Hack your Karma in one Simple step. ~Max Zografos.
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 9, 2011
Eastern wisdom advocates that human life is like everything else in the universe. It cycles between pleasant and unpleasant sensations. Instead of reacting to pain with aversion or, pleasure with craving, the gurus tell us to stay equanimous. Sit back and observe.144 views

Cocaine: A Means to an End. ~ Sister Shamu
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 9, 2011
Most people have no clue that I was an addict. Not as an irresponsible teenager trying to find herself, but as an adult. As a functioning, executive-level professional. As a mother, as a daughter, as a friend. Part of the horror of my addiction was that I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. I couldn’t ask for help without revealing my addiction and potentially losing my daughter, my career, and the respect of people I cared about. No one in my everyday life knew I was doing it while I was doing it.119 views

Fickleness and Fidelity in Yoga. ~ Melinda Matthews
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 9, 2011
I’ve sweated to Bikram; shimmied to the oldies; meditated to silvery, shivery gongs. I’ve been massaged and manipulated, stretched and strengthened, pushed and pulled, lengthened and loosened. I’ve unleashed pranic fire, exhaled unhealthy desire, stirred and shaken my soul, rolled and rocked to the live kirtan beat.141 views

by Kate Bartolotta on Nov 9, 2011

Home May Be 11,000 kms Away but Community is Just Around the Corner~Jody Ryan
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 9, 2011
When you pick up and move 11,165 km from home you feel a little lost for a while. It’s kind of like starting school, a new job, or walking into a yoga studio for the first time, only amplified about 100 times.84 views

About a Moment.
by Valerie Carruthers on Nov 9, 2011

Are we collectively being asked to learn the lessons of the fourth chakra?
by Kara-Leah Grant on Nov 8, 2011
At any one time, many possible futures are available to us as individuals and as a whole. Times of great change represent both times of great challenge and times of great opportunity. This is one of those times and it makes me excited. This so-called economic crisis is providing the exact prompting we need to change the way we see the world, to change what we value, and therefore to change what we create.1,344 views

Bring Back the Spiritual Rite of Passage. ~ Sarah Gunnin
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 8, 2011
Our society has lost an important transition from adolescence to adulthood: the spiritual rite of passage. What is a spiritual rite of passage?

One would expect the experience to be subtly different for each individual, however, the underlying message is: we are all one.99 views

Stress — Friend or Foe? ~ David Pasikov
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 8, 2011
o back in time to when we as a species were hunter-gatherers. Let’s say your ancestor is out picking berries when she hears the roar of a saber-toothed tiger and realizes that she is being hunted. Her survival mechanism, which has evolved over thousands of years, automatically takes over. Her hypothalamus sends a message to her adrenal glands and almost instantly she can run faster and jump higher.834 views

How Can You Love Me When I Don’t Love Myself.
by Ed & Deb Shapiro on Nov 8, 2011
Loving ourselves can appear so difficult; it seems much easier to love someone else. But if we don't start with ourselves then we can't truly care about anyone else. Rather, we love them so they will love us, which is the love we are not giving to ourselves.704 views
