HINDIUSM:    om- totality of the universe. carl sagan cosmos. befriend all. infinite.

JUDAISM: wisdom-- King Solomon.  Ecclesiastes "The more you do for security, the more you are ___(can't read my notes).  The more you do for control, the less you do for joy.

ISLAM:  The Night Journey-- Mohammed as Highest-- embrace all religious teachers of past (including Christ). Mystics-- Hafiz-- Koran by memory.

"micro-action"-- "make the world suck less"

sex industry-- 30 billion dollar industry

sex trade is the 3rd illegal industry after arms and drugs

30-40 billion slaves
80% in sex trade
18% in labor

It costs $109 to free a slave in Sudan

Don't just 'feel', but also 'do'.

warriors, passivists, protestors, bystanders, veterans, conscious objectors...

Thai Massage, Alexander Technique, and Bob Goff presentation from May 2015

Presented at Laura's May Yoga Retreat at Song of the Morning Retreat Center in Vanderbilt (I think?)

Alexander Technique
Eli noire ?

'float across floor"  not locking joints, be supple. head/spine relationship. sitting in chair-- efficient in getting up, using root of floor to get up rather than thrusting neck, etc. Doing dishes: use lets more than back. Lengthen up, THEN reach. Enjoy the process. :)

For me specifically....  She cued me to have string attaching head to sky-- stand taller and keep a slight bend in knees :)

Thai Massage workshop by Michael McCarthy.... awesome! Full body... walking on feet, butt, active stretching.  Given on floor.  Feet to head. Works out energy lines.



Bob Goff-- Love Does--  wonderful, whimsical story :)

"Be not Afraid"-- aim for humble. "People will feel like they met heaven". Quit something every Thursday. Charge $500 a word, think before you speak. :)
