It's called "truth" because truth or satya in sanskrit is very important to me. The practice of satya makes me feel good, so I spread it!
Hmm...books. I'm currently reading Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (finally) by Swami Satchidananda simultaneously with Light on Yoga (finally) by B.K.S Iyengar. How does one get their 200 hour without reading both full volumes? Umm, probably by reading a bunch of other books and teachings that all include those very ideas. :)
This morning I read that the sound of OM, or the word OM actually, is the word for God. And it's not tied to a religious sect, but rather even alluded to in the Bible as "first there was the word of God". I guess Patanjali thought that word was OM. Makes sense, if you're into that kinda thing. :)
I'm also listening to Shirley Maclaine's new biography on my Ipod when I go for walks. She is very insightful, and I like the way she practices yoga. Nothing is hard, and all is as it should be. Or at least that's what I glean from what she's said so far.
I haven't gotten enough sleep lately, and am trying to remember that all is as it should be. There's perfection and fun in every moment. Guess I needed a day to slow down, because that seems to be all I'm up for! It's nice...now.
Now onto more reading. Gotta figure out a way to put all my favorite yoga-is-a-way-of-life-related books on this site, to share with whoever ends up reading it. For now it's just me! Oh and probably Kas, my 500 hour guru. (Hi:)
Much love and light...and understanding that the calm always sits inside us, even in the middle of a hectic trip to Walmart before the in-laws visit for Easter.
