Quantum Blues.
by Dearbhla Kelly on Nov 16, 2011
if you're going to invoke quantum physics as a justification for some claim you make, then you better be willing to submit your claim to the same kind of rigorous methodology that gave rise to the insights of quantum physics.464 views

Sheet Mulching: Healthy Soil Means Healthy Plants. ~ Laura Ruby
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 16, 2011
Sheet mulching is now one of my most commonly recommended and practiced gardening techniques. For one, it’s local. It allows you to put to good use most of the organic materials readily available in your own backyard or neighborhood, and it’s free! It builds soil quickly, sustainably and organically.119 views

Ordinary Perfection: A Buddhist Approach to Self-acceptance. ~Sister Shamu
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 16, 2011
I have this crazy idea of what perfection is supposed to be like, of what an enlightened person, a spiritual person, an intelligent person is supposed to be like. I don’t measure up. The Buddhists have a teaching about “ordinary perfection.” It is about finding perfection in non-perfection. It is about recognizing that enlightenment, or mature spirituality, looks exactly like your life right now, exactly as it is.100 views

Neurosculpting: Mapping the Mindscape. ~ Lisa Wimberger
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 16, 2011
This theory is exciting, inspiring, and life-changing; but HOW do we take control? This is my mission, to help myself and others understand how. Without the practical application of such magic, what good does it do us? The focus of my career is to help others sculpt their lives, to remap their own mindscape and shift reality to one in which mastery comes from inside, rather than outside.1,452 views

How being a stripper has made me a better yoga instructor. ~ Sarah Gunnin

$100 million tip
by Writing Our Way Home on Nov 16, 2011
I like this system for two reasons. The first is that it often works for me. The second is more interesting - when it doesn't work, I learn something important about myself. For example at the top of my list right now is writing this blog post. As I write I can feel some resistance to the work, and I can see how easily distracted I am. Fiona is working in the same room and as soon as she makes the most mundane of comments I'm trying to engage her in conversation rather than finish this post. This is where the interesting part comes. To really look deeply at that resistance and ask, 'What's going on?'153 views

Yoga DVD Review: Learn to Float.
by Tanya Lee Markul on Nov 16, 2011
Perhaps you have heard that in yoga, we ground to become light, we use our muscles to become effortless, and according to David Robson, a level-2 authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher, we can learn to float in vinyasa by creating a perfect union between breath and movement.957 views

What We Lose When Yoga Classes Are Not Taught By Swamis. ~ Meryl Davids Landau
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 16, 2011
Yogis frequently talk about living the teaching, but it is much easier for students to grasp the enormity of that undertaking if the person in front of the class is afterwards heading to their meditation room followed by hours performing karma yoga in an ashram, rather than going to lunch and a manicure with the girls.1,800 views

Why Your Intellect Is An Obstacle In Yoga.

Elegy for Jenna Morrison, Yoga Community Leader.
by yoga 2.0 lab on Nov 15, 2011
Cycling expresses an implicit love for community. It puts you on the street, in real time, outside of the alienating bubbles of steel and glass. You make eye contact with others, you hear everything, you don’t spew fumes, you understand the economy between effort and movement.2,503 views

Are We All Happy Yet. ~ Jody Ryan
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 15, 2011
There seems to be this striving for happiness that I see all the time in my life, in the media, with friends and family, throughout social networks. Books are written. Songs, sermons and strategies are meant to lift us up. Broaden our smiles. Engage our happy muscles.345 views

After A Confession of Love. ~ Sophia Paul
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 15, 2011
We had just gotten back to sleep when a loud splashing noise woke us up again, then some growling. A bear?? On our tiny island? It seemed he was trying to upturn our boat; although all our food was stored away in bear proof containers and hung high up in the trees, he might have caught some residue smell of something yummy and was exploring its origin.61 views

Wash Those Windows!
by Kate Bartolotta on Nov 15, 2011
Crying isn't necessarily about being depressed or falling apart, or anything negative at all. It's a release of emotion. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people tell children not to cry. Sure, give them a hug, help them feel better. But for the love of Pete, stop telling kids not to cry!853 views

Vegetarianism, Raw Food, Patriarchy, Religion and Disease
by Yogi Michael Boyle on Nov 14, 2011
The vast majority of original yoga and ayurveda was practiced by the “people” - who had neither means, nor time (as householders) to travel and teach. If they did, though, the West would have received a set of yoga teachings that were much more practical, healthy and effective for householders.413 views
