Yoga Money & Spirit. ~ Angie Benton
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 25, 2011
The choice that Yoga teachers make today will determine this future. If you are teaching asana-only classes, then it should be called “asana class” or “fitness class” instead of “Yoga.”647 views

Nice vs. Kind (Or Backing Away from the Bitch from Hell).
by Emma Magenta on Oct 25, 2011
Way down, underneath overtly manipulative bossiness and the covertly manipulative niceness, was a desire to make a difference for people. At this point I’d met John Friend and I had a name for what I wanted to do. I wanted to serve.1,694 views

Putting the Sexy Back in the Broccoli.
by Andrea Balt on Oct 25, 2011
The same Photoshop that prepares teenagers for a lifetime of insecurities and poor health, can also put the sexy back in the broccoli – where it belongs in the first place – and make them eat more wholesome food, show them what a real man and a real woman look like, show ourselves who we are in truth.148 views

It’s Time To Get Energy Efficient Windows. ~ Sean Zobaa
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 25, 2011
No doubt, windows themselves are a heating and cooling retention “black hole” for any house. Almost without fail, windows are deficient because their existence represents a downgrade from the better-insulated remainder of the dwelling. Heat and cold tend to escape or invade through windows over most other spots in a house. The goal with windows is to be as small a downgrade from the remainder of the dwelling as possible while still allowing desired light in and being able to see out.37 views

An escape to Patagonia: How this incredibly beautiful, remote place cured my soul.
by Nicole Melancon on Oct 25, 2011
Patagonia has captivated and inspired the imagination of explorers and travelers for centuries. Geographically, Patagonia is one of the most remote places on earth. Located on the Southern tip of Chile and Argentina, and only 621 miles from Antarctica, Patagonia feels like it is at the end of the world. Patagonia’s remote and utter isolation combined with its spectacular scenery has added to its mystique. It is truly a magical place that is relatively untouched by man.473 views

The Secret Ingredient Between the Artist & the Muse. Robert Sturman Photography
by Robert Sturman on Oct 25, 2011
We headed into the North country in search of richness, ripeness, abundance. We wanted the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. We wanted blazing color. We wanted to go deep. We swerved around a sharp corner, and nearly missed it. A farm.1,060 views

Look Who Supports Boulder’s 2B & 2C
by New Era News on Oct 24, 2011
There are many reasons why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C. I could talk about how I don't like that a corporation (a monopoly, at that) has 100% control of a basic public service. I could talk about how Xcel has raised my electricity rates by 20% over the past few years. Or I could go on about how citizens have absolutely no say in what Xcel does, where their energy comes from, and how much they charge because the Public Utilities Commission isn't elected by voters. But, instead, the most basic reason why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C is because it's just the right thing to do for our community. And here's why.78 views

Actual Craig’s List Ad for a 1$ Yoga Mat. Hilarious.

Dear 99 Percenters. ~ Traci Wallace
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 24, 2011
I am all about doing what’s right and fighting for causes that I believe in, which brings me to an interesting fact that has always resonated with me. Mother Teresa never attended an anti-war rally, but she would always lend her support to a peace rally. She realized that putting your energy behind something that you are “for” is far better than rallying behind something you are “against.”319 views

Astro-Buddhist: Enlighten your Zodiac ~ Anni Padma
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 24, 2011
Do not doubt yourself too much when reading into the negative qualities of your sign if you don’t tend to embody those traits! If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Actually your sign brings you many gifts. But if you do notice these neurotic qualities, don’t hesitate to take measures to find balance.200 views

Start a Naked Revolution.

That one goes to church. You do this. You don't do that. You have this. You don't have that. But who are you?1,511 views

Occupy your heart?
by Writing Our Way Home on Oct 24, 2011
When I look into my own heart, there is anger on the surface - that people are loosing their jobs, and homes, and that we are part of a system which sends wealth to a small few. When I look deeper there is sadness, for all those people affected by this financial crisis. And sadness for those perpetuating the crisis, stuck in a cycle of greed. I am sure they are not truly happy, even with all the filthy lucre in the world.781 views
