But most of all I like the opening and closing chants at the Friday evening counted practice because they bring us together and give the feeling of being part of something bigger.<BR/>Kevin (Globie)Globiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599797217927129367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-1808341783457556342007-11-30T15:24:00.000-05:002007-11-30T15:24:00.000-05:00Burn it off!!!

I think it's important to remember that the asana is just a way "in", a way to tap into our spirituality and burn off whatever is keeping us from our joy. <BR/><BR/>I really woke up when you said "my peeps". I was raised Mormon, where we're taught we have the Truth with a capital T. Now, that concept makes me laugh! We all pray to the same God... even the atheists. So when your yoga friends prostrate, it's just their way of connecting deeper. Maybe your way of connecting deeper is sitting deep in your asana or going to synagogue.<BR/><BR/>Who knows, I just know that when somebody else gets under my skin like that, it's time to pay attention. Usually what I find resistance to is a great opportunity to learn compassion and understanding. <BR/><BR/>If you're feeling annoyed by the other students, you're probably getting the perfect exercise (big smile).<BR/><BR/>Good luck... I enjoy reading your blog.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312920086931159581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-87373995877747784162007-11-29T16:19:00.000-05:002007-11-29T16:19:00.000-05:00I don't understand how prostrating oneself can be ...I don't understand how prostrating oneself can be a supplicating gesture toward <I>any</I> god, save for the gods that are actually men.

A classic case of what happens when parts of a tradition are co-opted and decontextualized. I recommend "Naked in Ashes" and "Origins of Yoga" to get over the illusion. Also, my Jesus is better than your Jesus :-) I'm just sayin'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226659770918712921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-39149299317227382622007-11-28T23:14:00.000-05:002007-11-28T23:14:00.000-05:00yer SOOOOO meanyer SOOOOO meanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-80917087695951974272007-11-28T21:32:00.000-05:002007-11-28T21:32:00.000-05:00How's that pincha coming, Laksmi?How's that pincha coming, Laksmi?Yoga Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370141306007721604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-88303942627886151122007-11-28T21:31:00.000-05:002007-11-28T21:31:00.000-05:00you do totally need to bow at MY feet though.you do totally need to bow at MY feet though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-41463054912935836952007-11-28T11:40:00.000-05:002007-11-28T11:40:00.000-05:00another thanks. i'm sorta on the tail end of a lon...another thanks. i'm sorta on the tail end of a long breather from one rather church-y shala. actually now i have found 2 places with mysore. untraditional, sure, but i think this arrangement will suit my learning and allow me to stomach the 90 bazillion ganeshes at the more established but somewhat stifling studio.<BR/><BR/>on the challenge to feel the legs in backbending, roll the shoulders, gear up for second yet weed out excess force... i hear ya. tho at the moment i admire your discipline! not quite on that side of things myself yet.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275530905989512993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-83009397537945549632007-11-28T10:36:00.000-05:002007-11-28T10:36:00.000-05:00What a fabulous post!

Yes, there is an element of churchness at kirtans, but then isn't that the same thing as going to sing gospel hymns. It's bhakti, devotional stuff. <BR/><BR/>I had already made plans prior to knowing about KD, and right now I really just want to get in the holiday spirit more than anything.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I seemed to attack you on my blog. Something happened at work today that was rather ridiculous and my inability to let it go clouded my mind. I should've responded more compassionately. Still, as I said on my blog, email me your address and I will clear any debts, monetary and emotional.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119692423414428513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-42613772251526874382007-11-27T20:43:00.000-05:002007-11-27T20:43:00.000-05:00Yeah, sista.Yeah.
