I haven’t worked in a 9-5 job for many years — for good reason. First, I’m an entrepreneur at heart; but more to the point, I couldn’t stand office politics. I also abhor the resistant culture many office environments adopt as they age. In my experience, when people have worked in the same office for [...]

I remember when I first learned to meditate. We were asked to meditate for 15 minutes because it takes the average mind at least 11 minutes to calm down. Then you have three good minutes, and that’s pretty much what you need to get to peace of mind and the deeper states of yoga. After my [...] Kali Devi My spiritual yearning started when I had just turned seven and was in Catholic school. I remember sitting there being so sad when the nuns told us that the babies in Africa couldn’t go to heaven because they weren’t baptized. I had a few sleepless nights after that session worrying about those babies [...] Mother Theresa When I think about the qualities of a “saint” I have a sense that they reflect what God’s spirit is truly like. I believe that feeling a saint’s energy would give us a glimpse into what is holy and good. So I thought, if I want to live a more saintly life, what would [...] Spiritual Growth Many years ago I made a commitment never to pass along any negative energy. I live most days in peace and love, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get caught in a loop sometimes when things don’t “go my way.” Patience has never been easy for me and as a result, I still have [...] Secret of Money It’s no secret that sex and money often consume a majority share of our attention. So it’s a relief to see women finally acknowleding that we don’t all have to look like a model to live like beautiful women. Even Vogue recently published a photo of a model with a teeny weeny buldge [...] The How of Happiness Sonja Lyubomirsky, professor of psychology at UC Riverside and author of the book “The How of Happiness,” has teamed up with Signal Patterns, developers of psychology-based Web and mobile applications, to create the new “Live Happy” iPhone application. Based on key points from Lyubomirsky’s book, the application – the first of its [...] Why not Chant? While I was driving passed a new yoga center, I saw a sign that really made me sad. It said, “No chanting…No Oms.” I get that some people are uncomfortable with the idea of chanting. When I first started yoga (over 20 years ago), the first time I saw people singing along [...] Yoga fix for Depression My friend just called, and she’s the sixth person that recently told me they were on antidepressants. I’m glad they have something that helps them feel better because depression is so debilitating. But I know there is one basic yoga truth that has proved successful. It worked for me at one [...] Yoga Releases Victim Consciousness For as long as I can remember I have been surrounded by people who insist on maintaining their victim consciousness. There are many and varied reasons for this but the main one usually comes down to fear. Compare two friends I spoke with recently who have the same problem: both of them [...] |
