MorningMysore

We were originally going to have a brunch for David Roche, but he could not make it this Sunday.

In honor of Father’s Day, Mojdeh asked me to post this:

“Hello Everyone, you are still welcome to stop by my
house after practice, this Sunday June 18 and Happy
Father’s Day.

My address is 1154 Pome Avenue, Sunnyvale,Ca 94087.

A few notes about the MorningMysore blog.

- A big thank you to Wendy for redesigning the banner (did you notice??) especially since her newborn is keeping her busy

- With more of you commenting, I added “Recent Comments” in the right column so you can check out the discussions in progress

- You do not need to be registered to comment anymore

- Publishing is also open to anyone from the community who is already registered. When you first register, you do not have permission to publish but you can let me know and I can activate that

- Feel free to publish thoughts, book and film reviews, restaurants or even yoga related things!

David Roche has a private scheduled right after class this Sunday June 18, so there will be no potluck at Mojdeh’s house that day.

Instead, the event has been renamed, rescheduled and rethought. It was not possible to reschedule the event at Mojdeh’s house, so this is the new event:

A “Goodbye Dinner” for David and Youngblood on Saturday June 24 at 4pm at the studio, with vegetarian Indian food and drinks provided by Joseph and Sabina.

Hope you can make it!

Although I may appear to be peacefully and meditatively practicing, here’s
a direct quote from the vrittis in my brain during the first 30 or so
minutes of Mysore class on Tuesday:
“What? Music? Are they really playing music? What’s going on? Is this a
joke? Did someone bring in a boom box or something? No, they’re playing it
through the speakers. What?! I come to this class for peace and quiet, and
I have to hear this? Should I stay? Yes, OK, everyone else seems to be
dealing with it. But it must be bothering them, too! Aren’t some of them
bothered by it? I HATE this music! I don’t want to hear this. It’s a
distraction. Uh, well, so are your thoughts, Connie. But I don’t want to
hear this f*$#ing Elvis Presley, or Willie Nelson, or whatever the f&$# it
is! I don’t want my consciousness hearing this. I hate oldies! I don’t
want to hear a stupid, pathetic love song while I’m doing my practice! OK,
breathe, observe the pose. Where’s your drishti… Is anyone else bothered
by this? Is this going to happen everyday? I could have stayed home and
played better music than this. Is it going on the whole class? How long???
When David comes over to adjust me, I’ll ask him to please turn it off. No,
I’ll ask him how long it’s going to be played, and then tell him I strongly
prefer not to have music. Has anyone else said anything? I wonder. OK,
are you doing your bandhas? No, pay attention. Stop thinking about it.
But I HATE this song!!! I’m going to email Philippe and tell him I won’t
come to these classes if there’s music. Yeah, as if they would miss me.
More room for someone else! Hmmm. Better focus on my practice. This music
sucks!!! Oh, now I like this song. Wah. She’s good. At least I’m hearing
a mantra. OK, breathe…”

I decided afterwards it was a good experience to see my vasanas in action -
Oh, no, I’m not reactive at all. I’m quite peaceful and centered. Keep
playing the music, David - I have some more crap to clean out in here.

Blessings,

Connie
