Niyama blooper--pardon'

-
I was just reading a FB entry from another yogini when I saw the word Santosha.  My mind immediately started to think about my recent blog post on Saucha and something didn't feel quite right.  I googled (my favorite verb) because it was quicker than grabbing my journal from Kripalu to see where I had erred.  Imagine my horror when I realized that I had been practicing contentment but calling it the wrong name! I can only imagine that you are equally as horrified. For those of you that have used the word Saucha in casual conversation and received odd stares, I humbly apologize.  I am, as I loudly proclaim, still a baby warrior and some of my falls are harder than others. Saucha, in fact, refers to purity and cleanliness- on the inside and out.  That could really be why you were receiving odd stares---just sayin'.  Anyhow, Santosha is the word for contentment. 

Since I didn't receive any laughs, rude comments or corrective language, I can only assume two things; No one is reading this blog or I have some very compassionate and loving followers.  Either way, I am content. Actually, that is bullshit.  I hope it is the latter.

Your humbling and bumbling warrior,
Pam

    I read your blog...but I must confess, I'm absolutely terrible about remembering things like the yamas and niyamas, the 8-limbs, etc. Is that horrible? Probably. So I didn't even blink, just assumed you were talking about the right one. =) LOVE!!!!! xoxo

Bhakti Bliss--lessons off the mat.

I just returned home from Kripalu after spending five glorious days there, including ringing in the New Year "yogi style."  Having spent the last two New Year's Eve in similar environments, I must admit that I can't imagine doing it any other way.  To my surprise, well not really because I often miss the fine print, I had signed up for a four day program, not just a celebration on New Year's Eve.  From Thursday-Sunday I attended "Bhakti Bliss."  For those of you unfamiliar with Bhakti or Bhakti Yoga, it loosely means spiritual devotion or love for God and is often practiced via Kirtan or chants.  Whether participating in the traditional call and response chants or being part of the drum circle, dancing in the aisles or listening to stories told to music, I was completely absorbed in the experience......but not from the start. As my last one-sentence post indicated, I have been going through some holiday transitions. When I landed at Kripalu on that T...

Satya- truth

-
When considering what my fourth and final inquiry would be, I must admit that I wanted to return to a few I had already practiced.....and practice some more.  However, our assignment was to pick a new one each week and since I am the student, not the teacher, I shall be an obedient one or at least try.  I will continue to informally address Santosha/contentment and have much to say about my discoveries so stay tuned.  In the meantime I shall explore Satya, or commitment to the truth.  I have attached the link once again if you wish to gain a better understanding of the Yamas/Niyamas as related to the Eightfold Path.  On the surface, this was the last one I thought I would choose for an inquiry as I consider myself to be a pretty open and honest person, straightforward and truthful and not one for gossip or caddy talk.  When I looked a bit deeper at the definition given in the readings, I did find the area of Satya in which I struggle and thus, that will ...

Self knowledge vs Shelf knowledge

-
I first heard this expression when attending S.E.E.D (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) training a few years ago.  S.E.E.D   is an amazing program that truly has the ability to bring curricular change, understanding and compassion to any educational institution that chooses to accept its mission. Feel free to check it out.  Anyhow, they were referring to the parts of ourselves that we bring to any group or any discussion; we have our book knowledge and we have our lived experience.  Both are equally valuable and you are encouraged not to check any parts of yourself at the door...very Burkian, if I do say so myself.  I have been thinking about this a lot the past few days as I begin to reflect on this most recent part of my journey.  Is there really a separation of self and shelf?  At some point, doesn't the shelf knowledge have the potential to become your self-knowledge, if you embrace that which you have read or heard?  And finally, are ...
