I know I write a lot about yoga. But I also love running, and yoga actually is helping me increase my productivity on the road. I used to run long distance before getting into my practice. I loved it. It was relaxing, gave me time to think, and reduced stress, too. What it also did, […]
Got a headache? I do tonight. Here’s what I am going to go do right after I log off. It has really helped me in the past, hope it works wonders again tonight.
It’s called the Supported Headstand, or Salamba Sirsasana. And it goes like this:
-Put a pad or your mat on the floor, and kneel down
- Clasp your hands, intertwining […]
Well, it’s not earth-shattering news, but apparently, there is a new category for folks who are vegetarians MOST of the time :-) You’re called flexitarians, and around Thanksgiving, I have to admit, I become one of you, too.
In fact, the food industry is targeting these folks, providing vegetarian fare with just a wee bit of protein […]
It’s winter in the northern hemisphere, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve already seen a fair number of pretty cold days.
For me, this isn’t such a bad thing. I use this time to turn my thoughts inward, and that normally benefits my practice and my outlook.
What I do find helps make the transition to these homebound days […]
I do everything I can to watch what I eat. Sometimes, too much. Already a vegetarian. Thinking about going vegan. But first, I think I might go to a “sub-class” of vegetarian nutrition–the raw food vegetarian.
It makes sense. Raw vegetables, fruits and greens are the healthiest things you can put into your body. But there are people out there […]
I can be one anxious person. Doesn’t always matter what the topic is, before I know it, I am internally tied-up in knots. But I do have a secret weapon to fight off the stress–the Bow.
Well, the Archer’s Bow, actually. Appropriately named, because when you do it correctly, your body will look like an archer’s […]
That’s right. Got the results from my physical last week, and they were awesome. I am never sure–at least not since my bout with breast cancer a few years back–how the test results are going to come out. But I felt pretty good going in, and I have been working hard to change my diet, de-stress whenever […]
I have written about it here, as have many others. One of the principal goals of meditation is to build mindfulness within ourselves, and to show us all how to live and thrive in the present.
What I would like to see many more of us understand is what an important role meditation can play in helping us heal […]
Whether you’re on the vegetarian track or would like to be, rice is a great way to add important B vitamins and fiber to your diet. It is an important part of the daily diet of over half the world–and a sacred ingredient in places like Tibet and Indonesia, where the rice goddess Dewi Sri–and rice– […]
The healing ways of Ayurveda are so plentiful, they can even make getting up in the morning a pleasure.
Try some of these rituals for a lovely, relaxing way to start your day tomorrow. Give them a try and see for yourself. You might even want to make them a part of your daily routine.
As part […]
