Just another morning taking shots of apple cider vinegar. This is how I keep my pineal gland clean & clear. 

The pineal gland:

 The pineal gland, also known as the pineal body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone, which affects the modulation of sleep patterns in both seasonal and circadian rhythms.[1][2] Its shape resembles a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and it is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. (Wikipedia)

It’s also known as the ‘principal of the soul’ according to the Mystics. 

Other ways to keep the pineal gland clean and clear is:

• chlorofil/spirulina

• Iodine (organic spinach, broccoli, fish)

• Beets

Join certified Yogastrology® inspired teacher Mary Beth Bender on Tuesday July 19th for a Full Moon in Capricorn Yoga & Astrology Wellness class. 

 July 19th is the full moon in Capricorn. When the moon is full the energy is high. Full moons are potent. “The full moon is a time of positive opportunity if you use it correctly. It can increase your positive energy or conversely, it can wreak havoc on your emotions. Since the full moon pours down a tremendous amount of energy, you must be in a calm state of mind to receive a positive effect. Remember that whatever is going on in your body, mind and spirit will be amplified” -Jayme Barrett

Come experience a slow flow yoga class where we will focus on integrating & balancing the parts of ourselves through asanas & wellness practices that will sync up with the full moon and the nature of the transits in the sky.

Fresh berries everywhere. Natures skittles. 

I really need to write a story. A real life story about my life. A raw, edgy, truthful story about my life and how I became the person that I am. 

I think I have a story to tell and I don’t even care who reads it. 

I just think it would feel therapeutic to write it out from the beginning to the end. 

I have a lot to release and I feel a desire to release it on paper. 

I think I’ll probably laugh and cry while writing it, but it would feel so good. 

I think it’s important to tell your story. 

Everyone has a story to tell. 

And anyone who tells me to drop my story can…well, maybe I’ll save those feelings for when I tell my story. 

I’m not stuck in my story. My story shaped me into the person that I am today. Why would I drop who I’ve become?

Storytelling feels good. 

Storytelling is an ancient practice that goes way back in time. Our ancestors sat  by the fire and told stories. Oral tradition is how they passed information down from one generation to another. 

Storytelling is magical. 

Storytelling reminds me of rainy summer nights when the electricity would go out and mom would turn on the flashlight to read to us. 

Memories of being curled up on the couch in my pajamas while mom would sit there and read short stories to us; that’s what helped shape my imagination and my desire to write. 

It’s part of my story. 

I want to tell my story because I want to remember my beautiful life. 

I want to remember all of the good parts and I want to remember the challenging times because those are what helped me to grow into who I have become. 

We all have a timeline. From beginning to end.  I imagine that I’m living in the middle of my timeline.  

But I’ve got to end here. 

I’ll be back. 

I’ll write my story. 

This summer I’ll be busy teaching private classes & private camps. I don’t teach a lot of “public” classes these days, especially adult classes-so catch me while you can. I have one public adult class coming up that I think a lot of people will find interesting. As many know, I’m into astrology and I have been for longer than I’ve been practicing yoga. I’ve recently become a certified Yogastrology® inspired teacher. For years it’s been a dream of mine to incorporate these ancient practices into my teaching as I have been doing in my own life. 

We are a mandala. We are all connected. Incorporating yoga & astrology into a practice is like weaving a tapestry of interconnected designs. The yogi isn’t just weaving the tapestry of their own life, but becomes engaged in a larger process of weaving the ongoing story of creation as a vast interconnected universe. This all happens through the practice of ‘aligning the bodies.’ The Yoga becomes a practice beyond the physical body. The physical body merges with the subtle body which then merges with the planetary bodies. This becomes a mandala of ONE energy. 

There seems to be no other way of approaching my practice & teaching than to incorporate these 2 practices.
