I need to get more zealous about a daily hatha practice...these days I'm mostly only doing it the three days of the class, and that's not good enough. I am being consistent so far about daily meditation and pranayama though.
I always say I'm "in exile" in central Arkansas. I came here originally from Hawaii because of a relationship in 1997, living here parttime (and parttime in northern Ecuador) until 2008. I'm 76 now and don't want to work any longer in order to be able to move to where my closest friends are (either San Francisco Bay Area or Hawaii), both of which have ridiculously high standards of living.
I'm trying to "bloom where I'm planted" here. I've completed a BA in Spanish literature at the local university, I participate in the sangha of teacher Anam Thubten at Ecumenical Buddhist Society in Little Rock (although my root teacher is Swami Satchidananda), and I have a small group of like-minded friends.
Thanks for the encouragement in my hatha practice! To be continued.... 1075 days ago
