Yesterday morning as I was about to open for teaching (NOT tired -it’s bright and early! YES!!)… intro into directing the Drishti point couple of feet ahead, I notice an ant crawling right in front of my mat, the exact spot of Drishti. My mind took over then, should I pick it up – what if I step on this poor creature during class – what if it crawls onto my mat – I don’t want to kill it. Shook off the thoughts and refocused and the ant disappeared – went about the business of Pranayama with the intent of flooding our body with Oxygen for the wake-up to juice up. That ant must have been a reincarnation of … I have few suspects. It’s a full moon night – come to expect the signals.
Full Moon last night called the Beaver Moon by the Native Americans in Northern America. Apparently each full moon was named from an activity or an event that happened that month. Beaver Moon means that this is the time of transition where beavers are very busy, to fix their lodges and get ready for winter. It is a time of PREPARATION for what’s to come. (hibernation’s not an option – beavers do not hibernate and nor do we. Or do we?) According to Farmers’ Almanac, it was also the time to hunt the beavers to get the winter furs. Living in synchronicity with nature … in harmony, in a sustainable environment of abundance … their wisdom is not lost.
