With Headstand, Workshops and The Presence Process...

According to B.K.S. Iyengar (and my own personal experience of practicing Headstand regularly) "widening the horizons of the Spirit" is what we open up to when we develop a regular practice of Headstand, otherwise known as Sirsasana in Sanskrit. Not to mention countless other physical and mental benefits. Headstand is the King of all of the Poses.

It is no wonder then that I'm experiencing my horizons widening in my Yoga practice, my profession and my Self since I developed a regular practice of Sirsasana about a year ago. When I say regular, I mean being in a headstand at least 5 minutes a day, most days of the week. Iyengar actually suggests we eventually develop ourselves to be able to spend 15 minutes in Headstand. Spending more time upside down recently in my life, has inspired me to have the intention of purchasing an inversion table in the very near future. I've experienced the extraordinary benefits of being upside down, i.e. clarity of mind, mental and physical energy, emotional upliftment and a younger looking, uplifted and refreshed face. The more time I spend this way, the more I see and feel the benefits and want to spend even more time inverting.

Speaking of widening the horizons of our Spirit, there are several wonderful upcoming events happening here in Dallas. And, definitely great ways to expand your horizons and deepen your journey and practice of Yoga.

1) "Holding the Vision" - An All-Levels Anusara Yoga Weekend
in Dallas with Desiree Rumbaugh October 13-15, 2006(Click the image above to enlarge the flier for details about this event.)

This is going to be a great workshop I'm looking forward to attending. What's wonderful about the way it's being presented, is it's possible to attend a few sessions for those of you who are not able to commit the entire weekend to the workshop. Most of the time, intensives like this require you register for the whole weekend. This way, you can experience a few different sessions with her, to get a feel for her teaching. I can tell you I really enjoy Anusara Yoga. I've studied with John Friend and he's amazing. He pays incredible attention to technique and development of the poses with a incredibly positive spiritual focus. Something that fascinates me is how he is able to guide people into opening up in their poses in ways and places they never thought they would be able to do. I anticipate there will be some miraculous openings for people who attend any of the sessions with Desiree. Looking forward to seeing some of you there. For more information, contact Becky at bklett@charter.net or 940-597-4886. To learn more about Desiree, visit www.DesireeRumbaugh.com.

2) A Journey through the Presence Process with Michael Brown
October 13, 14 and 15 in Dallas, TX

I know it's the same weekend, but I wanted you to have the information about Michael Brown, this amazing speaker and Being who will be giving a workshop here in Dallas. If you are familiar with Eckhart Tolle who wrote the Power of Now, you will find the experience with Michael will give you an experiential process of how to access the Power of the Present Moment to enhance the very experience of being alive.

"I cannot possibly write enough or describe fully this process to you. If there is a book to read, it is this one. It is a guide on how to live consciously and stop reacting from unconscious wounds. It is personal liberation and personal acceptance. “In the end, our validation of ourselves has to be sufficient.” We no longer have to “do”, we can “be”. I asked for a way to “just be”, and I received a step by step guide illuminated with the wisdom to recognize it when I arrive. Thank you Great Spirit and thank you Mr. Brown…my cup is overflowing.” -Angela Hutchinson - Spirit Works
