A solid message from Barbara Marciniak, with some beautiful imagery. What stood out for me was the reference to the importance of the nervous system for our spiritual development and understanding. Coincidentally, this is something I have been thinking about recently, and wondering why more people don't talk about it. In fact, I am going to go our on a limb here and say much of what is absent from the majority of channeled messages and enlightened discourses is talk of how the body and the subtle systems of the spine and the breath are crucial to spiritual health. Many of us suffer from a disconnect, we are out of our body and don't even know it. It is very much in the Yogic tradition to work on refining the subtle body via the physical, which again is not something understood by the majority. (Much of what passes for yoga is in large part a watered down or distorted version of Hatha Yoga, with too much emphasis on the "look" one achieves from the practice. This is especially true in New York, where, like the gym, yoga class has become the place to go to "see and be seen".) I am excited about this video because it reminded me that I want to start reading her work. I attempted that about 8 months ago and never followed through. I like what I read about her and her husband's work, but that's as far as I got. In any case, I will have to come back to this topic of Hatha Yoga and perhaps do a piece on Patanjali Yoga Sutras. -S.C.-
