The Night Before my Father Crossed Over, Some Really Inexplainable Happenings

masquerade ball

I had three distinct experiences the last 48 hours before my dad passed on 5/1/15. Then one really definitive one at the time of his crossing, through my sister’s cell.

Firstly, I was staying at his home and in his bed, while he was in the hospital, because we knew the end of this part of his journey could be very near. That night I envisioned my dad in the hospital room filled with white light. I was doing distance healing and ‘training’ him how to leave his body. We were working on his letting go of the attachment to the body and he would kind of float above it but ‘snap’ back out of like habit, I guess for lack of a better word.

We continued to work as I encouraged him, he was able to lift up and transcend a bit, maybe to the ceiling of the room he was in. I kept saying in my heart to his mind and heart, “Dad, just leave it and lift up! It is really easy! You can do it!”

As this practice was happening the entire hospital became a glowing golden light. All of the workers there really cared about their patients and the love lit up the hospital. Then it glowed white and a sacred symbol enveloped the building.

Later that night I slept. I awoke with such a vivid, lucid vision and an actual feeling of having traveled somewhere. This I was not aware of until now, but I SAW THIS the night before my dad crossed!!! I had this very real experience where I was at this party! Everyone was larger than life, in masquerade and in full on gala mode! It was the most ostentatious event and the level of exuberance and joy was indescribable!

I am now aware, from my dear friend Jessica, who’s son has recently passed over: The Norse people called those who’ve lived good lives and who’ve passed “Einherjar”, which means “the Honored Dead”. They live forever in the halls of the Gods, in Folkvangr with Freyja, and in Valhalla with Odin. Every day and night they celebrate; drinking, feasting, fighting, and loving each other as they watch over and protect their mortal descendants…. celebrate those honored dead… shake the gates of Valhalla, The Dance of The Einherjar!

This was exactly it!

The third experience was earlier that month, my sister and I were pulling in to the hospital. I was in my mom’s old PT Cruiser that I got when she passed. She was in the next row parking. There was a guy smoking standing near the car next to me all dressed all in white. I was already agitated since he was smoking and I did not want to open my door into some nasty smoke. I got out and he looked at me and smiled, and asked, “what is that symbol on your car?” It was the OM! It was a sticker that read I do Yoga 4 Love.net and a huge OM on both back windows. So of course all my walls went down. Just then Denise, my sister walked over. I proceeded to tell him the meaning of this sacred symbol, birth, death, life, rebirth, the primordial sound of the Universe! I was in full excited yoga teacher to new student mode. Then he told us about his wife. She was coming home with him today and he was so happy. He proceeded, she was saved, she almost died and she was still here! She is a miracle and she is coming home. He also mentioned that they were Jewish I believe. Then we shared how happy we were for him, we turned to leave. I don’t know what happened next but he was totally gone. Neither Denise nor I can recall ever smelling cigarette smoke the entire time. Now you know as much as we.

Lastly, the moment before the actual moment Dad passed he stretched on the last breaths, and it turned midnight. It was 5/1, May Day. We were right there and sang the HU as he passed into the Light. Denise got a text and it read ‘Pay the Pilot’. Well we were like WTF? That was so strange and I immediately thought that the Pilot is really the Bug Guy upstairs! She said she used to have a car called a Pilot, but that was gone a very long time before that day! Plus, she never had any reminders for it from her phone.

The other really cool thing that happened at the exact moment he passed was that all his pets came running to him. As you may have known or suspected I see things. Well I SAW all of our childhood pets, and all his pets I did not know, led by Dolly the Dachshund. They were all like “PAPPA IS HOME!!!” The Rainbow Bridge is real. And so special. Pets DO have souls!

So there you have it.

Some really weird and inexplainable shit. So freaking cool.

What Defines a Yogi’s Daily Self Care?

Daily self care is so important. Practice of the poses is only one of the 8 limbs of yoga. The rest are all about the mind. This is why I love this practice so much. I always love a challenge, it starts with my self care time daily. I must first be diligent to take care of me so that I can take care of everyone else in my family and my life! I love the fact that this lifestyle allows, and really requires, this of us as yogis. http://www.yoga4love.net/kale-banana-coconut-milk/
Here are a few things that I do every single day when I wake:

Global Launch for Yoga 4 Love Advanced Training Programs Coming Soon!

We did it. Oh goodness we did it! !! I have completed the final downloads of my entire Yoga 4 Love Advanced Training Programs 200 ONLINE! The writing of my CDs into this complete box set!  Just could not have come at a better time! When you’re ago today, I close the doors to my old studio, Dynamic Yoga 4 Love. I trusted spirit through the chaos of fire, demolition, rebuild and the purchase of a new cabin which I did not know would be fully intended to house this training as my live recording studio. Today we also received our first egg from our new hens. What a true blessing from Spirit. Such an affirmation to all the hard work and diligence put into the creation of this immense project. So much gratitude to all of my students and trainees who have participated in big and small ways to make this happen. Especially my hubby who had been so understanding with me and going to bed alone while I stay up late nights to write and edit.

Global launch will be in June 2016! Promo video coming soon

Yoga Doga in the Park with Your Dog!

Yoga Doga in the Park with the City of Cedar Hill! What a huge success! (except for the part when Lightning bit his leash off at the end of the class and it retracted back and I had to use a towel lol).

Congrats to the Newest Yoga 4 Love Teacher Training Graduates!

The last 6 months creating this 200 hour program with these beautiful souls has been an amazing experience. We’ve spent an entire 7 Days together,  including a Kirtan concert, and intensive, plus many hour vinyasa 301 practices, all being recorded.

Needless to say,  the last week with our retreat and intensive has been intense. We spent countless hours last winter and spring online together teaching and learning Y4L Modules 1 to 5.

I am very thankful for this group of amazing yoginis to have dedicated their time, talent, finances, and intention to see this global teacher training come alive!

This has been my vision for quite some time, to bring this vinyasa  program to the world.  Since the inception of One Yoga USA in 2011, teaching the true lineage of vinyasa Yoga from our guru and master Krishnamacharya.

I am so pleased that all of this information is now printed and downloadable in my manual, recorded on audio and video soon available to my students. I will finish writing all this amazing information into a concise and clear form for generations to enjoy. This is just the beginning!

This training is available for you to start this year with the next class in September of 2015! Every Y4L Training Program consists of 5 modules, an intensive, audio and live video classes with me. To complete your training you will enjoy a lovely retreat with a faculty guest teacher from our Ine Yoga USA program. Followed by a week-long intensive to deepen your study and in embody the practice.

Upon completion of all of the required reading, practice hours and homework, and a final test co coteaching your fellow students, you will receive your certification! The remaining students in this class will complete their certification in the winter retreat of 2015.

I feel like a proud momma!

How Bipolar Introduced Me To Yoga

It was the Christmas Day 2000, when I was released from the psychiatric hospital.  After two weeks of being there I was actually scared and reluctant to go home.  It’s safe behind the walls of the hospital.  Everything is planned out for you, so there’s no decisions to be made.  Everyone else there knows how you feel and what you are going through, but it was time for me to leave.  That day the weather was terrible, there was snow, ice, and the roads were completely frozen over.  It took us hours to get home.
