We will be showing the film "Enlighten Up!'
'
at my mother's theater on Thursday, January 21st, from
8-10 pm. It's a very nicely done film that goes into
some depth about this thing we call "yoga."
Here's a link to a review:

Teachers of the Week:
Our Native American Elders
Treat the earth well.
It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,
we borrow it from our Children.
Ancient Indian Proverb
Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced.
Live your life
so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

Benefits Kids Against Hunger of Southwest Florida and the Amrit Yoga Institute
Transition can appear as a painful process, but can also be a doorway to freedom. Your preprogrammed past, which initiates transition in the form of crisis, can be a powerful opening for transformation. Entering the Zero Stress Zone creates an opening and a unique opportunity for you to let go of old programming and take a quantum leap into a new paradigm.

Bill Van Arsdale
Join us for a evening of music and singing led by Alan Lowenschuss. Participants typically show up with a musical managerie harmonium, guitar, sitar, tablas, drum, violin, percussion and more, or just a willing voice, in a chant and response exchange that is very meditative and connnecting. Veggie potluck at 6:30, chanting from 7:30 to 9:30. At Gerry Segal's house in Pine Ridge.
From about.com:
Meditation doesn't come easy for many people. And that's where kirtan - an ancient participatory music experience-offers another method. Without the work of mentally quieting the mind, kirtan can carry us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. One of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world, the kirtan call-and-response chanting genre comes to us from India. Using ancient Sanskrit mantras, the kirtan calls upon sacred energies which serve to quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and bring us back to the center of our being.
By repeating simple mantras over and over, faster and faster, the kirtan is an easy way for people to experience some freedom from the daily chatter of the mind. And while it is true that we can sing these chants in the solitude of our own home, there is nothing like the magic of chanting live with musicians and participants all adding their energy to the chant. People often say they feel "buzzed" for days following such a chanting experience.
NOTE: Our Kirtans will now be on the 1rst and 3rd Sunday of each month at Gerry Segal's place, 6:30-9:30 pm. We may meet at other times and venues, too, but that's definite.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON YOGA DAY?
Yoga Day USA is scheduled for Saturday, January 23, 2010. Don't forget to go to yogadayusa.org and click "List Your Workshop" to post information about your event. On the day of your event take lots of great photos. Sharing them on the www.yogadayusa.org site and the YDU Facebook page is a great way to let everyone know about how powerful Yoga Day USA can be.
Here are a few comments shared by fellow registrants about their experience last year.
"I am beginning to "be noticed" by the local community as a "graduate school" yoga. There were more inquiries and responses this year and I anticipate greater response to future offerings, e.g., periodic seminars or workshops throughout the year. This will all increase interest and perhaps support greater visibility and notice next year. A local TV station sent a camera this time ... next time may be better."
"I enjoyed being able to host a community event, and also draw more business into our holistic health center. Next year I plan to hold more than one free class."
"New people visit, see what we have to offer, and return to take classes and workshops. Current students feel like we've given them a gift."
Namaste.

Breathing Lessons Continued...
Depressed? Just Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve
It could be the single most important nerve in the body. The vagus nerve stretches from deep within the brainstem all the way into the belly. Literally the mind-body connection, it’s the cabling behind your "gut instincts." One doctor refers to the vagus nerve as the inner eye.
Just recently the FDA approved a surgically implanted machine that will periodically stimulate the vagus nerve to treat depression. The treatment boasts remarkable success. But don't worry; you probably don't need surgery. Practitioners of yoga may already be enjoying the benefits of vagus nerve stimulation.
The vagus nerve supplies motor and sensory parasympathetic fibers to virtually everything from the neck down to the first third of the transverse colon. Governing things like the heart rate, digestion, sweating, and skeletal muscles, it's easy to see how any basic yoga routine can stimulate this pivotal channel between the mind and body.
But it turns out that the vagus nerve is involved with many other, less obvious activities associated with yoga, like chanting and pranayama.
The acts of chanting, both listening and vocalizing, stimulate the vagus nerve through muscle movements in the mouth, like those important to speech and those that work the larynx for breathing. The nerve also connects to vocal chords and receives some sensation from the outer ear; thus the acts of vocalizing and listening can influence it.
But the most refined practice for yogic stimulation of the vagus nerve may be pranayama, the fourth step outlined in the Indian sage Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras." Also known as breath control, the exercises often involve synchronizing chanting, naval gazing, and breathing.
