YOGA AND JOURNALING
NOVEMBER 13, 2009: The Yoga and Journaling workshop was wonderful thanks to all who attended and Lucy Activewear, our sponsor. Our focus, different than earlier in the year, was 4th – 7th chakras, building upon the lower chakras. We took to heart the words of Joseph Campbell who said, “Life is not about the meaning. It’s about the feeling.” But the question is how do we promote healthy relationships between ourselves and others? The story of the Porcupine Fable by Arthur Schopenhauer served as further inspiration. "A troop of porcupines is milling about on a cold winter's day. In order to keep from freezing, the animals move closer together. Just as they are close enough to huddle, however, they start to poke each other with their quills. In order to stop the pain, they spread out , lose the advantage of commingling, and again begin to shiver. This sends them back in search of one and other, and the cycle repeats as they struggle to find a comfortable distance between entanglement and freezing." Also here below are the Affirmations Per Chakra and other details of these particular chakras.
