Out of the Darkness and Into the Light. via Jeannie Page on May 23, 2012 My profound heartache did crack me wide open, and once cracked open, my yoga practice allowed the light to flood in. The yoga allowed me to dive even more deeply into my soul, to touch the heights of elevated consciousness and to taste the bliss that we are meant to enjoy as spiritual beings living this physical life. 577 views, 342132Comments 0Out+of+the+Darkness+and+Into+the+Light.2012-05-23+23%3A16%3A50Jeannie+Page
Circle of Compassion. ~ Ina Sahaja via elephantjournal.com on May 23, 2012 Ahimsa, or non-harming, the first of Patañjali’s yamas, implies an attitude of authentic non-violence towards all beings. Yoga Sutra2.35 ahimsāpratiṣṭhāyām tatsannidhau vairatyāgah According to Nischala Joy Devi’s translation and commentary, The Secret Power of Yoga, the yamas are, “reflections of our true nature”.

Sex Messiah: The Virginal Monk. {Adult} via Shyam Dodge on May 23, 2012 The ashram was at the center of a large jungle valley with prehistoric looking mountains and hills on all sides. This isolation was helpful—Devipuram was a kind of Disneyland theme park for sexual perverts with a polytheistic religious bent. 678 views, 339141Comments 02012-05-23+15%3A45%3A47Shyam+Dodge
How Alice In Wonderland, Yoga & My Three Year Old Bring Me Closer to God. ~ Dani McGuire via elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2012 I once heard that when we are asleep, we are resting in God‘s arms. This sweet idea has stuck with me ever since. Sleep is something that graces us after we perform our rituals of brushing our teeth, washing our face, and maybe a little gentle yoga or prayer. Once we prepare, we surrender and [...] 240 views, 339719Comments 52012-05-23+03%3A20%3A23elephantjournal.com

How the Occupy Movement Can Deal with Conflict. via Michael Stone (Centre of Gravity) on May 22, 2012 When you are angry—don’t do anything, don’t say anything. Find your breath, practice yoga and find out what you feel. Underneath what you feel is creativity. But don’t put up the invisible, idealistic Ghandi shield—which when it is only philosophical, gets nothing done. Anger is not bad. 34 views, 336259Comments 12012-05-22+22%3A21%3A01Michael+Stone+%28Centre+of+Gravity%29
Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga: An Interview with David Emerson. via Lilly Bechtel on May 22, 2012 “There’s something about yoga that has helped people feel more fulfilled in their relationships. And we kind of speculate on that: if I feel safer in my own body, more confident and safe in my own body, then I can be more available to someone else.” “Trauma is this process of our selves being taken away, our body, our sense of self, everything is just stripped away. And then we have to take it back.” 1,811 views, 340598Comments 52012-05-22+18%3A07%3A16Lilly+Bechtel
Say No to Lululemon! ~ Sara Jean Deegan via elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2012 “Who is John Galt?” The question is the opening line of Atlas Shrugged, the novel by Ayn Rand that was published in 1957. Rand’s philosophy promotes the idea of individuals living for their self-interest and free enterprise. In its blog, the company said that Dennis J. Wilson, Lululemon’s founder and chairman, first read Atlas Shrugged when he [...] 1,734 views, 341025Comments 82012-05-22+17%3A22%3A49elephantjournal.com
Falling In & Out Of Love With An Asana. ~ Morven Watt via elephantjournal.com on May 22, 2012 I don’t think there is a yogi out there who hasn’t had this happen to them. It can happen two ways. The first (and in my opinion, easier to deal with) is when you start of with…let’s say a strong dislike…of a particular posture. And then one practice, you suddenly realize you are happy in [...] 96 views, 340648Comments 02012-05-22+14%3A11%3A44elephantjournal.com

In Defense of Anger—or, Life Lessons from the Incredible Hulk. via Julie JC Peters on May 21, 2012 ’ve gotten tired of beating myself up for feeling hurt. I started beating up my pillows and writing articles about the Hulk instead. Giving my anger a chance to speak rather than swallowing it has shown me its amazing ability to burn burns right through the insecure crap that confuses your instincts and what you know in your heart to be true. 1,229 views, 340695Comments 122012-05-22+03%3A20%3A57Julie+JC+Peters

On Becoming Zen Appropriate. ~ Ronna Holtz via elephantjournal.com on May 21, 2012 Over the past five years, the question I’ve been asked the most (second only to “How many tattoos do you have?”) has been, “Have you ever tried yoga?” The question was coming at me from so many directions that I couldn’t help but think that someone was trying to tell me something.

The Hot Mess on the Mat Next-Door; Me. ~ Kate Citrin via elephantjournal.com on May 21, 2012 Sometimes I appear to be an ass-hat. Like most of my generation, my siblings, parents and grandparents have chosen their places of residence based on family. Specifically, how far away can I move to ensure they will not pop in for surprise visits? While eliminating the tedium of family dinners, we have now ensured exotic [...] 487 views, 340557Comments 02012-05-21+20%3A27%3A26elephantjournal.com
Sex & Drugs & New Age Music Part 2. via Julian Walker on May 21, 2012 With a shared knowing look, and a ritualistic deliberateness, we put the improbably thin and small piece of paper soaked with a tiny drop of the most potent drug on the planet onto our god-hungry tongues. “Don’t worry,” she said, eyes twinkling, mouth smiling seductively, “I’ll take care of you.” 313 views, 338247Comments 42012-05-21+19%3A10%3A30Julian+Walker
