My Interests

I am going to deliver here a breif discourse about the nature of myself so ya'll have an idea of me and what to expest from this. I am incredibly interested in a multitudes of activities. I have spent many moons contemplating and meditating on infinity. In the universe I see there to be many wonderful things to take part in. Many things in my life began as hobbies. Many hobbies have been given up for the sake of more important ones. As life has developed my hobbies have turned into professions. The things things that one does give a little definition of ones character.
I am a full time yoga instructor. I love physical fitness, but this came after my love of spirit. Always with a cosmic mindset I took to yoga because it was healthy for my body while providing a means for spiritual connection. about a decade ago I would scoff at weightlifting. I found it silly and unnecessary. Today I find great joy in weightlifting. What turned me off of it in the first place was the lack of spirituality in it. I have since learned that I can practice more 'western' fitness with an eastern mentality. It comes down to this as far as polarity goes. fitness in the east is predominantly yin or gentle. In the west, more yan or aggressive. As I will continually discuss, the two in balance make for a wonderful existance.

Things I enjoy some of which mentioned in my profile:

chess -good for the mind a good friend once described that as 'mental' floss..lol
weighlifting...not to be confused with body building
(bodybuilding is mostly aesthetic, whereas weightlifting os more functional.
skateboarding - very aggressive passtime.
this is necessary in my life to balance out the amount of time I spend meditating...pure stillness
art - bachelors degree from Maryland Institute College of Art... nuff said
music - something wonderful that I can create but cannot see as if by magic.
spiritualism - connection to the supreme. to see the big picture... love

There is more but these are the main ones which I will reference frequently in this post.

thank you - I love you all
