5 Reasons You Should Care About the Yoga Mat You Use. ~ Aseem Giri
by elephantjournal.com on May 24, 2013
Full disclosure—I am the CEO of a yoga mat company. Does that make me biased? Probably. But the tenor of this article is no different than a yoga studio owner encouraging you to practice yoga (whether at their studio or not) or a dentist suggesting you have your teeth cleaned professionally every six months (whether at their office or not).

In Money We Trust. ~ John Forrest
by elephantjournal.com on Apr 25, 2013
People are often rated by the amount of money they make. Those who make a lot are seen as “important;” those who make little are seen as “unimportant.” We are conditioned make as much money as we can. Money is often considered more valuable than art, spirituality, creativity and intelligence—unless those qualities are used to make money.

What Do We Not Understand About Money?
by D. Patrick Miller on Apr 15, 2013
In our culture, one of the great potentials of money is that it can help you see yourself as you really are—that is, it can provoke a confrontation with hypocrisy that leads you to see what you’re really doing and what you actually believe. For most people, that’s going to be a profound shock.

If someone gives you something and you by a feeling of reciprocity you give something back, but no money has changed hands is that free? Yes and No. Yes if free is only about our limited ideas of money and no if we are thinking in terms of exchange in value. The point is that ultimately what we always come back to is an exchange of value.
