I often give little thought to the Chakras as I practice, and now teach, yoga. This was for sure the case on Saturday night when we did a 2 1/2 hour Chakra meditation an practice in our TT class, in fact, I found it damn near impossible to stay awake. But that was last night, that is in the past now. Fast forward to Sunday night, it had been a long weekend o TT and my mind and body wer FRIED!!!!

Then the music started, it wasnt that zen Yani crap that makes me want to go deeper into my nappy place, it was rockin hiphop and all sorts of other lively tunes. I decided it was time to give every last bit of anything I could muster, time to leave it ALL on the mat (so to speak).

I want to share what I found in all of this, my 6th Chakra, of all things! By the time I hit svasana i felt like my brain was being electrified, like something had changed in my body and mind. One classmate commented that she thought it was the 3 minute inversion, I have no idea, but well find out!!!

I want to go to there

A few weeks back I get a phone call from my wife who was driving to work listening to the radio. She tells me about this album she heard about on NPR and that we have to get it. Most of these calls don’t pan out to be anything that I can’t live without, especially when it comes to dropping 12 of my hard earned bucks.

Playing for Change however is quite the opposite. With each listen I am awe struck at the beauty of the voices and performances, and dumbfounded at the technological feat required to make this happen. It’s simply amazing. So not only did I plunk down my hard earned dollars, but I can recommend that anybody that reads a blog about yoga and life would be just as happy as I am with it. I’m even planning on giving it to friends as gifts for the rest of the year (hope that didn’t spoil anybody’s surprise!).
