“Life is nothing but Alertness. You can only be Alert if you are wise & disciplined.” –Yogi Bhajan
Mudra: Sit with a straight spine, chin in, chest out. Bend the elbows into the sides of the body, and place the palms in front of the diaphragm area, flat and face up. Criss cross the finger area only, left on bottom, right on top. The thumbs will be extended away from the rest of the hand, and point straight ahead. Make sure they are not stretched back so far that they point to the right & left, but are pointing exactly straight ahead. (more…)

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter? —Woody Allen,
The soul comes through the human to experience duality, the world of good and evil, opposites. If God is so great, how can there be so much suffering?
One of my yoga teachers was telling a story about someone in their family who, while meditating went to the place beyond time and space where souls decide to come into this life. She related that these souls are fighting for a chance at human life. Being human is so great that souls fight to come here to earth and angels are jealous of humans because of all they are able to experience. Yet, when we get here, each of us suffers.

Why on earth would a soul want to come into that? Perhaps it is to become more powerful than God. (more…)
