I believe myself capable of great things. Some days it feels as if I can't do it alone. It is nice to know I don't have to.

Follow your nature. The practice is really about uncovering your own pose; we have great respect for our teachers, but unless we can uncover our own pose in the moment, it's not practice - it's mimicry. Rest deeply in Savasana every day. Always enter that pratyahara (withdrawn state) every day. And just enjoy yourself. For many years I mistook discipline as ambition. Now I believe it to be more about consistency. Do get on the mat. Practice and life are not that different.

We are being called into realization with great urgency and extraordinary beauty, and oftentimes not without difficulty.

Do not look for joy anywhere else. It is living in you, and gives meaning to all Existence.

Keep your drunken electrons dancing!

Joy is big. Joy lives in your own drunken electrons, billions of them, spinning and dancing without end in their own intimate Universe, longing for You.

Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.
