The Yamas and Niyamas, Deborah Adele. Yoga North, Duluth. Twin Ports Bridge Festival. Buddhist Temple, Korea. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be?

Life on Parq Pointistan: Another Opportunity For Forgiveness Lost?

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011/05/another-opportunity-for-forgiveness.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Monday, May 2, 2011. Another Opportunity For Forgiveness Lost? This blog was adapted for MPR and published on May 4, 2011. Have we learned nothing from 9/11 and its aftermath? Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," and that statement still rings true today. How many deaths will it take? As long as we remain blind to our common humanity and hate one another, the cycle of violence will continue. As long as we deny our responsibility as a global superpower...

Life on Parq Pointistan: February 2011

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Monday, February 21, 2011. Week 1: Ahimsa, Non-violence and Balance. Act on of the messages of your body and explore what balance looks like for you.notice the effect on you and on others.". Like I said, I thought it would be easy. I tried to do what I usually do, only the social floodgates burst open upon me and I was swept up into staying up late, drinking more wine than usual, sleeping in, not walking Che as much, not reading by the fire and taking more naps. Not to mentio...

Life on Parq Pointistan: March 2011

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Week 2: Satya- Truthfullness. My practice in truthfullness actually ended up lasting a couple of weeks, rather than one; questions, experiements and events all piggy backing on each other. The question I chose for reflection was: "This week observe the difference between nice and real. Notice situations where you were nice. What did this experience invoke in you. What were the results? Notice situations where you were real. What were the results? I did n...

Life on Parq Pointistan: April 2011

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Bramacharya: Knowing What's Enough or Non-Excess. I always think of food first when I think of Bramacharya, or non-excess. In the Yama's and Niyamas, Deborah states, "I know firsthand the misery of a too full stomach.As I sit in the heaviness of excess, I find myself once again in disbelief that I have done this to myself.All I can do is suffer and watch how overindulgance has imposed itself on the joy of the moment." (p.76). And that is exactly what I h...

Life on Parq Pointistan: Aparigraha: What We Possess, Possesses Us

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011/05/aparigraha-what-we-possess-possesses-us.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Thursday, May 12, 2011. Aparigraha: What We Possess, Possesses Us. The nature of all things is change. One could even say that the only constant in this life. Change. And yet there always seems to be the impetus towards attachment and clinging. Aparigraha, which means non-possessiveness, is a call to come alive in the moment, to move on, to change, to become present to the natural unfolding of our lives by not clinging. This lovely May morning, I sit trusting the uncertainty of l...

Life on Parq Pointistan: January 2011

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Monday, January 31, 2011. Celebrating the Sacred Feminine. I attended a workshop at Yoga North recently called, "Down There." It was a wonderful educational experience and revolved around the pelvic floor, the net of muscles at the bottom of the pelvis that support our internal musco-skeletal structures and hold the contents of the pelvis securely in place. I'm speaking of the muscles that surround the urethra, vagina, anus and run from the pubic bone to the tail bone. Coming int...

Life on Parq Pointistan: May 2011

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Friday, May 27, 2011. What Yoga Means to Me. This is an excerpt of something I wrote as a part of my 500hr. teacher training program. Yoga for me has become a life style. Yoga is a state of being. Yoga is union; of breath, body, mind, heart and subsequently, intention, thought, words and action. At this place on my path I feel propelled forward by something that I cannot explain and as I let go more and more into that flow, amazing things happen and I am able to see more clearly ...

Life on Parq Pointistan: Asteya or Non-Stealing: Living with Integrity and Reciprocity

http://lifeonriverviewstreet.blogspot.com/2011/04/asteya-or-non-stealing-living-with.html

Life on Parq Pointistan. Monday, April 4, 2011. Asteya or Non-Stealing: Living with Integrity and Reciprocity. Asteya or non-stealing is the third Yama in yoga's ethical code. Each of us steal in many ways, every day-from each other, the earth, ourselves and from the future. This can show up looking like arrogance, one upmanship, by not being present when listening to others, jealousy, and excessive consumption of resources from the earth, to name a few. Deborah makes a good point on page 62 of. Using on...
