The Hero& The Victim- Stories in our bodies - Red Things on Tuesday
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. The hero in our bodiesI need to remind myself to be the hero of my yoga practice sometimes. I need to remind myself not to let myself off the hook and play the victim. I had Achilles tendon surgery a few years back. It affects my balance poses. The pose on one foot is very different from that on the other. It would be really easy for me to write it off. I catch myself making excuses, telling myself it's ok to give up. It's never going to be like it was, so why even try? That's my victim: poor me and my foot. I can't do it. And I have a great excuse. But that's not me, that's not you. That's not us. We do it anyway, we try harder. we root into the ball of our foot, and keep working. We train our bodies to become heroes. Our bodies are going to tell the stories of our tiny acts of heroism. That's all. It's quiet here at casa de tam, today. I'll leave you with a couple of quiet songs, and scene from "Sandman" which features a moment between two Eternals.

Get some of that devotional catharsis Don’t sleep on devotional catharsis. Personally, It’s my favorite kind. So much of the healing world, the psychedelic world is focused on releasing trauma. That’s all fine and good, but that’s not all there is. Sometimes in a yoga class, the breathing is just right, and the movement is just right, and trevor hall sings just the right line, and I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of creation, and then infinite love that’s surrounding and moving through me.

Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family. This is a famous old Ram Dass quote. He took all that acid, hung out with gurus and saints, and did as much spiritual practice as anyone could. And Thanksgiving still triggered him. Why should we be different? Who are we that this should be easy? I don't always know how to relate to my folks, we've certainly had our ups and downs. As I write this from their kitchen...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. What's going on? What should I do? Integrating the two confusions. In my class "Meditation for the Journey," we dip our toes into the water of Buddhist Psychology and explore how we're tormented both inside our psychedelic experiences and out, by the three poisons: Greed, attachment, clinging, lust (Raga) Aversion, hatred, avoidance, ill-will, revulsion (Dvesha) Confusion, ignorance, misunderstanding, delusion (Moha) When discussing...
