Yogis and Jedis…Oh My! Part 1.
by Thaddeus Haas on Oct 31, 2011
So, I have a confession to make. As a kid growing up amongst the rolling hills of nowhere central Pennsylvania, I believed in the “Force.” That’s right, you know, the mystical power utilized by the Jedi knights in the Star War series to accomplish superhuman feats and protect the universe from galactic marauders.1,049 views

Confessions of an Incest Survivor: It Wasn’t All Bad. ~ Sister Shamu
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 31, 2011
The truth is that the trauma caused by experiencing sex with a relative at an early age is so much more convoluted and shocking than most people suspect that they would likely stare in horrified fascination at the bloody emotional wreckage, and then self-righteously blame the victim because they have no clue how to process something that goes against all reason. Allow me to elaborate: I enjoyed being molested as a child.936 views

6 Ways to Tell That Your Practice is Working at Work.
by Valerie Carruthers on Oct 31, 2011
In ancient Hindu mythology, golden deities and demons with a thousand heads would often meet on celestial battlefields. Both sides were immensely powerful and the battles pretty vicious. The deities as you’d expect, represented light or, supreme consciousness and the demons darkness or the egoic mind. They were there to work out their samskaras212 views

Buddhist Yoga: Joining with Naturalness, Part II. ~ Ari Goldfield & Rose Taylor Goldfield
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 31, 2011
“Renunciation” can be a frightening word. In order to practice Buddhist Yoga, are we being told that we must renounce the people we love, the activities we enjoy, our work – our life as we have lived it?483 views

by Writing Our Way Home on Oct 31, 2011

Why Yoga’s Not a Workout. ~ Rachel Meyer
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 31, 2011
I — like so many I know — spent too many years starving myself, too many years driving my weak, underfed body into the ground, too many years being that empty vessel with the big dead eyes and chiseled chin and delicate size 2 frame, trading my life, my spirit, my fire, my prana, my very being for that "perfect body".10,051 views

The “I” of all: our one essential identity. ~ Muni Natarajan
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 31, 2011
We all share a one life force that comes from a one life source, which is also our one identity that we’ll call “Self” for now, though any name would do. This Self is beyond the grasp of consciousness, transcends time, form and space and defies description.207 views

What My Mexican Step Dad Never Told Me About the Day of the Dead ~ Nicole Maniez
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 30, 2011
During the courting between my mother and Ale, my teenage sensitivities were not enthusiastic about a new man in the house. And why was he cooking things in our kitchen with our utensils? My heart felt bruised, but my stomach became interested in the smell of Mexican hot chocolate, mole, and Mexican chocolate cake.304 views

Practice, Practice and ….. Where are you going ?
by Prasad Rangnekar on Oct 29, 2011
She mentioned that her “practice” was not improving, she said “her head stand was not good enough”. I wonder, are we reading the word “practice” in the right spirit ? Do we all need to widen our definition of “practice” in the context of Yoga ?1,302 views

Pledge to Live.
by Melissa Smith on Oct 29, 2011
Balancing on one foot felt impossible. On two feet: a struggle. The teacher’s assistant asked if I’d like something. “Water, please.” Instead she returned with an energy bar. Confused, I finally wobbled out of the room, only to shiver in the cool lobby for the next hour or so while thumbing through a self-help (or Self Enlightenment, as they’re called these days) book I found.530 views

Stuck is not a location, it is a state of mind.
by Nadine McNeil on Oct 29, 2011
I accept the highs and the lows and ride the waves accordingly through awareness. Keeping in mind that whatever I am feeling right now is transient and temporary, rather than try to rush through the feelings, especially those squeamish, uncomfortable ones, I am learning how to stay with them, like a caring watchful mother and inquire, “situation, what are you here to teach me?”857 views
