Living Your Gifts: Six Steps to Awakening a Yogic Heart

February 2, 2017 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

by Leza Lowitz, Sun and Moon Yoga The Japanese have a word, ikigai (生き甲斐) which means “reason for being.” In Japan, finding one’s reason for being requires a deep, long search for self. This search itself is considered central, as the discovery of one’s ikigai is what brings satisfaction and meaning. Ikigai is a compound of two Japanese words: iki meaning "life, alive" and kai "effect, result, fruit, benefit." So how do we find our ikigai? How do we discover and awaken our gifts?

Emma Mildon on How Jade Eggs can Help You Find Mula Bandha

by Kara-Leah Grant I've been seeing Emma Mildon and her new book The Soul Searcher's Handbook all over social media for the past few months.

Writer fails to tell story that connects to audience, has meltdown

by Kara-Leah Grant, Musings from the Mat It's been a bloody hard week. My PledgeMe campaign launched on Saturday and it's been a rough ride. 21 pledges in 5 days, totaling almost $900. There's a Yoga Lunchbox community in the thousands. Not a great conversion rate. A lousy conversion rate. Something was up, and I didn't know what, but it was sending my mind into a tail-spin all weekend long. And all Monday... all Tuesday... all Wednesday... Talk about needed my spiritual practice! … [Read more...]
