A beautiful meditation practice is called Japa Mala. You use a mala or Rosary starting with the center big knot (Guru knot) and as you touch each bead slipping it across your finger, you say a mantra. It is a way to keep count of the repetitions of your mantra. If you use a mala, […]
Meditation is finally catching on in America and it is estimated 30% of Americans are now meditating. This is great news for the individual and for the collective. In fact, the Dalai Lama said if all eight-year olds were taught to meditate, we would have world peace in one generation. I believe him. I teach […]
Setting Intentions on the mat with Tiny Devotions If you are new to yoga or have been practicing for some time, you have probably figured out that yoga is beyond the physical, very much mental, and ultimately a spiritual practice. Because of the spiritual component of the practice, yoga is a means by which to […]
“If you can’t see God in all, you can’t see God at all.” ~ Yogi Bhajan Of all the types of yoga I teach, Kundalini Yoga is the quickest and most transformative. Because of this, students come to one class, have an amazing and earth shaking experience and then go gang busters on Kundalini. They […]
I think you will really enjoy this 40 day Kundalini practice. It’s about restoring your personal power by tapping into the primal force of creation, Adi Shakti. Adi Shakti is the Kundalini energy. Here is the matra: Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Namo Namo (I bow to the Primal Power) Sarb Shakti, Sarb Shakti, […]
Yogis, this is the meditation we used for the heart chakra. It feels so good and is the perfect 40 day practice to really connect you to the divine. In using this mantra, you become the sound current, which is the Guru. “You see all that you are..the plus and minus of your personality/ the […]
You can always find me in Andrea’s Kundalini class on Sundays in Montgomery. It’s my church. Andrea has an innate ability to theme her classes psychically for whatever is up for me. I swear when I’m in class she is only speaking to me. Today’s class was potent. Our theme was fear. We dove into […]

“Whose silence are you?” ~ Thomas Merton I read this quote at the beginning of last week and have been contemplating it since. I don’t get it. It takes me right to the place where my brain turns inside out and goes to nothing because there is no way for this brain to understand this […]
We are entered into that time of year when we reflect on the year we’ve finished and project our desires for the upcoming year. Dreams are hatched and goals are set. This is also the time when everyone who teaches manifestation reaches out to you for workshops and events. I learned how to manifest when […]
My life has not been classically easy. I’ve had many challenges to overcome and you can just scroll through my blog is you want to learn more about all that. One aspect of my life, however, has truly been effortless and God has literally rained down upon me in the department of children. My kids […]
Adrenal fatigue is when your adrenal system has gone into overdrive, hyperdrive, and finally kaput. Modern medicine doesn’t really validate the existence of this disorder much like they were reluctant to embrace fibromyalgia and chronic fatique syndrome. Still, something is going on and in holistic circles, we call it Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome. What does if […]
“To Infinity and beyond.” ~ Buzz Lightyear I can’t believe it. It’s our final night of the 21 stages of meditation. This group has been together with a few pop in and outs now for the past 21 weeks. Every Tuesday we come together and fully immerse in the most challenging meditation practices that I […]

A student stopped me after class yesterday and mentioned that she had been to two Kundalini Yoga classes at EOM in the last year and really enjoyed them. However, she did some googling on the internet and became fearful that something bad could happen to her from doing Kundalini Yoga. Apparently, it can cause psychotic […]
The purpose of tonight’s meditation in the 21 Stages of Meditation is to conquer fear. Not the typical fears that probably jumped into your mind, but the fear of giving. When you give to simply give, when you give with no attachment, when you give the same way that God gives, you become the Preacher. […]
My 120-day Spiritual Cleanse ended today with a reading from Sage Woman. Her reading really summed up my experience over the last 120-days. I think what it boils most strongly down to is that I now have a spiritual relationship between my body and consciousness and the relationship between my mind and consciousness finally has […]
Magical Super Powers…I mean, isn’t that the real reason we do yoga? There are lots of magical super powers called Siddhis that develop when you have a firmly established meditation and yoga practice. Do note that I wrote “meditation” first and “yoga” second. Powers include seeing the future, never getting sick, levitation, seeing auras, and […]
