It’s the first, and for some the most important step, on the path to true enlightenemnt. Start with being kind to yourself in all ways. Be loving to yourself, go to bed early, eat good nourishing food, exercise, pursue hobbies and most of all practice your yoga. All of it. 561 views |
What Does it Mean to Stand in your Power?by Dianne Bondy on Sep 26, 2012 I needed to find my courage. I needed to stand more powerfully.
