Ok, Wow, I'm back on the grid and feeling pretty squeezed by the time lost due to the snowstorm and the ensuing chaos. And, I didn't even lose power - no hating please. No, I didn't lose power but most of the people in my study group and my clients at work did. Crazy crazy chaos for so many people.
But, I'm back and thinking pretty large due to the question of the week and my late night caffeine and cookies, Yes, cookies. I would tell you exactly which cookies I eat at Starbucks but you might cut into my supply when I desperately need a cookie or two. Sorry - again, no hating please.
If I could invent a Social Media App what would it be?
My first thought went to the work I do in the field of preventing sexual assault and providing the statewide and national crisis hot line numbers to sexual assault victims for immediate assistance.
Hum, I thought. That feels like I'm going in the right direction but.......
Yes, of course, raising awareness of services for those sexually assaulted and their loved ones is important but......
The 64,000 dollar question in this field is how to prevent sexual violence in the first place. Hum indeed.
In one of my parallel lives I am an Angelic, Kundalini, and Usui Reiki Master and Teacher and have been for more than 10 years. A large part of my work has been with trauma survivors and those that support them in their healing.
As part of this path I trained with Jennifer Reis of the Kripalu Yoga and Retreat Center in Lenox, Massachusetts - www.kripalu.org, in Yoga Nidra. From Jennifer's site: http://jenniferreisyoga.com/ " Nidra has the power to transform us at our core". Also from her site: "What a fantastic experience! The space that Jennifer creates and holds for others created a safe and amazing heart opening experience". — Meg
I know Jennifer to be sublime and completely committed to her heart's mission. Damn good yoga teacher too.
Yoga Nidra is a practice that is thousands of years old. It is a blessing to experience Yoga Nidra, a path to personal healing and enlightenment. The practice is too vast for today's blog but the book, Yoga Nidra, by Swami Satyanada Saraswati, Bihar lays an amazing foundation for a better understanding of Yoga Nidra and its multitude of benefits. Yoga Nidra is a jewel full of jewels.
My app would provide a 5, 10, 15, and 30 minute guided Yoga Nidra meditation. Imagine, when you feel stressed you touch the app and settle in for some Yoga Nidra. Your child is stressed so you touch on the Yoga Nidra app. You want to have a regular Yoga Nidra practice but your life is so busy you don't have time to find the time to even start your practice. Touch Touch Bliss Bliss
The Dali Lama has said, " without Inner Peace there can be no world Peace.
