‘Twas the Night Before Christmas Yoga poem

December 9, 2015 by Julie Lusk

 

 

‘Twas the time before Christmas, and in the yoga place,  
not a muscle was moving, it was filled with grace.
The mats were lined up, on the floor with care,
in hopes that sweet relaxation would soon be there.

The students relaxed, all snug on their mats,
while life hurried on by, like crazy cats.
Everybody began moving, this way and that.

“Now Tadasana! Now Chandrasana! Virabhdrasana & Bridge!
On Cobra! On Bow! On Locust and Fish!
To the top of your head! And the bottom of your heart!
Now breathe away! Breathe away!
And please don’t fart!”

When up in my brain there arose such a clatter,
I fell out of my posture, to worsen the matter,
When what to my wandering mind should appear,
but a big plate of chocolate, and a six-pack of cheer!

Superbrain Yoga

November 2, 2015 by Julie Lusk

Superbrain Yoga® is great for anyone interested in improving mental energy, concentration, memory, and enjoying a mind that’s sharp and clear.  It’s helpful for all students, adults who want to be at the top of their game, and seniors.  A bonus is that it strengthens your legs too.  BTW, this really has been practiced in India for ages and goes by the Sanskrit name of Thoppukaranam.

Superbrain Yoga® is a simple and effective technique to energize and recharge the brain. It is based on the principles of subtle energy and ear acupuncture. This powerful technique is explained in Master Choa Kok Sui’s latest book Superbrain Yoga®.  According to Master Choa Kok Sui these teachings are very ancient and have been practiced in India for many centuries.

A great way to practice is to put on some fun music that lasts 3 minutes.  One of my favorites is “Good Rain” by Trevor Hall.  Tell us what songs you like in the comments.

Watch this 4 minute video to learn who it helps, how it’s done, and get results!

Pilot studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga® on school children include children with disabilities such as ADHD/ADD, developmental and cognitive delays, Down syndrome and specific learning disabilities. Children studied showed significant increase in academic and behavioral performance, greater class participation and improved social skills. In one study, the result of an electroencephalograph showed increased amplitude in the parieto-occipital region of the brain following the Superbrain Yoga®. This indicates increased brain electrical activity following the exercise. More studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga® are being conducted.

These kids do a great job giving you Superbrain Yoga instructions in this 2-minute video.

Miracle of Music and Mindfulness

August 27, 2015 by Julie Lusk

You’ve got to listen to Full Circle by Eugene Friesen (cello) and Paul Halley (piano). It’s amazing and I can’t get it out of my head.  What’s amazing about it is that these two men had never ever played a duet with one another before.  The music was not rehearsed and totally improvised on the spot. It’s joyful, imaginative, and so much more.  

Each of us have our own unique gifts to share.  Their’s is music.  Yours might be gardening, art, cooking, child-rearing, or any number of things.   This is a fine example of what happens when time is taken to hone one’s skills and to be present in the moment so magic can happen.

Please tell your story of a time when you were in the ‘zone.’
