Uncover Your Soul’s Purpose: What is Life’s Intelligence?
by Chanti Tacoronte-Perez on Nov 19, 2011
So why look to nature to understand dharma? Because as much as we separate ourselves from nature, we are intrinsically part of it. What we are uncovering is what supports us to carry out our unique purpose. How can we achieve our individual happiness while simultaneously having a positive impact on the world of which we are a part?717 views

Rastafari and Yoga: Team Jamaica quizzes Universal Empress
by Nadine McNeil on Nov 19, 2011
Both Rastafari and yoga are for me, movements, in and towards consciousness, ways of being that share the following basic tenets; proper breathing, proper diet, proper exercise, positive thinking and meditation, ahimsa or non-violence and proper relaxation. How an individual then chooses to invoke either in their lives may take different shapes and forms. Inclusivity, Oneness, Unity, Universality; these are the hallmarks of yoga.433 views

You Are What You Drive. ~ Elizabeth Aspen
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 18, 2011
In high school, it seemed like everyone had a car, everyone except me,and oh, did I want one. Bad. As it was, I had to take the bus or was driven by my mom, but like every kid, I wanted those four wheels that would mean coolness to my name. In fact, it was early on in my life that I learned a car would have the power to manage how I felt about myself and where I belonged in society.573 views

A Drive to the Far End of the World.
by Nicole Melancon on Nov 18, 2011
As we approached the park, the drive became more spectacular. There was the typical Patagonian cloud cover so we did not see the full magnitude of where we were headed, but occasionally we would get a glimpse of the majestic snow-capped mountains bursting through the clouds. It felt like the whole park was hidden, which added to its mystique.561 views

Look Me In The Left Eye.
by Tanya Lee Markul on Nov 18, 2011
Some say that it is our left-brain dominancy that gives us the feeling of being separate from one another. It is the ‘I am’ and the clinging to the past, logic and definitions, while it is the right-brain that connects and attunes us to one another presently, intuitively and non-verbally.1,748 views

Turns out, Yoga is Not Immune to Consumer Culture. ~ Khaleelah Jones
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 18, 2011
When I read yoga literature, I expect to learn about how to go deeper in my practice – perhaps through different breathing techniques, maybe with meditation tips, possibly because of strategies to get the most out of an asana. Instead, I feel like I’m opening up a catalogue. I have found myself distracted from good stories because I’m enamored with the newest mat comparison chart or floor-gripping gloves.318 views

Oils spills: Who is really to blame?
by Kara-Leah Grant on Nov 17, 2011
Watching the news last year, I was moved to tears during footage of the devastation in the Gulf of Mexico. Mindful of my yoga practice, and what it has to say about the five kleshas or afflictions clouding our view of reality, I decided to make watching the news my yoga practice, right then and right there. I wanted to see what was truly going on, beyond ignorance or avidya. (The first klesha). As I watched, an angry man flashed before the screen and said: Shame on you BP!92 views

What To Do When There Is Nothing To Do.
by Tina Fossella, MFT on Nov 17, 2011
The contemplative therapeutic approach emphasizes two meditation practices; shamatha and tonglen. By accepting ourselves and own uncomfortable feelings we can help others a lot better because we understand from the inside out. When we are honest with ourselves about the truth of our own feelings, we are better positioned to be genuinely empathic rather than thinking we get someone from our ideas. Our open presence has the potential to fill the space with warmth, love, and tenderness. It is as if you say with your whole being, “I am here with you and whatever’s going on is okay. We can just be with it here together.”901 views

Pablo’s family, and his profound connection to source, are the benefactor’s of his character and his ability to enter the great transformation with courage and skill.252 views
