Yes, with grace I have made it to my 35th birthday and podcast and

bring you the offering of this special episode which is approximately a

35 minute meditation. To signify my 35th birthday we begin with three

om's and end with five. Many days of contemplation on what I was going

to share and the usual 35 sun salutations came to mind but then after

connecting to my commitment to a three week breakthrough meditation

practice (this is in the back of Sally's Book) it made sense to share

this with you. If you are new to meditation take a whirl and know there

is no right or wrong enjoy your experience even if you just sit there

and nothing seems to happen, be patient it will offer amazing fruits

without your even being aware of them at first.

There are many ways to meditate and I first began using the style of the Self Realization Fellowship but then met my current teacher, Sally Kempton while

in teacher training in 2002. At first when I met her I was practicing

SRF technique thinking this was the only way and did not even listen to

her. At the time I was not open to something new and in some way was

rigid but after some time I sat with her again and totally let go and

went with her guidance and am happy I did. Today I follow her technique

which are beautifully explained in her book The Heart of Meditation .

This episode is dedicated to Sally as she opened me to the possibility of play within my practice of meditation.

Shakti: 1) the divine Mother, the dynamic aspect of the absolute

Reality, and the creative force of the universe. 2)All-pervasive,

divine spiritual energy

connection and trust and beauty in community makes this playful

practice fun and vast and important.God created others for many

reasons. AcroYoga invites us to find all of them.
