Hi Jopa!

You know what the interesting thing is… You had always said that after being a boxer for 20 years you learned something: “They can can kill my Body, but they can’t kill my SPIRIT”! Well now they have Executed your Body and I can still See and Feel how Powerful your Spirit Is. Thank You for still being with me as a Guiding Force,  thank you for finding ways of Communicating with me,  thank you for still Protecting me and watching over me as you now Fly through the Sky and the Earth.  After all;  You are FREE… You have now become  my own personal Barron Samedi, one of the Guédés, Lwa or Spirits of Death, a Guardian at the Crossroads. Thank you for Loving me. In this Lifetime and in every Lifetime. 

With all my Love ; Pachou   

P.S. Your right; It’s not Love anymore; It’s Spiritual. When you’re Right; you’re Right.  I Love You!                                                                                                                                                                                                                  _________________________________________________________________________________

Yoga is truly an amazing Practice. Life always seems to give us; Humans… an opportunity to put the tools of Yoga into practice in order to test the Theory. I LOVE testing Theories, that’s how I find Truth or Satya.  The Theory I am testing right now is the first Yama in the 8 Limb Path of  Yoga called Ahimsa or Non-Violence. 

It all starts December 26, 2011 when my husband, my best friend, my Lover, my Love, my Life partner, Travel guide and camping partner was poisoned and later assassinated  in Our bed.

My home was violated in such a way that goes beyond what the average MiNds could Comprehend and I have basically been told I can not go back to a country Witch is not my own but, I have Roots to get my belongings so I have to walk away from everything I own, physical and material [now isn't that a twist to the situation].  Who’d a thunk it? 

Hey; at least they didn’t take my Soul… But they tried! Thank You for saving me;   attitude of gratitude*

 The home that I speak of was in Petion-Ville, Haiti, of course this was just my place of residence, I can not really call it Home. I mean you know the old cliché about Home and where the Heart is? Well Haiti is where my Ukrainian husband ventured off to. Although we were not very welcomed to the country as Individuals or as a couple. We accepted it and we had each other. Together we did explore all of the Beauty that exists within the Land and the Nature. My husband went to this Land/Country Haiti and created jobs and opportunities, he saw Potential, gave it Love and organized the first national boxing championship for the less fortunate children of Haiti and what did he got in return; Execution! At least that’s my Opinion…. We all have the Right to our Opinions; Right?

Our home was broken into by removing metal bars that were cemented around a window that the police estimate took about 17 min. with equipment. Someone was prepared… My husband Aleksandr Ivanovich Dobrianskiy a light sleeper never woke up, he was shot once in head and once in the chest, puke all over the bed. ewww, how gross is that? I mean Seriously; that’s disgusting on Every fuckin’ Level dude!  The person or people that committed this crime; because in reality  who really knows the hand or mouth that this order actually came from… Hum?

Anyhoo these [people] only took a few items from Our home. Items like his mobile phone, they blew our safe open with a torch, they took our money, his watch collection, the computer on his desk,  oh and HIS LIFE and that’s it. Nothing else in our home was taken or touched. So this is where I had to ask myself was it a burglary, an assassination, or simply Hate and Jealousy?

Non-the-less the Co-Incidence is that it was the day after Christmas and the day before my husband, Sasha {short for Aleksandr} would arrive to meet me in Florida so we could head off  to San Diego to celebrate the New Year. Ha  Ha  Ha… I really don’t believe in Co-Incidences.

You truly are an amazing Fighter Jopa…

I am so Proud of You. 

 You did a great Job Babe!  

_______________________________________________________

This is the point where my MiNd has been completely dis-entagled and I’m trying to understand What the Fuck! I am trying  very hard to grasp an understanding of how deep Hatred, Jealousy and Ignorance can dwell in another Human Beings Soul. I feel Sadness, Anger, Vengeance, Disgust, Bitterness, Sorrow, In-Sanity and Hatred running all though my MiNd, veins, and Spirit all at the same Time. What the Fuck?

Another Human Being or Beings have shaken my Vibration. Another Human Being has violated some-One’s Right to Live. Some other Being is such a coward that they had to poison my Husband first. You Suck! I really am trying so hard to understand how Evil could another Human Being BE, but it’s just not making any Sense.

Sasha did spend the last 10 years telling me that to understand how Bad or Evil people are you have to be just like them and it’s not worth it. Your right Baby, it’s Not. Thank You for bringing me the Message. 

Here we are a month and a half later and I decided to put the Ahimsa Theory to the Test. Guess what Jopa; It’s Working. 

I am still very Sad, Shocked,Scared and Angry. Yet, throughout this MiNd blowing time of my Life; I find myself searching for Compassion. Compassion for those less fortunate than I to not know Self-Love or Self-Respect. I search deep within my Spirit or Soul to find Forgiveness and Love for my-Self, re-Create my Life, Re-embrace my Power of Light and strengthen my Vibration of Peace. After all; at the end of the day, it all starts with the Self. So I continue my Journey and I start searching in my MiNd, in my Heart and in my Soul to forgive those who trespassed against Us. Not  lead me into Temptation, but deliver me from Evil.

So Mote it Be!

________________________________________________________________________________

So I am testing the Theory of Ahimsa by slowly letting go of the violence in my MiNd. Every-Day is a Battle and I am fighting very hard Babe. I’m fighting to find Peace again, I’m fighting to be Stronger, I’m fighting for the Light, but  it’s so Hard Jopa. Even though it’s hard I’m finding ways to do it and I’m working on it. I Promise to always remain a Warrior ~ For Love? Of Course…

Thank You for always telling me: “Don’t let people get to you Pachou, a true Warrior stands strong and continues to Fight.” So I’m fighting Jopa. This fight is really hard. It’s hard because I am battling my-Self. You always did say that the hardest thing to fight is your-Self. But, you always did it and Won. Conquer your Fears. Because what You Fear Controls You… I Remember.  So, I’m doing it I am shedding my tears to water the Seeds I have Planted so that the flowers may Bloom once again. I’m writing, I’m reading, I’m Meditating, I’m Painting, I’m Creating and I’m Fighting for Inner Peace. Yes Babe, I am doing it in Silence and Solitude.

 I Love You Jopa. You will always be my Vi-King!

Ahimsa= Non-violence or compassion for all living things.

Ahimsa is the first Yama which signifies its importance. The word ahimsa literally means non-violence. Not to injure or show cruelty to any creature or any person including your Self  in any way.  Ahimsa is, however, more than just lack of violence it is the absence of both active and passive violence. It means kindness, friendliness, thoughtfulness and consideration for all living beings, humanity and creatures, rocks, rivers, trees, oceans, essentially Mother Earth, the Universe, the Cosmic, the SELF. Ahimsa implies that in every situation we should adopt a considerate attitude. Ultimately the yogi or yogini aspires to eliminate all forms of violence both within and without.

You were truly a beautiful Human Being, Powerful Spirit and Great Friend.   

Thank You; it was Awesome!

Putanjali once said;  When You are Inspired by some great Purpose, some extra-Ordinary project or an un-Imaginable Situation, all your Thoughts break their BONDS or Bounds; Your MiNd transcends Limitations, Your Consciousness expands in every direction and this is when You find  Your-self in a New, Great and Wonderful World .  Dormant Forces, faculties and Talents become ALIVE. This is the moment you Discover Your-Self to be far GREAT ER than You ever Dreamed or Demanded  Your-Self to BE!

___________________________________________________________________________

So my Journey Begins in what seems like a horrifying moment in My Life but, I will always  remember the words Be Your-Self, Respect Your Individuality and Embrace Your POWER!

After all… I’m sorry,

I can’t Hear You over the Sound of how Awesome I Am!            

  I Promise,

To Be Continued…      

Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace. Where there is hatred let me sow Love. Where there is injury allow me to Pardon. Where there is doubt bring in Faith. Where there is despair may Hope rise. Where there is sadness replace it with  Joy.  Where there is darkness , let there be  Light !

~ Saint Francis of Assisi

Ahimsa implies that in every situation we should adopt a considerate attitude. Ultimately the yogi or yogini aspires to eliminate all forms of violence both within and without.

Ahimsa is a practice of living our life in a way that doesn’t harm another including our Selves. When we practice ahimsa we respect the preferences of others, trusting them to know what is best for them, Individuality. Of course, this is a practice and Practice makes Perfect.

In accordance to their sacred scriptures, Hindus believe that within this universe there is one spiritual power that flows in and through all things, animate and inanimate. Thus, all beings exist within interlaced dependence: the whole contained in the part and the part contained in the whole. If one believes that there is an intrinsic sacredness in all things, one would not hurt something one reveres. From this principle arises the commitment and practice of nonviolence called Ahimsa.

There have been many that have preached the practice of Non-Violece in History…

Mahatma (great soul) Gandhi  (1869-1948), was one of the foremost spiritual and political leaders of the 1900′s. He helped free India from British control by a unique method of nonviolent resistance and is honored by the people of India as the father of their nation. He believed in nonviolence and taught that to be truly nonviolent required courage.

While Gandhi spent his whole life fighting for the independence of his country, his dream finally became a reality on August 15, 1947.

The great scientist Albert Einstein said of Gandhi: “Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood.”

A human being is part of a whole called by us ‘the universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Albert Einstien

Martin Luther King firmly believed in the power of Love, essential to his idea of nonviolent resistance, could serve as the most effective weapon against a racist and an unjust social system. His method of nonviolent resistance is what achieved Freedom.

Non-violent resistance is not for cowards. It is not a quiet, passive acceptance of evil. One is passive and non-violent physically, but very active spiritually, always seeking ways to persuade the opponent of advantages to the way of love, cooperation, and peace.

Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Gandhi’s philosophy directly influenced King, who first employed strategies of nonviolent direct action in the 1955 to 1956 Montgomery bus boycott. In 1959, King traveled to India with his wife, Coretta Scott King, and Lawrence D. Reddick on a visit co-sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and Gandhi Smarak Nidhi ~Gandhi Memorial Fund~

Ahimsa is a Philosophy that has been practiced by many and has achieved miraculous manifestations on the earth plane, it is the first Yama and it’s practice can release humanity from the bondage of Hate to a living life of ~LOVE~FREEDOM~BILSS~

In perfect Love and perfect Trust Live and Let Live. An’ Ye harm NONE, do what thou Wilt!

What is Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular therapy is used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, sciatica, rotator cuff dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ, tendonitis and migraines. Neuromuscular therapy is also the most effective type of massage therapy for lower back pain as well. This type of massage or therapy is also used to locate and release spasms and hyper contractions in the tissue. It aids the healing process for injured tissue, assists in venous and lymphatic flow, restores postural alignment, and imparts flexibility to the tissues.

Neuromuscular therapy is a form of massage that was developed in the 1930′s by Dr. Stanley Lief in England, to treat and prevent soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. This specialized technique manipulates muscles, tendons and connective tissues to heal and balance the central nervous system. Injuries and traumas that a lot of times cause pain and interfere with nerve transmitters. Neuromuscular therapy works to stabilize neurological activity and repair soft tissue function.  Neuromuscular therapy enhances the function of joints and muscles, and speeds up the healing process by facilitating the release endorphins.

Neuromuscular Massage is often prescribed for injuries and conditions of pain. This form of massage works at softening the muscles so that the “therapist” can move in more deeply into the muscle to break up adhesions. By doing this, it allows the muscles to become more pliable and like elastic, the way they should be. A Neuromuscular massage frees the body from spasms and pain, increases its range of motion, and gives it the ability to avoid injury.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a very specialized form of manual therapy. A therapist that is trained in NMT is educated in the physiology of the nervous system and its effect on the muscular and skeletal systems.

Neuromuscular Therapy is used to address 6 elements that cause pain

1. Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to soft tissues which causes hypersensitivity to touch

2. Trigger Points: Highly irritated points in muscles which refer pain to other parts of the body

3. Nerve Compression or Entrapment: Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue, cartilage or bone

4. Postural Distortion: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting from the movement of the body off the    longitudinal and horizontal planes

5. Biomechanical Dysfunction: Imbalance of the musculoskeletal system resulting in faulty movement patterns (i.e., car accidents, bad body mechanics, a tennis stroke, computer keyboarding, ect)

6. Stress – Stress plays havoc with the functioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal system.

Understanding the six elements

Ischemia refers to a lack of blood flow to the soft tissues which results in a hypersensitivity to touch. Those suffering with ischemia may experience frequent bruising, temperature sensitivities and a consistent underlying feeling of pain in the skin and bones.

Trigger points are highly irritated areas in the muscles that result in pain throughout other areas in the body. This often develops as a tight, knotty area in a muscle that places added tension on the rest of the muscle. Hard, tense spots in the muscles tend to require intense, concentrated pressure applied directly to the tough spot on the muscle and may take several sessions to completely release.

Nerve compression or entrapment occurs when soft tissue or cartilage places pressure on a nerve. This may occur as the result of disc degeneration or bone loss caused by osteoporosis.

Postural distortion is a source of pain and is caused by harsh or jarring body movements. The muscular system often becomes imbalanced due to the body moving unnaturally off of the horizontal and longitudinal planes. Car accidents tend to be the most common cause of postural distortion.

Biomechanical dysfunction occurs as the result of faulty movement habits, such as typing or an ergonomically incorrect golf swing. These repeated movements eventually may cause an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system.

Stress in today’s fast paced world is simply unavoidable. We can turn on the news and be stressed, work, kids, home. Stress tends to make the body cringe; with muscle memory over time the body starts to stay contracted which causes the malfunctioning of the nervous and musculoskeletal system
