Now that there are about twenty-something members here, I'd thought I'd get the ball rolling, or at least gently correct the ball's posture so it is more likely to roll :)

Although Tribe.net has my profile designated as "moderator", all that means is that I am the one who started this group. It does not mean that this group is moderated. As far as I can tell, my administrative privileges are extremely minimal.

Some of you might know me from the private psy-trance mailing list I've been running for the last six years. While that is set up as a secure low-traffic mailing list, the purpose of this tribe is entirely different. As a web forum it isn't going to flood anyone's mailbox. So I'm taking a laissez-faire approach with this tribe. This a public discussion group, where anyone can join and say whatever they want.

Perhaps I am taking a tantric approach, that all techniques are interwoven with god. Feel free to talk about religion, spirituality, enlightenment, music, dancing, drumming, chanting, shamanism, shiva, shakti, psychedelics, food, anatomy, physiology, stretching, breathing, touching, teaching, learning, questions, answers, trance, hypnosis, mindfulness, meditation, medication, ayurveda, herbalism, healing, psychology, philosophy, love, art, sacred geometry, theology, cosmology, vedanta, scripture, sanskrit, laya, raja, astanga, bakti, karma, jnana, hatha, kundalini, tantra, mantra, yantra, dhyana, kriya, yoga, tribe.net, or whatever you would like to share.

Thank you, and welcome to the Trance Yoga tribe!! :)
