" What about writing a blog about keeping yourself in a higher vibration ? "
This was an email sent a couple of weeks ago from a supporter of the blog , yogini & photographer Lonnie Butler .
My response to her query was : " What are your thoughts on the process? "
This has been marinating in my mind, what with the prevailing " Let's make yoga a stretch & abs class" vibe here in LA LA ; as I drove back from the OC Thursday night and zipped through Abbott Kinney , YAS Studio's INANE mission statement on their window boasted " No Granola, No Chanting " - i.e. No Yoga , hah.
Yoga Journal's capitulation to "The Hills" generation by bringing in the supremely CHEESY & IDIOTIC "Inappropriate Guy" as a guest editor . These all reek of AFB : " Anything For a Buck" at the expense of what should be a classic MIND, BODY & SPIRIT journey.
The NY Times un-enlightening waste of space/ fluff piece on" DOGA" ( yoga with your dog ) & "yogic" film maker's continuing fascination with Diamond Dallas Page ( of YRG : Yoga for Regular Guys ) as comic relief in their docs.
So here are Lonnie's suggestions on how to keep the good vibrations flowing URDHVA / upwards while we are in the midst of this " HOLLY-YUGA " :
" I started reading up on things to keep myself in a higher vibration because I have some more battles to deal with in terms of my health & I thought that maybe you should blog about this.
Synchronicity happens when you are in a higher vibration. ABUNDANCE happens in a higher vibration.
I know when I am in a higher vibration my intuition is stronger and the answers I am looking for will come.
Since I can't practice physical yoga ( for now ) , I know my meditation practice will help keep me in a higher vibration. "
