There is nothing that exists, that is not existing perfectly, which includes every thought we have, every word we speak, and every action we commit. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me, with you, with them.

This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.

When you're experiencing what's happening right now, all of a sudden everything that happened to you in your entire life melts away.

Exactly like everything around us, we are made of the same elements of this earth and are totally dependent on this earth for our sustenance.

Most of us can agree there is nothing more special, mysterious, mystical, powerful and important than life!

We are creatures on this planet that have the capacity of self-awareness, playing out our role just the same as all else.

One thing I have learned in my 46 years on this planet is that the greatest opportunity for growth and understanding comes through the challenges that we encounter.
