Everything you need to know is right there inside, waiting for you to tap in and discover it, and then hopefully do something about it.

What you practice on the mat is what you end up doing in your life.

Say you're doing a headstand. The moment you think to yourself, "Wow, I'm doing this pose!" is usually the moment you'll topple out of it.

Everything we need is already there. The challenge is letting go of all our stuff in the way.

With meditation, you become a sensitized superhero, completely in control, with endless possibilities at your fingertips.

All the body's systems and processes - your nerves, your emotions - take instruction from what is going on with your breath.

External means of escape like alcohol, drug use, and even overeating are a means of pushing uncertainty away and covering it up temporarily. And they may feel comforting for a moment, but I don't need to tell you that eventually they will cause more trouble than they ever solve.
