Full Moon July, Always Guru Purnima this month/memories

Full moon July—always Guru Purnima

Waking early, waking late, wanting to be somewhere else, and fidgeting where I am. This is the nature of this July. Just back from teaching in Costa Rica for three weeks, about to leave for the Northeast for three months. The great experiment.

Yet what still gives life meaning is sharing yoga with others. The message that we are perfect and practice to make progress in that understanding. This comes clear slowly. The inner bully is so very strong and so hard to combat. It IS an inner war. This bully is old, wily and powerful. Paths to love are overgrown. Reaching back, reading back into childhood—The Secret Garden—understandings of the soul from the first and second decade of life. Imagining back into the childhoods of parents and grandparents. Needing to contact cousins for memories that will be lost if not shared. 

Sounding in yoga practice and in class with students/friends. Who was nonplussed, who was enchanted? Who refused to participate? Channelling Ramanand Patel, Mukesh Desai and Prashant Iyengar—invitation to the lab that each of us is, the container for directing vibration, for healing. Reiki music. The soul of a son, of a long long time friend, and my soul. These souls connecting, growing together, growing apart and on and on.

PS: The last post before this one should have been titled "New Moon in JULY", not June.........I figured out how to "update" it, so all is correct now.
