Date a Boy who Serves.via Waylon Lewis on May 18, 2013 In Defense of Boring Boys. Date a Boy who Travels? That’s nice if your life is about pleasure. But there’s a more exquisite joy. A dear friend of mine just shared an article “Date a Boy who Travels” on her Facebook Wall: “Love this.” I didn’t love it. But I do get it. We all [...] 1,199 views, Comments 6 |

Joy & Pain: Learn to Feel Again. ~ Dusty Ranftvia elephantjournal.com on May 18, 2013 If we try and circumvent or avoid the storm, if we always sail around the rising waves, we remain unskilled sailors in an ocean of troubled waters. Our journey will leave us wet, battered, and salty. Unmarked—but asleep. 195 views, Comments 2 |

6 Ways to Get the Love We Deserve.via Tracy Crossley on May 17, 2013 Ain’t nuthin’ gonna change unless we realize we’re feeding our perception of reality and change our actions that support what we don’t want our lives to look like. Huh? If I want someone to always look like an asshole, then I’m going to treat them like an asshole. I’ll make sure I do and say things which [...] 1,567 views, Comments 1 |

Getting Lost Helped Me Find Myself.via Jennifer S. White on May 17, 2013 Your weakness is your strength. I woke up this morning with eyes practically swollen shut from all the crying I had done the night before, when I had gone through the oddest experience. I’ve moved around a little bit in my life, but this is the first place that my husband and I really have ever [...] 1,868 views, Comments 12 |

George Takei’s Response to “20 Young People Who Believe Marriage Should Be Between a Man & a Woman.” {Pictures}via Tara Lemieux on May 17, 2013 “Our adversaries call their campaigns ‘in defense of marriage’ or ‘in protection of marriage.’ Why are they so defensive and protective? Are their marriages so fragile?” ~ George Takei Oh, how I love George Takei—who has become, perhaps, this Nation’s most-outspoken (and brilliantly cheeky) advocate of same-sex marriage. This was his reply to the article, [...] 2,669 views, Comments 5 |

Finding Empowerment Through Vulnerability. ~ Jenn Falkvia elephantjournal.com on May 17, 2013 Learning to Listen from Within A dear friend of mine recently made this post on her Facebook page, “I’m not Superwoman. I don’t have to have it all or do it all.” I’ve been thinking about this a lot the last couple of weeks because her statement rang true for me as well; it spoke [...] 712 views, Comments 8 |

A Message to Yoga Teachers, Students, Practitioners, Healers & Clients.via Chloe Park on May 17, 2013 Who doesn’t love their yoga teacher? Yoga teachers are the bomb. They’re guiding their students in the classroom to feel and experience the empowering strength and unconditional love that engaging in the practice itself teaches. Who doesn’t love their healer/therapist? They’re showing their clients how to heal themselves, awaken their soul and redefine their concepts [...] 330 views, Comments 4 |

His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Climate Change. ~ Jenna Penielle Lyonsvia elephantjournal.com on May 16, 2013 But the Dalai Lama said that we should first detach ourselves from the situation in order to become objective. Forget about politics. Forget about money. Forget about territory, borders, or ego. Become objective and look at the world from the standpoint of a steward–a steward who regards his or her immediate surroundings with an insurmountable level of love and care. 957 views, Comments 1 |

When Our Guilt Interferes With Our Ability to Seek Justice. ~ Paula Carrasquillovia elephantjournal.com on May 16, 2013 I was too afraid to tell my father about what this boy did to me. I was terrified that my father would end up killing him and spending the rest of his life behind bars. I opted not to tell my father or my mother. I decided to tell the police instead, but that didn’t go well either… 127 views, Comments 0 |

 3 Ways to “Win” an Argument with Your Husband. ~ Shasta Townsendvia elephantjournal.com on May 16, 2013 Hint: It’s not what you think. The impulse was to throw the TV remote at his head and tell him what a total asshole he was by watching hockey and cutting me off with six simple words: “I don’t want to fight, Shasta.” These I interpreted as “I don’t want to be present to you [...] 821 views, Comments 2 |

Your Intuition Is Your Answer.via Rebecca Lammersen on May 16, 2013 “When you know, you know.” I never understood this quote, until I understood it. Nine years ago, I stood in the doorway of the house in which I currently live, and declared, “I’m home,” without ever stepping foot inside. One month later, I moved in. Two and a half years ago, I visited my friend [...] 1,832 views, Comments 8 |

10 Reasons I Still Love You.via Jennifer S. White on May 16, 2013 Happy upcoming wedding anniversary to my husband—and kudos to us both for forging a marriage that I would re-commit to all over again. Living a life as a couple isn’t always easy. People try to make it look easy, and a few of us certainly do have a less difficult time, but I truly believe [...] 171 views, Comments 2 |

He Holds My Hand While We Sleep: Dreams, Desire & Yoga Nidra.via Jeannine Ouellette on May 15, 2013 Lately, I’ve been experimenting with yoga nidra, or the divine sleep—an extremely powerful yogic practice for connecting to and manifesting your deepest intentions and heart’s desires. This guided practice (you can use headphones to practice at home) takes between 20 and 40 minutes, during which you linger in the potent stream of your deep subconscious.

10 Reasons to Have More Sex.via Hayley Hobson on May 15, 2013 It’s not a secret that sex sells or that just the mention of sex gets everyone a little hot under the collar. Humans were designed to be sensual beings and are drawn to sex as a profound vehicle to connect, feel, experience pleasure and euphoria, make babies and love others. When the time and space [...] 6,407 views, Comments 2 |

Who We Are is an Animal, Inside. ~ Amanda Kingvia elephantjournal.com on May 14, 2013 One time, when I was young, a therapist told me that I didn’t know who I was. I rolled my eyes. “Well then, who are you?” she asked. I didn’t have an answer. “Who are you?” I shot back at her. She laughed. “I asked you, first,” she said. So, I’m much older, now and I [...] 555 views, Comments 8 |

We Need Look No Further Than This Moment, This Breath, This Heartbeat: Be Here Now. ~ Jillian Lockevia Jillian Locke on May 14, 2013 “Shedding our skin is one of the most vulnerable acts we’ll ever engage in. Some of us prefer to stay swaddled in stagnation while others try releasing this protective covering prematurely. The journey of life is finding the balance between hibernation and emergence; between hiding and showing our faces, our true faces.” 444 views, Comments 4 |
