Friday/Saturday Playlist

Mornin' Kulis!

As I suspected I would, I'm spending this chilly Sunday morning thinking of you all, wondering how you're making your first "off the cleanse" choices. From your little i or your Big I? I'm sending you wishes for steadiness and ease.

I had some requests for the playlist we enjoyed on Friday and Saturday mornings so here goes. Many of these are available on iTunes...

Deep Love (Aquilo's Arabian Dub) by DJ Raja from Ganesh Lounge
Kurthi Mal Mal Di, artist unknown, album unknown (bhangra music)
Within You Without You by The Beatles from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Positive Vibration by Bob Marley& The Wailers from Natural Mystic
Fly Like an Eagle by Seal from Seal: Best 1991-2004
Human Beings by Seal from Seal: Best 1991-2004
One by U2 from Achtung Baby
Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys from The Greatest Hits, Vol 1
Changes by David Bowie from Changesbowie
Brand New Day by Van Morrison from Moondance
Lean on Me by Bill Withers from Bill Withers' Greatest Hits
Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan from Bob Dylan: The Collection - Biograph
Let It Be by The Beatles from 1
Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel (with Kate Bush) from Hit (Disc 1)

A suggestion: This transition period is extremely important. What you do over the next couple of days may set the tone for your new habits to either take hold or not. Besides continuing mindfulness (and perhaps restraint) with your diet, I urge you to keep up your seated meditation practice. Each day set aside 15 minutes, use a kitchen timer and just sit with your mala and repeat and/or meditate on your mantra. If you don't have 15 minutes to set aside each day, maybe we should talk ;) In addition, please look at your week's activities and decide now which days you're going to practice asana. Practice making this a priority. If you skip a week, simply because you have just done such a big, long week of yoga and now you're busy, you will be shocked and amazed to see how quickly your current intentions fade. Just one week and it can evaporate, I've seen it happen too many times to not "warn" you about it now. It really happened with the Spring Kula. "I'll give myself a week long break" turned into months, no joke.

I'm here to help you put the changes you've initiated into practice - as are we all!!

Big love,
Gina

Thank you Gina for the playlist. That really worked well with yoga and I would have not thought of it as an option before. My Sunday is going quite well. My headache has passed. I did have a cup of coffee this morning and I hate to admit it but it tasted sooooooo good. After church we always go out to eat but this time we came home to eat and I made wise choices. It felt good. I am just looking forward to more yoga. See ya Mon. Also off to do much laundry.
