laura,

lots of carbs!! pizza crust is evil...but so good. everyone slips on the eating

part of life every so often. glad to hear you are forging ahead:)

the class is the highlight of my week-starts at 6:30pm and ends around 8. the

same people--one guy, one girl, myself, teacher and her husband--5 of us. a nice

small group. the we open with quiet meditation, short mantra tuning in and

breathing--the breath of fire and (this week) sitali breathing. seated spinal

warm-ups, twists, triangle pose (downward dog). self adjustment to the spine

which consists of tree pose, crow squats, buttocks bounce, and side stretches.

did a series of forward bends/hip openers. then the 11 minutes of chanting-this

week was a healing meditation ra ma da sa (sa say so hung) translation of the

words--sun energy, moon energy, earth energy, infinity universal energy, the

personal embodiment of sa, personal sense of merger with sa, the infinite

vibrating and real). then a fairly lengthy relaxation which ends with a

gong-signaling it is time to sit up and meditate quietly for a while and then

the ending song:

long time sun:

" may the long time sun shine upon you

all the love surround you

and the pure light within you guide your way on "
