Breathe. Mindfullness. Insight.

I hope you enjoy reading the following journal entries.  Some of the topics are based on questions from students in my yoga class and others may be points of interest based on my experiences. 

I am not suggesting I am an expert in any of these topics, however I do rely on my training and practice when I write about yoga, meditation, and Buddhism. 

I share these stories with you hoping you find them interesting and are able to gain insight into topics that may help you on your own personal journey.   

As the Buddha once said to his disciples;

“Don’t blindly believe what I say. Don’t believe me because others convince you of my words. Don’t believe anything you see, read, or hear from others, whether of authority, religious teachers or texts. Don’t rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don’t infer or be deceived by appearances. Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion. Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real.”

I always felt this was good advice and something I truly believe.  No matter where the teaching comes from it is up to you to test it and discover if it works for you. The only way you can do this is to experience it for yourself.
