The Red Shoes: Fast-Breaking, Cheap Thrills Sex. ~ Sister Shamu
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 2, 2011
However, I soon realized that like the little girl in the story grasping at the first thing that reminded her of her homemade red shoes, I had found my way to a trap that had the potential to keep me frantically dancing to a soulless melody that not even I could hear. I began to see my red heels as the poisonous symbol of fast-breaking, cheap thrills; sex without soul or life without meaning. I sensed deep down that the loss of my handmade shoes as a child, the loss of my self-designed life and passionate vitality, had left a hole in my soul that made me compulsively willing to take something, anything, that seemed similar to what I had lost, good or not, to fill the void.127 views

It’s not about the pose!!! (It’s all about the pose…)
by Mid Walsh on Nov 2, 2011
“Nice drop-back, Annoya!!! Much better tadasana-legs, Rocky!!!” We’ve all heard the limber laurels whizzing through the air in yoga class, and It feels great when one lands around your neck. But, please correct me if I’m wrong, the word “elasticity” doesn’t appear anywhere in the Yoga Sutras.617 views

How to get things done (the Zen way)
by Writing Our Way Home on Nov 2, 2011
The way of Zen is supremely practical. Although we tie ourselves up in knots with our ideas and feelings, the way through generally begins with acting purposefully now. Know your purpose at this moment and there is no difficulty in knowing what to do. Paradoxically, perhaps, being able to act in this way means letting go of trying to control tomorrow or yesterday. Simply do the right thing now.534 views

The Yoga of Protest. ~ Emma Dines
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 1, 2011
Ananda does not imply passive acceptance. Ananda is a powerful place to begin. If we can stand, grounded in love, firm in our understanding of what is actually happening, we hold the present in our hands. We can sense it, touch it and weigh it. Ananda is where we begin to shift and see the present clearly for what it is, and from inside of it, begin to shape it. The Occupy Wall Street protesters have no defined end for their expression. They are sitting in the present. They are moving towards ananda, with every creative and compassionate hand-lettered sign, with every kind and thoughtful interaction with the beings representing law enforcement, with every hour in the cold, damp and wet. Something powerful is beginning and watching what continues to emerge from that space is deeply, deeply exciting.761 views

The Awkward Protester.
by John Dalton on Nov 1, 2011
The Occupy movement came to Dublin at the weekend and I've come down to take part but so far I'm having trouble getting into the swing of things. I don't really know what I thought it would be like, more civil rights chic and less Glastonbury campsite, I suppose.234 views

How to fall in love with the world
by Writing Our Way Home on Nov 1, 2011
Look at the world though the eyes of a poet (or an artist). A few days ago I pulled a slim volume called Let Evening Come from the bookcase. It was Jane Kenyon's third collection of poems. As I read her poems my daily preoccupations faded away and I felt myself sinking into her world, and it is beautiful.358 views
