St. John's, Newfoundland
High Winds
The winds were high but warm, and coming from the
south. It was 18 degrees Celsius in the
evening when we did our session at the Shambala Centre. That is warm, for this time of year. The windows were wide open during the whole
session, and we were loving it. Sarah,
yoga instructor and Friday night coordinator, arranged it that way.
The reason for open windows was that my conducting of the
chanting and dancing heated everyone up.
It was a good sweat. Justin and
Lorna, in particular, were physically giving a heavy output. Everyone else
joyfully worked hard at the dance steps.
"You all are going to have a good sleep tonight,"
I suggested.
When I said, "You all," it meant the room full of
people. The turnout was great, thanks to
our man, Sheeshan. He comes regularly to
play the drum. The group, whom Sarah
describes as ‘loyal’, all seem to know the maha-mantra quite well. That
is so because Sheeshan regularly sings it.
Absent was our dear Miranda Squires, whom I've now known for
twenty-five years. She is an interesting woman.
She told me she grew up in a lighthouse on the coastline. A yoga instructor, herself, she was quite
busy this weekend.
Often times while dealing with yoga people, it involves
women. Yet, at our program tonight, a good number of men came out to dance and
chant with us.
Sheeshan arranged a seven course meal for everyone. The guy is stupendous.
May the Source be with you!
