If you have faith, sooner or later it may well be put to the test, and wherever the challenge may come from—from within you or from outside—it is simply part of the process of faith and doubt.
Ha = Sun
Tha = Moon
Yoga = Union
Most yogic rituals and practices – such as my EMR – are designed to balance, support, and nourish our innate solar/lunar frequencies to safely conduct the Kundalini or the Cosmic Power within us toward Transformation and eventual Enlightenment…tonight’s Supermoon is a great Blessing to yogis…here’s why…

Like so many things, my precious Rinpoche of a daughter, Dewachen, has taught me to embrace,

“But Daaaaady…I NEED to take a picture of the Full Worm Moon, too you know…puh LEASE!!!?!”
i glanced at Amma in the short-handed visual eye communication which new parents use to circumvent the treasured milliseconds which are needed to make critical decisions ranging in everything from allowing our chi-ld to interrupt mealtime to take a picture of a beautiful moonrise to whether or not we should buy a new car (true story)…
