8/17/09 Meditation class rocks, Successful healing

MKate,  Luke and I are late for meditation class.  My new student leaves.  I won't come late again.  Baba was never late and I shouldn't be either.  The class was full of peace and amazing beauty.  I love being in the class myself.  Even though I seem to be teaching this class,  I never feel like I am.  I go into a deep meditation every time.  The contemplation was from one of my yoga magazines:  the article was written by an M.D.  He talked about the potential of the brain to change.  Very,  very exciting.  New habits can replace old habits in young and old.  So encouraging for people who feel trapped in their habits or who feel that they are losing ground brain cell wise.  Yoga CAN help the brain stay young.  

MKate,  Luke and I are the luckiest people in the world.  We have the best food,  the best vitamins,  and this amazing yoga.  

I plan to change the name of the meditation class.  More people should have the opportunity that we do for peace.   I found a word that's more descriptive of what happens in that magical hour.  I'll be trying it out soon.

MKate came for lunch.  I lost the recipe for salmon cakes that I wanted to try, but I remembered some of the elements and I was able to use them this afternoon.  I added catsup and some mustard to my batter . . .  it was easy and delicious!

1 tin of Salmon

1 tbsp catsup,  1 tbsp mustard (spicey)

6 saltines

1 egg

Heat a mix of coconut oil and olive oil in a pan,  add mustard seeds,  when the oil heats--form patties (don't press too hard) and fry.   Yummmmy.  Crispy outside, moist inside and great flavor.

Luke and I chose another ceiling light for our bedroom,  the old one is too small and doesn't give enough light.  We did the selecting on line.  (For the first time.  Yay,  us) Now we have to wait for the owner to return from an out- of-town job.  It's a small family buisness,  and we like to support them.  Also they do a great job and have the patience to work with my indecision.   I can be hard to work with.  I like this.  I don't like it.  Bring it to the house.  Take it away again.  

Okay.  Dr Pearl writes that for some people healing comes slowly but steadily.  That seems to be happening with me.   I'm amost afraid to talk about it.  I spoke to Rain.  She said that she believes that I helped her avoid a migraine--  with a combo of Dr Pearl' s work,  a massage with C.M. cream and taking some petadolex (butterburr)  I was thrilled when I talked to her today because,  I heard a happy,  healthy sound in her voice.  She sounded . . . empowered.   Thank you Nicole and Dr Pearl.  (Nicole has studied with Dr.  Pearl and she worked on Luke and I)

Luke and I spent a half hour out in our yard.  The sun was slow but warming and the air smelled sweet and flowery.  My white roses are gorgeous.  I have a huge bush of salmon pink roses against a white trumpet type flower.  This yard is like a park and we love it.  The sky was blue with fluffy white clouds moving like graceful boats on the water.

AND guess what.  Luke has found the lost 08 tax material and we can finally get to work.  We won't have the time that we had this summer,  but we'll get it done.  Now that's a miracle that I didn't expect to come so easy.  

I fixed salmon for dinner.  I started by frying onions and yellow peppers in EVO.  Then I added fresh tomatoes and laid the salmon steaks on top.  I seasoned with Bragg's Amino and extra coconut cream.   Delicious.  We had fresh green beans and a potatoe with the salmon.  

I tried to call all the people I haven't reached yet who might be interested in meeting with Bapaji.
