The Mind and Body
Duke It Out: My Experience with Bikram's Beginning Yoga
by
Lydsey Watson
I don't know why on February 1st of this year I finally decided to listen
to my body. After 50 years of ignoring her, allowing her to stiffen up and
take on layer upon layer of emotional and physical protection, she loudly
announced one day, "Today is the day we will begin Bikram's
Yoga." I had been hearing about it from a sister of mine for three
years, how they did 26 Hatha Yoga postures in the same sequence every
time, for 90 minutes, in a 95-100 degree heated room. My mind kept
bombarding me with beliefs that kept me from trying it -- such as
"Too hot -- we'll pass out," or "I really can't stand to
sweat," or "Yoga has never helped me," or "You'll make
a fool out of yourself in that room full of Gumbys." On and on and on
and on. My mind's voice usually won the battle -- until February 1. Why? I
guess it doesn't really matter, does it?

Recommended Book |
"WOMEN WHO RUN WITH
THE WOLVES isn't just another book. It is a gift of profound
insight, wisdom, and love. An oracle from one who knows." --Alice
Walker
Within every woman there lives a
powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity,
and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the
instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. In
WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES, Dr. Estés unfolds rich intercultural
myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order
to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary
attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and
commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love,
and understand the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches
as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new
lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving,
it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the
soul.
"This volume reminds us that we
are nature for all our sophistication, that we are still wild, and
the recovery of that vitality will itself set us right in the world."
--Thomas Moore, Author Care of the Soul
"I am grateful to WOMEN WHO RUN
WITH THE WOLVES and to Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The work shows
the reader how glorious it is to be daring, to be caring, and to be
women. Everyone who can read should read this book."
--Maya Angelou
"An inspiring book, the
'vitamins for the soul' [for] women who are cut off from their
intuitive nature." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Stands out from the pack . . .
A joy and sparkle in [the] prose . . . This book will become a bible
for women interested in doing deep work. . . . It is a road map of
all the pitfalls, those familiar and those horrifically unexpected,
that a woman encounters on the way back to her instinctual self.
Wolves . . . is a gift."
--Los Angeles Times
"A mesmerizing voice . . .
Dramatic storytelling she learned at the knees of her [immigrant]
aunts." --Newsweek

How
Can Reiki
Benefit Your Pet? |
In our Free
Marketing Seminars, we teach holistic practitioners to
discover what is unique about their practice. Caroline Nudelman of Paws
For Reiki wouldn't have any problem discovering the uniqueness
of her holistic practice—she uses Reiki on pets!
Animals receive Reiki when a practitioner places their hands on or over
the animal, or over a specific injury site or affected area. According to
Caroline, pets often warm up to Reiki practitioners quicker than they do to other
strangers.
Here are a few ways
Reiki can benefit your pets:
 |
Alleviates anxiety
|
|
Eases separation issues
|
|
Promotes physical healing for injured and sick pets
|
|
Helps with behavioral issues
|
|
Can reduce post surgical stress and
trauma

Nudelman at 617-719-9174 in Belmont.
