I saw an image recently of a big bowl of fresh fruits and vegetables, which had the following caption: You Are What You Eat So Don't Be Fast, Cheap, Easy, or Fake Pretty wise advice that gets right to the point in a clever way, and it got me thinking: The same thing applies when we step onto our yoga mats! You Are What You Yoga So slow down, don't cheat yourself, take it easy, and stand in your truth. Don't be fast. You have the rest of your day to ride in the fast lane.

Who Owns Yoga? The people!…and the documentary is pretty interesting too…
Trying to answer the question, "Who owns yoga?" this Al Jazeera documentary is a pretty fascinating look at current trends in the yoga community, highlighting the variety and creativity of the modern yoga practice (which sort of drives me crazy sometimes, but to each their own...) as well as the tension between the ancient spiritual practice and the ancient never-ending desire to make a buck.

I often meditate on trusting that I will have enough. Enough of what? Well, enough courage, enough inner strength, enough wisdom, enough energy, enough love, enough happiness, enough peace, and yes, enough money. When life becomes intense, the prism of mental scarcity often grows and distorts our view. We start to think that we are going to run out. However, we cannot attract abundance if we think this way. Abundance and Scarcity are mutually exclusive entities. Do you suffer from what … [Read more...] about What We Have is Enough–Moving Beyond Mental Scarcity
