Birthing As Awareness Practice. ~ Tikva Adler
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 19, 2011
Everybody’s birth is different, and you can’t know beforehand how it will all unfold. I realized that I would have to learn how to be ok with whatever happened, even if it happened in an unexpected way. I started practicing being okay with THIS MOMENT, in every new moment (without a story about what happened before and what might/should happen next).962 views

I Don’t Kill Bugs…do you? ~ Tammy M. Carew
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 19, 2011
Anything with more than 4 legs would creep me out to the point of begging someone to end its life. What a waste of energy that was! (Not to mention the waste of a lil life force!) Then one day, about 6 or 7 years ago, I asked myself: wtf is my problem? Why do I act like a sociopath at the sight of a bug?412 views

Why Do We Create The Ego? ~ Robert Jackson
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 19, 2011
to the other side,” I said. This concept of killing or eradicating the ego is the basis of many religions, philosophies and practices. Eradicate the S.O.B. and you’ll be free to live a peaceful, happy and contented life. This could be the greatest delusion of them all. What if we need the ego to guide us to the other side? What if there is a distinct purpose of the ego to point us to our own inner truth?1,251 views

Opening Our Wings. ~ Kristie Lindblom
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 19, 2011
We come to class and practice at our home for days and weeks, months and years. We shield ourselves from the outside. We wait and anticipate. We practice presence. And in those rare and precious times we wholly allow our expectations to dissolve and drink in each breath, each sensation, each glorious experience as it happens, it is only then that our inner guide can finally show us our colors.602 views

Memories: do they keep us stuck in the past or do the enable us to envision a brighter future?
by Nadine McNeil on Sep 17, 2011
Many of us, me included, are carrying around baggage that we ought to have left ages ago, on the other side of the river. Parasitic in nature, ultimately these germs weaken our terrain. And even though we may have managed to cross the river, our journeys would have been far more enjoyable if we’d lightened our load. Intellectually, many of us know this. What we lack are the ability and tools to release that which no longer serves us.909 views
