Try holding the rays of sun in the palm of your hand and you'll find it's an impossible task to accomplish... So, just BE the sun and the rays, and shine! Without any premeditation, bias or worries. Shine like the sun star that you are! Kisses.

MY PROFILE MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE SO PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY.

 

Thanks for accepting my friend request. My profile is a recovery site. Before you continue this new friendship with my page I recommend you read everything in the ‘about me’ section as it outlines what this profile is really about. My page isnt for everyone so look around and decide if its for you.

 

There is an air of lightness and humor as well. Most things here are links to recovery resources. There are several slideshows. My profile is not AA, NA or any A. Its not a recovery program either. Its just a network of friends, in all aspects of recovery, coming together to be there for each other. I hope you stick around and enjoy...

 

You can be a part of this page. Theres a recovery count here and adding your time to it would be nice. All I would need is for you to send me a message with your first name/last initial, CITY+STATE (or country) and your recovery date and I will add you. Here is the link to the list of names if you wish to see it: http://www.crazeegeekchick.com/SOBRIETY/thelist_1.aspx.  You cant add yourself to the actual count, I have to. Message me with the above info if you wish to be a part of it.

 

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yantra Yoga or the Yoga of Movement, is one of the oldest recorded systems of Yoga that exists in the world. It is a system of Yoga that has come to us through Tibet, a land full of a vast and rich traditional Buddhist knowledge and wisdom.

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu has written an extensive commentary on the root teachings by Vairocana from the 8th century, Nyida Khajor, the Union of Sun and Moon Yantra, based on his personal training and knowledge of Yantra Yoga received from his uncle and various teachers in Tibet. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu began teaching Yantra Yoga in the beginning of the 70’s in Italy.
For the first time in the West, this marvelous and complete text called Yantra Yoga: A Stainless Mirror of Jewels is published by Snow Lion Publications and is available at your local bookstore and on line at New Renaissance, Amazon and elsewhere.

Call 503-754-7731 or email primordialknowledge@gmail.com (email is better and more likely to get an answer)
