Calling Your Spirit Back

August 8, 2020 by Julie Lusk

Instructions: Hatha Yoga, Mindfulness & More on ZOOM

Success – You are enrolled in Hatha Yoga (Zoom)

 

♥  Welcome! Click here for the Zoom link needed to start class. This link is for you alone – please invite friends to register for themselves.

♥  The class link above will be emailed to you about 45 minutes prior to class time so it’s on top of the email heap. Look in your spam or promotions folder if you don’t see it.

♥  Use this Zoom Tutorial to get up to speed. If needed, download Zoom your app store now. It’s free & easy. The app has more features than using your browser to open the link.

♥ Please sign in by 6:45 pm if you are new to Zoom.  We will go over a few things like turning off & on audio, video, speaker & gallery view, etc. Here is a Tutorial on using Zoom

♥ Class starts at 7 pm on Tuesday. “Doors” close at 7:07 for security purposes. You will not be able to join if you’re late. You will still get the video after class. Each class recording is available for streaming and is valid for personal, non-commercial use for 14 days after the session happens.

♥ Use this link for yoga info and sequences.

♥ Zoom Etiquette

Before Class

  • Find a good place at home for your device (good Wi-Fi connection, etc.).
  • Charge up the batteries on your device.  Plug it in if possible.
  • Get your mat and yoga props ready.
  • Cut down on distractions by closing the door, etc.
  • Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and say hello, just like a regular class. For security purposes, “Doors” close 5-10 minutes after start time and you will not be able to join in.

During Class

  • Use “Gallery” view if you want to see the others in class who have their ‘video’ turned on. This adds to the community feel. Once class starts, use ‘speaker’ view which just shows my screen. More about this at class.
  • Security measures are in place to keep us safe.

After class

  • Watch for an email with a link to watch class again. The link is valid until the next class meets.
  • Use this link to register for more classes.  It goes to a page to register and pay with either PayPal or a credit card.

Fine Print / Agreement: Sorry, no refunds for missed classes. You will get a recording of the yoga practice (not the discussion) by email within 48 hours after class for streaming for your personal and non-commercial use only that is valid for 14 days. Stuff can happen since this is “live,” (like the Zoom (or similar) connection or audio connection/audio is bad, weather interruptions, etc.). You will be notified by email, if possible and ASAP, if a class you’re scheduled for is canceled or rescheduled.  Julie Lusk cannot be responsible for any risks whatsoever for your class participation. By enrolling and attending class, I voluntarily agree to these policies. It is understood that policies and procedures periodically change and it is the participants responsibility stay up-to-date and will abide and agree whatever is currently in place.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

General Consent / Waiver: I understand and voluntarily agree that it is my responsibility to determine and hereby certify there is no medical reason to prevent my participation in a hatha yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, or classes that focus on specific topics. I agree to take full responsibility for my health and well-being in class and will not exceed my limits. I understand that yoga involves sitting, standing, kneeling, inversions, twists, supine and prone positions, breathing ratios and patterns, and combinations of such. Information given is for information only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure anyone or anything. I do hereby indemnify Julie Lusk and Wholesome Resources from all responsibility for injury of any sort and/or loss of property to others or myself at any time, and from claims, losses or expenses which may arise out of or as a result of my participation in this class, whether it is in person, online, or a recording.  I understand that since online classes are conducted live on Zoom, weird things can happen (i.e. security issues, internet problems, recording mishaps, etc.), and agree not to hold Julie Lusk / Wholesome Resources responsible.  I agree to keep personal information shared by others confidential. I agree that it is acceptable to get periodic announcements via mail, internet, etc. I give permission to be photographed/videoed/ and otherwise recorded, which can be used, free of charge, in advertising, website, social media, audio/video recordings, etc. Sorry, no refunds.

Good luck and see you soon!

Follow your heart’s desire! ~~ Really?

February 13, 2013 by Julie Lusk

Follow your heart’s desire! ~~ Really?

Here is what Alan Watts has to say about following your heart’s desire in this 3 minute video.  From my own experience, he’s right.  He advises against living a miserable life chasing money, doing what’s not fulfilling you and going after “what makes you itch.”

 

Does his message sound unrealistic?  Unworkable for your life circumstances?  Too good to be true?  It’s not.

This is my story.  A little over 10 years ago, I was managing a multimillion dollar budget while driving 300 miles weekly chasing mostly useless meetings.  Tomorrow, I am flying to Sivananda in the Bahamas  for a 10-day paid trip to teach yoga, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery ~~ my heart’s desire.  And I’m going back there May 23-26, 2013.

Yes, it’s true, but it wasn’t necessarily on purpose.  Life had a way of closing other doors on me (and it wasn’t pretty) until I was pointed directly toward following my heart’s desire.

What appeared to be a dream job … [Read more…]

What is Golden Repair Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi

August 8, 2018 by Julie Lusk

What is Golden Repair Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi      

These Japanese Words mean Golden Repair

Kintsugi (金継ぎ) or Kintsukuroi (金繕い) 

“Kin” is translated as Golden

“tsugi” means Repair

Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi prizes imperfection. It is the art of restoring broken pottery with gold so the fractures are literally illuminated, capturing a kind of physical expression of its spirit.

“As a philosophy, kintsukuroi, celebrates imperfections as an integral part of the story, not something to be disguised.  The true life of an object (or a person) begins the moment it breaks and reveals.that it is vulnerable,” says Georgia Pelligrini.

This technique suggests many things. Maybe we should think twice before throwing away broken objects.  Perhaps, we should try to repair things rather than assume it is no longer useful. It may sometimes become a more valuable object.

This is the essence of resilience. Each of us can look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive way, learn from negative experiences to take the best from them and convince ourselves that every experience makes each person unique and even more precious.

Pictured are a few golden repairs that I have done.  Doing kintsugi gave me welcome relief when a few things that held sentimental value to me were better than before.

Inspired by Georgia Pelligrini, Steffano Carnazzi, Leggi L’Articolo, and Beth Owens

Here’s a little more background on Kintsugi with
instructions on how to make your own ceramic golden repairs 
 

 

Many thanks to Imaginative Crafts, Do-It-Yourself Projects and Video Tutorials by Robert Mahar, robert-mahar.com

Materials:
Broken pottery
Clear two-part epoxy
Mica Powder

Directions:
1. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, dispense a small amount of the clear two-part epoxy into a disposable tray.

2. Scoop a small amount of the mica powder onto the epoxy and stir thoroughly to combine.

3. Using a toothpick or sandwich pick, generously spread the epoxy along one edge of the broken pottery seam.

4. Align the two pieces of pottery and press together. Hold in place until the epoxy sets. Allow epoxy to fully cure before using.
