I feel like the more I cram pack this info into my head the less I seem to know it. For me, testing like this is just a game of "who can stuff themselves the most" then walk into an exam room and puck it all back up over the pages. But is that learning?
Oh me and artistic brains :P I am not a very good regurgitator - but that's OK. I love that when I do something I do learn it even if it does take a little longer. And that when I am truly finished with a project the results are outstanding. I love my sense of integrity. I carry myself with pride.I have an amazing energy and everyone can feel it...
I think I have forgotten that a bit over the last 35 days...
I may not be the best at tests but I am the best at a lot of other things that do that raise me up. So, I need to stop stressing. If my mind doesn't retain all this sanskirt right now for all these different yoga philosophies, that's OK - I know them in english :P and the sanskirt will come in practice. Then I won't just have it in my brain to be lost after a test it will really be mine. That is far more relevant for me. Still, the reality is that I want my certificate asap so I must play the game a little and do well on this exam...
& I will :)
I finished the 1st draft of my book today for Allaine's class. By 1st draft I mean what I need to complete for this course but this assignment and the idea of it has opened a whole bunch of doors in my mind. Where I would like to take this idea... super excited for the possibilities. Thank you Allaine for this blessing of hard work. I love these things where I get to showcase how keen I am at presentation and understanding how to draw people in.
We live in a visual world. How great is it that I am in yoga and I am a professional photographer. I love it!
Yoga IS for everyone. I have learned that and respect that so much in the last 2 weeks of training with Allaine. Now I need to figure out the secret because it is not just knowing how to make yoga accesable to everyone but also how to make it desirable to everyone. That is key.
It's late and I still need to do more studying. Need to go to bed before 1am too. So many late nights works on all this yoga stuff.
My love will be here on Saturday.
Wish me luck
Much love to you all!

In
my research I did find out that mercury has finally been
taken out of most childhood vaccines. Nevertheless, there is still a
significant amount of mercury in many flu shots as well as tetanus booster
shots and some meningitis vaccines. Trace amounts of mercury still remain in
other vaccines. Mercury is known to be one of the most toxic substances on
earth and no amount of mercury is safe, especially when injected into a baby’s
small developing body.
With the
current vaccination schedule, over 100 vaccine antigens and significant amounts
of toxins are injected into the bloodstreams of babies and young children
before the age of five. Chemicals and heavy metals known to be toxic are used
in vaccines as preservatives, to inactivate or kill the viruses or bacteria
used in the vaccines, and as adjuvants or enhancers to help improve
effectiveness.
Most
vaccines are given in the first and second year of a baby’s life during the
critical period of brain and immune development. Some doctors say that a baby’s
immune system is not strong enough to handle the amount of vaccine antigens
that are directly injected (bypassing normal entry), and their livers are
not developed enough to metabolize or excrete the toxic chemicals or
metals in vaccines.
What is said
about Aluminum:
Most of the
recent reports and discussion concerning toxicity of vaccines has revolved
around the mercury issue, but mercury is certainly not the only toxic problem
with childhood vaccines. Aluminum is used as an adjuvant to boost the immune response
from vaccines. Scientific evidence of the safety of injected aluminum is sorely
lacking.
Aluminum can
accumulate in tissues and can build up to toxic levels in the bloodstream,
bones, and brain. Accumulation of aluminum in the brain is known to impair
neurological and mental development. Animal studies show that aluminum causes
convulsions, impaired memory, and defective learning.
The
difference in the amount of aluminum that may be considered safe for babies and
the amount that is actually contained in vaccines is alarming. The FDA website
says that premature babies receiving injected aluminum through IV fluids at
levels greater than 4 to 5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day, can
accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone
toxicity, and toxic build-up may occur at even lower rates. For a tiny
premature baby, the toxic dose would be 10 to 20 mcg. It is estimated that a
12-pound, two-month-old full-term, healthy baby could safely receive at least
30 mcg of injected aluminum via IV per day. But it is unknown how much more
aluminum a healthy baby can handle and how much can be safely injected into a
baby via vaccines.
The safety
of aluminum levels in vaccines has never been established. No research has been
done to determine a baby’s ability to excrete aluminum to prevent toxic
build-up. No one has measured the levels of aluminum absorption by the
bloodstream when an aluminum-containing vaccine is injected into a baby. Also
disturbing is the lack of data to determine if injected aluminum interacts with
other vaccine toxins to cause harm to small developing bodies.
A newborn
baby receiving a Hepatitis B shot on its first day of life gets 250 mcg of
aluminum from this vaccine. The total amount of aluminum that a 2-month-old
baby receives from the recommended “well-baby” vaccines could vary from 295
mcg. to 1225 mcg., depending on which vaccines are given. This dose is usually
repeated at 4 months and again at 6 months of age.
Other Toxins and
Allergens
There are also
trace or residual amounts of 2-phenoxyethanol, phenol, albumin, sucrose,
lactose, MSG, glycine, formaldehyde, and antibiotics (neomycin) in vaccines.
These are very small amounts, but do we want to continually inject even small
amounts of these toxins directly into our tiny babies’ developing bodies, given
their inability to detoxify and how vulnerable they are to low levels of
toxins? If trace amounts of formaldehyde, MSG, or antibiotics were in foods
that were to be given to our babies, most of us wouldn’t allow it. Yet, these
toxins go directly into the baby’s bloodstream.
Vaccines
also can contain egg and yeast proteins. We delay giving our babies solid
foods, mostly to avoid the proteins that can cause allergies. Why would we
inject isolated proteins into their bodies at 2 months old?

We learned reflexology in the last half of my classes today. Needless to say VERY wonderful! The feet are amazing little things we don't give enough credit to. So break out your oils and give those tootsies some TLC.
In my second yoga class today with Gabby she sung the Gayatri Mantra that we need to know for one part of our exams. Hardly anyone in the class was repeating after her so I had to pipe up :P So THANK YOU GABBY! Through this I finally have for sure in my head. Such a pretty montra. I love it.
Lane called me today and told me he was playing in the company gold tournament (which I know he loves so all in all we are both having great days which rocks!). What is especially wonderful it that this will be the last Saturday that I see his lovely face on Skype. This time next week he will be with me here in Miami! Can't wait.
Till then, I am staying focused on all my yoga - Allaine told me today that the videos I sent her of my practicing teaching with the for poses for the lower back and treating pain were well regarded by her son :P Thank you! that says a lot :) Allaine's 9 yr old son also made her a candle light dinner to come home to since she was going to be working till late. It's that the sweetest thing!
I spoke with two of my dear friends today when I got home from classes today. One of them, in Toronto Cananda, is achieving her and her husbands dream and moving to LA next month! I am so excited to hear this. It was been a couple years since they set up to make this move and I know there has been times where she has wondered why it wasn't happening sooner. But the wait is over and next month they will be LIVING in LA!
My other friend, in Tamarindo Costa Rica, last year was struggling with her business and getting the word out there on her business. I made some suggestions on how to use trip advisor to help her as well as a business fb page. She messaged me today saying that a year later since doing what I suggested she has saved up enough income with all the revenue her business made through these free ways to promote it, that she is ready to take her business to the next level. Amazing news! I am super stocked for her and so touched by her message of gratitude to me today. She did it! I am so happy for both of my dear friends and there success!
To all my other dear friends and family who I have not spoken much to in the last two month (before I got here with all my work gearing up to leave and then the time that I have been here in this training), let me take this time to thank you for you love and understanding. One more week to go. I have learned so much and I am excited to share all of my leanings with all of you.
One of my friends asked me what I thought of how it has been in this course. I told her I couldn't answer her at this time. I told her I would get back to here two days after the end of my course when I am on the other side. I will tell you the start was nothing like what I was envisioning or expecting. Nevertheless, sometime the things that stick with us the most in life are the things that we cannot plan for. I did tell my friend that I am proud of myself.
About two weeks into the first section of our course with Fred he told us a story about a caterpillar cocoon. He told us this story of these two boy who walk each day through the forest to school. They saw this caterpillar cocoon on there walk every day. One day they saw that the caterpillar cocoon has split open and that there is a butterfly struggling to break free of its caterpillar cocoon. One of the boys decided to help the butterfly and cut the caterpillar cocoon open so it could get out. He did so, and away the boys went to school. The next day they came across the same caterpillar cocoon and the butterfly was there beside the caterpillar cocoon dead. You see, the butterfly needed that struggle of breaking through it's own caterpillar cocoon in order to build enough strength to fly.
I know it is a little self evident the results in this story but I think for me it is what has helped me gain perspective.
I am not sure why, but the last few days I haven't had much to day on this blog. In this section of my course, Gentle Therapeutics, with Allaine, I have found some inner peace. Some inner quiet and I am taking a moments to let it resonate.

Happy August! My class doesn't start with Allaine till 2:30pm today so I am writing my blog now.
JUST FINISHED FRED'S SECTION OF THE COURSE! Yep whole package with EVERYTHING required is sent out to him. It is a total of 108 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy holy! But that is everything with my food log and my essay, and my class reviews and all the chapters homework. Super excited it is all done.
Need to get back to work on Allaine's book now. Soon I need to start studying for Fred's exam too. I am going to be taking the exam a couple days before the last day since Lane arrives on the 11th and in the start we were told that the 11th was our fun day not exam day. So I told Lane to get here in the morning but now they have changed things so to adapt I am just going to do my exam early - so need to be ready.
Here is a video of me working on my forehand stand at the apartment
Ah great morning yoga self practice.
Later in the day we were given homework of holding head stand against the wall for 3 minutes and then another 3 minutes and the the same with shoulder stand. I taped the 1st headstand...or should I say Salamba Sirsasana to Sarvangasana :)
I was feeling rather stressed today when I got to class. Lots happening and I have been through a lot here in the journey. It can be overwhelming at points and I don't even have my own home to go to after to feel at ease in. I talk to my husband a lot but it's not the same. I just wanted to take a minute to send a special thank you to my yoga instructor and classmates for instantly making me feel better. I am so grateful to you all! xo
Time to get tired up again in Allaine's class. Love Allaine's classes - learn so much but with lots of laughs. Time to tie me up again :P Here are some of the set up shots for Shoulder Stand -Salamba Sarvangasana
