i celebrate five new year’s a year:
my birthday. Autumn Equinox (jewish). Winter Solstice (dying of the sun; rebirth). Arbitrary Calendar New Year (January 1st) Vernal Equinox (beginning of the zodiac, sufi/vedic new year)
So… on the way to the New Year’s Eve party
i was feeling my teeth hurting (la la la) and did a really great meditation on the train
then decided i should use it as an example to teach yoga
so went through it verbally into my recorder
i convereted it to mp3 and uploaded it to my sever
here: a New Year’s Gift to whomever wants to hear it
Yoga Meditation on the New Year
it has nothing to do with “new year’s eve”
but i think it’s pretty great.
Last Night
i did a performance piece at Nayland’s “Misbehaviour”
the next one is on January 9th
i won’t be performing again, but i’ll be there.
my “piece” was a sort of meditation
— i’ve been teaching a lot of yoga for the last four months
and have always enjoyed leading meditations…
the idea struck me as i was walking from class two days ago
through the driving snow, freezing wind
and feeling desperately sad and frustrated
— it is meant to be a response to one (some) of Nayland’s pieces in his retrospective at
http://www.location1.org/
i kept trying to write things, but it was just about our relationship
— with all the “relationship” trouble i’ve had in my life
the idea of yoga, mediation, and freezing in the cold
i came up with this idea
the original recording i made on my iPhone i’ve put HERE in mp3 format
i had it playing softly in my ear last night, but ended up not really following it..
the video of last night’s performance can be seen here: (in mp4, ipod format)
