Home sweet home is Stillpoint!

I'm so happy to have returned and be practising with John and Lucy again. Although I seem to have lost all my strength in the past 2 weeks it is slowly coming back and my trust in John's hands have increased incredibly. And he continues to share his teaching and takes time to explain his logic. Oh I thank everyday for whatever brought me to John.

There wasa big storm in Nelson yesterday with trees falling, roofs flying…so we've lost our internet connection but maybe even that is a blessing because finally I got to leave the groundsa bit more to do some weeding, watch Seth chop wood, and generally become more mobile. As the rain came in we all huddled up in the main lounge watching DVDs and talking…

Takako is here for 5 weeks and also Sharon who runs a yoga studio in Vancuver, for 4 weeks so we're bonding well. Sharon has taken up knitting and this Saturday we said we'd head into town to but some wool for me to start knitting myself legwarmers…How exciting. I'm doing things that I normally wouldn't. And just being in the grounds weeding has been great, not thinking but literally getting rid of crap! I feel that I'm cleansing myself, bad thought and emotions too.

Oh and we made some energy ball last night with Michael, which frankly looked like s*** initially so we called them "mierda balls" but they were yummy…So its more about baking, eating, resting, reading and meditating are the activities I take outside of yoga!

All good, I feel very grounded and strong on my feet. There is firmness in my posture, strength, I feel like I'm ready to take on a big project soonJ
