Yoga Poetry
Yoga student Claudia Reiter was inspired and
energized after the Gong Bath and was moved to
write this:
Bathed in the song of the gong
I know
that I have
many years to live,
a new
life
etched in circular sound,
exploding
hexagonal stars,
and a reluctant pain deep in
my shoulders.
It is faith that brings us
together,
our karma, the gong priest
said,
to be members of a one time
sangha
in which the will to heal
may be
born
in the sound that is all sounds,
the
sound that goes on forever.
One more chance
to live in a state of
grace,
brought back to my true self
by the
memory of chanting,
the sweet high voice in
the dark hall,
the earthy call of chorus and
drum
inviting me to follow them
home.

Did You Know?
Daylight Savings Time is coming Sunday 2 am…and next year the change will be changed:
On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush
signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act
changed the time change dates in the U.S.
Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second
Sunday of March, and end the first Sunday of
November.
Ahhhh. Change. The only constant.

Meta's Message
As we begin to settle into
the winter and coming holiday season, may I
suggest the workshop with Betheyla and Chitra (you can attend just Saturday if Sunday is busy) to prepare for a grounded and nourishing winter.
The young man knows the rules, but the old
man knows the exceptions. -Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

THIS
Saturday/Sunday, October 29 and 30th Getting
Grounded Workshop with Betheyla &
Chitra
Activating the hara and moving from the core
maintains steady energy levels and provides the

upward flowing prana that brings us inspiration,
clarity and a more enlightened state of being.
Take this time with two seasoned teachers of
Ayurveda and Yoga to find your center and
establish your grounding in the strength and
sweetness of moving from the core. (Includes
asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha practice.)
