How the Occupy Movement Can Deal with Conflict.

by 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.

Don’t Know about Life, but there Is Love After Death.

by Chrispy (Bhagat Singh) on May 12, 2012

I find it hard to understand in my mind what it means to love you after you are dead — but I still want to comfort and take care of you — and I want you to love me and care for me. I want to have problems to discuss with you — I want to do little projects with you. I never thought until just now that we can do that. What should we do. We started to learn to make clothes together — or learn Chinese — or getting a movie projector. Can’t I do something now? No. I am alone without you and you were the “idea-woman” and general instigator of all our wild adventures.

Asana Is a Tool—Are You Acting like One?

by Chrispy (Bhagat Singh) on Apr 25, 2012

Most ‘yogis’ like to feel they’ve transcended the‘calisthenics’ and the gym-yoga and are now doing the yoga; perhaps it’s more accurate to say that we are all using the asana practice to help us connect with a greater technology known as yoga, but that simple physical movement without the union of stability and flexibility, root and aspiration, expression and surrender may not actually be yoga.

The Difference between Injury & Soreness.

by Chrispy (Bhagat Singh) on Apr 18, 2012

Your body is a vessel, it’s a container for essence and experience that is you – your body is not you, but rather what holds you. If you imagine you as a vessel, then a vessel for what? A vessel for prana, love, experience, service, fulfillment, overflowing? Imagine you are a vessel for service, and made of beautiful burnished shiny gold. Why be anything less if you can create this? So, your vessel of gold that contains the you that is saying these very words in your own mind’s ear right now is for service… and in that service, you are being used, sometimes even slightly abused. You get scratched, or dented or dinged or tarnished. That’s life, that’s service.

I Still Breastfeed my Seven-Year-Old: Sex Sells but I Didn’t Buy It. {April Fool’s edition}

by Brooke Kochel on Apr 1, 2012

I’m not ashamed to admit it. There’s obviously no sexual connection between my child and me. Sensual, yes. What’s not sensual about two humans with skin-to-skin contact, one sucking the others breast? But young children are sensual by nature. They love to be held close, rocked, diapered bottoms patted to sleep, hair stoked after every boo-boo.

by Chrispy (Bhagat Singh) on Mar 24, 2012

The edge: not the ‘edge’ where they say if you aren’t living there you’re taking up too much space. No, the edge of the practice, that vital space of information and transformation; any less effort and our mind wanders out of the asana practice – any more effort and we would lose the subtlety of pranayama and lose the benefit of the practice!
