The Green Yogini

Welcome to my new, uh, well, very first blog!!

I have been dreaming about writing Green Yogini for a while now. I needed to find the right person to redo my website and set me up. Now that the infrastructure is in place, I can rant and rave...so here we go.

I invite you to add your commentary: agree, disagree, debate, discuss. Please be civil, so that we can create, participate and forward a meaningful conversation with respect and love for one another that is truly worthy of our time.

Why The Green Yogini?

Many of you may not know that I went to culinary art school for my college years, and that I ran a whole food catering business here in the valley (Valley Natural Foodservice) for over 10 years. In that phase, I taught whole foods cooking classes, catered parties & weddings, and prepared macrobiotic meals for people with cancer and other illnesses, as a part of their healing protocol.

It would be fair to state "Lynne loves to cook" especially for my friends and family, as much as I love to eat!

Whatever act of God or Grace became my good karma, I had the sense to stop eating the SAD (standard american diet) when I was fourteen. Since then, I have spent my entire life keeping as far away from doctors, drugs and the western medical system as I possibly can. I've committed to a path of natural health and healing for close to 30 years. I stay pretty darn healthy without any MEDS. Not even one aspirin has passed my lips in over 30 years. A HUGE part of my journey has been to take personal responsibility for my own health and wellbeing, instead of turning that over to someone else, anyone else. So whatever I do, I have mostly myself to blame or praise. Ha!

I will share much more on just how I manage my health in future blogs.

This new blog is a bit of a 'coming out' party. Not is a GBLT manner. I'm Parvati all the way and I like my Shiva. GYB- green yogini blog- is a way to share my many years of practical knowledge about a life built around yoga, healing whole foods, cooking and nature. With Double Aries Rising in my chart, I won't be able to be anything but direct, matter of fact, inquisitive, abrasive at times, with a give-me-what-works-and ditch-the-rest kind of attitude. My earth boar will bring out a lighter, gentler side: humorous, sincere, honest, desiring to serve humanity, as best as I can, in my own corner of the world.

My biggest intention is to inform you, challenge you, help you, connect you, direct you, prod you, commend you. To offer whatever I can to help you wake up to the immense beauty, that is your life.

I hope our conversations will help to create a local community of awakened people who raise Planetary Conscious for all beings by growing and living more, not less, consciously each day.

Can this be accomplished?

Of course! In tantric yogic terms, the notion that something is impossible is simply another possibility - one that has not occurred...YET.

From of my practice of hatha yoga, I have an understanding of the subtle energies of the human body. I have seen the chakras in meditation, so I know they are real. I have accessed out-of-body experiences and seen the golden cord that connects my soul to its body.

I make an effort to connect each and every to: Spirit/God/Goddess/Nature/Source/Buddha/Allah/Jehovah/MohamedOneness/Deity/Bliss/Love/Light, as a way to access the highest intuitive wisdom and allow it to guide me.

DO YOU?
If so, I'd love to hear what methods you find instrumental in staying happy, healthy, sane in this crazy assed modern world.

If not, then this is your big chance to help change the world.

Namaste.
