Bathing in Grace ~ ECSTATIC BREATHWORK in West Hollywood, Wed 12/8 7:30-9pm

 BATHING IN THE WATERS OF GRACE

The completion of another year is upon us.  How you end one thing determines the energy you bring into, and how you begin the next.  Will you choose to complete 2010 and begin 2011 consciously?  This Wednesday night, through the power of Awareness and the tool of Ecstatic Breathwork, we’ll take a deep bath in the waters of GRACE, cleansing, letting go, releasing the past, and opening every nook and cranny of the body, emotions, mind, and Spirit to the Awakening of Grace.

Breath Deep. Heart Awake. Body Soft. Attention Clear.

Join Us.

These workshops are for all levels of experience and are nothing less than a tool for setting yourself free.  We’ll use a simple yet powerful breathing meditation as the linchpin for the work.  I call it ECSTATIC BREATHWORK.

These ECSTATIC BREATHWORKSHOPS are nothing less than a journey deeper into the experience and expression of who and what you are, a journey into the Heart of Freedom within.  Through a simple and powerful breathing meditation, you gain and deepen the tools for seeing past your former limitations, gain muscle for being your own best ally, teacher, and healer, and deeply taste a place free of insecurity, full of self-love.

LOVE,
SCOTT

30 Days + of Gratitude ~ Day 5

1. I am grateful for Shri Surya, the Sun!  After several days of much needed rain here in LA, the Sun was out this morning.  Every morning I do about an hour or so of practices, and today, got to do them in the Sun once again.  Wow!  What an enormous unstoppable force of Grace that gives unconditionally to everything.  
2. I am grateful for the previous days of clouds that magnified the depth of my appreciation and gratitude for today's Sunshine.
3. I am grateful for my morning practices, consisting of chanting, breath, meditation, and writing and my dedication to them.  Chanting the ancient stanzas of the Guru Gita (a profound conversation between Shiva and his wife Parvati (or Shakti) about the True nature of the Teacher/Student relationship...exposing through direct experience, the Teacher within) clears my head, my body, my throat, and energizes my capacity for Awareness-in-action.
4. I am grateful that I like and love myself.  This was hard-won, and a commodity that cannot be priced and brings appreciation and value to everything I engage with.  I'm not always present to it consciously (hence my practices for remembering), but it's always there when I look within to see.
5. I am grateful for my Macbook Pro and the Internet.  The list of gifts from both these items to me is nearly endless ~ research, writing, connecting with amazing beings all over the planet.
