It seems like it was just a few days ago when I sent out an email that I wasn't ready to put anything new out as far as classes go. Then yesterday, my dear friend, Sarah, sent me an email to sign her up for my new class. Since I hadn't put anything out there recently about a class, this was mystifying. I did think it was interesting that the day before I had reached out to my "Vedic teacher"--the person I am taking the correspondence course with--asking for advice on how to proceed with my learning. I received an email back from his assistant that was informative but not very inviting in. What I got intuitively was that I was pretty free to do as I pleased. I am almost complete with the course and the next steps are mine to choose. I do plan on getting my Jyotisha certification, but I am not going to let a document define me. That will happen when it happens.
Then this morning, I went on line to look at my schedule, and instead of seeing my schedule, the window popped up for me to "create a new workshop". Not sure how I got there, but I know how to take a hint. Workshop is now created. I know that through teaching Jyotisha (the study of light--the sanskrit work for Vedic astrology), I will learn and grow faster than through any other way. There are two classes that I put out--one that is an Astrology for Yourself group. I have been leading classes like these for years. I love these groups--and being part of--and getting to witness our lives as they transform. The other is the Jyotisha class. Before teaching an ongoing class, I will be leading a day long workshop as an introduction. The workshop is available whether you want to take the ongoing class or not, but it is designed for those who are considering taking a year long study. Feel free to email me with questions about either. Love and light, Rosie

Lately this has been my word. Having three planets, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter, in Aries if you are doing western or just two, Mercury and Jupiter, in Jyotisha, patience isn't my forte. Once life gets really good, as it is right now, I often find myself with the strong desire to leap into the next thing, create the next class, the next project, the next event, the next relationship. I have often invoked patience as kind of a dirty word, a word to drag around with me to slow me down. Like patience as punishment. For some reason, at this moment, I am finding patience as pleasure. The feeling that I don't need to do or be better than I am right now. Nothing needs to change. Life will take care of all the change I really need.
Earlier this year, I put out an advertisement for a new class, but in my current place am finding that I'm not ready to start anything new. I need to sink into the changes that have occurred and wait on the Tao, as they say. My Vedic work is deepening. I have completed 6 series of an 8 series correspondence course with Dennis Flaherty. He is a brilliant teacher. I never thought I would enjoy a CD course--but his quick pace and story telling keeps it very interesting. I am only at the alphabet in learning Sanskrit, but I am finding how profound it is to learn the letters and correct pronunciation of this ancient and sacred language. The CD course I am doing is with Vyass Houston, a master in the language who I met at Kripalu. My brother, Ray, and I are still working on our "history" book together. Charting the course of Pluto through history in our own unique way. I have put aside the Sacred Geometry and Astrology book--for now--to complete the Cycles book and hopefully get that done in the next few months. It would be lovely to complete something. I know all of my studying and writing is going somewhere--and since I love to share what I learn and sit in groups, I think it's likely that is coming. I know that I will know when it's time. |
