That Loving Feeling

That Loving Feeling

Happy Valentine’s Day! So, I have a confession to make. Even on a day like today, where love is in the air, I don’t always have “that loving feeling.” After copious hours spent pondering this dilemma, I’ve discovered that I often let my need to be right, and accompanying sense of superiority, impede my ability to love others. My rational brain suffocates my compassionate heart. Thankfully, my yoga mat is a place where I can turn to reconnect with my heart. When I do that, compassion and love arise, without any forced effort.…Read more

Big, Wonderful News!

A few months ago, I shared my heartbreak with you when I spoke about the pain of my miscarriages. And you all blew me away! Your prayers, emails, phone calls and comments blessed me profoundly.

As I have been working hard on this project, part of me has been quietly planting seeds of doubt. Now, the seeds have sprouted and…Read more
To Neti or Not to Neti

To Neti or Not to Neti

The Ayurvedic practice of neti (the Sanskrit word meaning “nasal cleansing”­) involves the use of a pot or bottle to pour a warm salt water solution into one nostril, allowing it to run out through the other, flushing out dirt, dust, pollen, pollutants, germs and bacteria-filled mucus. I’ve long be a neti-vangelist (that’s a vocal advocate of the practice of neti for those not familiar with the words I make up). I have even done visual demonstrations in my yoga classes (for those who wanted to see, of course). So when this story…Read more
