Yoga is .................

Yoga is not a form of self improvement.
Yoga is about meeting ourselves where we are, in all our beautiful imperfection.

The Power of Words

On a rainy Sunday like this. With a few words. I give you this. Maybe you`ve seen it before.
See it again. It`s beautiful. And rare.

Your secret

This luscious piece of film makes me curious, dreamy, peaceful & present......

People whose hearts are full of gratitude and appreciation are truly beautiful. A humble heart is the wellspring of great growth and development.

---- Daisaku Ikeda ------

Forgive yourself

Words from a wall in Oslo. I like my morningwalks. Short, and always some messages along the way.

Forgivness is healing.
We need to forgive and know that whatever we see in others is just a reflection of ourselves.

Respect yourself, embrace yourself, honor yourself, so you can act & behave from your heart!

How can we be more like our hearts?

"The heart is quiet rather than noisy, intuitive rather than deductive, lives entirely in the present, and is, at every moment accepting of reality as it is. Moreover, the heart does not seek to distance itself from, or dominate anything or anyone by labeling.
Rather, it begins with an awareness of its relationship with the rest of creation (and everything and everyone in it),

It accepts rather than rejects,
finding similarity rather than alienation and likeness rather than difference.
Your heart knows no fear, it experiences no desire,
and never finds the need to defend or justify itself.

Unlike your mind, your heart never seeks to impose itself.
It is patient and undemanding.
It nourishes our bodies in every moment.

Little wonder, then, that the mind, always impatient and very demanding, manages to dominate the heart so thoroughly"



Words from Fr. Archimandrite Meletios Webber
