Day Two: Rushed Morning #DoMagick
I felt a little rushed this morning because I had a book release and an online event to oversee (among other things), so admittedly I moved through the sequence a little faster today and did around 14 minutes instead of twenty, with only five repetitions instead of nine. It did help to curb my anxiety. That said, the Sorath model is…

Day One: Play it Again, Sam! Do-over #DoMagick
Okay, here we again. Though at this point I’ve modified the work for simplicity. My friend, Will, suggested I do just one pose per day while concentrating on a Daemon and hold it (Corpse Pose counted), but I was afraid that was too simple and almost close to cheating. I’d be reporting a lot of corpse poses right before I crashed…

A Matter of Ducks
In a lot of ways, ducks are like cats. They’re hard to herd because they tend to go where they want to go. Every so often one has to sit down and gather up his or her ducks and put them in a row, or a huddle, in preparation for synchronized duck swimming (i.e. getting one’s shit together). For me this…

Uncle! Time to Start Over! #DoMagick
If at first you don’t succeed, try-try again, right? I am going to own my failure and admit that I completely bombed this DoMagick challenge. I went to my friend, Andrieh, and told him I bombed it. I haven’t done a single bit of Yoga since last Thursday. That means for the past 5 days I’ve been completely preoccupied with…

Day 7: Don’t Say Fuck (Again) #DoMagick
Today’s morning yoga (I did a video, Rodney Yee’s Yoga for Energy & Stress Relief) brought about a profound realization about the schedule. As many of you know my schedule kind of spun out of control this summer and I’ve been overwhelmed by it. But I’m slowly regaining control with the help of Colleen Story’s Overwhelmed Writer Rescue. Today’s realization…

Day 6: FTW #DoMagick
Is that For The Win, or Fuck The World? You decide. Today was round two of the chaos. Amid handing out the payroll that I did yesterday, I also finished up the billing, did my A/R reports, helped customers, did the deposits, and stayed until almost seven thirty to make a dent in six days worth of data entry. It…

Day 5: Sun Salutations #DoMagick
I did nine sun salutations yesterday and then went to bed. Long story short – it was payroll and end of month at the day job. When you work in accounting, that basically means chaos. So you’re trying to do payroll while simultaneously help customers with invoices, and answer questions about the outgoing billing. It didn’t help that Monday was…

Day 4: Water = Counseling #DoMagick
After an upset in my schedule yesterday (and some needed time away from the computer), I am finishing up my work from yesterday, today. So far I’ve managed to do my water meditation and yoga, which seemed to open wide my intuition and empathy, and made me receptive to the rest of today’s work. I’ve also managed to answer a…

Day 3: A Lesson and A Walk #DoMagick
So today I took a lesson from yesterday’s work and did my yoga session, balancing and meditation session in the afternoon. Then, early evening we went for a nice walk so I could burn off all that energy. I have to admit that I think I need more active sequencing in the structure of my poses. So I might revamp…

Day Two: Extremes #DoMagick
Yesterday I managed to finish the entire air sequence + meditation and chakra balancing, and then I had insomnia until three in the morning, and some vivid dreams. I won’t go into the dreams because they’re too personal, but suffice to say they are pretty obvious in their meaning. So how this week is going to go: Day 1- Earth…
