Back from Phowa and worshops...

Dear Friends,
The phowa retreat with our friend, Lama Ole, was quite wonderful. Melanie and I were especially happy as all 3 of our children learned the practice.

Now, over the next few weeks, we have 3 workshops to give. Starting on Monday, the 7th, we teach Tibetan Shirodhara. Then, over the weekend I do a Nine Star Ki Astrology class. Then the following weekend, on Saturday, the 19th, I shall be doing a class on conscious dying.

If you are in or around the central coast of CA and can join us, let us know. Best to call at 805-543-9291.

Yours,
Robert and Melanie

Dear Friends,

I just want to tell you that there is a new equipment for Shirodhara, very easy to use, portable, that can run on water or oil (two models) which you can easily install anywhere. It automatically controls time and temperature.

Try it, it’s worth the expericence.

To know all about it, visit:

Dear John,
Thanks for the link. I went to look at the equipment. My basic impression is that it ignores several aspects of the shirodhara experience at the subtle level. Thus, although I have no doubt that it is relaxing, it is more like running your head under the tap of a bathtub. This is NOT shirodhara, nor can it ever replace the benefits of the metals, the warmed oil, and the depth to which real shirodhara can be taken.

Yours,
Robert
