Yogic Sleep?
by Chanti Tacoronte-Perez on Feb 11, 2012
Relax Into Greatness is an approach to the ancient form of relaxation called yoga nidra, yogic sleep.

Your ability to manifest your sankalpa is greatly supported through the process of yoga nidra.236 views

Living in an Infinite Universe.
by Andrew Cohen on Feb 10, 2012
Last week I gave a talk at Alex and Allyson Grey’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM) in upstate New York.

Included here is an excerpt from my talk (a rough transcript). Enjoy!201 views

by Anneke Lucas on Feb 9, 2012
"I’ve discovered that the energy of devotion is the same as the energy of gratitude. ... Even here in a place like this it is easy to find gratitude for many things, like having yard every day, for having programs so we can rehabilitate ourselves, for having many like-minded people I can talk to, for getting three meals a day, for the sunshine…”1,119 views

The sky was as blue as the sea and clear except for a few lazy powder puff clouds lingering off in the distance.108 views

by HawaH on Feb 7, 2012
Enlightenment is not searching for perfection… it is finding perfection in the most unusual and disorderly things. Enlightenment is not wishing you had something that you didn’t, but even with nothing always having all that you need.347 views

To My Old Master.
by Colin Wiseman on Feb 6, 2012
But from the irony in the letter, I can take from this is that no matter what, this guy was strong, and he did everything to provide for his family. And when it came to make a choice he was strong enough to take the correct one. Don't give in to bullies. A very good lesson for us all, no?398 views
