How to Hug a Porcupine.
by Lauren Hanna Foster on Jul 31, 2011
I didn’t buy the book “How to Hug a Porcupine.” I felt, for some strange reason, that all I needed at the time was the title of the book. It was enough for me. It was enough to know that difficult relationships are so common in this world that someone wrote a book about it. It was enough to know that I’m not the only person who struggles with porcupines.602 views

In Peace with the Past – The ideal of “Kshama” in Yoga.
by Prasad Rangnekar on Jul 31, 2011
When one’s mind has a tendency to oscillate towards the past regrets, the present manifests in the form of self-blame. By being in a perpetual state of self blame in the present the soul gets smothered. But the Yogi creates a “revolution” every moment by breaking away from chains of the past and making every present moment a new discovery, a new adventure.775 views

Independence, a mis-diagnosis?
by Nadine McNeil on Jul 31, 2011
To strive for freedom is a natural phenomenon of the human condition. To attain independence is a privilege that can only be exercised by those who are empowered by virtue of their freedom. The notion of independence is an intoxicant to a large extent, one that has left the vast majority of its off-springs feeling largely abandoned.473 views

Are supporters of excess heat & sweat in yoga class just full of hot air? ~ Dan Pitko
by elephantjournal.com on Jul 29, 2011
Many yogis love heat and sweat. Others do not. The claim: “sweat” is good for you because it “purifies” the body of “toxins.” Some also say that extra heat “opens” the body more, allowing a practitioner to “go deeper” in a posture and their practice. Is there any merit to these claims of detoxification?9,287 views
