Holy Disorders →
A bit of a departure from the usual, but ever since I went to a lecture a couple of years ago on the prevalence of anorexia in nuns from the 1400s, I’ve found this topic intriguing.   “Starvation was a constant for these women. It melted their flesh away, so that the beating of their hearts could be seen behind the racks of their ribs. It made them one with the poor and destitute, and...

In Therapy Forever? Enough Already.  →
“In my experience, most people seek therapeutic help for discrete, treatable issues: they are stuck in unfulfilling jobs or relationships, they can’t reach their goals, are fearful of change and depressed as a result. It doesn’t take years of therapy to get to the bottom of those kinds of problems. For some of my patients, it doesn’t even take a whole session. Therapy can — and should —...

Flow
flowyogamexico: Flow is the absence of resistance. When you bring flow into your practice, you let go into the movements and create a liquid quality that inspires deep release. It allows you to build magnificent momentum and heat and move through your practice in a effortless, seamless manner. Flow encourages meditation in motion: When you ride the flow like a wave, it moves you out of your...

Upward-facing Soldier →
Illuminating article by the director of the yoga program at Norwich University. Yoga as preparation for war. Yoga as preparation for all the tiny battles in our day-to-day lives. In the beginner’s class, it’s all I can do to keep my students breathing while they move. In the advanced class, I teach these future soldiers the profound philosophy of yoga: how to sit in a stress position and still...
