I was reading Thich Nhat Hanh at the time. Something on Buddhism, and interviews with some bands etc. Local noise makers Baxter, plus Glide 9, and hmmm... can't remember.The second issue never came out though I have the entire master copy ready to go. Iterview with Shelter. I THINK. Definitely an interview with Baby Gopal. Hmmm.. can't remember the rest. Maybe Prema? No. They came out later I think. Anyway, this new one doesn't have any bands, but I'm still going to make it available for trade like the old days. So if you make a zine, we can trade. It IS exciting. (FLASHBACK)

Check it out. Tips for starting out: The biggest obstacle is going to be your mind telling you that it is all bullshit, these people are just New Age feel good about yourself hippies, and that the practices are simply made-up unauthentic bull-donk. At least this is what I have had to wrestle with on a daily basis. (I'm going to write on this for sure though.) My suggestion: Do what they say. When they say wear all white, try it. When they say cover your head, do it. When they sing "Bountiful am I. Blissful am I. Beautiful am I." Sing it. And do it all with an open heart/open mind, so that if and when you find you're not into it, at least you'll know that your response is genuine. I'll try and write something on this ASAP Thanks for the comments!

My muscle tone improved a lot but I was also running and doing defensive drills everyday, so I don't know what the cause and effect relationship is. I got invited to a Kundalini Yoga weekend function in Phoenix; but sadly will be unable to attend. I'm thinking of checking it out the next time I have a few days off, at which point I'll be in Louisiana. Any tips for starting out?
