Vulnerability 08/28/2009
 
"The Peaceful Warrior's life is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability. It is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about Love. Love is the Warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives Life, not death" - Dan Millman

It's easy to forget that anger/fear and love are on the same spectrum.  When your anger appears it's because you are protecting something vulnerable inside of you. If you look closer into that vulnerability you'll see that love surrounds it.  That is a good thing.  Often times we protect what we love.  Can you learn to stand in your vulnerability?

Listening. 08/19/2009
 
"Listening is a form of accepting". -Stella Terrill Mann
This is a perfect quote for Yoga Nidra.  Yoga Nidra opens a pathway to your subconscious.  You are not battling with distractions or thoughts ( once you are able to get past them initially) which leaves you in a state of receptivity.  This is where you plant seeds for stress release, peace, happiness, etc.

Work and Play 08/12/2009
 
"Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor."
-Paul Hawken
Who says work can't be joyful?  The thought of "work" lends itself to be something of a downer for many of us.  But what if we reworked the definition and work felt like "play"?  How does that feel?  If that isn't working for you in your current work environment, what can you change that will make waking up feel exciting and going to bed seem like a temporary distraction?
