Dear Reader,
Today is Rebecca Bradshaw’s last day as Guiding Teacher at insightpv.org and she has done a really good job of speaking and scheduling great visiting teachers!
She will be missed and the celebration is tonight. If I had played I would have sung, Heart’s “Dog and the Butterfly”(keywords: “She had to try.”) or possibly Sheryl Crow’s “Always on your Side.” She has free talks on dharmaseed.org that really rock!
Anyway, psychotherapist and Buddhist teacher Jean Esther recently did a great parable, on weeds and detaching from our attachments, that was hilarious(long story short), and the week before: Dawn Scott spoke about moderating reactivity. She is a wonderful trainee in the 4-year Teacher Training at IMS Barre, MA.
All wonderful teachers there and a great chance to become part of a community!
In other news I am so blessed to have the very professional and also maternal(and younger:) Sara Rose Page visit me twice a week for Yoga class mid-mornings. Yesterday a totally awesome thing happened. We were doing Savasana at the end to OM music, she played the brass bell my husband had bought for Yoga 🧘♀️, and so beautifully, to wake me up....
Then we faced each other in mixed lotus and said our Om’s. I usually run out of breath before she does and although I sing, her Om is stronger; but just as I dropped out I heard an overtone of a Fifth above coming from over my right shoulder way up high, like the golden light of an angel singing. I’m not particularly into golden light as it always reminds me of something else golden(LOL)
and when was the last time I called on angels, whoever/wherever/whatever they are? But I asked her, “Has your class ever been so in tune that you heard overtones?” She was not sure.
I’m not sure we were even all that perfectly in tune(!) but feel free to comment, “Have you ever been so in tune you heard overtones?” I felt as though it might be consolation for the first grey day of October!
We feel that artists tend to be clairvoyant and musicians, well they tend to hear!
