Power of intention, Wayne
His philosophy is pure and simple, “The law of attraction is this: You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.”
“Most people’s mistake in trying to apply the law of attraction is they want things; they demand things. But God doesn’t work that way,” continues Dyer. “It’s all about allowing.”

Beautiful means just being and loving you!
There’s only one of each of us, and this is our chance to really live, so why waste our hard-earned energy trying to gain acceptance from everyone around us and trying to make ourselves look perfect to feel loved?
When you start down that road to self acceptance—that road to truly loving who you are, flaws and all—it’s then that you can truly open...

The power of forgiveness & letting go
“The very person you find it hardest to forgive is the one you need to let go of the most. Forgiveness means letting go. It has nothing to do with condoning behavior, it’s just letting the whole thing go. We do not have to know how to forgive. All we need to do is be willing to forgive. The Universe will take care of the hows.” Louis Hay

Asana
According to B.K.S. Iyengar, “Asana brings steadiness, health, and lightness of limb…The yogi realizes that his life and all its activities are part of the divine action in nature, manifesting and operating in the form of man. In the beating of his pulse and the rhythm of his respiration, he recognizes the flow of the seasons and the throbbing of universal life. His body is a temple...

10 ways 2 live off the mat
By, Jennifer White
I don’t have as much time for my yoga mat as I wish I did. Don’t get me wrong, my mat time is precious and something that I commit to almost daily. Yet there are regularly days when I wish I could get on my mat for a good hour and a half and I end up lucky just to have 30 minutes. So what I’ve started to do is realize how I’m practicing my yoga even when my mat and I are...

PRATYAHARA
When this stage is reached, there is rhythmic control of the breath, and the senses turn inwards, rather than chasing after external objects of desire. According to Iyengar, “The mind, in truth, is for mankind the cause of bondage and liberation; it brings bondage if it is bound to objects of desire, and liberation when it is free from objects. There is bondage when the mind craves,...

Buddha: The power of your thoughts
“The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.” — Buddha

Energetically, bandhas are...

Brahmacharya
BRAHMACHARYA means self-restraint. It is sometimes translated as celibacy, which comes from the belief that loss of semen leads to loss of vitality. But this does not imply that yogis should be celibate; on the contrary, many great yogis have been householders with families. Without experiencing human love and happinesss, it is not possible to experience divine love. Brahmacharya also means one...

Asteya
ASTEYA means not stealing the property or possessions of others. Being envious of or begrudging another; cheating someone with sweet words; gaining selfish ends under the guise of truthfulness: all are to be abandoned. Heaps of gems fall before the yogi who practices asteya, and he becomes the abode of all gems. ASTEYA PRATISHTHAYAM SARVARATNA UPASTHANAM Upon being established in non-stealing,...

Satya: Truthfulness
Satya means truthfulness. It also means refraining from speaking if the truth will do harm. According to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, if one follows the truth in this manner, all one’s words will become true and all one’s desires will be fulfilled. SATYA PRATISHTHAYAM KRIYA PHALA SHRAYATVAM Upon being established in truth, there is surety in the result of actions. Yoga Sutra 2.36

By Roo Mulligan
How many times have you said, “It’s Wednesday, only two more days until the weekend!”? Most people stumble through each day planning and waiting for the next big adventure; the party they have coming up on Saturday night, the vacation they’ll take this summer, the concert they’ll attend in a few months.
We think of a normal day as something to get through until the real fun...

“When we seek happiness through accumulation, either outside of ourselves—from other people, relationships, or material goods—or from our own self-development, we are missing the essential point. In either case we are trying to find completion. But according to Buddhism, such a strategy is doomed. Completion comes not from adding another piece to ourselves but from surrendering...

Tittibhasana – Postura de la Luciérnaga.
Las posturas de equilibrio sobre los brazos son divertidas y vigorizantes. Requieren de flexibilidad, fuerza y concentración, así que presentan un desafío para casi todos. Esta postura de equilibrio sobre los brazos en particular fortalece la parte alta del cuerpo, los brazos y las muñecas, y a la vez estira la columna vertebral y las piernas, y tonifica los órganos abdominales.

Practice, practice, practice
The practice of asanas and pranayama is learning to control the body and the senses so the Inner light may come forth. That light is the same for the whole world and it is possible for man to experience this light, his own Self through correct Yoga practice. This is the natural outcome of a good practice and one will gradually learn to control the mind because one eventually will come to...

Pratyahara
“After asana & pranayama are perfect, pratyahara, sense control [the fifth limb of ashtanga yoga], follows. The first four limbs are external exercises: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama. The last four are internal, and they automatically follow when the first four are mastered. Pratyahara means that anywhere you look, you see God. Good mind control gives that capacity, so that when you...

Forgiveness helps you let go and be happy.
I’ll be less anxious, more upbeat, and healthier if I do.
The trouble is, most of us don’t know how to do it. There’s no playbook for forgiveness, no manual for getting past betrayals, disappointments, and hurts. This is where Luskin comes in. He’s the master of forgiveness how-to. He believes forgiveness is a trainable skill that everyone can—and should—learn.
