Yoga- feeling like not going today.
My left sit bone is feeling bruised from the jump thrus. I saw Ruth leaving today so I stopped my practice and went outside to talk with her. She teaches yoga at a yoga school in NYC, called Jivamukti.
I have been in her class many years ago- maybe 20- and I knew she was teaching painting at Yale. And she wrote 2 small books which I bought at Jivamukti’s and I devoured.
They both have short chapters about her yogi life. And she writes a lot about Pattabhi Jois and her times in Mysore. So when I saw her in class
Today, I decided to connect. I stepped outside and told her I’d been in her class many years ago and I told her how much I loved her books. She was very pleasant and I mentioned that I knew from her books that she normally comes to Mysore in the Summer. She said she will be doing a teacher training near Mumbai for Jivamukti Yoga so she has come to Mysore before she goes there. She asked how long I am in India for, and I said- traveling for about 6 months. She said- why don’t you stay here in Mysore and study with Saraswathi during that time. She said- you know- in all the whole world- this small group of people here are the only ones who have this opportunity. I thought- wow- 6 months of this yoga every day- intense- that would be intense- boringly intense. Then, I went back into the room and finished my practice. As I was near the end, in the finishing room- where we go after back bending, I heard Saraswathi ‘s voice, and I saw she was talking to 2 girls, looking down at them, saying in her broken English- you girls- your practice is no good. Take 3 days off to rest- you don’t have to pay-then come back. I thought woa- she’s intense!
I had my hair color done over today. The last time they did It the color did not cover my roots. So I went back today and then rushed to meet Allynn and some friends who are from New Jersey, and this couple are both doing Ashtanga. We had a luncheon date for 12:30. Our past life healing class was at 2:00- I thought we’d have time for lunch- But, by 1:45, our lunch had not come so we just walked out- we had a big day coming up. This was the day when we were doing a regression on someone we were bringing to the place. Kumar had someone for me- and it was a big event for us! The room was set up with 7 sleeping cushions and pillows and I met my gentleman, an Englishman, and the event began.
My session went smoothly and it was a tremendously rewarding experience. The events in this man’s past life perfectly answered questions
that have been troubling him in his current life. And when the session was over, 2 hours later, I felt a kind of euphoria come over me . It was just an incredibly joyus feeling to be able to help someone in this way.
One more full day here and then we leave Mysore. See you tomorrow
Nitey nite.
