The essence of the mind is pure consciousness.

The essence of the form is the formless.

We are essentially the formless taking form… over and over again!

The formless that takes the form is still the formless, only it has a form.

Much like bread or pizza dough, we can assume many forms.

When properly cared for, we rise up or lift.

Yoga and meditation are such proper care for our being.

Meditation and yoga are like diving off the high board deeper into our self to discover our true nature is the Self.

This big splash is, however, very humbling!

Through yoga and meditation, you polish your state like you would valuable silver tea ware.

After all, your state determines your experience.

Polish your state of being with your yoga and meditation practices.

Bring out your luster!

A sip of great wine… the “Hallelujah” chorus echoing pristine and full… a laughing infant… a granite slab spilling into a glacier-cut lake surrounded by steeples of towering granite rock and a fresh breeze… a simple yellow rose…

none rival the bliss and stillness of the inner cathedral.

Hallelujah! Take the hand of meditation and yoga and explore the inner cathedral!

Through yoga and meditation, you can come to know and explore the energy that is living you and your life.

I’ve never been very religious, but for a long time I’ve liked churches and temples for their solemnity, their peace, their uplifting feeling that brings both a settledness and joyful enthusiasm… a deep happiness.

Through yoga and meditation, you can enter the inner cathedral and meet That which is making you.

Through yoga and meditation, we can come to meet our maker!

Let your yoga and meditation take you to your inner cathedral!

In yoga and meditation, the bellows of our breath heat up our enthusiasm in balance with cooling our reasoning.

This prepares us to act–to give up our fears and hesitations to our joyful convictions and passion.

Without an inhale and exhale, we are but a corpse.

Appreciate the life this breath gives us.

After all, we owe our life to this… breath!

Like yeast is to bread, attention to our breath in yoga and meditation can have an uplifting effect on our being.
