My delight in death is far, far greater than
The delight of traders at making vast fortunes at sea,
Or the lords of the gods who vaunt their victory in battle;
Or of those sages who have entered the rapture of perfect absorption…
Since improving my diet and other wholistic activities, and consuming Assimilaid for the past few weeks, my acid reflux has improved dramatically. I might have said cured, except recently, after a week in Gallup, NM eating crappy food, it came back a bit. Now it is again on the wane.
What other measures, yoga routines, etc. might you recommend?
“Green Tara baby! Its on like donkey kong! I can’t wait to send you some pics where you can see your work and inspiration in me. You and your teachings keep me sane. Thank you sir! I can’t wait to get a job (been out of work for over a year) and join the member area of WF. Wishing you the best of days sir!”
…when Joy was teaching yoga to Dewa’s kindergarten class, she asked, “Why is Hearing so important?”

buckle up, the next two pics might be tough on the queasy:
I have to teach all physical therapists tomorrow and I am meditating on what you told me long ago – to just keep teaching from my heart…
Which DVD should I get?!! I was reminded this weekend by the Pilates instructor at the booth next to ours at an expo we were at that my flat feet, ankles rolling in, hip flexor tightness, etc., is making my inner thigh muscles weak. I know that, and that’s why they hurt like hell if I run 4-5 miles!
I suppose it’s the sanest part of me that naturally gravitates toward these serrated skylines of granite, sandstone and sun-splintered early morning rapids and ripples. Perhaps the most redeeming quality that can be associated with this incarnation known as ‘ilg’ is that which has been undeniably attuned with Sacred Appreciation to the whirring symphony of hummingbirds, aspens quaking, and splashes of trout surfacing through snowmelt waters…
