Spring Equinox Rising

September 29, 2020 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Sonya Simpson, SSY Sonya Simpson Yoga Have you felt a slow rising of energy over the past few weeks or days? A gentle nudge from within encouraging you to start creating and building?

How to Use The Power of The Second Chakra to Access Joy

July 6, 2017 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by Sherida Mullings, Purusha Yogi The extra bit of sunlight has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

Obama: It's a tough job...

Watching the news recently, I was moved to tears during footage of the devastation in the Gulf of Mexico. Remembering Alys's great article Exposing oneself to the news – what’s the real story?, I was mindful of staying open and non-judgmental of what I was watching. I wanted to be able to see what was truly going on, beyond ignorance or avidya. As I watched, an angry man flashed before the screen and said: Shame on you BP! The news shifted to the latest political goings-on about who … [Read more...]

February 16, 2009 by Seka Ojdrovic-Phillips 2 Comments

  Finding something to passionately believe in is indeed daunting, but immensely rewarding.  Discover who you are to discover what you passionately believe in. By guest author Seka Ojdrovic I was given an amazing Christmas gift this year. My aunt had taken it on herself to translate from Serbian to English a story written by my grandfather about an experience of his during World War 2. He and his fellow patriots were told that they would be taken from former Yugoslavia … [Read more...]
