How to Connect Spiritual Ideas to Real Life
|
Greetings Reader - I can’t think of a time in my life when it’s been more important to know how to apply the ancient wisdom of yoga to our lives than right now. Traditional yoga wisdom sometimes feels out of reach—a mysterious collection esoteric ideas, rigorous practices, and lofty goals that seem disconnected from our everyday experiences. And when we feel a special sense of urgency about our everyday experiences, we might think that studying yoga philosophy is a luxury for when we have leisure time in a stable world. But yoga philosophy isn’t just meant to be informative; it’s meant to be transformative. What if the transformational power of yoga is just what we need to meet the moment? What if tapping into that power can help us maintain our balance in a topsy-turvy environment and show us how to infuse our actions with clarity and force? The truth is that yoga wisdom is meant to be a source of insight and strength in challenging times. That’s why the Bhagavad-gita was spoken on a battlefield! And that's what my next workshop is all about: HOW TO CONNECT SPIRITUAL IDEAS TO REAL LIFE Live via Zoom on Sunday, March 9 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST This workshop will be recorded and available for replay Yoga teachers - earn 1.5 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance. Tuition: $27
This workshop will be a guided journey to discover how to connect six essential teachings from the yoga wisdom tradition to our personal, professional, social, and family lives. Yoga enthusiasts and spiritual sojourners will learn how following the roadmap to spiritual success that’s woven into the pages of yoga’s wisdom literature takes us through the world, not away from or around it. And when we follow that map armed with the wisdom of yoga, we’ll be able to move through the world with higher levels of understanding, steadiness, and power. Make yoga philosophy a lived experience! Join us to discover how ancient teachings can bring clarity and transformation to your life in a way that’s personal, practical, and relevant. Wishing you all good fortune, - Hari-k P.S.: I had a great conversation with Michael Kokal about the five secrets of the Bhagavad Gita on his End of the Road podcast. You can listen in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. |

Greetings Reader, Here it comes: the biggest shopping day of the year! The day after American Thanksgiving, otherwise known as “Black Friday.” I prefer to call Black Friday by its other name: Buy Nothing Day. Which means that, for me, it’s also Sell Nothing Day. So don’t buy anything I’m selling this Friday. Every other day, every other day, every other day of the week is fine, yeah. And if you were thinking about getting on the boycott train, Buy Nothing Day is a great day to cancel your...

Greetings Reader, It was very nice to receive so many replies to last week’s email. Reading about the many songs that inspire happiness in so many of you made me . . . happy. I’m also glad so many readers took me up on the challenge to find all of the song titles and references I inserted into my email. The funniest thing was that someone (thank you, Cynthia) found a couple of song titles that I didn’t even intend to include! They were “I Want to be Happy” from the musical No, No, Nanette...
