aromatherapy-berkeley My favorite aromatherapy store… I turn into a little girl in a candy store when I walk into this place so … trying not to go too often:) This is when you really need a strap:) strap me down from going – lol – And this is just a small section of the store – So many aroma oil brands but … I have my personal favorite I believe is pure and safe. I also distrust any company that encourages injesting – just like you would be more hesitant about “adjust” “suggest” not “correct” or “touch” not massage, on any new student you don’t know well enough (I still remember my one lesson…), injesting oils, I would approach with caution and only trust well trained aromatherapist – not someone trained by the company selling the oils like a sales rep of the said brand…. people have allergies, people have special needs, children are sensitive … it’s not a good idea unless you tried on yourself and your children/pets – would you? first:) Still everyone has different level of sensitivity…so …maybe I tend to be more sensitive.

Anyway… don’t go on diets and/or do herbs and supplements just because you hear it’s good or is a fad – study up with neutral third party opinions – or consult a real trained caring person – it’s not like Alice in Wonderland with that vial but still … exercise caution when you consume something internally.

Enough with all these “don’t” & Ending with *******************************************************************************************************

“Even chance meetings are the result of karma… Things in life are fated by our previous lives. That even in the smallest events there’s no such thing as coincidence.”


― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

I believe this to be true.

Perrrfect Imperfections

Keep in mind that when you practice yoga, you’re not practicing to improve yourself.

YOU ARE PERFECT.

The practice is there to help you know that.

– Maty Ezraty

Had felt far far FAR ~ from perfect yesterday but… will go for another day of practice…in hopes to re-discover that feeling of near-perfection.
Overcoming fears…is not as difficult when you are in the company of like-minded serious students with a teacher one can fully embrace.

What’s anatomically best…

Student: Are you saying not square the hips when this and that and do not tuck the pelvis in when this and that …and … ???????
Maty: “You are trying to find rules. There are no rules. You need to observe each unique student and figure out what’s going on.”
There are no rules and short cut formulas…(not to be taken out of context but)

Isn’t that the truth: THERE ARE NO RULES.
