4th day at the third mod

working with the chakras and the central channel on the mid-point day.

early morning pranayama and meditation set us up for 7 hours of chakra yoga. foolish me wasn't counting on how tough it can be to crack those first three chakras. whoa! todd put us through the paces. steve gorn was here tho', playing classical indian ragas on his many bamboo flutes, as well as his fifth grade clarinet! like a serpentine river, sinuously twisting and turning, he carried us through all the hard work. and the savasanas! whoa again! no break thoughs for this kiddo, but what would you expect? i've got the og bullet-proof ego. never say uncle, that's my motto. at any rate, it was great to see how the classical hatha yoga progression from surya namaskars and standing poses to sirsana not only makes sense in terms of progressively opening up the body but also progressively opens up the chakras. anyway, my camera went on the blink after i took a pixie of kim up front for her little birthday celebration (with "a very sattvic cake" of a six inch tall column candle surrounded by 7 or 8 votive candles), and refused to focus for the rest of the day...maybe it just needs a good nights sleep. as do i. tomorrow is a full day of douglas brooks and 7 hours of listening is sure to test my stamina!
