Since turning vegan, there is one thing I have missed up until now: my Dad’s chicken casserole. I finally decided to take the recipe and replace the chicken with ‘This Isn’t Chicken’ chicken.

Enlightened Activism: Love Doing What You Do
Another moon, another theme! As the third ego merges into the fourth chakra, the heart, we begin to see a magical combination.

Isometric contraction: working with the tensegrity of the body
Lots of fancy words in the title of this post, but what do they all mean? Tensegrity is a portmanteau (oo there’s another one – it means combination!) of tension and integrity. It’s what makes the body parts move in tandem with each other. The foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the legContinue reading “Isometric contraction: working with the tensegrity of the body”

Feel The Body: Yogrrr
This moon I am focussing on the intersection between the second and third chakras. Our watery, emotional relationship with the Other comes into contact with our fiery, self serving ego.
