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.

Mine was [...] 297 views, Comments 0 |

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. 231 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 perceptpion 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? 250 views, Comments 0 |

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. [...] 20 views, Comments 0 |

“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: [...] 4,755 views, Comments 8 |

Single Mom Seeking Stillness. ~ Nichole Gouldvia elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2013 Be careful what you wish for. Has anyone ever said this to you?

This is Why You Didn’t Get a Second Date.via Ellen Smoak on May 22, 2013 We’ve all been there… Butterflies and all that jazz that starts to happen when we meet someone special.

Don’t Drag Him to Yoga—Let Him Be a Man. ~ Shasta Townsendvia elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2013 One way to encourage your husband to join you on the mat is to just let it all be.

Shakuhachi: the most Beautiful Sad Sound in the World.via Waylon Lewis on May 21, 2013 It’s Shakuhachi. It’s like auditory haiku–lots of space and simplicity and longing. It’s often played when one misses another. Most folks won’t care much, but I love this, grew up around it in the Shambhala Buddhist community. It’s the sound, to me, of unrequited love—yes love held within dignity…loneliness with precision, not depression…raw, unmanaged emotion. [...] 598 views, Comments 2 |
