New

It’s hard to believe it has been a year since I last wrote here. In the fall of 2023, I made a promise to myself (and to you), to write a monthly blog post on the intersections of yoga philosophy with daily life. Yoga is a moment to moment practice, and how we choose to live each moment is up to us.

But then, life got busy. Things changed. I got caught up.

It’s time to come back to the present.

Dreams

I believe in dreaming - especially the kind that happens in the daytime, with a nice cup of tea and a lovely view of the world on the other side of the window.

I also believe in dreams. Wishes, ambitions and aspirations are all important parts of being human.

Indian Philosophy 101

Years ago, when I was an undergraduate student, I took an elective course in Indian philosophy. As a Linguistics major, I had been studying Japanese language and history, and I was drawn to the Buddhist philosophy that is so deeply woven into Japanese culture. As Buddhist traditions have their origins in India, I thought a course in Indian philosophy might provide useful context for the evolution of Buddhist sects in Japan.

I believe in Kindness…If humanity learnt to gauge its every action by the simple criterion of kindness - always to ask if it is, on balance, the kindest thing to do? - the world would be much happier. — Jan Morris
