being a yogi and share.  A random flip started me with the following:  When did you first experience hypocrisy?  I’ve added the word “spiritual” because it interests me more.

The Sound of Silence

Our week of silence has begun at EOM studios and lots of folks have been wondering why. I’ve been asked if it’s because of the mass shooting in Orlando, the hopelessness of the presidential election, or possible climate shift. While I am moved by all of these things, it is not. It’s interesting to note, […]

There Will Always Be Evil…Orlando

The national discussion on guns, sexuality, and religion is loud today after the violence and loss in Orlando. I’m watching and listening. It feels to me generalized frustration has peaked on all levels from all sides of this same story playing out yet again. A generalized lack of common sense prevails and the desire for […]

The Lebanon Studio…My First

You never forget your first… Pain brought me to the practice of yoga just like it has brought so many of you.  Pain in the the physical and emotional form and not yet revealed to me, but pain also in a spiritual form. I love yoga.  It healed me.  I have the habit of turning […]

Are You Doing Your Sadhana

So I’m sitting in a moment. A dear one has blocked communication on the big FB after much drama involving mostly my inability to make their world right. This is a skill I do not possess. I cannot make your world right just as my teachers cannot make my world right. I care about you. […]

Sick of getting more of the same?

I found myself in conversation about Kundalini the other day. If you are new to the term as well, Kundalini is the manifest energy of creation. According to some yoga traditions, it lies dormant in the base of the spine coiled up like a serpent in three coils. Each coil represents a quality of perception […]

Abi Yogini….Laura Granado

I came to yoga when I was pregnant, and really just wanted to do something for my body while experiencing all the changes a woman’s body goes through for 9 months.

Contemplation to Prepare for 2016

Yogis,  I prepared the following contemplation based in the Yoga Sutras for the Aquarian Age.  I hope you find it helpful. Find some time to be pensive this week or on New Year’s Eve and make a plan for 2016.  Yogis live in the moment with one foot poised in the future.   You can […]
