Place the mushrooms on a lightly greased (with olive oil) roasting pan or baking dish with bottom side up so you can stuff them. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive […]

It’s 9 pm ish in New Dehli and I’m sitting in a super posh upgraded executive kind of suite room having just had a massage and a very elegant dinner. I can’t say that I feel quite human yet, but I’m clean and have hair that is blown dry. I love pasta. The car comes […]
So things are winding down here in India and everyone appears to be serving time until we are able to either go home or continue traveling through India. We have all done our practicals of teaching a class to each other and we had a written exam today that took around three hours. It actually […]
So today we did our practicals. Zant did an awesome job and my was not too shabby! I need to do a little work with my hair though. Apparently, your hair has to be up in Kundalini yoga because your hair ends are like some kind of energetic antenna or something. I think this will […]
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success includes a practice for manifesting your heart’s desires. Lots of yogis embrace a simple lifestyle shunning material wealth and personal gain. That’s great to do, but realize that there is a path through yoga that includes accumulation of material wealth in order to realize your dharma or life’s purpose. […]
can’t believe it is the 17th! Only 7 more days to go. Our practicals begin tomorrow. I’m lucky because I was assigned a Kriya that Andrea has taught many times and I know it well. I don’t want to over practice it, because I want to do an experiment and see if the teachings really […]
Day 12…. Well today we did 5 kriyas that were really really hard. Imagine going to 5 Kundalini classes not for beginners. Needless to say I’m tired. At one point, Guru Dharan forgot to tell us to let out our breath. We all nearly passed out. I’ve been singing AC/DC’s Back in Black all day […]
It’s day 11. My severe head cold moved to the nose yesterday and down to the chest today. This is a total improvement and I feel so much better. The sun is out pretty consistently now by 9 am. (It is freezing and you can see your breath at 3:30 am though.) That means that […]
It’s the 9th of February and thus the 9th day of Kundalini Teacher Training. My brain must be coming on a bit because I’ve finally figured out that if you start something on the first of the month, then the day you are on is the day of the month. Welcome to insanity. Day 9 […]
The Breath Walk Today was a great day. We did a “breath walk” through the hills of Rishikesh overlooking the Ganges. I can’t wait to teach this to all of you. Basically, you simply walk and do “SA TA NA MA” on your fingers as you walk. Many of you who have worked with me […]
Today was a great day. I think moving to a hotel and sleeping in until 6 am was key to recovery. Throat is still sore and had a slight fever today along with 1/2 of the other teachers in training here, but I think I’m going to make a quick turn around. Back to the […]
It’s 6:30 pm here in Rishikesh, India. I’m sitting in my new bed at the Nirvana Hotel. Zant and I totally wimped out of the Ashram life along with every other person over the age of 40 and employed. It was just terrible and we, along with everyone else, were getting sick from the deplorable […]
Yogis, I write this from an Italian cafe with wifi in the heart of Rishikesh, India. We are deep into it here. I think it’s day 5 of my Kundalini Teacher Training with Golden Bridges, but I have to tell you I’m not sure. India is a crazy and exhausting place, almost as crazy and […]
