Sustainability Prayerby Yogi Michael Boyle on Sep 15, 2011 To practice Dharma is to understand myself. To understand myself is to understand my relationship to everything, including the Earth. Therefore, to practice Dharma is to be in an appropriate relationship with the Earth 976 views |
The Six Ways We Sufferby Yogi Michael Boyle on Aug 29, 2011 Human beings at their Essence are innately content, confident, at ease, in touch with a sense of joy and wonder, and live with a felt-sense of interconnection and perpetual self-nourishment. It is only when we leave human Presence that we enter into the “Realms” of suffering. 789 views |

So, mustn’t that which is most valuable – deep, nourishing satisfaction – be worth working for most? 545 views |
Early Childhood Education Public Service Announcementby Yogi Michael Boyle on Jul 24, 2011 The learning of and value placed in intellectual information is detrimental to human beings when enacted too early. This type of learning stimulates brain activity in ways that should come later and necessarily therefore does not allow for the type of brain development that should be happening when we are young. 343 views |

Blog #7 – Crimes Against Wisdom: A Yogi Gone Bad, Consciously!by Yogi Michael Boyle on Jun 3, 2011 I’m carrying around a little extra luggage these days.

Community: We Become the Company We Keep.by Yogi Michael Boyle on Apr 27, 2011 A huge aspect of who we are is formed by our symbiotic interactions with those whose company we keep. This functional reality is taken advantage of in spiritual communities as shared “ojas” and in the authentic teacher-student dynamic.

Reinventing Psychology.by Yogi Michael Boyle on Apr 22, 2011 What we need from mentors is a wake-up call. We need someone to snap us out of the story that has been sold to us for too many years by shrinks and self-help books: that our problems are real! 1,683 views |
Radical Self-Acceptance?by Yogi Michael Boyle on Apr 15, 2011 Stage 3 is called “radical” because it is a huge step from our normal experience of life. Many people live life doing the “stage 1-2 cha-cha-cha”, dancing back and forth between “letting their hair down” and “getting their act together.” Many never ever achieve the TOTAL self-acceptance of stage 3, which is requisite to having total acceptance of others and unconditional love. 1,637 views |
Common Sense: Eating for Health and Happiness ~ Energy of Mindby Yogi Michael Boyle on Apr 12, 2011 We make such a mystery of eating well and we dis-empower ourselves by thinking it complicated – leaving it to “experts” with degrees in excess-information… but the only reason we need scientists to make “healthy” modifications to our food is because we eat modified food! If we just keep it simple and eat REAL food, we’d have nothing to worry about. 539 views |
