It’s Only A Body
06 Jul 2010 ~ 1 Comment ~ Categories: blog • body • wellness
I recently found out some very heavy news. A dear friend of mine tested positive with such a high probability to get breast and uterine cancer (she has the gene that causes both) that she is having all her female parts removed. You heard me right. This year, my friend’s breasts and uterus will be [...]
The Good Stuff
29 Jun 2010 ~ 0 Comments ~ Categories: blog • wellness
So if you are buying things anyway, why not get the good stuff, right? I do fancy a “less is more” way of living in the world, but if you are going to buy, I suggest it be the good stuff. In my book, at least a little of a good thing is way better [...]

Ode to the Urgent Sun
15 Jun 2010 ~ 0 Comments ~ Categories: blog • eco-living • wellness
The sun is egging me on,
Urging me to GROW.
Unrelenting and full of resolve,
Piercing and blistering,
Hot and un-bothered,
Doing his thing,
Creating energy,
Melting things,
Blossoming things,
Hatching things —
In his Golden Light.
And when the sunlight hits just right, in that Golden Hour, I feel him entering my skin, diving deep into my flesh, through [...]
Grounded Vinyasa Yoga

Let’s talk about yoga, California yoga. We are a far cry from India, let’s be honest. Around these parts, San Francisco and most of California, Vinyasa yoga or Flow yoga, as it has come to be called, is the most widely practiced. Its active style is a well-matched entrée for a Western results-oriented audience into [...]
I Like the Quiet

I like the quiet. A lot.
The quiet can be downright intoxicating or whatever the opposite of intoxicating is. When I’ve gotten really quiet, as quiet and still as I have ever been, on silent meditation retreats, I have sunk deep into love with the silence and it has perhaps been my very best [...]

Let It All Hang Out On the Dance Floor
18 May 2010 ~ 1 Comment ~ Categories: blog • body • wellness
Sometimes you gotta let it all hang out. The dance floor seems as good a place as any. In the right setting, that is. Or perhaps just in the privacy of your own home, but wherever you choose to let it out, I highly recommend dancing.
Recently I got talking about dance to one of my [...]
It’s Not What Happens, It’s How You ARE With What Happens
04 May 2010 ~ 1 Comment ~ Categories: blog • mind • wellness
Have you ever had something really bug you, totally fire you up, hurt you or on the other hand make you so, so happy? Yes. Of course. Okay, so then have you ever had a similar thing happen, only this time something has shifted, and this time that same “thing” didn’t bother or excite you [...]
