If you are into to yoga, chances are you read Yoga Journal. I just found out about their new project, web TV and “Ogden the inappropriate yogi.” http://www.yogajournal.com/ogden

Weather you love or hate Ogden he’s sure to get a response from you. He reminds us to lighten up and to bring a sense of humor to our yoga practice. After watching this short video I decided to make some jewelry to lighten and brighten my mood. I chose a butterfly pendant as center pieces, sprinkled in some pastel color pearls, purple glass beads and some Amethyst. AND I am offering it on sale on the web site. Ah I feel lighter already.

He founded the Sakya Institute in Cambridge, MA. www.lamamigmar.com.

 Lama Migmar is visiting here in Key West FL, giving talks to help “Free Your Mind” from stress, and emotional patterns that cause confusion in our lives. He presented an overview of basic techniques found in the wisdom traditions of Tibetan Buddhism for achieving tranquility and insight, cultivation of positive emotions and achieving a state of awakening.
