Solitude .................

“Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.” – Jim Carrey

I attended " N.I.B. " National Institute of Broadcasting with Jim Carrey back in the early 80's. He is also a Burlington boy , where I lived and raised my kids. He may be best known for his comedy and ability to contort his face in weird ways , but he really is a pretty serious dude most of the time.

" Some people feel like they don't deserve love, they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past "

John Krakauer

Into the wild

Thats the quote I relate to best

Franz are you an isolationist ?

Franz are you an isolationist ?

I used to consider myself an extreme extrovert. Kept in touch with old friends , played golf with , poker games etc. After the accident , while I was laying in a German, and eventually Canadian Hospital , life changed a lot. I still have buddies who show up to hang at my place for a BBQ , beer and a swim , but its nowhere like it used to be. I'm back under the knife tomorrow at noon , and God willing , home again in a couple days. My limited mobility has been a major drawback for a social life. I used to be extremely active with Soccer , Golf , and sports in general. Most of my social life evolved around good friends from those activities , now its mostly family.
Don't get me wrong , I am blessed to be given a 2nd chance at life, especially when I see how others have fared with Spinal Cord injuries. I went from bed ridden, to wheelchair , to Walker and now capable of walking.

Its mostly a matter of " Out of sight , Out of Mind "

Amen!!!

I super love this message, JJ.

 

[BobbyFK]

Sometimes I tend to agree JJ. Every once in awhile it's just nice to be alone and by yourself. Able to do your own thing and not have to worry about anybody except you

i love this and it gives me energy
the practice of subtle and expansive tantric joy. We will use breathwork, mantra chanting, meditation, visualization, chakra clearing and interpersonal connection to touch into the experience of our personal divinity.


This is an experiential journey into the heart of authentic Indian tantra. We are privileged to be able to benefit from some of the teachings and wisdom that Tasneem has gleaned from her years of tantric studies. She will guide this two-day event from her home in India.

 

[carolinakid]

Saturday's session​

• Individual practices to clear away blockages to connect to universal, expansive consciousness.
• Breathwork using the four directions and creating an internal vacuum and dissolving our association of the small self with the breath itself.

Sunday's session​

• The circle is the teacher - tuning into the greater collective.
• Tasneem will guide us, through tantric practices, to connect with the orgasmic energy of cosmic expansion.
• Setting the field to manifest our intentions.
