We are so busy and have become so complex, being simple is actually esoteric.
-
Being empowered includes developing the powerful qualities that lead human beings to cultivate wellness and healing. And those are the same qualities that enhance all relationships on earth and reduce stress (which seems to be the largest precursor to disease)-gentle ness, calmness, patience, humility, compassion, and gratitude.
-
It seems to me if I would want to access the special, mysterious, mystical, powerful and most important, I simply need to live my life more fully.
-
There is nothing that exists, that is not existing perfectly, which includes every thought we have, every word we speak, and every action we commit. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me, with you, with them.
-
Mental development is a by-product of hard work and effort.
-
Most of us can agree there is nothing more special, mysterious, mystical, powerful and important than life!
-
This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.
-
There are certain yoga laws and principles that are, shall we say, less tangible than others. For example, the law of karma. Science has proven what goes up must come down, but that's about as far as it's gone. To believe that for every action, word, and thought, there is an equal consequence takes something more intuitive, more personal; it's more metaphysical.
-
Everything becomes an opportunity to evolve and grow.
-
Higher states of awareness is a by product of mental development and conscious evolution.
-
Without challenges we would literally wither and die which also would be perfect.
-
Your physical capabilities have nothing to do with higher consciousness. The depth achieved in any posture only has the ability to hurt or help your body.
-
Yoga practice seems to be used to access some deeper dimension or some enlightened state. Understand right now there is no connection between flexibility and enlightenment.
-
Everything is unfolding perfectly. As this perfection unfolds, I learn and grow and become all I'm becoming.
-
Have you ever noticed the perfection of nature? The seasons and how one changes into the next, the falling leaves, composting soil, rains, new seedlings, sunshine, growth, blossoms, etc. Grass grows, deer eats grass, lion eats deer, deer population is stabilized so there is grass for other animals; sunrise and sunset, boy and girl, winter and summer.
-
When we start understanding that all challenges are really opportunities to learn and grow and become all that we are becoming, which is all being guided by nature and her desire to maintain perfect balance, then what could be wrong? If there is nothing wrong, then the burden of humanity has been lifted from my shoulder and I'm free to be me - to play, to cry, to laugh, to work, to explore, to serve, to unfold and grow.
-
Please stop worrying about how much you can do! STOP judging yourself and others on physical abilities and prowess, stop believing MORE is better, stop the madness!
-
As a matter of fact, wherever I get to is a direct result of where I'm at now which makes where I'm at now equally important.
-
Everything is natural and nature is the whole of everything of which I am apart of and so are you.
-
Natural events have completely destroyed this planet on numerous occasions in the past, and just like them we are a natural event destroying this planet.
-
Jesus said "love," "forgive," have "compassion" and "don't judge." Buddha said "observe," "be silent," and "serve."
-
We are acting on our desire; there is nothing wrong. Just remember if it does not pan out, if our desires go unfulfilled, it's perfect!
-
Enlightenment is higher states of awareness.
-
Without challenges, there would be no opportunity to evolve.
