Yogini’s Quest

As the mind, so the man; bondage or liberation are in your own mind.
I have had so many overwhelming things going on lately.  It’s hard to use my intuition and gut feeling when I have a lot of fear surrounding everything.  I had a second interview for the job I mentioned the other day.  There [...]

I have discussed this topic for forever with my friends.  It is said that a woman should not practice the first three days of her cycle.  I suppose it all depends on the flow though.  My girlfriend is really tiny and only has a period for 3 days, so she only takes day 1 off.  [...]

I randomly applied for a new job.  Lots of fears have the potential to run rampant with where I’m at, where I’m going, my goals, etc.  I’m hoping this position will encourage my yoga and support me financially.  As most of you know, at my current job, my boss would rather think of us as [...]

It’s time for me to set my spirit free
It’s super hard to be right here, right now.  Of course, I am so quick to tell my friends who are freaking about whatever their life situation might be that everything will be okay – but they need to be where they are, right now.
I’m already worrying [...]

To deserve and to expect are words that baffle me.  For example, I think I deserve higher than what I’m being paid, but I expect that my boss will undermine me at a personal level and I’ll never bring it up again.
I work out of a home office.  For any previous position I’ve held anywhere, [...]

I have a really bad habit of telling people they can do things a certain way, even though I want things a different way.  I guess it’s me not wanting to impose (and be seemingly less selfish).  For example, I may tell person x, “hey don’t worry about hanging out later, I know you’ve got [...]

Thursday mornings are improv style.  Generally, I take Thursday mornings as a break from the sometime mundane and frustrating aspects of my regular mysore practice.  Most of the time though, I really wish I could do my full practice everyday.  I almost was going to practice down the street at a small studio which offers [...]

My right wrist is totally bothering me.  It’s been bothering me for a quite some time now, I’d estimate somewhere around 2mos.  It does kind of freak me out a little because any sort of pain or discomfort for this long can’t be a good sign.  I do notice I have a tendency to put [...]

I randomly met AJ this past weekend.  She’s so tiny.  I happen to think there’s a lot of bigger women at our yoga shala – well, actually, I would argue the average height is somewhere between 5′4″ & 5′5″.  I wonder, if the words I write make me seem like I would be smaller or [...]

On a comment on my previous post, I made the bold comment of saying that men and women are not the same.  I know, it seems obvious right?  We aren’t equal.  I know, I know, women fought bra-less to get us to be considered as equal, for equal pay, jobs, etc.  Bottom line is we [...]
