Who spliced their genes in my tomatoes?
by Jeffrey Woodruff on Apr 25, 2011
Given my green thumb last year with the Sungold, I thought I would look for a new variety to add to my garden. I tried Kumato’s at a local restaurant and then magically found them at Whole Foods, but not Vitamin Cottage (whose produce aisle only contains organic fruits and vegetables).334 views

Yoga, Mantras, and Taking My Own Advice. ~ Gina DuBois
by elephantjournal.com on Apr 24, 2011
As I offer my mantra as advice to a friend, it is allowing me to continue the chanting process even further embedding this into my soul. Sometimes I do fall back on old habits but now I am faster to recognize when I am being led by accusations and judgments instead of compassion and gratitude and I now look for the lesson in the situation.217 views

Are you a 24/7 Yogi ?
by Prasad Rangnekar on Apr 24, 2011
“I do yoga thrice a week and the other two days I play squash”, if this is the way you look at yoga then you may want to consider, appreciate and experience the wider scope of Yoga as a practical philosophy. It’s not about whipping the muscles in shape with a whip of impatience, but living with an honest pursuit of self exploration which goes beyond the domains of body.1,679 views
