There’s that moment when it’s all done, when you’ve got it all together. That’s really what you are looking for, in all the things you do. You’re looking for that moment when all the efforting stops, when all the self doubt falls away. When you have a...

Meditation is a natural and easy state, something everyone experiences. Just as every human being experiences sleep, they also experience meditation. Yet yogic meditation takes you deeper – by using stillness as an entry point deeper within. Deepening into your own Self, you experience fullness, ...

Yoga says you can live every moment of your life in an attunement to the highest purpose of human life, in attunement to Divine Consciousness. And that you get your answers, you get your impulse to answer, you get your directives from that deeper, more expanded, more...

God is very close to you. You may think God is far away, but God is very close to you – always. You’re simply looking in outward, in the wrong direction. Your field of awareness is like your visual field, narrowed to the objects in front of you, with a little peripheral vision to give you some br...

What makes you feel good? You have a list of things that make you feel good. You’re really quite consistent at doing them. Is yoga on the list? Is meditation on the list? Is chanting on the list? Do you they make you feel good? Consider how you feel now, we’ve done four chants, and after each one...

You need a body to be here. Your body is important. You want it to last a long time, so you can experience this amazing world, so you can learn your lessons and give back. Sometimes people think that getting enlightened is about transcending your body. Nope. It’s about being present within your b...

Yes, the knowing of your essence, the knowing of the truth of your own existence, this makes you wise. Wisdom blossoms forth from within. The knowing of your essence, the truth of your own existence, makes you wise and steady in that wisdom. When your heart waffles with the wind it’s not strong, ...

Everyone says “Happy New Year.” Hopefully you are considering what improvements you would like to make in your life — New Years resolutions are all about how you can be happier.

You do things that you hope will make you feel good. This is true all year long, actually. Now is the time you can s...

Your face, your body, your spine particularly, is a road map of all the places you’ve been, and all the thoughts you’ve thought, and all of the things you hold dear, and all of the things that you reject and are afraid of. That creates certain tensions and imbalances in your spine, not just in yo...

Your mind loves to draw dotted lines. They separate you from others. They separate you from God. They separate you from you. I usually talk about the One Divine Reality by using the name of Shiva, or sometimes I use the name God – but your mind begins to install dotted lines, as though Shiva is d...

Just like the air currents will move the water vapors through the air and you get the everchanging shape of the clouds, this happens in your mind. Oh yes, constant, everchanging patterns. Some repetition, perhaps a lot of repetition. But that's because you identify with certain patterns, certain ...

It’s such an auspicious time, the night before Christmas. It’s easy to feel God’s presence, almost like a blanket wrapped around you with the corner tucked in. Before yoga, I treasured the sacred space of this holy night. It was a rare and precious time. A time that I felt close to God. But yoga ...

I love Christmas carols but, as a yogi, I hear different lines than when I was growing up. “Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright…” — yes, we want all to be calm and all to be bright. This song and others are pointing to the inner light of a babe whose birth is remembered now. How...

You have a heart of gold. You have proven it so many times, by helping others, by sharing what you have, by your caring about those you cannot reach, like people in the news or suffering from the current economy. You care and you act on your caring in so many ways. My Baba said you must have a go...

When I was growing up, again and again I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” No one ever suggested I could be a yoga teacher, or a meditation teacher. Or a theoretical astrophysicist, for that matter. I wanted something that wasn’t listed as an option, but I didn’t know what it ...

Everybody meditates, but they don’t think, “Oh I’m going to meditate now.” They fall into a natural and easy, I’ll call it a pause, in the midst of things. Maybe it’s while they are sipping their tea, or their morning coffee. They take a sip, and they just sit for a moment. And then they open the...

Pilgrimage is a sacred journey, practiced in Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and native American traditions, as well as yoga. It is one of the practices that has done me a world of good for almost 50 years, beginning with my first trip to Ganeshpuri. Yet any and every holy site is importan...

Even your name, you learned your name. You think it's such an integral part of you, but it's something you learned. You learned how to brush your teeth. You learned how to walk. All these things are things you learned. Which means you acquired information from outside and you integrated it into a...
