Here is a quote from “Yoga and Kriya” by Swami Satyananda on the yogic meaning of awareness:
When you do asanas and pranayama, as well as meditational techniques … the emphasis should be on awareness. This awareness implies that your attention is directed to a specific function or activity. It means that your attention is on [...]

The other day I was looking out the window at my fence and I had the nonsequitous idea that I bet I could go the rest of my life and never buy another writing pen or pencil. The reason being there must be billions of them floating around out there and if I tried I [...]

The Louvre. Is. Really. Spectacular.
Altogether the Louvre holds about 35,000 works of art, and has more than 645,000 square feet of exhibition space. We were there almost 4 hours, maybe saw 1,000 works of art, or less, and while we saw a lot we feel like we barely touched the surface. I think it is [...]
