Opposing forces find their balance in the heart.

THIS is yoga!

Over and over again, I practice yoga and meditation, and it’s never the same journey twice.

Thank goodness the practices shine their light and help me find my way!

It’s amazing how complex and circuitous the route can be to being here now, in this moment.

Let your yoga and meditation be your tour guide.

What is the flavor of silence?

Take a lick and savor its deliciousness.

Meditate!

In the joy that is independent of all circumstance–that just is–there is freedom.

Nothing needs to be sought or achieved.

How do I become this joy that I already am?

It’s quite an “achievement” to become what you are!

Like Buzz Lightyear’s outfit, yoga and meditation can transport us to infinity and beyond.

I do not have the words for astounding silence that will leave you speechless.

Unspeakable joy!

Yoga and meditation can take you there!

Persistent joy does not ignore or turn away from suffering.

It illumines suffering with its love and compassion,

and loosens its snake-like coiled grip.

Devotional practices like yoga, meditation, chanting, and the study of teachings free us and those around us again and again… and again.

It is easy to find what is wrong and be weighed down by perpetual and persistent grumpiness.

Regular meditation and yoga can lift us out of this mire of negativity.

They can refocus us on what is right with the world, on what is beautiful.

They can open us to our persistent joy.

We have all heard of killing someone with kindness.

Well, yoga and meditation can wear us down with infusions of joy and happiness, of love and bliss.

Their friction with this world and with our world creates our life’s journey, our sadhana, and our transformation.
