My Yoga Story

I was looking to write a short story, that was fun and light and revolved around a Caribbean upbringing, which is still to come at some point in the near future. I am also in Yoga Teacher Training and part of the meditation syllabus is to have a daily meditation practice. To aid my story, I decided to meditate to recover memories from a day in my childhood. I sank into a seated posture, I prepped my physical space to begin meditating. I closed my eyes, deep breath in, deep long breath out.  I am scanning my memory bank in a brand new experience, I haven’t tried this before. I am struggling. I am recalling repetitive activities, but a full day is not coming to mind.  I see a few images of myself, as if I am the observer. I see the day some of my hair was burnt because I was sitting on the structure that my grandpa’s ashes were stored in. It was a concrete block with an urn in the center, it was tiled on the top and every afternoon at sunset or before, m...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls- would also like to include all Beings with consciousness, I present to you, the most indulgent Vegan cookies on planet Steffane. I am sorry, I can't speak for other planets.  I am picky eater and I know I can't be the only one, and since my blog is meant to help at least one person, let's hope this post does it. About my palette:  I come from the Caribbean, I can stop here, but allow me to elaborate. The country that I was born in is made up of 6 ethnic groups; East Indians, Africans, Portuguese, Chinese, Amerindians (indigenous people), and Europeans. As a result, we have a very diverse cuisine that has blended over the years into the most magical array of dishes imaginable. Long story short, I know taste, bitter, spicy, tart, sweet, you name it darling. Ok, without further ado: Best Vegan Cookie # 1:  Alternative Baking Company's Double Chocolate Decadence Cookie I didn't want to include descriptions as I ha...

As you have read on the header of this blog, I have faith in the cosmic energy. I created this blog in 2009, 10 years ago! And now, I decided that I will write on/in? my blog. This is not intended for anyone in particular, perhaps, mostly myself. Dear Little Blog, I will nurture you with the knowledge I find on my many quests; from the old recipe I inherited and doctored up to perfection, to the outfit that pop into my head with such an attitude that I had to delve into the process of creating it, to the act of practicing Ahimsa Yoga, so learning how to take care of my plants. I hope I don't leave you with more questions than answers. You will help at least one person. You will retain Satya , honesty, at all times. You will somehow be entertaining, I am no comic but I am a damn fool so it'll happen. Yea..so, little blog, I am gonna hold ya hands and we gonna do this thing. You serve me with the space, I will bring the  vidyā   or knowledge. Naturegirl
