after a brief stop at the meat store to get that large free range chicken (about 4 pounds) – not one of those one winged creatures from a chicken factory – you’re off to the one store you can tolerate shopping at – your local beer store325 views

Drinks Are For Wimps. ~ Max Zografos
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 10, 2011
”Going for a drink” puts a satisfying tick in a box. It offers a strong sense of safety. I hold on to my wine glass, gossip and give nervous smiles. That’s what everybody else does.463 views

Immigrant Thoughts. ~ Tania Kazi
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 10, 2011
And yet this breeze took me to a place where everything seemed deeply familiar and paradoxically – completely foreign. I remembered this sweet, cool breeze, and the gold of the sun from another world, another continent, perhaps an early January in Karachi.472 views

What I Learned from a Bad Yoga Teacher. ~ Tara DeAngelis
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 10, 2011
It was one of those days when I desperately needed yoga. I expected to walk out of that humid room into a gust of fresh air and feel the tingling of evaporating sweat on my skin, blissed-out and floating for the rest of the day.For the first time in my life I felt the urge to actually storm out of class before it had really started. What are we yogis supposed to do in the face of an ever increasing flood of yogic chaos?1,682 views

What does it mean to be free?
by Craig Holliday on Sep 10, 2011
Most of us start off thinking that freedom means we get what we want. From the perspective of the ego this is freedom. We have all had the experience of trying to get everything we want. The basic stance of the ego is, give me what I want and then I will be happy or at least I will stop shouting. This sounds a lot like a five-year-old boy. And we find somewhere along the way that even when we get what we want, we really aren’t that happy. Or that our happiness only lasts for a short period of time.610 views

Jambo! A refreshing encounter in a taxi-cab
by Nadine McNeil on Sep 10, 2011
...the root of Africa’s problems rests with leadership. “We don’t have leadership here, what we have is king-ship. Someone comes to [political] power in Africa and they are exalted above and beyond reproach. These same people are the ones who fought for their freedom only to turn around and suppress their fellow countryman.”448 views

Remembering 9/11 by Not Forgetting 9/12.
by Tom Grasso on Sep 9, 2011
While we are busy remembering 9/11, I'd like to take a moment to honor 9/12, when we the People united to help each other, hold each other, and give thanks for one another. Ten years later that day is hardly a flicker of light in the corner of a dark room, but that spirit can live once again.4,239 views

Why I Went to D.C. to be Arrested at Age 64. ~ Ellen Gunter
by elephantjournal.com on Sep 9, 2011
At 64, I’d never been arrested before. I was bricked and egged during anti-war protests in the Vietnam War days, even shot at in a high-speed car chase during the sixties because I had the audacity to be a car with black friends. But I had never been handcuffed and taken to jail until that day.1,905 views

Urvarukamiva Bandhanan: On The Practice of Knowing the Conditions of Your Own Fruition
by Josh Schrei on Sep 9, 2011
A deeper calm, a deeper peace, a deeper health, a deeper light than any we have known in our lives is available to us. This is the transformational promise of Yoga. But if we continually modify Yoga to fit the spaces in which we feel most immediately comfortable, we don’t get there.1,301 views

‘You are the result of your practice’ – What I’ve learned from the Franklin Method
by Ali Schultz on Sep 9, 2011
Images (imagination) creates the scenes and storylines that we live by – sometimes they hold us back from our fullest potential. The Franklin Method techniques help you re-imagine what ever image you feel is the operating stressor in your body-space to shift your perception (and pains, stress, overall feelings of bliss, etc.) and regains your full range of motion with an image that functions better and allows for a more expansive experience of – dare I say – happiness and buoyancy of spirit. The introductions I’ve experienced with this work tap into the beauty of neuroplasticity and have radically changed my life practice.597 views
