The Kripalu Effect Cover your ears if you are sensitive to TMI, but there exists something called the "Kripalu Effect".

Christmas Joy D857CCE1-A171-49D1-8AE9-3EAA73F3E594 (click this link for colorful Christmas lights, goofiness and music). We are back in business.

I have been practicing a meditation to release negative energies that have been part of this lifetime as well as other lifetimes. The first few days of the meditation this week reminded me of the first few days of a detox (see a much earlier blog). I was easily triggered, short of patience, forgetful, lost, [...]
I'm immersing myself in language comprehension, speed style. With 3 days to go until my yoga retreat to Gubbio, Italy, I've got to work hard. But even if I don't know what I am saying or comprehend what is being said to me, I really like my attempts at the Italian accent. I think it [...]
