- I was born and raised in India as a sixth generation missionary's kid. (Don't give up.) How I came into the world involves all the drama Bollywood is well known for. What sounds like a tragic story is still the ground of meaning for my life. Hope is born in such strange ways. A year before I was born my dad was having an affair with a pretty blond missionary in another village, about a hundred Kilometers away. He had to get rid of my mom, so he pushed her over a cliff in Mussoorie, North India and went down to smash her head with a rock. He left her for dead. She was miraculously rescued and put into a body caste for at least a month. When the body caste came off, they had sex in a crazy fit of reconciliation and I was conceived. Today I am ok with shame and guilt, but I have learned that Blame is always excessive and yet the root of The Human Condition - an exciting story that ends and ends in our time! I am the guy who knows where there is blame there is need for forgiveness and a story in which meaning might be found. This blog is my way of expressing gratitude for being plugged into this dream to play a role.
I was amazed to learn how the hands are integrated with the image of the feet. I also learned a simply breathing technique for just any kind of in and out. While breathing in, lift the pinky fingers so they spin up and in. While breathing out direct the breath through the index finger and open the palms. And then, while breathing in press the hips forward and while breathing out draw the hips back. After a while you understand that the breath can be developed like a muscle along these "real" lines, strings, of energy. Breath is energy, after all.
