Off To The Sacred Sands and Ryolite of San Luis Valley

the last couple of days have been spent in Active Meditation as i help my girls prepare "Sweet Pea Garden." like the Spiritual Journey itself, all Sattva starts from (conscious) Rajas. in other words, take your time and put most of your effort into preparation of fertile (inner) soil. do that and the blossoming occurs without much effort. Seated, Solo Meditation and Pranayam are the WF equivalents to the 'turning of the soil' in gardening.

in a few moments:
i am taking my Clan Girls over to the world's most beautiful Sandbox; The Great Sand Dunes National Monument...which is also the race site of two my seven World Championships (Sandshoe Racing). Medano Creek should be flowing and it should be spectacular. if you haven't been; go! we'll be camping beneath the Strawberry Moon and singing Dharma Waves to all of you; thank you so much for your support of our humble, powerful Path.

my crash injuries are such that i won't be doing much sand running, however, i am bring the video camera for a much needed new video of Medium Form Flexibility; the 3 decade old bread-and-butter flexibility routine that ushered many of us into the notion of actually accepting yoga into our lives.

Be back soon,
Blessed be thy sweat...
