I practice Yoga at home mainly for the purpose of having a relax mind and body. Stress is really high on our workplace and yoga helps me relax.

One of the greatest act of ahisma you can do for yourself and for others is to eat vegan foods. This helps yourself (healthy, pure and tasty!) the planet (more greenhouse gas comes from meat eating than all the worlds transportation combined!) and of course th sentient animals who are tortured so.

Pamir, It was an honor to be included in that particular Carnival because it was so well done and put together so thoughtfully. Not the usual carnival at all.

Thanks for your comment about spirituality and daily life – it inspired a blog posting : http://laughingyogini.com/2009/03/wake-up-and-feel-the-bliss-flowing/

You are so RIGHT ON!

Thanks for your contribution to the 177th Carnival of Healing. Spirituality that doesn't change everyday life is less useful. Nonviolence is a challenging practice but we mustn't give up on it. Even in small ways, nonviolence enhances life. Pamir | Reiki Help Blog’s last blog post..Modern Reiki

Liara, Good point! I guess we relate to EVERYTHING based upon our experiences, don’t we?

One of the reasons I appreciate Nischala Joy Devi’s book, THE SECRET POWER OF YOGA and Bernard Bouanchaud’s THE ESSENCE OF YOGA is because they discuss the sutras in exactly the manner you describe: as touchstones for living our lives in the contemporary world. Isn’t it amazing that these ancient threads can speak to us with so much truth, today?

On another note, I appreciate the affirmations for my work. Thank you for offering – once again – your insights in a response.

This is a valiant effort with meaningful intentions. Westerners relate to Eastern philosophy based on their own life experience. When you connect day-to-day activities with the ideas behind yoga sutras, human beings tend to digest them on a practical level. Your website is a gem. Thanks for choosing to share parts of yourself with the world.

Brahmananda and Perce, Thanks so much for commenting and spreading your joy and struggle.

Perce, Remember, even in meditation, practice with lightness. That is how we end up laughing with each other when we’re trying a difficult pose together. That laughter is our communication of sacred honor for each other and ourselves. Your practice remains unbelievably beautiful! I am grateful to be able to participate

I find practicing ahimsa toward myself is harder than practicing towards others. It’s so easy to start beating myself up over things that are meaningless and its easy to forget and show gratitude for my strenghs and accomplishments. For me, meditating on this principle is important.
