Bhakti Fest 2011: Looking at the World through Bhav Colored Glasses
by Frances Frischkorn on Sep 15, 2011
Unlike some of the other yoga festivals Bhakti Fest is really about, well, bhakti - devotion! It's not a rock and roll kind of vibe. There's no booze or drugs or meat. It's a pure, clean-living, devotional, yoga-fabulous party! No matter what we look like, where we are from or what we do for a living, we all come together in the vortex that is Joshua Tree, California, to chant the names of the Divine and tune-in to a higher vibration through the practices of kirtan, yoga and meditation.908 views

The Greening of a City: Halifax, Nova Scotia.
by Linda Lewis on Sep 15, 2011
Now in 2011 the city is finally taking a turn to the green. Always blessed by big and small parks and surrounded by water—the Halifax Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, and the North West Arm—the main problem was disrespect for the views to those waters and the steady encroachment on parks such as the Commons.367 views

Make Your Yoga Yours. ~ Christine M. Ditri
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 15, 2011
There's something funny about being a yoga teacher though--everyone does exactly what you say. If I say inhale and lift your right leg (even though we just did the right side and I meant left), people lift their right leg anyway. If I offer a way to move deeper into the pose for those who would like to try it, almost everyone will try it.1,062 views

The Difference Between New-Age Spirituality & Authentic Spirituality in 3 Paragraphs.
by Benjamin Riggs on Sep 15, 2011
Both, readers and writers, often inquire as to why elephant journal labels its spirituality section "non-new agey spirituality." Well, obviously the answer is that we try not to endorse new-age spirituality, which begs the question, "What is the difference between new-age spirituality and non-new agey spirituality?

Meet Me in the Circle: The Language of Drum Circle Sundays. ~ Alyssa Schimmel
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 15, 2011
He introduces himself as Uncle Willie, cackling, and we fist bump. He tells me, proudly, he’s 74 and has been coming to the drum circle for years, and that his goal, ‘God help him,’ is to meet and have a conversation with everyone who comes to the park. I compliment him on this admirable aspiration, looking at the circle out across the field of Frisbee players, jugglers and acro-yogis, young parents, people reading, people nodding off to sleep – and think how sizable.387 views

Heart Is Home. ~ Brittany Jade Trubridge
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 15, 2011
Meditating on the heart is the only true way to balance our physical and subtle bodies; it allows us not only to accept and exist in our body, but also not to be overly attached to it by bringing awareness to our more primal natures.Without the heart, both poles are left devoid of the warmth and compassion necessary to bring forth their best attributes.820 views

There I was in Whole Foods with a yoga mat strapped to my back, bike shoes on my feet, yoga clothes on my body and a bottle of kombucha in my hand. Too say it was very "Boulderesque" would be an understatement. Too say it was cliché would be much more to the point. I had to wince.2,524 views

Weight Loss, Yoga, Love & the Story of My Life.
by Anna Sheinman on Sep 14, 2011
I was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. My parents are lovely folks who never exercise or eat healthy. They love to have fun, go out, eat, dress, drink, dance and indulge in general. Both of them had a really good jobs and a thriving business. We were well off and life was good for a while. Things always change, but this is another story. I came to New York just in time for my 19th birthday for the summer break. I fell in love with NY and never looked back!1,985 views

Hit Me Baby, One More Time.
by Jennifer Cusano on Sep 14, 2011
I used to tell my husband when we fought, that I would rather have the shit kicked out of me than go through the verbal mess of an argument. My position being that at least when you get hit, it happens, and then it's over. Usually afterward there was a pretty decent grace period as well. Things would always be really good after I got punched in the face. You can imagine the look on my husband's face when I said those things. It was a cross between pain and confusion. I could never adequately explain my stand to him.2,667 views
