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

Pancha Karma and Phowa

This weekend, Melanie and I shall be giving Pancha Karma to some clients. These are the deeply detoxing treatments of Ayurveda. After this weekend, we are off to San Diego to attend a PHOWA retreat with our dear friend, Lama Ole Nydahl. PHOWA is the conscious dying yoga of Tibetan Buddhism. It is an extremely useful practice as it creates a reflexive channel for one to leave through the crown chakra at the moment of death - which can happen at any moment. It also helps you to do this for friends. If you have ever read or are interested in reading my book, Rebirth Into Pure Land, you can learn more about this practice. And, if you want to learn about the retreat, go to http://www.diamondway.org/phowa2009.

Also, a reminder that if you shop with us by calling or online, mention our 20% rebate on purchases. This sale is for all retail products and will last until the first of he year.
Much Love,
Robert (and Melanie)
