This week we began a six day Dynamic Intensive and each day a new person comes and stays on! I feel truly blessed to be able to share this amazing (if there has to be a word:) Technique. Before Prem left for Brazil we were discussing new ways to share meditation and i can sesne that committing to six days of Dynamic is a lot less intimidating that commiting to the 21 days. I just want to put out there that if you can commit to six you can also commit to twenty-one days it is just a matter of dropping the mind and its fears. I am truly in love with existence at this moment andd excited for the workshop on SUnday which will be for women to reconnect to the wild goddess within, as well as next weeks Chakra Breaathing Intensive.
After four years of doing these techniques on a daily basis, I feel the seed I planted so long ago is starting to peak its out out of the earth. In this moment I feel right on the edge, never knowing what is going to happen the next moment, exciting scaring, both and neither.
