Don’t Settle for Misery, Get Out of the Unhappy Relationship, Your True Love Is Waiting!
by Anna Sheinman on Dec 2, 2011
I don’t have to get married or subscribe to anything I don’t agree with because the society, family, friends or TV said so. I stopped drinking and finally quit smoking. I stopped looking for a mate to solve my issues.3,535 views

The Difference Between Self-Compassion and Self-Esteem. ~ Grace Bezanson
by elephantjournal.com on Dec 2, 2011
The other night I went to my first Compassionate Practice group meeting. Before that night I never made a distinction between self-compassion and self-esteem; I had an inkling that they were profoundly different, I just didn’t know how.426 views

The Tantra of Tight Black Pants.
by Hannah Siegle on Dec 2, 2011
When I tell people that this is the school of yoga philosophy which resonates with me I quickly qualify that in fact there are different variations on this spiritual philosophy. I don't follow the "left-handed" Tantra that is associated with extreme sexual positions and practices. You can relax your facial expressions now. I will not be attending the Tantra Summer Camp Retreat.909 views

Yogis Unite to Put an End to Sex Trafficking ~ Heather Snyder
by Yoga Modern on Dec 2, 2011
Last week, Nick Kristof (NY Times journalist and co- author of Half the Sky) followed Somaly Mam, a prosecutor and a dozen or so police officers toting AK-47s on a raid of a brother in Cambodia. Reading his live tweets as the raid progressed, I was reminded, once again, why Somaly Mam is such a hero to me.198 views

Yoga, Business, and the Secret of Everlasting Youth. ~ Francine Hardaway
by elephantjournal.com on Dec 1, 2011
Every time I walk into a yoga class, I realize I’m the oldest person in the room. By a lot. And even when I walk into a business meeting, it’s not unusual for me to be the oldest person in the room. Among my geek friends, also by a lot.503 views

Yoga and Blame; Lessons from Prison
by Lilly Bechtel on Dec 1, 2011
The practice of yoga questions victimhood and looks instead at the role each of us play relates a counter-culture inside the prison walls; a culture which flips the mirror inward to reveal the self-responsibility involved in both healing and harm. To see oneself clearly, after all, is one of the greatest goals in yoga.460 views

The Pregnant Yogini: Perfection, please.
by Erica Webb on Dec 1, 2011
I would like everything to be perfect before baby arrives. Perfect. No less. But, in amongst the gardening, organising and nesting, I'm going to aim to see the perfection around me and be content with whatever is left 'undone'.111 views

Six Ways To Show Your Love.
by Tina Fossella, MFT on Dec 1, 2011
In the Buddhist teachings there are many guidelines and methods to help us become more compassionate people. When we apply these practices in the space of intimacy, with the person who triggers us, drives us crazy, irritates, and bores us--the person we are closest to--we begin to walk our spiritual talk. The Six Paramitas are guidelines to help us use everything in our life as a means to open our heart further.3,370 views

A Study of Yoga Right Now: Personal Transformation.
by Tanya Lee Markul on Dec 1, 2011
In fact, ironically, during the personal transformation that occurs as a natural consequence of an introspective yoga practice, we can feel like we are making little or no progress when actually we are making our most progress.

Let your [inner] child be your guide
by Nadine McNeil on Dec 1, 2011
During dark times, we’re likely to make decisions that looking back upon them appear to make absolutely no sense. You see, as I once read somewhere, ‘the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t an illusion, the tunnel is.’ The light is always there guiding us along; it is our fear that blinds us to its rays.245 views
