 Just Because It Burns. ~ Sapha Ariasvia elephantjournal.com on May 25, 2013 As an avid Pink fan, I have to admit to being obsessed with her “Try” single. The interesting thing is, the more I listen to it, the more intrigued and empowered I have become by one small sentence in the song. A sentence I believe reflects not only my life, but also my practice in [...] 104 views, Comments 0 |

Fusion Food.via Andrew Cohen on May 25, 2013 Through commerce and travel, technology and media, we are being catalyzed into ways of being that a few short years ago were the stuff of fantasy and myth. 13 views, Comments 0 |

So much Truth in One Video.via Waylon Lewis on May 24, 2013 Aggression begets aggression. With thanks to Reddit for the heads up: A fantastic reaction to the London murder this week. “If I’m a vegetarian and I eat 2000 hamburgers in the name of being a vegetarian, I’m still not a vegetarian extremist – because I just did something that is against the whole concept of [...] 906 views, Comments 0 |

Urban Outfitters is a Commie-Loving Republican-owned USA Flag Desecrator, and So are We.via Waylon Lewis on May 24, 2013 So if you know flag protocol you know the US flag shouldn’t be on clothing (or chairs, blankets) period. It should never touch the ground. The flag shouldn’t be left up at night without a light. It should face the right way. It’s a matter of respect for the fundamental and best values therein. That [...] 2,203 views, Comments 4 |

Boy Scouts rediscover their role as a Moral Center for American Youth!via elephantjournal.com on May 24, 2013 “Boy Scouts End Ban on Openly Gay Youths.” Yay! Equality for all is one of our basic and most important American values—and we have to always do better, every generation. “The president has welcomed Boy Scout decision ‘to open its membership to all, regardless of sexual orientation.” 118 views, Comments 1 |

Confessions of a (Yoga) Sensation Junkie.via Jennifer S. White on May 24, 2013 Sometimes staying consciously aware, and consciously connected to everything that’s occurring around you and in you, is the last thing that you want to do—and that’s why being a sensation junkie isn’t always a good thing, or even a helpful thing, either. 360 views, Comments 0 |

Why I Had to Quit Facebook. ~ Monique Minahanvia elephantjournal.com on May 24, 2013 Maybe you’ve felt the urge to disconnect from social media at some point, but felt like you just couldn’t do it? I’ve been feeling this desire to quit Facebook for some time now, but kept pushing it away as an unrealistic suggestion. How could I even consider that? Actually deleting my Facebook account? Still, the [...] 1,884 views, Comments 8 |

Amsterdam Alone: A Delightfully Frightening Dance. ~ Melissa Stokoskivia elephantjournal.com on May 24, 2013 We sit in gridlock traffic on a Paris highway, inching toward the bus station still miles away. I’ve obtained a stellar next-day buzz having slept from 8 AM to 10 AM post-discotheque. The bus expected to take me to London departs in minutes. My heart, pounding; my mind, calm. A mantra: I trust, I trust. [...] 94 views, Comments 0 |

Can the Journey Be the Path?via Shane Armstrong on May 24, 2013 Week 6: Share My Path Series. Many times finding your individual path requires exploration; spirituality, practice, is not one-size-fits-all. This week the Share My Path Project features Brian. His path is a reminder that though there may be difficulties and off-shoots along the way, we need not allow these hindrances to sway us. And if [...] 63 views, Comments 2 |

 My Dancing Muse. ~ Edith Lazenbyvia Edie Lazenby on May 24, 2013 There Are No Shoes for Dancing with My Muse I named my angel once but my Muse is more elusive….She does not have a name or a face, well, unless we include the moon and her magic. The moon is the mirror of my Muse but I never really see her. But I feel her. [...] 32 views, Comments 2 |

“Korea’s plastic surgery mayhem is finally converging on the same face. Here are the Miss Korea 2013 contestants.” (Photos)via Waylon Lewis on May 24, 2013 Plastic surgery is, sometimes, helpful. Sometimes, it’s practical. But often, it reflects a profound, and sad, dis-ease with ourselves. Maitri is an alternative, and it’s harder work: we all know folks who are charming, gorgeous…but not because they’re conventionally beautiful. Because of the joy and truth they manifest, from the inside, out. In relephant news: [...] 6,216 views, Comments 10 |

Is Astrology For Real? ~ Eleanor Blattelvia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 In some ways, astrology is literal. The brightness of the moon affects our energy level. The rising and the setting of the Sun gives us the distinction between night and day. Our lives are undeniably related to the movement of the planets. But astrology is also a marker of where we are in time and space relative to an infinite universe. 369 views, Comments 30 |

Made with Love: Extreme Yoga Demo in Thailand with Craig Proctor. ~ Carrie Stilesvia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 Ashtanga brings out the intensity and dedication in us. The series takes practitioners deeper into the evolution of asana. Yet, the Ashtanga practice remains illusive to me. Ashtanga has always been on the periphery of my wild, spontaneous Vinyasa practice. I tend to approach my beloved, movement-obsessed asana practice like a light-hearted, joyful child rather [...] 1,572 views, Comments 9 |

In an Interconnected World, it’s “Selfish” (in a Good Way) to Care about Others.via Waylon Lewis on May 22, 2013 In an Interconnected World, it’s “Selfish” to Care about Others. My bike is made in Taiwan. My vodka is local, for reals. My pizza is vegan, made locally, but from a hardcore Italian place. My kebab doesn’t exist, but my cell phone is sourced from Africa and China and California. My movies are foreign, as [...] 958 views, Comments 2 |

“Conan accurately describes what it’s like to be 22.”via Waylon Lewis on May 22, 2013 Corporations and Corporate Media tell us to be pretty, to spend money on clothes, to lose weight, to be rich…and then we’ll be happy and popular, like Taylor Swift – 22. Conan tells it like it is—and in a wonderfully funny, raw way. “Conan accurately describes what it’s like to be 22.” 32, the parody: [...] 1,270 views, Comments 1 |

Sea Otter Hoop Dreams. {Video} ~ Dejah Beauchampvia elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2013 Craving your daily dose of “cute and inspirational“? Check out this sea otter at the Oregon Zoo. Diagnosed with arthritis at 16 years of age, Eddie the otter’s trainers taught him to shoot hoops to keep him moving. A lovely reminder to always keep it playful.
