Anybody can talk about God without knowing anything of GOD. Anybody can explain about love without knowing ever knowing through experience what love is. Even a blind person can talk about light, he can explain to you whole physics of light but that doesn't mean he's not blind. He is still blind. #love #blind #blindness #friend #friendship #yogainspiration #yoga #yogicphilosophy #phylosophy #rishikeshyoga #rishikeshyogis #rishikesh #hathayoga #ashtangayoga #talk #conversation #yogi #yogaeverywhere #yogateacher #love #namaste (at Rishikesh, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWskZqNjQX7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thunderstorms
“When qualities of kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness are applied toward the suffering of others, they manifest as compassion. When they’re applied to our own suffering, they manifest as self-compassion. When they’re directed toward others’ positive qualities, they manifest as mudita: sympathetic joy. And when they’re directed toward our own positive qualities, they manifest as self-appreciation."
—Kristin Neff
There was a pretty significant thunderstorm in my area a few days ago that brought down numerous trees. The trees were planted as adults by humans, meaning their roots were not deep enough to withstand the tumultuous winds. Similarly, when we are not rooted in our practice, we are not rooted in our lives. I have been feeling tumultuous, with the anticipation of warmer weather, the urge for my school semester to be over, the urge to complete one task and move on to the next. In this I miss the purpose of it all, of my practice. To just be. To be present and one with my obligations. To root myself firmly to this earth and know I belong. To experience that true and honest joy for others.
I have been teaching Mudita (sympathetic joy) on my own platform and on another hosting platform, in addition to being in full time school and starting a private practice for massage therapy. I created this reality for myself and I have to keep pinching myself to make sure it is real. What a joy it is.
Teaching is interesting. You just know just a couple of specific things, and you share with others. If you think about it, everyone is our teacher. Everyone knows something we don’t, and vice versa. As I type this I sit across from my partner who is encapsulated by a new book about branding. He will soon know more than me on the topic and teach it to me.
The most fascinating subject I have been studying this semester, is not a psychology class, it is my intro level statistics class. It inspired me to write this poem (the coin flips especially). I began dictating which gym I got to on what day simply by flipping a coin. We are always gathering data and trying to make plausible sense of it:
the bonds that unite us
destroy us
and there yet, the sacred Aquarius
to the spacious Sagittarius the coin flips and i do not know the
rest of your chart
i'm a witch, in the night
but i do not practice the dark arts
my ancestors fought for the medicine
and the alchemy of the ancients to
be preserved.
yet, why does your presence make me
feel so unnerved? every night i speak to my inner child
but it's more than that
there's an aspect we like to forget
that is more painful than seeing us
harming the inner child
it is who is doing the harming
it is our shadow
the shadow arts are no small fleet
it takes bravery, courage, and above all nothing to lose
to make peace with one's shadow the ones who try and fail
are alarmed by the awful screeches of their shadow
as soon as they close their eyes
but those who listen, keep their eyes closed
keep inquiring more about the source of the pain
the shadow will remain, but a friend you will gain
Interesting enough, I enjoy doing statistics when in the company of a classmate or even a friend. As I talk through the concepts out loud, it begins to make more sense.
I've been thinking as the weather gets warmer, at least for us here on the East Coast, the sudden change in dynamic as well as the thought of "this is the final cold week of the season" is always around the corner. By me, we are still filling up the pellet stove and tonight it will be cold again. I keep wishing for a speedy return of summer so my semester will end and I can swim out on the lake again. I am sure everyone is looking forward to a better tomorrow at some point of the day. But we must remember, that just as the seasons changing bring promises of better tomorrows, it is in the present moment we can find stillness and ease. It is late as I write this. As I am about to go off for some scheduled TV time. I barely have the chance to watch TV anymore. But I will tonight. Healing isn’t linear. Healing isn’t devoid of pleasure. Healing is tricky and messy, and an art. Thank you for reading.
Shanti Shanti Shanti
Peace, Peace, Peace

Philosophy #1 To convey its spiritual message and guide sessions , yoga often uses the #imagery of a tree with roots, a trunk, branches , blossoms , and fruits.

.r.ebuild bridges between us. The bridge across is where magic happens. This spectacular nature is not found in the fleeting beauty and majesty of the view but in the connection, the link, the joining and the compromise.... To truly live as a heavenly man, as the divine masculine, as the hero in my story I must stop searching for perfection; utopia is a fairytale, a fallacy of white knights and princesses, of bliss without struggle... The real world is the difference between the peaks and valleys, the journey between and the hike up to the momentary view.... The bridge is the place we must meet if we desire change, love, peace and contentedness. #bridge #philosophy #naturepics #princesses #knights #RAWr #bridgewithaview #yogicphilosophy #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #yoda #yodaeverydamnday #fitness #outdoorfitness #hike #squamishadventures #rivers #dontgochasingwaterfalls #tlc #uphillbattle #mountaintown #mountains #treehuggers #squamish #quest #rapids #outdooradventures #photography #transformah #adventureswithharry @eventologycanada Www.rawr-transformations.com

Have you ever had this happen? You're out and about, having a good time, one thing leads to another and you all of the sudden have a shattered phone? I don't suppose this led to laughter and "let's get ice cream." But for me it did. 🍦 • Situations that are out of our control and that are painful or stressful are the perfect opportunity to practice yoga. These times and problems can be called "duhka" in the practice. Duhka has many translations (difficulty, sorrow, pain, etc) so it's important for me to go to the root: duh (bad) and kha (axel-hole) Stay with me! Instead of thinking of the things as inherently bad or wrong, we can think of it here as not functioning or not fitting or not aligned with our true selves. Square peg, round hole kind of thing. • So what does this have to do with a broken phone screen? Well, duhka happens. 💩 Times when things don't go our way, happen. But by breathing deeply and recognizing that I am not my phone, I can let those feelings of uneasiness pass. I can also remind myself that it WILL pass, because duhka and all things are impermanent. • INQUIRY: When was a time you experienced huge duhka (uneasiness or discomfort) and how did you get through it? • #summerinasnap #anthrocontest @anthropologie @anthro_minnesota #broken #brokenphone #brokenscreen #brokenphonescreen #duhka #yoga #laughitoff #icecreamheals @ap_simpson #yogicphilosophy #sanskrit

Sometimes we don’t realise how special things are till we are woken up to what is infront us as being totally awe inspiring ... now this may just look like my morning tea mug & some (of the best I’ve over had) chai tea .... but this is in fact a little awakening ... u see I really wanted a mug from @peacharoo yet all the mugs I wanted were sold ... sad & disappointed I let go of my desire to have such a mug, carrying on with daily life .... then the other day I was with my amazing midwife @louisedavidmidwifelc & she said “oh look that’s @peacharoo mug - I just ordered a special set for my beloved” .... 🤯 there is was the gluttony of my “needs” missing that the gold was right there in the palm of my hands - E.V.E.R.Y phukin morning 😌 so much joy when humility wakes us up through connection, communication & sharing our lives with others. By being vulnerable to change & open to learning about how the smallest simple thing may offer the deepest lesson in life .... so much gratitude to this moment ... as it reminds me of how magik there is in the universe - singing it’s wisdom to us in every moment to be aware & intentional beings on this plane 🎶🎶🎶 . . . #magik #lessonsoflife #consciousawareness #lovingawareness #potteryart #coalcoast #bestchaiever #pathofawakening #littlethings #yogicphilosophy #livingphilosophy #littlebitofmagik #liferefinementtherapies #nattyism #bewhatyoulove #hathors #universe #energymedicine #frequencyhealing (at Corrimal, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COgX31ngDkU/?igshid=govqyx66a98f

An invitation to look more deeply at who you are, the Wednesday webinar is an open discussion of your self and your identity. Using traditional Yogic, Buddhist and Positive Psychology teachings, we will explore how our connection to our sense of self evolves as our life experience changes.
Are you suffering from a misunderstanding that then yogic texts call avidya - a basic ignorance of your self and the connection to the universe? If so we can work through this and help you
Avidya is a deep missing of the fundamentals of life - the connection to the intuition and to the greater universe. Sop many of us are struggling for connection - we rely far too heavily on scientific statistics to guide our decision making. It is from ignoring often strong intuitive cues that we get ourselves into the most personal despair.
