Namaste, very good lecture. i would love to learn sanskrit and hebrew. the wonderful spirituality of yoga ,combined with the movement is like the seeks, the earlygnostic hebrews, the whirling derc=vishes, the pow wows,the dance, the 'flow',helps incorporates higherconquicesness. i java felt like a elephant not being graceful andfluid, watching the videos andbeing too ill or in too much pain to do all the postures, this lecture reminded me that i have tried to overcompensate by doing other things, i have upped my studingmytic history and movement.i have been humbled and went back to being proud to just editate of sit in butterfly.it has taken far longer for my bones to heal, partly because BOTH where broken so i had to keep using them, i never would have made it through the ice and snow of last winter, the unseanable cold spring, without my nephew helping me get groceries or to get medicine or physical therapy.i am grateful.the violence of how i was atttacked made me more resolved to fight, peacefully all violation. i can't make it clear enough to everyone, that everytime i am tortured and violated that violation speards like cancer and does damage everywhere .now 19 mor wonderfull beautifull angels are dead in a Texas School, and 2 teachers.it happened Tuesday after i was tortured Monday, i was crying when i found out today before class.because my hands and wrists can not yet do what i am used to them doing, i feel discouraged, but I have to see how rescoursecfull this damage has made me!i don't have enough room to do yoga here, but I did it anyway! i could not go down to the Library room, i had no transportation for a long time, so i just did what i could at home, i had to be carefull, unlike at school, alone i had no ne that would help me i could not risk a fall, the results from all the attacks keep going .the '8' limbs of yoga! Please excuse me for saying 5, i was thinking of the first 2 :Yama and Niyama,WHOOPS! how the first 2 5 parts like limbs and the head on the body.

So ,truthfully ,i did not come up to my expectations of what i wanted from myself for this Yoga journey this term, however i tried hard and I survived terrible pain, much sickness and disability! I have endured and am growing stronger, i paid attention and kept good notes, i will use these tools to continue all summer to get back to where I was before the assault and maybe even better!some things can not be totally regained, my back[all by violence, my exhusband and 4 other times by assaults from strangers] made me uncable of headstands, and some other postures i love, so what? the other postures took on new and wondrous meanings!my journey this term I was not a failure has a yogi, it was a time for patience and healing.the great Yoga journey is like the river nile or the great river Ganges,or the NIle or the Columba, the last one becomes a dead zone after Hanford, I am still working on making it radiation free someday... Journey with purpose, survive and keep doing what is correct and keep going.the great river of the Milky Way flows through me at times, i have felt Spiritual totality only ft]leeting, 5-6 times in my life ,but am filled with the spiritual power often. I have danced on the heights but can not yet live there all the time,the journey itself is so splendid, how can anyone ever have even a second of violating another?

Your videos have really grown, the introductions are good learning tools, keep going ,they are GOOD!I want to see the other students,the group activity can help keep me going with the combined energy,I miss the group!how the dance of life keeps drawing good energy to all those on 'the way' is always amazing.my yoga was not has good this term but my healing and learning was, your yoga is really getting better and better! so is your teaching!I am glad you enjoyed Gurdjieff[sp] he is fun, and hard! not the man the work,his famouse student did also a very nice movie about him, when i get the name of the movie i will email it, i will also look for the lectures you found about him, it is really cool thathe went out and used movement in a new way. rythem gymnastics was most certainly, in the form the sport is toaday ,wastaken from my work after i had terminal cancer the first time, when i was 20 years old.they have far outdone anything i was doing with physiscal skills, but they never got the spiritual side of the work.the ribbon stick, the hoops, the ball, the little clubs, they are better at all these than i ever was,someday it will include other props also, like saff and angel stick, maybe juggling and Native american hoop dancing, i do not like these girls all having to be too thin, or all so young, i would never want one to perform with injuries for awards, it lessons the art, and does harm.we need disabled ,older age groups, and to include boys also, this movement with purpose has no limits on the fun, the awareness and good it can bring!i have done 1,000's of shows, rock concerts, civic events, schools, fairs, night clubs, etc, but my favorite are with the suffering watching them change in a workshop to become their own heros and grow in awareness.all groups are in danger, but remember this, sometimes we all need to be with our friends, it is not easy but we must make the world safe for everyone!safety and protection to you and yours, let the white light surround you!i will study hard when the sun warms my broken bones and see you next fall,Namaste!
