Babies usually enter the world head first, literally “crowning” as their final move from the fetal stage of development into the oxygen breathing world of humanhood. The Crown Chakra is found at the very top of the head and is the interface between the world of the unseen and this body.

“Everything in nature is made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space.

-- Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati
I would say the prevailing sentiment for me right now is disillusionment. I’m seeing things as they are, not how I’d like them to be.

Have you found yourself rushing to a yoga class? Or perhaps you have found yourself full-on resisting going to yoga, or putting off practicing at home? Oh yes, I have come up with all the excuses. I don’t have time; I have to do X instead; I’m sore; I practiced yesterday; I just ate; I’m too full; It’s selfish right now; My house is messy; My bike has a flat tire; I can’t find my mat; I have to get gas; I’ll be late; I’m already late…sound familiar?
Festival season is on! How better to spend Summer days than meeting ecstatic people, indulging in your favorite music, and dancing through the warm nights.
While music festivals remain a popular way to gather for the summer, many festivals are stepping it up a notch by offering community-based activities for festival-goers. These festivals are based on sustainability, transformation, and a way for healers to gather and healing to take place in a pleasant atmosphere, where the good vibes happen whether you’re in a gardening class or front and center by the biggest stage.
