A small child sees everything as an opportunity.

I wonder at what point we begin to decide that certain things aren’t?

I have been taking yoga for years and recently found a great new studio. What I am learning is how to “be yoga” in my life and present to each moment. Spirit, focus, godliness lies within, not within a pose/asana.

I wonder how much time I’ve spent “doing” yoga without “being” yoga?

Thank you, Kelli Vestal!

Our World, Our Family

I wonder what people might not consider as essential items in life. Pleasure boats, vacation homes, make-up, beer, televisions, sound systems, movies, the list is probably pretty long and would certainly be contested.

I wonder what we might achieve if we all agreed not to stop buying these “luxuries” but rather to spend half again as much of what we spend on any of these things on finding real and lasting solutions to issues that affect all of humankind, like curing cancer, ending hunger and persistent starvation, providing crisis response teams around the world for natural disasters, etc.? And most of all I wonder who would feel best about all of that? And by the way, I wonder what impact it might have on the economy? (I think I may have over-momented myself!)

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
