Yoga!

Went back to yoga this afternoon after a lengthy absence. Oh! The difference it made!! I think it will become as mandatory as drinking water.

Not only did I sweat lots and have an excellent time with only 3 other people....the instructor was so awesome to give Jason and I a year membership and we can pay whenever we wish. It was incredibly thoughtful. I really feel a weird connection with her. She is very inspiring and she even remembered that I was doing massage therapy now!

Really...it made my day feel so much better....

Myomassology!

Yay!! I finally had my first class of massage therapy!! :D :dance: :dance: !!!

It is going to be a great year. I can feel it already. :) Today I was able to experience so much in such a short amount of time.
Every thursday morning now I'll be receiving and giving a massage. I only had one awkward moment and of course it was a social problem.
I made only a slight fool out of myself because I spent way too long thinking about what I was going to say.

The director of the school made slight fun of me about it, but I just laughed and was able (fortunately) not to feel too self conscious about it...though i did mentally glare at myself for trying to push myself. I know what I need to say, but I always feel obligated to do more and then I basically choke up and my train of thought gets choppy. Overall it went very very well though.

And the massage part was uber wonderful!! After I left I felt like I was in an altered state. I have never been that relaxed driving back home! :D

Ahh...there's so much I could write about....but this is a dream come true. It's so excellent to be around people so accepting of your being and to know how much they care....you can feel it in the air and in the building itself. I even learned they had a blessing of the land and the building when it was made!

Oh! It was just unbelievable. A part of me wanted to cry I was so happy. :D

random thoughts...

Earth Day ...went to the VNV Nation concert. Slightly upsetting as the livenation site said the show was starting @ 8:30....well, that's when VNV's set began....we missed And One. I was very disappointed once I realised we had missed them.
...and I didn't contribute to the Earth Day celebration really...if anything I neglected it a bit and made myself sick....
but it was an experiment in a way. I had not drank in 6months. I had 3 long islands and I was a lot more drunk than I had thought at first.

By the time I got ready to sleep I was very nauseous and I felt all the toxins in me. I even smoked quite a bit last night too...this morning I could feel it all kind of flow around inside of me. I am feeling better now that I ate bread and drank a lot of water....

but I think I'm not going to drink liquor anymore. Maybe now and then I'll have an occasional glass of red wine, but that's it. Sometimes it makes my train of thought flow in a strange way, but I can write very well without depending on a drink.

:sigh: With the money spent on drinking..I could have gone to yoga twice this week? that's what jason said and it made me feel really sad this morning because he was right of course. Still it's done and over with now and I know what I want to focus on from now on.

My massage therapy class begins May 17. I want to start changing my environment (inner and outer) to reflect my commitment to this new path....
I don't want to reside in toxic environments anymore.

Oh, you're such a little bug...

I've been sick for 2 days now. What I thought was food poisoning....is apparently this little stomach bug that had attacked Jason like a month ago! :( Now I have it, but it's fortunately not as bad as what he had. It's soo warm today too! ...and i feel like this! :(
I am feeling better though. I keep reading about chakras and my root chakra needs some major balancing! RED RED RED
blah.....i feel so woozy.....

don't worry pyo...

it would seem that we were phasing pyo out. she's feeling sad. she's our devious alter ego and now she's feeling like she's getting the shaft.
:( poor pyo ping. lol! maybe some people were confused. we can make it clear.

pyo is a squirrel. but she is our ally in this worlde. she keeps us feeling happi and joyful..she reminds us what really matters in life. she reminds us to smile and to dance. always to dance and love the life. Love the Life and the Breath!! :D

we're just focusing on art now. shKna is our 'artiste name'...(just so there's no confusion...we're aiming for more consistency at this point)
new art has been posted. a month old at this point, but it's good to have it seen...better than sitting around in my dusty corner with all the other neglected paintings!

we're painting....we're struggling with our job and our new boss....we're focusing on chakra healing/balancing/development and totally in love with it!! XD we're still interested in massage too...just waiting for my catalog and another tour. i'm ready to go back to school!!

hope everyone is doing well!! it's almost March! 0_o

new possibilities...

i've been thinking about a new path to take this year and so, I'm planning on going into massage therapy...
i graduated last year and thought a lot about how well i did in my science and anatomy classes....the instructors were all surprised when they discovered my real major was not medicine/health, but fine arts. one in particular almost took it personally and offended me greatly in the process.

...and well, such attitudes didn't fare well with me when it came to the possiblity of studying medicine. I'm very creative and I love to work with my hands...but unfortunately I don't care much for Western medicine or surgery. They are excellent when it comes to keeping someone alive and in emergencies, but in my opinion they are not good at fixing root problems....they only focus on temporarily solving the symptoms of a much deeper underlying problem. I think it's more important to be able to live a long and truly happy active lifestyle for as long as one is able without having to rely on surgeries or prescription drugs.

I've always been interested in massage though and especially chinese and indian healing methods. I never saw myself following this path strangely. I have some major issues with social anxiety, but for some reason I felt compelled to look into this seriously.
I am often very stressed out and anxious....but the times I have massaged my boifriend for instance.....everything begins to slow down and feel meditative. I felt very rejuvenated by doing it.

I said more than I thought I would. Lol! So yeah...that's the deal. I've been looking into a couple places around here for massage and I might have finally found the one that will cater towards my interest in asian medicine and more natural healing methods.

i've got pyo on the brain...

and she's telling me to get working on figuring out how this sewing machine works. we've got things to make!!
....i dunno. i've got things to do...time to go....

First transmission

....i'll keep this short. everything on tribe is looking more promising.
soon i'll be here more often than myspace! yay! their control over me is going to be obliterated!

i've got things to do pyo...so, we'll be on our ways...
