Yoga May Elevate Brain GABA Levels, Suggesting Possible Treatment For Depression—ScienceDaily
(May 21, 2007) — Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and McLean Hospital have found that practicing yoga may elevate brain gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) levels, the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. The findings, which appear in the May issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, suggest that the practice of yoga be explored as a possible treatment for depression and anxiety, disorders associated with low GABA levels…. ”Our findings clearly demonstrate that in experienced yoga practitioners, brain GABA levels increase after a session of yoga,” said lead author Chris Streeter, MD, an assistant professor of psychiatry and neurology at BUSM and a research associate at McLean Hospital.
winter inner leg routine
winter time is a wonderful time to work the inner leg line
winter time the time of rest and rejuventation
charging the batteries
charging the kidneys
the kidney meridian runs along the inner line
so charging the inner legs charges your life and gets you ready for the warmer times.

the bridge between yesterday and today has been crossed
the bridge between yesterday and today
has been crossed.
the journey continues
into new places and new surroundings,
yet with familiar faces.
the journey to who we are
is mapped out with experience and adventure,
positive
and not so.
each showing us just a bit more
of who we are,
who we want to be,
and
who we don’t.
i thank you for joining me here,
in this space,
as i begin to exhibit pieces of the world
i have seen,
both within
and
without.
may your journey be filled
with sparks of inspiration
that lead you to follow your own inner light,
so that together we may
illumine the world.
looking to heat up your practice
took a wonderful trip a few years back
all over mexico travelers spun fire
a wonderful display of of internal and external light
i can barely do some of the poses these peeps were spinning to!
not saying we’re ready to start throwing fire
but let’s at least light up our light
(click on photos or videos links back up top if ya want more bits of third i-nspriation)

even if life throws you into a backbend….ground yourself!
\
grounding yourself in the midst of turmoil is a useful art
doesn’t have to be full on drama
just a bit too much mental chatter
that can be our undoing
so do ya know what to do?
ground your forehead or the top of your head
which like a loose wire sending electric sparks
endangers all around to electrification!
this is a fancy grounding
feel free to be fancy
feel free to be free
get it up!
get it up
while the getting is good
spring winds and sunny days
breathe inspiration into us
if we move out of the way
get up wake up get the day dawning
sleep in during the spring
your best bet to staying behind
rising and shining
with first light’s rays
brings in the irie vibrations!

spring cleaning
joyfully includes gardening
for those of us who like to get a little dirty
we can garden like a dork
we can garden with intention

based on a comment in this morning’s class
meant to inspire a new way of weeding
