Doga Therapy 

BEFORE:
Sometimes, she goes crazy after woolen socks …these are her favorite target… much to my dismay. It’s, as they say, a “trigger”.
Um ouch! She’s biting  my foot, tearing into socks … growls… snarls. Oh, NO! My ankles and knees are so crucial for my yoga practice!!! Make her stop! Have watched a whole season of Dog Whisperer but … my method is a bit yogic. So so difficult, right? What am I to do?  Doga of course. 

AFTER:

OMMMMMMMMMM…. I AM I AM

peace:)


All IS WELL:)

She’s a sweetie now.  Just yoga DOGA basics and she’s well on her way  to canine nirvana.

It’s all about the Touch

Gratitude for this past year when I had the chance to interface with my favorite Reiki therapist in the Emerald Hills. Its a lovely space she creates, imbued with natural soft light. Surrounded by rainbow of crystals for each chakra care … she sets the tone for a lovely meditation practice followed by a delicious Japanese macrobiotics influenced luncheon in the woodsy living area. How I miss it! Her technique brought home and applied here for doggie restorative. Gratitude for the healers in our world. Namaste:)

One of my protocols on this …

We are complex and in need of understanding. As betrayed as they may feel about their body, patients have to rethink the perception of pain first, according to Neil Pearson, yoga therapist from Vancouver. Typically, it’s an enemy to battle, to overcome… how does that work for you? How does numbing work for you? As with one with the lowest tolerance level for any kind of pain, it’s ironic that I find his teachings so accessible.

Given the recent letters from Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, United States Surgeon General to doctors about an unprecedented opioid epidemic in US, I think what Neil is sharing is so valuable to greater and greater number of people – who ordinarily lead a very normal strength based lives. As with anything, healing first comes from shift in how you frame the condition of pain that begets dependencies and then … empowering the sufferer. It’s not easy once you are in the eye of a storm so best have a regular practice. Not when it happens. Please take care – Namaste.
