Today, Kame, the Mayan sign of transformation, has had me reflecting on technology, of all things!

Currently, I find myself managing four Facebook pages (see Quick Links below) two websites, plus a blog.  Is that too much?

FYI, going forward, my email-based newsletters may be making their last gasp, dying in the spam yard of old tech. By October, these newsletters will complete their metamorphosis onto facebook (unless something better comes along.)
Forgive me if you are an email die-hard.

So how in the world did this happen, and, I ask myself, is the new platform sustainable?

For many of us this latest technology shift took place a wink of an eye. It is symptomatic of the time acceleration we feel, rolling through 2012 like there's no tomorrow.

We are reminded to breathe into the bigger picture and know that the purpose of this time warp is to evolve our consciousness. The dynamics force a focus on the present and activate our intuitive sense.

The Universe provides the necessary tools to move us to a higher capacity, which, I daresay, include social media. These tools are quick, agile, diversified, robust, never crash and, frankly, necessary if you wish to connect with anyone under 40 (a few months ago, it was 30).

We won't become slaves to these tools but master them. The art of deep thought, feeling, conversation, connection and in-the-flesh community will never be supplanted by 3 line posts, zillions of friends and LIKING everything in the news feed.

Instead of time, creation itself is speeding up, and along with her, new tools propel a fearless cast of characters to demand total transparency and enhance what we call  humanity. All part of the 2012 phenomena, let 'er rip.

Thanks to all of you who don't loose track of ancient wisdom... keeping it alive, in person, in the noosphere and online.

Always, my blessings, light and love to you and yours~

Eva from Spain, with yoga students in el Remate

This 2012 initiative is building steam and now we're looking for like-minded, Spanish speaking, certified yoga teachers who would like to experience a unique kind of seva (service).

 
Also, please pick-up and read my article ¡Yoga Para Todos! in the May-June issue of Yoga Chicago magazine. It's a fun, lengthier read about what happens to a gringa like me, teaching yoga in the rainforest of Guatemala.

...is rarely depicted so intimately as in the film recently shown at the Chicago Latin American film festival.
