Bananas, Cannoli, & Joy on a Bambike

Trying to be a blogger, yoga teach, mamma, and regular person is absolute bananas. Ba noo noos! I intend to feed the public sophisticated maturity and mind scintillating  truth, but so much of my non statutory holiday day was spent in an insane amount of supercalifragilistic #felixtallulah-looney childsplay that it’s hard to change channels. A mind ef to dream of finding the time to meditate nevermind cracking that evil scorpion. Clock rings 9:54pm. Babe only JUST down. I’m gonna tell you right now...A.) this fresh milk ain’t gonna come daily. B.) tonights banter will have to pass for silk spoken word. Creamy nevertheless. Organic grass fed GF cream, whaat?

Bananas.
Since opening the can of blog-o-worms, I have been noting a distinct resonant shift. Then mindfulness kicks in and whispers...shacklssss! We have to laugh at ourselves in the sense we just love to dig holes. Of course here’s hoping one would actually discover that the rabbit hole was in fact the rainbow and with so much faith we could retrieve the golden apple...or what. The invisible jet? Book of answers? What does it for you? For real. It’s a question to ask. What would one wish to find at the source of the vortex? “Love & Light”? Does that phrase not make you cringe?

As a woman about to leap her forty first lap round the sun, I’m sensing this ever seamless conversation more clearly. I'm more interested in having this conversation with the www.

Maybe sometime down the line I’ll feel this gesture was an egotistical ploy to feel more connected to the outer realm. Nevertheless, it’s so working. Thank you for all the LOVING feedback. I’m all inspired smiles. This is great fun. Calling upon all my so called yoga teacher friends. How do YOU tell the truth?

Is it me? Why is it that the word “map”, or “mapping”, or “mind map” been surfacing quite obsessively lately? TBC. (oh yes i did just link that)


Cannoli
For the divine ladies that attended my orientation class on Embodied Flow at YBB, know that we have merely scratched the surface together. Consider our first session a sole blessing for the sake of Mel's grand opening. We shall continue to dissect the heart through asana and play. Heart to heart on cannoli's and pancakes. 
 

Ima catch the zzz's soon, but wanted to leave you with Joy on a Bambike. I said yes to coffee at Classified with Robot Heart Joy knowing the liability for adventure factor was pretty high. Once deep into my cup, Joy spoke of her historical pages weaving its way into the present like a ...present. Enter, Karta on his Bambike joyride debut. We caught first glimpse of his latest creation. Paint possibly wet n all. It was not till after I arrived back home did I realize that i not only knew Karta from a past life, but do recall falling asleep on his houseboat -not in his bed- once upon a blue moon. Too beyond his youth to be an indigo child...but let's call him an amber prodigy in his quest for bamboo consciousness. Clad from hairdo to bike pedal in his own bamboo creations-yes, the fashions too! Work! ( I didn't want to say toe coz I know he was facing the amputation of his leg back in 06? Was it?)  Don't hate if I dare say global nomad at his finest. This being is SHIFTING consciousness. Clock strikes 11:53, I'll leave you to Karta's own words in an interview circa 2013. Catch Karta's bamboo threads in the upcoming Chai Wan Mei Village Event Hosted by Tangram & Spottly. More on Joy to come.

"On the dark and troubled sea,
You gave me the light,
And now I'm sailing so fast and free,
Leaving stormy skies behind me!

Bang to the beat of the Bam Bam

Three short weeks ago, Melanie and I were lingering on our mats after a divine session with Joakim. This girl was glowing when she spoke of her dream to open up a space. DO IT! Do it. Melanie, you go! Mel sort of giggled under her breath, "I am.". She happen to be secretly picking up the keys to Bam Bam, and I was the first person she didn't want to tell...just yet.

You see, Hong Kong deserves more organic corners of free space. When I say that, I refer to a vibrancy in community where lines are blurred and we are left liberated to our senses. Bam Bam did it today with full representation of our kind kula. All teachers taught 30 minute orientation classes ranging from aerial arts to yoga, children to, well...big children. I took a class with the ever hilarious Victor Chau who had me wheel barreling like a donkey all over the floor. Hmm...you had to be there. Photo sure to follow. Yikes.

Reactions were consistent with awe and laughter. True family style.

"When we breathe into and out of the remembrance of our hearts together, together we can up level the electromagnetic frequency that can create a shift." -Tara Judelle

This is the most potent and crucial aspect in creating a space. I do believe Yoga Bam Bam has made it clear that they are all heart. We blessed the school in today's Embodied Flow class by directing attention to our hearts and how it birthed us into existence. Anatomical lyric to the beat of a baby's heart, we sensed the organs that support our center realm of feeling and expanded from that place. We shall delve deeper into the heart later this week.

For mind blowing heart realization watch this, and please do comment on this post if you were just as floored as i was. FYI, Tara Judelle showed that vid to us mid class one day as we were practice "labbing" to the double helix...as one does.

My soundtrack of the day :

from "Higher Love" Lyrics :
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Did you know?

Welcome to the pages of a new found meeting place I call Soultrains. Here dwells my hot off the press BLOG, public teaching/special events CALENDER, and CONTACT details for private  individual or group classes. Please sign up to my mailing list for future news and info.

YO! My name is May aka Snapboompow, Ahhmay, Maya, Marjorie, Maymentum, Maybackmusik, Aunt Jahmaymay, Maybe, Mayhem. What are your names? :)

All things have a beginning.
But where does the story really begin?
How do we know what we know?

Like anything being born, there is an element of excitement but also a great sense of vulnerability. Bear with me as I calibrate to the etiquette of the grand blog-o-sphere. Exposing my story is something I've endeavored internally for quite some time but needed to do so when the timing was right. Sort of like how our thoughts run faster than our mouth can birth the appropriate words, consider my blog entries more like infinite strands webbing inquiry and answer. I have finally made a move to share openly the soundbites, ideas, inspiration, and moreover the curiosities stemming from my heart. The intention driving sincerity behind my words is the idea that my daughter should grow up and read these pages one day. I wish for her to know her connection to this body, this existence, this complex world of varying perspectives. I wish for her to have a broad perspective on where she came from. In doing so, I hope that Soultrains makes YOU feel something beautiful on the inside.

Like this video made me weep with realization : "Did you know how you were born?"

Let's connect, converse, collaborate, digest, express, then let it all go.

In Love,
May
