Gratitude is the Key! No days off a Yoga Sadhana

Obstacles to well being are fear, greed, anger, hatred, all of the negative frequencies that can come up for us that are all stopping us from experiencing peace in our hearts. So as I said, I could have spoken this entire talk in five minutes because it’s overwhelmingly simple. It all comes down to, “Can you use awareness to improve the quality of your daily life by suspending your thoughts when they’re not related to gratitude or surrender or compassion?”

Can you practice asana everyday so that you can sit still? This is a spiritual practice. The word is called Sadhana. If you don’t know it, you’ve got to write it down. Sadhana is your spiritual practice. It’s a daily thing. So in our teacher’s training, our sadhana, a lot of it, some of it will be on the mats, there will be meditation at home. I will give you what your Sadhanas are. The sum total of everything that I tell you to do for your spiritual practice is your sadhana. There are no days off for sadhana, ever.

You already had your last day off from yoga. You already took it. Now your days off in yoga are over, every single day for the rest of your life, no exceptions. This is yoga. This is the real spiritual practice. If your physical practice is just physical and you go to the gym, say you’re really disciplined and you decide “I’m going to go to the gym every day for the rest of my life. I’m going to the gym; I’m going to work out every day.” Work out, physical stuff. Well someone gets in the way one day and tells you “It’s not easy to work out.” So what do you do? Just skip it! Big deal. Seriously, who cares? I dieted 58 straight days, I’ll get a day off. It’s not a big deal, who cares? Sadhana never takes a day off.

You don’t take a day off in giving thanks to God.

Forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person!

When you’re not forgiving somebody, it’s because you’re holding on to hatred or you’re holding on to some sort of animosity. You’re holding on to a negative energy inside yourself about that. There’s something about them that when you think about them, you get mad. You get angry. You have not forgiven them. Now, who is suffering when that happens?
You.

164 Million Americans will be OBESE by 2030! Lets prevent the epidemic! Here is how!

I just heard a report from the Journal Lancet that by 2030 164 Millions Americans will be OBESE. It is not talking about simply being overweight. Obese is a specific relative weight to height and is always associated with grave health deterioration. The same report calculated that the cost to the US in terms of healthcare for the Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Cancer that will result from this obesity to be around 66 billion dollars a year.

What a waste of life and money. Nobody who is obese can be enjoying the gift of life and so there is a lose - lose situation going on here. We are bankrupting our society all for no good reason, in fact we are doing so and at the same time people are living truly miserable lives!

Bill Clinton's CNN special on how to prevent Heart Attacks by eating differently should be a lesson to everybody who thinks they can not change lifestyle. He says so clearly that he enjoys what he eats so much now and that it is the most important thing he is doing to prevent a heart attack!

Prevention is better than cure! We can save our economy from all the people calling in sick, from all the money wasted on diseases, and from the depression and fear associated with obesity by just eating better and exercising like Yoga or swimming or fast walking!

We especially need to make sure we are teaching our children to not be overweight and obese by demanding that they play outdoors more and on the computer or video game consol less!

Always keep healthy food in the reach of young children so they get in the good habits and not try to manipulate parents into feeding them garbage.

It is so easy to change directions here! Where is the political or moral will to do so? Times are changing i hope and enough powerful people are beginning to see how important eating a vegan diet is to overall well being. Not just physical health results from eating better, but mental health also and importantly a feeling of overall fulfillment in life may come to all!

Please America and the rest of the world... stop eating garbage! Why treat the animals in the zoo better than you treat yourself! You would never feed an animal in the zoo different from their biological design, so why do we do that to ourselves? We are paying a HUGE price for this and we can stop following the herd off the cliff as soon as we lift our heads up and decide we don't want to go down that path of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and premature miserable death.

The Kenya Yoga Safari will be a world class trip! I just got off the phone with my team in Nairobi and we are headed to a private game camp which is literally impossible for anyone without my connections to get to. It is in the 'BUSH' and it will be our home base! I can not express how excited i am to go there and bring my friends and students! I have two of my best friends in the world guiding us and the trip is literally gonna be UNBELIEVABLE. This area we are going usually prices at about $700 per night but with my connections we are going to a place that is run by local MAASAI and is absolutely pristine. I am giddy with excitement to bring people here!
