Editor's Note from Eden Kozlowski: I just experienced my first meditation session at my local Shambhala. First time I've meditated with my eyes open. It is so great to try new things and see how "fixed" we are on the old. Here is a video by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche... 

Meditation

by Paula Davis-Laack, JD, MAPP

How happy are you and why? This is a question I spend a fair amount of time thinking about, not only as it applies to my own levels of happiness, but also as it applies to my family, friends, and the people who I work with. Since graduating with my master's degree in positive psychology, I've worked with and observed thousands of people in a wide variety of settings, and happy people just flow with the groove of life in a unique way. Here is what they do differently...

 

Editor’s Note from Eden Kozlowski: My favorite line in this article... happy people "embrace the suck." That's what meditation helps you do and, of course, why it is part of my arsenal of peace.

For a long time, I felt like I was standing on a riverbank just watching the water of life go by, too scared to jump in and play. I was waiting for the perfect current to come along that I could ride all the way to the completion of my intensely detailed life goals...

 

Editor’s Note from Eden Kozlowski: I say this in meditation class all the time (yes, this one sounds like a blah, blah, blah 'cause I say it a lot!), it is ok to have goals or ideas of what you want to accomplish but then you have to open up to more and to parts that are unknown. This is soooo hard. So many of us want the answers before we even start or to know where we are going to land. We don't know that... and, why would we want to know that... really?! Too constraining, too safe. Let go! Darling, let go! Here's is how letting go relates to life!

Editor’s Note from Eden Kozlowski: All it takes is a minute to bring awareness into your life, a minute to take back control of your brain, a minute to bring peace. What else brings such fast results? Watch Rick Hanson, PhD and try it, I think you'll dig it!

Oneness of the universe is the basis of harmony in us

Relying on the reality of transcendental self-consciousness

 

Editor's Note: It is difficult to put into words what we experience when we transcend our daily waking/sleeping/dreaming consciousness and dip into that which is pure consciousness, the source of Self. Dr. Tushar K. Ray, a biochemist for many years, now runs a yoga center in Arizona...

Editor's Note from David Pratt: In just a few minutes both beginners and longtime beginners can pick up new guidance for sitting comfortably and staying comfortable. Plus, Larry gives a simple postural adjustment that is priceless. Short and very sweet!

Editor's Note: Intriguing video comparing human consciousness to universal consciousness. The difference lies in the concept of time as a barrier which in turn is the key to manifesting desire. The purpose of meditation is to move from the limited human consciousness to the unlimited universal or God consciousness.

Meditation

 

by Anmol Mehta

Not only Kundalini Yoga, but all of Yoga is really based on the Seven Chakra System. In this system there are seven chakra points that lie along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head, and each of these chakra points is responsible for the organs and glands situation in it's region. The chakras, though, are responsible for not just the organs and glands, but they are also responsible for our various personality traits and characteristic...

"If you practice meditation,
if you practice being present,
 
then you probably have found
that there is this incessant urge..."
