Be Here Now (Var.)
I have been meditating more in recent weeks than I had been for quite some time. It is providing a balance to all the intensity.

On My Way to New Jersey
I was not able to attend the mid-week intensive in New Jersey with John Friend. It was hard enough to make room in my schedule for the weekend workshop.
I can, though, be with my teacher and friends not just in spirit, but in intention. Knowing that the focus of the intensive was sadhana (practice), I selected The Philosophy of Sadhana to read on my way to the weekend, so that when I arrive I can be more in alignment mentally with those who already have been immersed this week in deep study of what sadhana means for ourselves and in community. Choosing to study in a way that connects us with our friends on the path, even when we cannot physically be present with them is, of course, one of the ways we support relationship in sadhana.

On the Way Home from Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen Workshop at Willow Street Yoga
I came home from the workshop with much to explore in my own practice, and it was good to see old friends from the yoga community and make new acquaintances.
One of the things I appreciated were the demonstrations of therapeutic applications. Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen noted that the first issue is survival, observing that since we were all safely together in a nice yoga studio, that we had survival covered.
The second thing, she suggested, before offering healing, is to make sure that both the person receiving and the person making the offering are comfortable.
I add to the latter that having both people be comfortable increases the likelihood that they will be able to stay present and mindful, which should increase the possibility of efficacy.
