Buying a harmonium is an essential step if you want to create and maintain a home practice. Here are some suggestions for locating and finding the instrument that is the best fit for you.

How often do we let ourselves express without allowing the voice of the inner critic to get in the way? This can be especially true when it comes to singing our own song. While in Mexico working on a theater project I had the opportunity to interface with some local artists and enter into their world of improvisation.

At one point the full-to-capacity room was resounding with music and voices chanting “Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna Hare Hare, Hare Ram, Hare Ram, Ram Ram Hare Hare!" It was so big and full and Iooking around it happened... I felt it! In the middle of it all, a little taste of the silence within!

thank you bhaktifest for bringing us all together again and reminding us we are not alone.

this was the desert. this raw crazy un-tamed energy. this, the reality of the night, here and now in this place. and as i was beaten about, sitting on the diving board of the pool, my hair whipping this way and that. i recieved the winds message to me, let go… let go… let go…

the real presence of people living communally around me and moving through the days had a strong effect on me as did the nature surrounding us, the clear air and water. while i at first struggled, i soon felt myself coming into the clarity of my center and all the while i was accompanied and held in presence with these friends. what a blessing and a gift.

Just back from beautiful Boulder Colorado when I attended the Hanuman Festival... amazing days of singing and practicing and meeting yogis and teachers from the area and all over who came together to celebrate the beautiful monkey with it's heart wide open...

step into fear. allow the feelings & experience. love yourself and one another. step again. repeat.

how important are our environment and relationships to our practice?
