Afraid Of The Dark, Or Afraid Of The Light? ~ Michelle Anne Lipper
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 10, 2012
Fear comes in many disguises. It can hide and mask itself as any emotion. It can take a disaster, seemingly unite a nation and then turn humanity against itself.32 views

You’re on Your Own. ~ Jacquelyn O’Brien
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 10, 2012
I’ve been giving some thought to gurus, teachers and our relationships with them. I’ve been thinking about our tendency to give away our power. To invest heavily in someone else seems to reduce our ability to invest in ourselves.86 views

Look to your own guru now to decide if the principles of Anusara still resonate within your heart. If the message is clear, it shouldn’t matter if the messenger is messy.84 views

On Knowing What is Meant By Goodness: The John Friend Controversy, with Respect.
by Josh Schrei on Feb 10, 2012
Just as certain combinations of notes make chords that uplift and others create discord, so certain behaviors are in line with goodness and some are not. There are real forces in this universe of harmony and joy and uplift and there are forces of confusion and disharmony and violence and pain that draw unhealthy hearts like a magnet. There are ways of being that bring smiles to the eyes of children, and there are ways of being that result in conflict among men.978 views

Remember your New Years’ Resolutions? No? Here are the Buddha’s all 12 (apocryphal) ways to fix that.
by Ricardo das Neves on Feb 10, 2012
My guess is if the Buddha did New Years’ Resolutions, the Four Noble Truths would’ve looked like this: 1. In life there is time-wasting 2. The origin of time-wasting is unconsciousness 3. To stop being unconscious you must know what you want and what you don’t want (duh!) 4. To know what you want and what you don’t want, walk the noble twelvefold path....34 views

Do you struggle with the ethics of making a profit?
by Molly Gordon on Feb 10, 2012
When we don't charge enough for our services or products and run our businesses on minimal resources, the impression we make on others is not that we offer help but that we need help. Most of us don't really want anything that is not freely and enthusiastically given. Design your business practices so that you deliver your work with authentic generosity so that both you and your clients and customers can thrive.21 views

Living in an Infinite Universe.
by Andrew Cohen on Feb 10, 2012
Last week I gave a talk at Alex and Allyson Grey’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM) in upstate New York. I based the talk on an interesting story that I had heard on NPR earlier that morning about some new scientific discoveries that support the surprising hypothesis that apparently the material universe is infinite. Included here is an excerpt from my talk (a rough transcript). Enjoy!62 views

I am Utterly Obsessed. ~ Chelsea Tegtman
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 10, 2012
I believe I have become utterly obsessed with my body image and what I am putting into my body. I would probably even be considered to have an "eating disorder." Geeze, what a huge bummer! Or is it? Maybe this realization isn’t such a bummer; maybe it’s the doorway to loving myself again and the window to seeing the true image of the person in the mirror.192 views

The Loneliness of Meditation. ~ Sheila Singh
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 9, 2012
After more than six months of consistent practice, my meditation has become an almost lonely place of self observation. I watch as various thoughts fire off, one at a time. And each time I return back to my breath. Trying not to judge, to anticipate, to linger. Just returning to the breath.400 views

Tending Love’s Fire. ~ Christian de la Huerta
