Every so often, (and especially after we have encountered some life-changing experiences, whether they be illness, job-change, relationship disruptions and the like) it becomes valuable to take some time out to assess what it is that’s important and where you are headed with your life. Having done that the next thing is to take a [...]
Relax – a practical philosophy!

For me, Yoga is a process of deconstruction. Of letting go of everything I thought I’d learned. The Yoga tradition says that all information, all wisdom is available in Universal Mind/Consciousness. And if one is open enough, it starts to come though. When we get stuck, when we reach an impasse it is helpful to [...]

Sitting Like a Mountain

There is an enormous amount of research happening about the brain, mind, and consciousness. Science knows a hundred times more today than it did in 1990 about what happens to the brain when we engage in contemplative practices like meditation. This is great news for those who say “I can’t meditate”! There is now good [...]
