Exercise Havingness: Stop Shoulding on Yourself.
by Ali Schultz on Aug 25, 2011
By checking in and being honest about what you really want in the moment, voicing it and doing it, there is great affirmation and clarity in your choice and in your direction. There is no question where you are going, no hesitancy, and the awareness of that momentous present is the best gift you can give yourself - over and over again.690 views

The Individuation of Ideas. ~ Jennifer Sertl
by elephantjournal.com on Aug 25, 2011
If we are lucky an idea or inspiration may “land” on us and allow our articulation to introduce the concept to the world. But voicing the idea does not mean ownership. After all, ideas build based on all of our exposures, conversations, reading and listening.2,989 views

Yoga Bloggers Meet in the Flesh! They’re Alive! Alliiiive!
by yoga 2.0 lab on Aug 25, 2011
The first thing I noticed about Carol Horton as she arrived for the YFT yoga blogging panel this past weekend was her piercing archer’s gaze. A career of academic discernment has given her an auric edge, and you can feel the heat of her bullshit meter, which has surely sharpened with years of vinyasa.1,668 views

There is No Rainbow Without the Rain
by Tom Grasso on Aug 24, 2011
The sky seems bluer today. As you stare into what is not truly blue, it dawns on you that "this too shall pass". This wonderfully blue, not-truly-blue sky will again became enraged by the clouds it nurses to life. The winds will blow and the rains shall pour. Lightning will strike and thunder will roll. Yet, you sit still observing this storm as you had the blue skies that gave it life. "This too shall pass."688 views
