Instead of expecting the world to help you feel comfortable in your skin - do it for yourself. If you can be at ease in yourself, you can carry that anywhere.

If you want to be the Real you, you need to know what comes with it, and it’s not always romantic. Hair is rubbed off. Your eyes will be missing and seams get pulled loose. But it’s the only way to go, I think …

What I recognized in the yoga teachings is the something MORE that I experienced as a child. The language was different, but the experience was the same. I’m talking about an intelligence in the Universe that has nothing to do with book smarts…..

Guru - the inner teacher - is within you, always available to guide you towards Awakening.

What happens when you dedicate yourself to something? And what happens if you don’t? Progress is possible…. if you participate.

I bet you’ve heard the call of your heart a million times. It’s that thing that keeps coming around to help you free up your magic.
