The Beauty of Fat.
by Kate Leinweber on Nov 4, 2011
I used to eat butter straight off the spoon. As a treat growing up my parents used to buy real butter for dinner parties. Usually we ate margarine, because of course butter at that time was perceived to be unhealthy. But for those special occasions we had butter. And as a child I loved butter so much I used to sneak whole chunks of butter! Oh it was so so good, and I got in so so much trouble for it. It was considered gross and unhealthy and over the years I came to be conditioned to believe what society told me and agreed that fat must indeed be bad.3,836 views

The Biology of Meditation. ~ Lisa Wimberger
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 4, 2011
It is exactly the culmination of my experiences that has led me to find a way to communicate to others just how vital meditation is to one’s wellbeing and basic survival. The mystics know what they know, but the layperson sometimes needs an explanation, a rationale and a way to buy-in. I believe David Perlmutter and Alberto Villoldo have presented one of the best explanations I’ve ever come across in their recent book, Power Up Your Brain, The Neuroscience of Enlightenment.2,484 views

Why Don’t “Lasts” Come With A Warning Label?
by Amy Nobles Dolan on Nov 4, 2011
Practicing yoga is an opportunity to practice letting go. On our mats we practice letting go of our fixed ideas about our abilities. By letting go of these ideas, we open ourselves to learn, grow and change. When we take this skill off our mats, it's not just us who is suddenly free to grow and change - it's everyone around us.213 views

If Humpty Dumpty Was a Yogi. ~ Richelle Morgan

If Humpy Dumpty was a yogi, would he really just sit on a wall, legs dangling over the side, completely unconnected to his world and surroundings? This has heels over head written all over it.45 views

Robert Sturman—Intoxicated With Beauty: Portrait of an Artist’s Soul.
by Dearbhla Kelly on Nov 3, 2011
Philosophers and sages throughout the ages have counseled us that beauty and truth lie in what is eternal and that true happiness is to be found in loving that which is permanent and transcends the particular. And it’s this gesture beyond the particular towards that which is timeless that elevates Sturman’s photography to the status of great art.1,760 views

My Secret (& Now Not So Secret) Yoga Name.
by Leslie Munday (Recovering Yogi) on Nov 3, 2011
I started practicing yoga in the late ’90s and within a few years found myself eyeballs-deep in a popular yoga club. It was cliquish and hypocritical, but I didn’t notice at first. I was too distracted by my desire to find my inner truth, grow, change, and become a better person.501 views

Five Remedies for Emotional Storms.
by Tina Fossella, MFT on Nov 3, 2011
The practice is to refrain from rejecting or indulging any aspect of our experience and learn to face it directly. By welcoming our challenging emotions and channelling the energy in useful ways, we see how emotions are like messengers, telling us something about our relationship to ourselves and others. Emotional maturity is not about creating more interesting stories about your feelings, but rather is about mastering the ability to be with the continuous flow of emotions as they rise and fall. In other words, emotions are to the psyche as waves are to the ocean. Emotions bring energy and information forward. If you learn to listen and stop resisting, they will simply fall away.2,395 views

Veg Kitchen Challenge – Cooking for A Multivore Household
by Lorin Arnold on Nov 2, 2011
Many vegans/vegetarians live in households where not everyone shares the same food ideology. And, sometimes, those veg-heads are the primary cooks in the house. Over many many years of being in this situation, I have developed some primary principles that I use for the day-in-day-out of cooking for people with different dietary paths.431 views

It’s Working.

What Mike Seaver from Growing Pains Taught Me about Life ~ Traci Wallace
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 2, 2011
If you have ever watched the show, you probably remember that he was pretty self-centered in the sense that his family/world revolved around him. Something we all can relate to and probably still experience quite frequently until someone kindly reminds us of the obvious “the world does not revolve around you”.205 views
