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 [...] News reports from Europe suggest insights into why some of the Muslim population are angry with England and America. With a better understanding of what makes them angry, I hypothesized, maybe we could figure out a way to deal with that problem.

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 [...] That is one hungry and determined mouse!
