The Spell of the Shell

Convinced that we are separate, as if cast under a spell, we bump around blindly in this life-time, unable to see beyond the end of our noses. The spell is mesmerizing, hypnotic and leaves us in a kind of stupor.

The Fruit of the Practice

In the wisdom traditions of yoga and meditation, the experience of yoga samadhi is likened to the moment when fruit drops off the vine.

All is Accomplished

One of the oldest teachings in yoga proclaims that the world is complete just as it is. You may be familiar with the well known verse to purnam, “the entire,” that begins the Isha Upanishad. The notion that nothing is ever left out, that nothing is missing, has always baffled me. How …
