There’s a lot of pressure in the yoga community and in many spiritual circles to “be positive!” and to “think positive thoughts and positive things will happen!”...

 

Editor´s Note from Brooke Nisbet: Watch your thoughts because they very much become reality. If you're often having negative thoughts about yourself, your health, situations, your job and so on...then your body is listening and the Universe is too...and giving you more of what you focus on. Choose postitive thoughts and gratitude to help you mind and body tune into what will help you feed your sould and fine peace. Read more for Ally's thoughts.

 

Yoga

 

Editor's Note from Brooke Nisbet: Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (or channel cleaning breath) in yoga, has many benefits. It lowers heart rate and reduces stress and anxiety. It also synchronizes the two hemispheres of the brain
Additionally, it is said to purify the subtle energy channels (nadis) of the body so the prana flows more easily during pranayama practice. You usually practice this breath before your yoga practice. Namaste.

March 1, 2013. I've been teaching class on Friday nights for 10 years now. Hard to believe as the time has flown by. The reason I keep teaching on Friday's is because more than any other day it is a day of recapitulation to make way for a more easeful weekend...

Editor's Note from Brooke Nisbet: One of many things we learn in yoga is to practice "non-attachment". This means not being attached to something sad, happy, enjoyable, etc. Have and feel the emotions as they are happening, but don't take them with you or keep looking to have them again, for the same reasons, in the future. This includes having expectations...when you get attached to how you think something will turn out was supposed to be, it can affect you...instead practice non-attachment.

When the mind isn’t functioning properly, performing even the simplest task is a difficult proposition. The problem of confused thinking is one that only seems to get worse as time passes...

 

Editor's Note from Brooke Nisbet: Does your mind chatter away incessantly? Most likely, it does. One way to quiet the mind and find deeper, richer peace and clarity is through meditation. Dhyana, which is sanskrit for meditation, is one of the 8 limbs of yoga. Yoga itself is practiced to actually prepare you for meditation. It gets all the fidgets and stiffness out of the body, so that you can sit quietly, for a very long time in deep dhyana…with the ultimate goal of samadhi (enlightenment). Read more to find out how meditation can quiet the monkey mind!
