Thankful!


There are so many things to be thankful for.  I was going to list them out, but it would have just gotten ridiculous.  Mostly I'm thankful for my loving and supportive family, my friends, the job that I love, and the fact that I am fortunate enough to be able to support myself.  I'm also really thankful for the time I get to spend with my best friend.  I'm grateful that I have been blessed with a more open mind, and have been able to continue to make improvements in my life.  I'm also very thankful for the relationship I've developed with God.  Through his grace and blessings, I'm happier than I've ever been. 

What are you thankful for?

Yoga Terminology

I've really been getting into my yoga practices.  Mostly, I believe because I'm trying to not only deepen my practice, but enhance my life through mantras.  (More on that another time.)  Something I'm also trying is to get more involved in things that I'm interested in.  For example, I enjoy yoga.  But, in the past, if someone had asked me to tell them about yoga and practice, I would have told them, "Well... I do a 30 minute at home practice a couple of days a week?"  I think I can go deeper in life, relationships, my thoughts, and my interests.  Hence... I looked up the history of yoga and some common yoga terms that I should be familiar with.   Asanas ("seat") (ah-sahn-ah) : Physical postures of yoga. Chakra: energy center; the basic system has seven chakras (root, sacrum, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown), each of which is associated with a color, element, syllable, significance, etc. Dharma: truth; the teaching...
