Today’s card is Peridot. Perfect for me today as I am doin an exercise of contemplating my weaknesses and strengths. This card reminds me to be gentle and forgiving of myself.

In between appointments today, I sit in the warmth of the sunlight reading and contemplating the joys of my life. Loving and cherishing the relationships present in my life.

| Happy Spring, I am sharing a portion of Caroline Carrington’s newsletter as we will be offering Diving Deeper Into G-Spot and Female Ejaculation workshop this Saturday May 16, 2015 in Emeryville, California. I love teaching with Caroline, we are a dynamic team the energy we share radiates throughout the room.
I have changed the format of the puja as we delve into the Tantrik teaching of yamas and niyamas. These are spiritual principles for us to contemplate and feel into how we can apply them in our lives. Asking ourselves, “What would my life look like if I embodied this teaching and did my best to live this way?” These teachings are meant to support and actualize spiritual and worldly goals. I look forward to expanding, exploring and experiencing these concepts with you.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS: Sunday, May 17 New Moon Fire 8:00-10:00PM* Wednesday, June 3 Satya (सत्य) Puja 7:00-9:30 PM† I look forward to your comments on Facebook about your Puja
With loving gratitude and appreciation, Lisa A. Rizzoli Advanced Certified Tantra Educator † Gerber Medical Clinic 1225 Westfield Ave. #2 Reno, NV 89509 |

Today, 
say goodbye to my friend.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Marianne Williamson
I love when the Universe steps in and shows me the way. This quote appeared in an email I was reading this morning. It is the perfect message for me today.
Opening and Welcoming the month of May. Celebrating in the moonlight.
Today, I say goodbye to my friend.
Today’s sunrise meditation occurred at the beach in Sanur Beach in Bali, Indonesia.
As darkness fills with light,
sounds shift
from frogs singing
to roosters crowing.As darkness fills with light,
sensations shift
from coolness
to warmth.As darkness fill with light,
scents shift
from dampness and mossy smells
to flowery fragrances of the blossoms.As darkness fills with light,
colors shift
from dark indigos, greys and blacks
to pinks, purples and yellows.As darkess fills with light,
flavors shift
from cool, briskness
to hot, moist stickiness.As darkness fills with light …
I am grateful.
~Lisa A. Rizzoli
Legend has it that the mountains are “ladders” between people and the Creator. The highest caste family of Pong Mula Tau lived in the valley. Pong Mula Tau had two children, a boy and a girl. As the children became of age, the father began a search for suitable marriage partners, but could not find anyone acceptable. He decided to marry the children to each other.
The mother disagreed with this decision. Pong Mula Tau sent a servant up the ladder to seek permission from The Creator. The servant took it upon himself to not go to the Creator but told Pong Mula Tau that the Creator said it was a good idea.
The family began preparations for the wedding. The night before the wedding there was a horrible earthquake which broke the ladder. The mountain came apart in the shapes of kabunian baine and ” kabunian muane and are forever separated by a river. The entire family of Pong Mula Tau became fish and continue to live in the river. ~Julius
And so, marriage pamali were created for the Torajan people.
