Ashtanga Yoga Postures – are they really yoga? By: Yogacharya I did a Google Search for “ashtanga yoga postures” today, just to see what will come up. All ten first-page results gave me exactly what I didn’t want … It gave me websites about the wrong ashtanga yoga. There’s more than one Ashtanga yoga? No, not really … but in recent times the word “ashtanga” has been attached to a dynamic system of yoga-based exercises … and it’s become so popular that it has literally taken over the word ashtanga yoga as its own, leaving many practitioners of the traditional system of ashtanga yoga baffled and dismayed. To them, yoga is a sacred, disciplined, eight-limbed science for personal development and inner transformation … a system that includes much more than what is utilized in the newer, fitness centered pop-ashtanga version.

  Does Footsteps In Eden Reflexology in Bartlett, TN, have eco-friendly practices, and what are they? While I have been pondering a blog post on this topic for awhile now, I was smacked in the face with it this morning as I was registering my business with Angie's List. That was a 'surprise' question to me in that 'setting,' but a great one as well to make me think how to answer. Kudos to Angie's List for asking! First of all, don't you just love the green footprint?!?! How perfect to find that little jewel for a post on eco-practices in my reflexology business. Just love it! Now on to what Footsteps In Eden Reflexology does do to be green. Just the very nature of reflexology makes it a VERY GREEN business. There's really nothing actually required for this therapy except a client and a reflexologist's hands (OK, they will need to be attached to the reflexologist - LOL). I work from my home.

Our feet support us in more ways than we know. They not only carry our entire body and give us balance, the sole of each foot and the palm of each hand contains a map of the whole anatomy that corresponds to all of the body’s organs and systems. The basic technique involves the use of the thumb and fingers to apply pressure to the reflex-zones in either the hand or the foot to provoke a healing response throughout the entire body.

I've always liked the number 13. Even more so since my daughter was born on the 13th. I've come to learn that the number 13 signifies a spiral . Twelve (12) signifies the "vicious" circle that begins where it ends, repeating upon itself (like the "clock").  But thirteen is the next step up, that creates the spiral . I read this years ago in Wise Woman traditions... it was in these wise women (witch hunt days) tradition where 13 was regarded as the spiraling ascension of seemingly magic, and hence the number 13 was cursed, like these wise women witches, as an unlucky number.  It seems that 2012, with all the data, myths, science, and speculation signifies something very important... the end of a vicious circle, hence 12. And 2013 will dawn the ascension of that the spiral to its next step.  Check out these amazing videos of our solar system and galactic spiraling. It sure puts a new spin on our perception of things. http://www.yaplakal.com/ forum28/t...
