Start a Japa Practice
📿 A daily Japa practice can help us stabilize our minds, improve memory & concentration leading to greater productivity & deeper relaxation overall.
the Dharma Triangle
In the cosmic flow of dharma, one no longer wonders what their purpose is ~ everything one does, every word one says is Divinely purpose-full. There is no more “sitting in the waiting room waiting” for life to change because we have realized that our life is who we are and the only way to change our lives is to transform who we are… to evolve our state of being and expand our consciousness, and the way we do that is through taking action that is evolutionary in nature, which is kriya.
yogic reflections
Like the heart which beats in each of our chests, the Cosmic Mother's heart beats the multi-verse into existence. This universe but one, great, vast, deep exhale into expansion that eventually, as with all breath, will inhale and return home. The place where, deep within, we all long to return and know, for what is home but LOVE and what is God but LOVE and what is creation but LOVE expressing in infinite values of cosmic Self. Each of us an individuated point of consciousness interconnected with all other in the great, mysterious web of Life.
Temples of Light
A soul-seeking journey begins with an honest, earnest seeking, knowing that the answers will be given in even the subtlest clues, guided by Spirit along the way to discovering what it is we wish to know. We may travel to the other side of the world, pilgrimage to sacred sites and great temples, seek out a cabin in the woods, or venture into the jungle to connect, but always, when we are searching for the answers to life’s biggest questions, we are ultimately, always journeying into the temple within.
yoga as prayer
Yoga offers infinite potential and access to many dimensional experiences, one of which is to be a form of prayer. Spirit comes from the Latin “Spiritus”, meaning breath. In every day life and every time we step on our mat, we breathe… and every time we breathe, Spirit is moving in, out and through us.
wrapped up in malas
on our mats, sometimes we weep
We are taught early on in our yoga practise that the most important act of yoga is showing up. It is after all why we are here. We - our spiritual essence of soul and being - has shown up on Earth for the medicine of being human. As yogis, we show up on our mats to remember and connect with all that we are.
Practice the pause
It was only a moment or so ago, perhaps 4000 years ago in Ancient Egypt where Turkey Tail was revered as the “Plant of Immortality” - second to none except perhaps Reishi at times. However, mushrooms aren’t competitive and work best in communities as they harmonize and enhance each other's healing powers.
Meditation ~ to heal...
You can focus on your breath, a constant noise in the background, such as a river or the air conditioning, or even the tip of your nose. It does not matter what you focus on, what matters is that you do.
