Yoga = taking a sledgehammer to your ego
like today, when I sat cross-legged in our final meditation for a belly-themed class and ended up crying endless tears of just stuff washing out of me, moving through me and breaking me open. Letting it all flood out as saltwater. Sweat and tears on the mat never leave me unchanged.
“Self-improvement can have temporary results, but lasting transformation occurs only when we honor ourselves as the source of wisdom and compassion. We are, as the eighth-century Buddhist master Shantideva pointed out, very much like a blind person who finds a jewel buried in a heap of garbage. Right here in what we’d like to throw away, in what we find repulsive and frightening, we discover the warmth and clarity of bodhichitta.”
— Pema Chodron
“Spiritual awakening doesn’t happen because you master some spiritual technique. There are lots if skillful meditators who are not awake. Awakening happens when you stop bullshitting yourself into continual nonawakening. It’s very easy to use disciplines to avoid reality rather than to encounter it. A true spirituality will have you continually facing your illusions and all the ways you avoid reality.”
— Adyashanti
“Hatred never ceases by hatred but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law.”
— Buddha
“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
— Kahlil Gibran (via thatkindofwoman)

“
If you’ve been feeling out of sync with your current work or lifestyle, and you’re currently straining to prop it up and keep it going, consider letting go. Try allowing the old world to collapse. Many or all of your fears and worries might actually come to pass, but that’s okay. You’ll cope with them, one step at a time. Other people have lived through something similar and felt better on the other side. You will too.
You don’t have to keep the old world alive. If it keeps falling apart on you, let it collapse. Experiencing the collapse isn’t as bad as fearing the collapse.
”— Steve Pavlina
Quick Yogi Tip
If you find that you’re more and more “stuck in your head,” usually the first thing that helps you move into your body is movement! Run, do yoga, dance, swim, stretch.. get that beautiful body movin’!
“Healing takes time. Despite great advances in medicine, the biggest part of your recovery is attributable to the enormous healing power inside you. The body heals itself according to its
own timetable, anxious thoughts never hasten recuperation.”
— Criswell Freeman (via yogachocolatelove)
