Here's my first podcast. It is a brief breathing meditation to help you center when you need it.
Judge it gently. You can also use the materials already available on the meditation area of this site. Yoga is great, but if you can't manage a yoga practice at home (for whatever reason) there is still a way for you to meditate. Even if you can't find a quiet moment in your day you can practice Mindfulness Meditation (http://www.miraclesofthespirit.org/Techniques.html#Mindfulness). And if you find it difficult to sit still for meditation there are a number of movement meditations that range from music and movement meditation (http://www.miraclesofthespirit.org/Techniques.html#Music) to yoga.
I teach a class at two on Thursdays. Call it a Yoga Instead of Coffee Break. This class is great for releasing stress and centering. On Thursday nights at 7 pm I teach a well-rounded class with an emphasis on mindfulness and body-awareness. There is likely to be laughter at both classes and occasionally we'll incorporate elements from a variety of different traditions that support our yogic efforts.
Come check it out. Nokomis Yoga is located at 2722 East 50th Street (on the corner of 28th Ave. and 50th St., 3 doors down from Nokomis Beach Coffee Shop.). You can even see Lake Nokomis from the street in front of the shop! The website is www.nokomisyoga.com.
Of course, I'm still teaching on Mondays (7 pm, Holy Trinity Lutheran) and Saturdays (11:15 am, Lake Hiawatha Rec Center). Click here http://www.jinjerstanton.com/Yoga.htm for more information about all of my classes.
Here is a page of more photos that I have taken.
Feel free to download any of them and use as wall paper for your computer.
Meditation helps us cross the veil between the world we (think) we live in and the greater reality out of which that world is daily born. Yoga grounds us and helps us be more present for the beauty of our world.
Feel free to use any of the natural images on this site as wall paper for your computer. They are all original photos. See this page for other photos I have taken that you may want to use.
Thanks for visiting. I hope to see you back here again soon! Feel free to email me at jinjer at jinjerstanton dot com to let me know what you think, how your practice of meditation or yoga is going and ask questions about those topics. You can also tell me how your garden is growing!
The spirit in me salutes the spirit in you. We're all in bodies together.
