Meditation to Help Your Dreams Come True.via Edie Lazenby on May 25, 2013 Taking deep breaths into belly and as you breathe imagine each breath holds a wish. The wish falls deep into your belly the way a seed falls into earth. Each breath feeds the seed like rain and sunshine feed a seed. Breathe in and breathe out.

They Told Her She’d End Up In a Wheelchair.via Robert Sturman on May 25, 2013 I was 29, a brand new mom, and I had just been diagnosed with a disease I’d never even heard of. Multiple Sclerosis stops people from moving. They don’t know what causes the body to attack itself, and they don’t know how to cure it. It’s a mysterious and unpredictable illness, and a diagnosis often [...] 1,022 views, Comments 9 |

Inspirational Facebook Bulimia (Written by an Ex-Bulimic).via Dani McGuire on May 24, 2013 …truth is hidden beyond the speed of our lives. No matter how much good stuff is flowing in, if you don’t have a chance to feel it, reflect on it, and most of all to live it; forget it. The truth may not be the first thing that catches our eye, but it is the only thing that will penetrate our soul. 94 views, Comments 0 |

Skinny Love. ~ Ash Constancevia elephantjournal.com on May 24, 2013 As a teenager, I was imaged obsessed. Entranced and mesmerized by the top models—Kate Moss, Natasha Poly and Gisele. Size zero was the ultimate goal. I am a product of a generation quite different and contrasting to that of my mother’s; hers was the curvy, Hollywood bombshell ladies that I watched on-screen growing up. Mine was [...] 1,812 views, Comments 3 |

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. 328 views, Comments 0 |

Naked with the Shamans.via Freya Watson on May 24, 2013 The issue was not my being naked, though – it was the perception of that nakedness… In a society which censors images of nudity but supports advertising of cosmetic surgery, beauty enhancements and idealized images of men and women, how do we maintain a connection with our physical bodies which is positive? 308 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 [...] 1,425 views, Comments 8 |

My Favorite Buddhist Quote By Someone I’ll Bet You Never Realized Was Buddhist.via Tara Lemieux on May 24, 2013 “Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and let others move forward with it.” ~ Ray Bradbury Though he may often refer to God in his stories, Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian [...] 2,017 views, Comments 4 |

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 [...] 61 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: [...] 5,842 views, Comments 10 |

The Flux & the Flow. ~ Amanda Nogavia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 Sometimes we just need to get out of the way—allow whatever is going to happen to happen. All in Flux Last week, there was a storm—a treacherous, blustery aggressive storm. Inside of me.

5 Asanas to Do Above the Clouds. ~ Aseem Girivia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 Sitting in the increasingly cramped quarters known as an airline seat for any duration of time is the antithesis of our belief as yogis in the value and virtue of movement. People become understandably stiff. The severely impeded range of motion (lest we knock our neighbor’s drink on the floor) also gives us the sense [...] 978 views, Comments 8 |

Following Your Dreams? Better Pack Some Courage. ~ Brittany Amellvia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 The pause before the climb. My eyes fly open and I continue with my journey—but then something starts to happen. Lingering, right now in this very moment, is a feeling of doubt.
