Healing Script-tanis Fishman
The practice of yoga nidra begins now.
Lie comfortably on your back, and try to support your head as best as possible as the weight of it may become a distraction throughout the practice. Ensure you feel safe, warm, and supported by the blankets, props and space you are in.
Lying down in savasana, rest your head in neutral alignment, let your legs will fall easily to the sides, however allow the right and left side body to feel symmetrical. Walk one shoulder blade underneath of your body and then the other as your arms and hands comfortably fall to the side of your body with your palms outstretched.
Staring at the back of your eyelids, engage your peripheral vision and allow the eyes to sink back and wide into the eye sockets. Swallow, and track the energy of release down through your mouth to the base of your digestive system.
Yoga Nidra is a practice of deep relaxation to guide you to the seat of your conscious awareness. Through complete voluntary stillness and conscious relaxation of the physical body, tune yourself to the electric current of your nervous system and cue it to start to relax, rest and calm down. Through the practice of yoga nidra, you can enable the consciousness of your cells to come into a vibrational frequency with the optimal blue print of the human body and Spirit. This is naturally done by entering deep states of conscious relaxation. Position the awareness of your mind to staying awake and alert through the entire practice.
Stillness of your outer form will inspire and allow the inner fluctuation of thoughts and wakefulness to take the cue towards a quieter inner landscape as you begin to notice the natural pregnant pauses in between the top of your inhale and the bottom of your exhale. (pause) If you have trouble calming the mind, allow yourself to think the thoughts that are coming to your awareness right now and by the action of watching and observing their fluctuations, sink into a deeper seat of awareness inside of yourself. If you have no resistance to whatever is arising inside this moment, you will naturally be in a state of freedom…
Widen the bones of your pelvis and the bones of your skull and allow both to sink into the soft receptivity of the earth. Widen the central channel of your spinal column and feel a mercurial widening of the abdominal organs, the lungs and giving more space for your soft-beating heart. The bones on either side of your nose begin to widen and the muscles of your face soften any expression, personality and emotion gently melts off.
Any hardness your body has had to adapt due to stress, worry, or concern is placed on pause, you are here right now…in a safe environment.., feel a newborn like softness and liquidity is taking over your entire system. You are feeling the bones, joints, and muscles start to pool to the back of your body and the edge of where you end and the atmosphere around you begins, becomes more ethereal. Relaxation is a choice, a choice to return to your natural state.
Lastly, relax the part of your brain that labels and identifies matter into things separate from yourself. The sounds outside and inside of this room, my voice, the sound of your beating heart, the temperature of this room, the light dancing at the back of your eyelids, all become reduced to the vibration of light and sound that your softening inner ears begin to receive merely as vibration rather than things you prefer or dislike. Feel the vibration of your cells, the vibration of your environment, and the electricity of your body become quieter, softer and like a soft breeze to your conscious awareness.
Through conscious relaxation and the soft receptivity that is evoked with humble prayer we will plant the Sankalpa, the intention or resolve that we work with in yoga nidra to express our authentic desire to the field of consciousness that we are softly swimming inside. This nidra practice will be guiding you towards a powerful and complete healing within your form. In a concise, powerful, and positive statement, your sanklalpa will be worded to express the form of healing that you are intending to receive in this practice.
Allow your mind to go into the quiet space associated with listening as you direct your awareness to the exquisite intelligence of your body, the all-seeing nature of your spirit, and the perfect condition of your heart to receive the Sankalpa that wants to come through you at this time. When you place your precise intention into that same receptive stillness of your mind, it is in this place that the fertile soils of quietude that become the deepest root amongst many thoughts that carry a more shallow foundation.
The doubtful, unwell, and disconnected portions of the mind now silence for the Sankalpa to rise to your awareness. If you are seeking an overall feeling of health and wellness, you may keep your Sankalpa general intending to align with the optimal blueprint of a perfect human form. If you are requesting a healing of a specific body part, internal issue, holding pattern within yourself, or disconnection from your essence – allow your Sankalpa to reflect the specifics of the healing that you will be receiving.
Examples may be. " I am a perfectly healed, vibrant channel of Divine life force" or "My internal organs and systems are operating with perfect wholeness and wellness" "I am an expression of optimal health in human form"
"I am completely aligned with my body"
"I am well".
Now, repeat your Sankalpa three times with courage, sincerity and complete faith in the power of it.
I will begin to guide you deeper into the practice of yoga nidra. Relax your looking eyes as we move through the rotation of physical consciousness – begin to see with your inner eye and your feeling state of sensation. Because this is a healing focused nidra, as I guide you to specific body parts, see and feel a warm glowing golden light being awakened in that area See the golden light connecting all the parts of your body that you bring your consciousness to. Move your awareness in sync with my voice as we connect the entire body in warm golden light.
Feel and see now the warm golden light awakening in your right thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, small finger, palm of the hand saturated with golden light, back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, right side of ribcase, keep moving the golden light down the body…right thigh, knee, calf, ankle, top of the right foot, sole of the right foot, big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, fifth toe. Hold the entire right side of your body in strong presence of the golden light.
Leave the right side, move to the left. Warm golden light awakens in the left hand. Left thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, small finger, palm of the hand filled with warm golden light, back of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, armpit, left side of ribcase, continue feeling the golden light…left thigh, knee, calf, ankle, top of the left foot, sole of the foot, big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, fifth toe. Feel and see the entire left side of your body come online.
See this golden light move into your torso, connecting every single cell of your internal organs, lungs, heart, spine, nerves and muscular connections.. all being touched by awareness…golden warm light…
Move up the central spine into the brain. Move now into the forehead, right eyebrow, left eyebrow, center of the eyebrows, right eyeball, left eyeball, right cheek, left cheek, right ear, left ear, right nostril, left nostril, nose, tip of the nose, upper lip, lower lip, chin, whole face, teeth, gums, tongue, right and left side of the brain – Your entire head saturated now with golden warm light. Now bring awareness to all major parts, arms, legs, front, back, Entire body lit, connected, without any disconnections in your awareness…homogenous awareness of your whole body…warm golden light…whole body awareness…whole body awareness… Feel and see your entire body deeply woven into the energy of this golden light. Feel your whole body buzzing light without interruption or disconnection seamlessly from top to bottom, within all areas, perfectly connected, perfectly glowing patterns of light. Feel your whole body communicating perfect and optimal health…you are in a healing state…recalibrating to the larger intelligence field of nature…there's nothing you need to do…just stay aware and observe your body healing itself…(long pause)
Observe the breath…watch the natural breath arising inside you…you are witnessing life happening…without any interference…see the warm glowing golden light as the breath…moving…pulsing through you…the natural breath is growing the light…intensifying the light inside your body…Your breath is not localized to lungs…but every cell in your body is breathing…observe this…feel the power and movement of the breath like rivers of golden light flowing through your body. Every inhale and exhale seamlessly connect and move powerful light through your entire system. Soft, powerful light glowing with each inhale and exhale…(pause). Now bring awareness to your spine. Start at the bottom and watch the inhale travel up your spine…bringing the golden light to this area…once you reach the crown of the head, the exhale brings the light down the spine to coccyx. Maintain awareness of the breath moving up and down the spine…golden light moving simultaneously with the breath….(pause) Now mentally repeat the mantra of the breath - SO HAM with every breath. S-O as you breath in….H-A-M as you breath out…Stay alert with the mantra…light channeled up and down the spine…growing brighter and brighter with each repetition…illuminating the entire system…(pause)
Now bring your awareness to the opposite sensations that I cue to you. Awakening these specific sensations will bring balance and homeostasis to the brain enabling a deeper sense of relaxation.
Now experience yourself becoming heavy. Feel every muscle, every bone, every joint heavy, sinking into the floor. Imagine the body being filled with sand, the sand filling out to the edges and corners of your body adding weight to your fingers and toes, sinking deeper through the back of your skull, through your shoulders, hips, and heels. Feel yourself so heavy that you couldn't lift your body from the floor if you tried. So heavy, extreme heaviness.
Lightness, lightness, lightness, the body now becomes light, weightless. Every bone, muscle and joint begins to lighten and feel buoyant as if it could begin to float up off the floor. All the sand is now pouring out of your body and onto the floor. Feeling extremely light. The boundaries of the physical body begin to dissolve and fade away as your inner space begins to merge with the space surrounding you. Lightness, lightness, lightness.
Now, Recall the feeling of heavy and light. Hold both these sensations at the same time in your awareness. There is enough room inside you for both these sensations to be held in a relaxed way…(pause)
Feel the body now become very HOT
Develop the manifestation of heat in and around the body.
Imagine standing in the desert, at midday, in the blazing hot sun. Your throat is becoming dry and parched from the heat. You are breathing in intense heat. Each inhale of the hot air increases the heat within your body.
Develop the feeling of heat within the body from head to toes.
Feel the experience with all of your senses.
You are experiencing extreme heat.
Now reverse the feeling and try to feel COLD
Become aware of temperature below zero, and dropping rapidly.
Your whole body experiences the effects of a freezing cold wind blowing from a snow-covered glacier.
A deep freeze descends around you.
Awaken a sense of intense cold. Feel your body start to shiver.
Now, hold both the sensations of hot and cold simultaneously. Feel both hot and cold together at the same moment in time…(pause)
Now bring about a feeling or past experience of sickness. What did it feel like to be sick...remember that feeling and tune into the low vibration of sickness...
Wellness, remember a time where you felt completely well and healthy. Your body and mind vibrant and rich. Let this sensation of total health and wellness expand throughout your body, as you stay relaxed…
Now hold both the feeling of sickness and wellness together in a relaxed way…(pause)
Shift into the space between the eyebrow centre. This is called Chidakash in yoga nidra…the space of consciousness…rest here in the dark emptiness… like the farthest corners of deep space. Sink your entire awareness into the blackness of the space and grow your mind even quieter…remember you are practicing yoga nidra…(pause)
We now prepare for rapid visualization. I will call off numerous images. You should try to develop a vision of these on all levels - feeling, emotion, awareness, imagination - as best as you can.
Jump from image to image as you hear them. Do not dwell on any particular images.
Practice non-attachment to anything that arises from the naming of the images. If you cannot keep up, do not worry - just follow the instructions. I may repeat a few images.
Some of the images may be known to you, some may be unknown. Either way, do not think too much or dwell on the images. Keep your awareness moving by following my voice.
Bright gold of the rising sun, luminous light of the full moon, green rainforest canopy, turquoise glacier lake X3, radiant pink of a sunset, bright red healthy blood, 100 purple wildflowers, ruby red statue of ganesha X3, A burning candle, Greek temple at sunrise, peacock feather, your own reflection in a mirror, a cross above a Church, white dove, a burning house, your mother's face; raging mountain stream, tibetan prayer flags blowing in the wind, thousand petaled lotus flower X3…
Now see a tube growing out of the crown of your head. This tube extends upwards...to the furthest reaches of your conscious space...and plugs into source light (pause). This light is pure, clean, and in vibrational alignment with love. Sense the tube connected and plugged in...and the light begins to flow down the secure tube right into the crown gate of your head. Feel this clean pure light filling up your body. Sense the high vibrational energy moving through your body from head to toes. See and feel the quantity of light in your cells increasing. The overall frequency of your cells is growing higher. There is so much light inside your cells...light is emanating from your body into the surrounding space…(pause) Continue to see and feel your body's amount of light growing and growing. Your body is in alignment now with love...your body is full of vitality...health...and wellness…(long pause)
Remember your Sankalpa. See and hear the words of your sankalpa in the space of chidakasha. With full awareness, faith and conviction, repeat your Sankalpa now 3 times (pause).
Gently return to your breath….your natural life giving breath…(pause)…feel the bones of your body, the sensations of the hard floor, the temperature of the room, the sound of my voice. Feel the formation of the many curves and lines of your form. Experience your relaxed body…your physical existence…whole body awareness…
The practice of yoga nidra is now complete.
Hari Om Tat Sat. Hari Om Tat Sat. Hari Om Tat Sat.
When you are ready begin to move your body and feel yourself coming back fully. In your own time you can roll over onto one side into fetal position, and rest here for a few moments. (long Pause) Use your arms to push yourself to a natural seated position, eyes closed and attention inward. Sit in the state of wellness and vibrancy that is your essence and feel a powerful alertness grow through your being.

Salazar to highlight water challenges in West
The Associated Press
Aspen, CO Colorado
BILLINGS, Mont. – Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Monday that the West's limited water supplies face growing pressure from agricultural uses, changing demographics and climate change – underscoring the need for more federal money for water projects.
Salazar spoke at a water issues forum sponsored by Montana State University-Billings, part of a two-day trip to Montana made at the request of Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Baucus.
As a Colorado native whose family has farmed arid lands for 150 years, Salazar said he understands the region's urgent need for secure water supplies.
"There is an absolutely inextricable tie between water supplies and food supplies in this country," he said. "We need to make sure we're beating our drum loudly."
He said climate change threatens to make dry areas in the West even drier – even as a rapidly expanding population and ongoing agricultural needs amplify demands for water.
The secretary also said the administration was releasing $60 million for previously announced drinking water supply projects on the Fort Peck and Rocky Boy reservations. That's a small installment on billions of dollars in pending water projects on Indian reservations and elsewhere – a price tag that in the past has far exceeded available funding.
Baucus said he and the state's other Democratic senator, Jon Tester, would use Salazar's visit to press for his agency to release more water into the Bighorn River.
The Bighorn flows into southeastern Montana out of Wyoming and has been a long-standing point of contention between the two states. Interior's Bureau of Reclamation controls releases into the river from Yellowtail Dam.
Salazar pledged to more closely examine the issue, but declined to side with Montana in the interstate fight.
Tester and Baucus said Salazar's Western roots should help him sympathize with Montana's water needs – something Baucus said wasn't the case under the Bush administration.
"Our annual precipitation in Montana is 13, 14 inches," Baucus said. "Washington D.C. is 44 inches a year. It just doesn't rain here, so we really need to protect our water."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Trisban at Carnival
by Freddie Clegg
Trisban : Culture & Customs
Trisban at Carnival
The Trisban Carnival ("Carnavali") held each year in April has its origins in the celebration of the arrival of Spring. In Trisbanian tradition, Carnavali is a celebration of change, a rejoicing in the turn around of the year from the dark and cold of winter to the on coming of the light and warmth of summer. Men represent the forces of winter, stability and order, while women represent the forces of spring and are seen as the agents of change and development. Carnavali is a time in which order is subverted in a playful way. The natural respect that Trisbanian have for order constrains the extent to which this happens but even so Carnavali is a time where "anything goes" and is one of the few occasions in the year when a woman may take the initiative in the matter of personal relationships.
Historically both men and women used to be masked in public during carnival events. Nowadays, of course, women are veiled in public at all times but men still mask for carnival.
The events surrounding Carnavali include both public and private events. Public events include open air gatherings, parades or balls sponsored by various trade guilds, and the final Grand Parade through the centre of the city and a final open air party. Private events include parties with a Carnavali theme and may range from a simple gathering of a few neighbours to the most extravagant parties hosted by the Trisbanian elite. At all of them, though, the custom has grown up for men and women to adopt a topsy-turvy approach to their participation. A well-borne woman is likely to appear in the garb of a servant, a servant in the finest robes of her employer; a captain of industry or a politician might appear as a ruffian, while the house-boy of a grand household would be dressed in his master's finery. While a Carnavali event might allow ostentatious dress, there is no guarantee that the hostess of a ball or dinner is not dressed as, or even acting as, one of the servants (indeed, it is likely!)
Playful behaviour is the norm during Carnavali. While drunkenness is frowned on at other times in Trisban, over indulgence at Carnavali events is not uncommon and is widely tolerated.
Sexual license is also a feature of Carnavali. Because of this, Carnavali events are some of the few occasions in Trisban when children would not normally be present with their parents. Traditionally husbands do not ask their wives what they have done and wives do not ask their husbands what they have done during carnival; it is sufficient that order is restored at the end of the week of Carnavali.

Ghoulish as it may sound, graveyard tourism or cemetery tourism is a growing phenomenon around the world. The final resting place of the dead sounds like an unlibely tourist attraction, but destinations around the world are beginning promote memorials, cemeteries and graveyards to attract visitors watching to trace their roots or play homage to dead hero's and villages. Most historic towns and villages have a cemetery worth exploring and many larger cities have graveyards reserved for the powerful, rich and famous fascinating and observing experience.
Graveyard cemeteries contains a wealth of fascinating and of the usual tombs, grave stones and architecture which are an importing like to local social history.

What'S Fatty Pontoon?
The super micro-agency origin story.
Fatty Lumpkin, a surf ranch, is one of my most extravagant business ideas, which I expect never come to pass. The ranch is named after one of Tom Bombadil's ponies in The Lord of the Rings. Yet Fatty Lumpkin remains copyrighted until 2087 along with other Tolkien's works.
When I needed a good name for my marketing endeavors along with the right to use it, I just took what I could with me, namely 'Fatty'. At the time, I listened to a lot of country songs featuring: blue jeans, trucks and pontoons. I'm also a big fan of Zodiacs - inflatable pontoons - which gave us tow-in surfing, and so Fatty Pontoon was born.
My affinity with otters dates back to the Eighties, and the long running Canadian TV series - Danger Bay - which features a domesticated otter. Otters are my favorite animals to visit at the zoo. Meerkats come a close second.

From now until the end of the month, submissions are open for this year's Hint Fiction contest, judged by Roxane Gay.
What is Hint Fiction?
A story of 25 words or fewer that suggests a larger, more complex story. Think of Hemingway's apocryphal six-word story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." It doesn't have a title, but those six words convey a punch. Not only that, they stand on their own. They're not the first line of a story, or a random sentence plucked from a longer story.
About the judge:
Roxane Gay is the author of the books Ayiti, An Untamed State, the New York Times bestselling Bad Feminist, the nationally bestselling Difficult Women, and the New York Times bestselling Hunger. She is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and is also the author of World of Wakanda for Marvel. Her story "The Copper Miner's Sad Sad Song" appeared in the Hint Fiction anthology; her story "I Know Things about the Girls Next Door" appeared in the special hint fiction issue of Wigleaf.
The prizes are as follows:
1st place $100, 2nd place $50, 3rd place $25.
All winners and runners up will receive signed copies of the Hint Fiction anthology.
W. W. Norton has donated copies of New Micro: Exceptionally Short Fiction, edited by James Thomas and Robert Scotellaro, to the winners and runners up as well.
There is no entry fee.
Still not sure what Hint Fiction is? It's strongly recommended you check out the anthology, which is still available in paperback. It's also available as an ebook on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iTunes, and Google Play.
Submissions are now closed. Winners will be announced at this website once chosen. Thanks to everyone who submitted!

The current generation of hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines uses substantial quantities of Rare Earth elements in the form of high-strength magnets and rechargeable batteries. The key Rare Earths used for these applications are neodymium, dysprosium and terbium (for the permanent magnets) and lanthanum (for the batteries).

Engagement Tools
The cohort of Resilient by Design projects offers innovative design concepts that respond to the challenge of a rising bay, as well as creative ways to involve community members in this work. The flexibility of the Resilient by Design process and the creativity of the design teams created a unique opportunity for education and engagement opportunities that go beyond a traditional public input process to build deeper community awareness and involvement in climate adaptation planning and design.
These tools were created to achieve two primary goals
The first goal was to raise awareness around the increasing flood risk in the Bay Area due to sea level rise, severe storms and rising groundwater. While Bay Area residents have a high level of understanding of the overall challenges of climate change, awareness about how our own communities will be affected is still emerging. The extent of flood risk we face, and the variety of tools available to mitigate these risks are not well known. Resilient by Design Teams created tools to raise awareness around the risks we face, and how nature based solutions can play a role in protecting and enhancing our communities.
The second goal was to involve local community members in the design process. Local design solutions are enhanced by the on-the-ground knowledge that community members bring, and the involvement by a broad group of stakeholders early on in a design process can create significant momentum toward next steps and implementation. Resilient by Design Teams worked with local partners to develop creative ways to catalyze innovative design concepts through community participation to set these projects up for success.
Visual Images
The Design Teams used their design expertise to create compelling visuals to educate local stakeholders - these tools are easily adaptable to any educational effort.

The story usually goes something like this:
You've been hitting the gym and eating well. You've lost a few pounds and gone down a couple of dress sizes. The mirror is no longer your sworn enemy but now a frienemy instead. You've begun to separate your closet into two distinct sides: pre-weight loss side (I will never need these again.) and post-weight loss side (These clothes would have totally fit me in High School, air five!). And most importantly, you didn't want to crawl under the couch to die alone with your Lean Cuisine while watching this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! Basically life is good.
But suddenly, all of this gets destroyed in one fell swoop. A tire blows on your road to "the perfect body" that causes you to almost give up on it all. Why? Because you walked by that food truck and got a whiff of that cheeseburger you've been wanting to destroy like it killed Mufasa. Or your boyfriend brings home that one greasy goody you've been craving since you decided to pick firm legs over fried chicken. And then you give in. You destroy that cheeseburger. You eat that fried chicken. Next thing you know you're back in that vicious cycle of eating chocolate covered potato chips while re-working your weight loss vision board to accommodate your "minor nutritional set-back".
Not all hope is lost. What I've learned in my weight loss journey is this. If you like something, eat it. But in a smart and planned way. Let's look at it like this:
Jenny goes on a diet.
Jenny cuts out her favorite food, ice-cream, because it's too high in sugar.
Jenny deprives herself of ice-cream for months on end.
Jenny walks by a Ben & Jerry's giving away free samples.
Jenny, in one sample spoonful of Chunky Monkey, realizes that what she's experiencing in her mouth is better than anything she's tasted in months, buys a carton, then DESTROYS it when she gets home.
I've lost 70 pounds since 2012 and it hasn't been easy. I've had to learn how to not give up everything I love to eat, while also not completely throwing away all of the hard work I put in at the gym. There are tons of options out there. Whether it's cutting back on portion size when you decide to take that trip to your favorite burger joint, or going with the wheat bread instead of the white. Maybe choosing frozen yogurt or low-fat ice-cream, instead of cutting out sweets altogether. It's totally possible to have your cake and eat it too. Just not the whole thing…while watching Pretty Little Liars.

Alternative Vinyasa
You probably recognise the term "vinyasa" as a popular style of yoga but it also refers to a particular pattern of action: chaturanga-to-updog-to-downdog. Your body may be down with all of these chaturangas, or it may not. Perhaps the first several chaturangas feel great, but then it goes south. Maybe the classic "vinyasa" series just doesn't feel safe right now because you have an injury. All of the above are valid sentiments in a community of ever-changing individuals.
The reality is that for some students, the repetitive action of plank-to-chaturanga-to-updog-to-downdog is not needed or appropriate. And for others, we just have days when the body shouldn't be doing the sequence or we need time to build strength. But that doesn't mean we need to avoid Vinyasa classes all together. We just need to get "slightly more clever than our habits." - Desikachar
One definition of "vinyasa" is "to place in a special or purposeful way." When we look at the classic "vinyasa" sequence, there are are a lot of benefits, including: strengthening (plank and chaturanga); neutralizing (utilizing both forward folds and backbends); rhythmic and meditative (synching movement and breath and bringing us into the moment).
If you know some alternative vinyasas, and if you stay in tune with your body, breath, and energy as you flow, you can intuit what you need in a given vinyasa or sun salutation: more strengthening (sthira)? More ease (sukha)? More meditation through movement and rhythmic breath? Pause? Then find a pose or combination of poses that embody that.
NOTE: If you're working with injury, ask your doctor what positions and/or actions (extensions, flexions, and ranges of motion) are appropriate or risky. Also, listen to your body. Even if it's considered a "safer alternative," if a pose or pose variation feels painful, don't do it.
Here are 10 alternative vinyasas we will be working with this month, but feel free to explore and be creative (speaking to both teachers and practitioners).
1. Hold Plank
Simple idea that can have profound results in terms of strengthening. Skip the chataraga and updog and just take an extra breath in plank. Energize the heels and gaze slightly forward. focus on spreading the shoulder blades and pressing into the floor. Really tone the transverse abdominal muscles and notice if the elbows want to splay or the hips dip. If needed, you could even bring your knees down here to prevent compressing the low back. But once you've cultivated the core strength to keep your lower back safe and supported, see if you can press your thighs up without sticking your bum out.
2. Strengthening for Those with Wrist Pain
If you want the strengthening component, but you need a break from being on the hands and a time out for your wrists, drop onto forearms and enjoy some time in Forearm Plank or Dolphin.
3. Chaturanga Push-up
My personal fav and the ultimate strengthening alternative. Also, it may be that transition from chaturanga-to-updog that is problematic. It's a lot on the shoulder! If chaturanga is fine and you want to keep it spicy, but skip updog transition, you can add the chaturanga push-up. You don't need to go super low with your chaturanga, and you can modify with one or both knees on the floor (keep your knees behind your hips).
4. Lower Slowly From Plank-Press to Prone Backbend
Emphasis on keeping it slow when you lower will result in a pass through of chaturanga building strength and mindfulness. Once you are on the floor you can press to cobra, low cobra, or shalabhasana. A great opportunity to add an extra breath to strengthen the back body and elongate the rhythm of vinyasa.
5. Knees-Chest-Chin
You can bypass chaturanga and head straight to cobra by passing through knees-chest-chin. From plank, shift your shoulders in front of your wrists, just as you would for a chaturanga or chaturanga pushup. From there, lower your knees to the floor (they'll be behind your hips). With your knees down, and your shoulders and chest forward, you're set up perfectly for a cobra or low cobra pose. Release the tops of your feet to the floor as you slide through to cobra. This is a well established fluid alternative to chaturanga that tends to maintain the rhythm of the classic "vinyasa."
6. Introspective Flow
Skip the chaturanga and the backbend, and get more time in forward folding shapes that encourage you to draw inward, but still enjoy the strengthening aspect of plank. From Down Dog, sink the knees towards the floor for floating anahatasana, float forward to Plank and return to Down Dog. Great for practicing axial extension of the spine as well.
7. Hang out in Down Dog
If you need a break from movement and you just want to be still, hang out in down dog! Feel free to add variation like staking a hip or twisting.
8. Cat/Cow
Keep flowing with the breath but take the effort back a notch by dropping into some cat cow.
9. Classic Vinyasa on Blocks
Just as it sounds! Blocks under the hands will take pressure out of the wrists and allow for more space. Space is a powerful idea to work with in your vinyasa flow. See how space enables clear transitions and a meditative rhythm.
10. Child's Pose
Tune in and breath. Have a moment of meditative pause to empower your practice.

How to be highly effective/
The gentler we are the more effective we become.
I've just finished teaching a weekend meditation course, or what we Brightpath Ishaya monks refer to as a First Sphere, with one of my awesome monk mates - Savitri.
The course is convened over a weekend (Friday evening from 7 till 9.30 pm; Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm) where we teach people our meditation technique – Ishayas' Ascension.
If you're into exalted experiences – sorry, this isn't a physical ascension. It is a mechanical approach to ascending beyond, or rising beyond thoughts and thinking and identification with emotion. Over the weekend we teach four techniques that allow anyone to gently disengage the chatter in their head, and instantly reveal peace.
There are no rules or regulations with this teaching, however there are a couple of approaches that make the practice light and easy. One of the most important approaches is to be supremely gentle in the observation of the movement of the mind and the introduction of the technique. All that is required is to have the intention to be supremely gentle when the technique is introduced and continue to gently observe. The rest takes care of itself – or in other words: the gentler we are, the more effortless it is to become aware of the Stillness or vast ocean of inner peace that is always there.
The cool thing is that we can take this gentle approach to everything we do in life, and within that approach we automatically reveal more peace and calmness.
So, prior to teaching the course, I had the intention of being gentler than I have ever been. As a consequence the weekend was the most easy and light weekend meditation course that I have taught. From Friday night onwards the new people learning had a light and effortless time – they allowed their introduction to Ascension be so easy.
Of course, if we are light and easy going, so too are the people around us. If we respond to life in a serious way, and take it all personally and earnestly it becomes an intense old ride, and it tends to make life for those around us a bit tense too.
The gentler we are in our approach to everything in life; the easier life becomes, and the more effective we are.
It is as if there is a direct correlation between gentleness and effectiveness.
The gentler we are, the more peaceful and light and effective life becomes.

In just a few years, we've learned to rely on our phones for everything from banking to email to watching cat videos. Most importantly, it's a safe bet your employees are using mobile devices for work-related activities as well – whether your IT department is prepared for it or not. The proliferation of internet devices makes it simply too easy for employees to check emails en route to the office or give a project that final once over from their couch at home. Smart businesses are already taking advantage of this trend, and reaping the benefits of productivity and employee satisfaction. Is yours?

How to Wear a Pocket Watch
Nothing speaks of style like a pocket watch does. If you want to be counted among the selected stylish few, then don a pocket watch today. Read on to find out how to wear a pocket watch.
Rujuta Borkar
Are you among those who are considered stylish? Is your personal style 'sigh-inducing' and leads to feelings of envy among others? Well, then how would you like to take your style quotient in fashion to an all new level? The perfect way to glam up your style instantly is to wear a pocket watch. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an archaic and quaint fashion statement, but continues to exhume a sense of charm, elegance, and unparalleled style to this day.
If you are a believer in wearing stylish wrist watches and never leave your home without wearing one, then you might want to consider including pocket watches in your wardrobe or completely switching over to them.
In the earlier times, pocket watches were worn by people who were rich. It was an indication of the amount of wealth a person had. That trend continues to this day. It takes a lot to be able to carry a pocket watch with great elan and panache and that is why, learning how to wear one in the correct manner becomes important. If not worn correctly, it can lend to a disheveled and 'out of place' look to the most elegant of clothes. In order to save yourself from that fate, learn the right way of wearing a pocket watch in the consecutive paragraphs.
Choose the Perfect Watch
- Choose a watch that complements your personal style and the latest fashion trends.
- The metal you choose becomes extremely important. Go in for a silver watch that has a silver metal chain attached to it. Sometimes, people choose a watch of one metal and the chain of another. This has a very jarring effect.
- A silver watch is the preferred choice because it goes with everything. Gold on the other hand, does not necessarily suit all styles of clothing.
Wearing a Pocket Watch with a Suit
A suit is the sheer personification of style. It can glamorize your entire appearance instantly and make you seem like a demi-god. Team your suit with a pocket watch and you'll literally have people looking over their shoulders. It can lend you that something extra and make you stand miles apart in the dull sea of suits. But, learning the correct way of wearing a pocket watch on a suit is important. Though you can't really go wrong with the combination of a pocket watch and suit, we will show you the right way of doing it.
- Choose your watch and chain carefully.
- Go in for a fob chain (a style that originated from the Victorian era) or any other chain style.
- Your watch will be attached to the end of this fob chain.
- Attach this chain by clipping it to the button hole of your vest or suit.
- When not in use, the pocket watch will be placed in the trouser pocket or the pocket of the vest (facing you).
- The only thing that should be visible is the fob chain.
- The end of the fob chain can be decorated according to your personal style. Either with a pin or a shiny bob.
- Make sure that there isn't anything in the pockets that can scratch the metal of the watch.
- Chains come in several varieties, some of these are―belt clip chains, t-bar chains, vest chains, and button hole chains.
- One can also use a belt clip chain and attach the chain to a belt, taking it over the length of the belt and placing the watch in the pocket.
Wearing a Pocket Watch With Jeans
A suit is not the only apparel that one can combine a pocket watch with. Jeans as a clothing has emerged not only as a casual form, but is also combined with certain kinds of clothing to achieve a semi-formal look. This look is the perfect choice for when one wants to look neither too casual nor too formal. That is the reason why we find people combine jeans with formal blouses or vests. It brings about a very unique style. In carrying on with the same tradition, one can add oodles to their style by donning a stylish pocket watch with their regular pair of jeans. It does not necessarily have to be a semi-formal look that one is aiming for, but could very well only be a completely casual look and the pocket watch would still match. That is the power of the pocket watch. If worn right, it can do wonders.
- The first step is to choose a good watch. These days there are several fashionable watches that are available in the market. Go in for one that will complement and add to your personal style.
- Again, keep in mind that the chain and watch are made of the same metal for that classy effect.
- Use one of the several types of chains and attach the watch to it.
- Attach the chain with a fashionable bob or pin and then to the belt or the button hole (according to your preference).
- Then place the watch either in the jeans pocket or the vest pocket.
- The watch should be placed facing the body so that when you remove it out, it faces you and you can easily handle it.
- The other option is that of the fifth pocket that is placed in the upper portion of the front pockets of your jeans. This pocket will be much smaller compared to the other pockets but makes for a perfect cover for your watch.
- One can also attach the chain to the belt and let the watch hang loose. But to do this, one has to make sure that the watch does not collide with anything else. Therefore, the chain should be very small so that it does not dangle dangerously from the sides.
Pocket Watches for Women
The pocket watch is not a style that is limited to men. A woman can team a pocket watch with her clothes just as easily. When wearing a skirt, the pocket watch chain can be added as a layer with the belt or can be used as a chain and dangled down her front as a necklace. Or in the same way as men do―with a vest or chain. Why limit yourself? Use your own ingenious ways of styling your clothes with pocket watches. Whichever style you adopt, the pocket watch is sure to add a sexy touch to the clothing.
Now that you know the different styles of how to wear a pocket watch, go out there, buy yourself one, and see your style sky rocket. You'll thank us for your sudden elevated status.

The Congressional Budget Office warns that it could cause a recession. Progressives say, step off the "fiscal cliff" and let the Bush tax cuts automatically expire, then give new tax relief to the middle class. Everybody, including the rich, would get lower rates up to $250,000 in income; above that, the rich would see rates revert to Clinton-era levels. The Bush cuts did not create jobs. They did, along with war, Medicare D and recession, blow a big hole in the deficit. Tax rates have relatively little affect on growth. So far, the House GOP is fighting to preserve the Bush cuts, even though the White House has already given major ground on spending cuts. But while the meaning of the election can be debated, one thing that's clear is that a majority voted for slightly higher rates on the rich (polls bear this out). Take heart, ye toffs, under the communist Eisenhower the top rate was above 90 percent to pay off the debt from World War II. What would you do?
