Like a sewer’s needle and thread, may peace weave its way through your yoga and meditation practices.
Their grace can sew a beautiful life of love, joy, and deep happiness.

A most fulfilling feast
It is silly to give up one’s happiness for the need for flattery or compliments!
Compliments are the honeysuckle of words.
However, a steady diet of honeysuckle will leave you malnourished, and very wanting of real sustenance.
Quit running hither and yon in a panic to only remain hungry and ultimately wanting.
Through yoga and meditation, you can dine at the feast of the Self, a cornucopia of delights–glowing love, warm joy, scintillating bliss, infinite inner peace, deep deep happiness….
Practice and fill your home with these. You, my friend, are worthy of such an ultimately satisfying feast!
The silent treatment
Our ability to experience inner peace is directly proportional to our ability to disengage or detach from our usual hubbub of thoughts and emotions.
Yoga and meditation can help develop this muscle or ability to detach.
Shhh, it’s time for the silent treatment!
Always supportive–even in 2020!
In yoga philosophy, ananda and shanti, bliss and peace, both exist within us as qualities of the Self, beyond any circumstance.
Yoga and meditation are the path to these, our birthright—
ananda and shanti, bliss and peace… always there.
Yoga and meditation over time will make room in our being so that we are graced by the experience of ananda and shanti more and more in our lives.
They can sustain us no matter what is going on, no what the circumstance.
2020, more now than ever!
A recipe for life!
Flour and water without leavening and heat form a pasty mass.
With leavening and heat added (and salt for taste), a wondrous bread appears.
Your body and state of being too with yoga and mediation can transform your life in unmistakingly delicious ways.
Try this recipe for a happier and more firmly grounded life.
Like flour and water, see what a regular yoga and meditation practice cooks up for you!
It’s a yoking matter!*
Through yoga, we develop our skills at letting go–of attachment to thoughts, emotions, circumstances, stories about events and our lives…
We let go of that which thwarts our deepening union with the Self, the universal.
We let go of that which keeps us in the dark, of that which dims or hinders the light.
The practices are what we do, the doing, that develop and sustain this ongoing and ever deepening relationship with the Self.
The practices are what we do so yoga can happen!
*Yoga means literally “to yoke” or unite or bind the individual’s consciousness, the self, with divine or universal consciousness, the Self.
Doing less harm
A sharp chunk of glass in your pocket is bound to hurt sometimes.
Why would you carry such a hurtful object around with you?
Such are past pains….
Yoga and meditation can help us empty our pockets of such harmful objects.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Like a bridge over troubled water, the practices of yoga can get you there!
It’s time to get personal!
As you develop your own home practice, do the practices you are drawn to and that feel good.
Also try to be aware of how they effect your day. Play with your practice and see what works for you.
It’s your practice to help you!
Make it yours!…
And you will be much more apt to sustain it with discipline and joy… because it helps you, and you know it!
Thumbs up to you and your practice!
Unwinding with the breath
Slow the breath, slow the mind.
Steady the breath, steady the mind.
Consciously, use this to your advantage during these agitating time.
