This joy that is naturally present at the core of our being as an inherent quality of the Self can clear away all sorts of inclement weather of the heart–sadness, envy, anger, fear, confusion….
Smile as you practice your yoga and meditation. Awaken to your joy, and let its radiance clear away your inclement weather one breath, one asana, one mantra repetition at a time.
As you focus on the prana, the life force, with the breath in your yoga and meditation, you may discover the endless joy that the yogic sages herald as a quality of our being.
Spread this joy most generously casting its seeds freely upon this suffering planet.
Help grow joy!
As we traverse the inner landscape of yoga and meditation, we may meet a joy that knows no circumstance.
Free of association with any condition, it is simply and freely a quality of the Self.
May this natural joy infuse our thoughts, our words, and our actions. May our lives honor and celebrate it!
Laughter heals that which drags us down. Find the joy in your yoga and meditation.
Explore its infinite reaches and share it most generously.
This joy can heal the hurts of the heart.
You’ll never be this young again.
Live, and love, this moment like the youngest person you’ll ever be again!

Your intentions set the fruit that will grow on your tree.
Your efforts, and of course grace, determine the bounty.
The harvest is for you, those around you, and the world.
At times, we need to clear our throat to speak more clearly.
Yoga and meditation can help clear us out so we can live more clearly.
Like pasta extruded from a pasta maker, we give shape to the formless prana or life force with our thoughts/intentions, words, feelings, and action.
May the force be with you?
It is always with you!
The prana, the vital life force, is always with you!
Through your yoga and meditation practices, you come to know it most intimately.
With great love and respect, the force is with you!
So get on your dancing shoes (or yoga clothes!), and let’s celebrate the raw stuff of life, the vital force itself, the prana!
Take a breath. It’s prana.
Move a finger. It’s prana.
Blink an eye. It’s prana!
Party down. It’s prana!
Let’s all have a prana celebration!
Namaste…. (It’s prana too!)
