As summer moves toward its close, a common theme has begun to surface in my life, the lives of those around me and in the experiences of many of my clients. The ‘winds of change’ are brewing. Change is always in the air, but never so much as when we enter the transitional season of autumn.

A violet can never become a rose, but the violet in itself can be a perfect flower.
This quote is timely, and to remember WHY we do Yoga…. Krishnamurti incidentally studied with the same master teacher as my teacher, AG Mohan did. His wisdom below:
Yoga exercises are excellent; the speaker does them every day, for an hour or more; but that is merely physical exercise, to keep the body healthy, and so [...]

Self-knowledge
I like this quote from J. Krishnamurti as it represens a core theme of his teachings - go inside for the truth! We often spend our days looking for leaders, gurus, teachers, books…outside help and the truth is only within ourselves.

How about
NO RESOLUTIONS THIS YEAR?
Last year at this time, I was feeling quite pleased with myself for the neatly organized and very comprehensive list of goals I had developed for the New Year.
