Healing Through Yoga

I’ve been teaching Baptiste Yoga for 11 years, but the event that served as the catalyst for me to become a yoga teacher happened over 30 years ago when I was a teenager. I was bucked off a horse and landed on my head. Fortunately I was wearing a helmet, so my head was not…

The Practice of Preparation

For many of us there will be times when it is hard to keep to the path and stay true to an ongoing revolution. There will be difficult moments, because that is how life flows. It helps if we can make peace with this truth and accept it, because then we can be more prepared…

The Whole Is The Goal

We don’t transform in parts. Every aspect of ourselves and our lives is interconnected with every other one. To paraphrase something Gandhi once said, “You cannot do wrong in one part of your life and expect to do right in all the others.” There are some things that are known only in their wholeness, that…

Carry Your Own Weather With You

Over reactive people are impacted and imprinted by their environment, thus soaking in all the stresses and pressures like a sponge and storing it all in their muscles and mind.

Give Up The Need To Know

We all want answers, right? The reason those late-night infomercials are so popular is because everyone wants a fix. Just give us the simple steps, the quick fix, the how-to process. That’s how we’re conditioned; answers make us feel secure. Whenever we encounter a situation that’s uncomfortable for us, we try so hard to figure…

Shift Your Vision

Whatever spiritual or physical transformation process we are going through, we are seeking to undo and unlearn a thought system that has blinded our true vision. In life, we run into obstacles that upon first glance look like the fault of others, but a closer examination will often show that the obstacles can be a…

The following are some suggestions in helping you establish your daily meditation habit: Meditate every morning before you do anything else, to center yourself for the day. Establish…

The Practice of Being Spontaneous

The practice of letting go of control and excessive planning and instead letting your intuition guide you is a very revolutionary thing to do. Over control and perfectionism are spiritually deadening. They leave no room for joy or for freedom. When we are in touch with ourselves, we are free to experiment and venture into…
