Light on Yoga, B.K.S. Iyengar

I was working for a company where I was miserable, but out of this experience I met the loveliest man who introduced me to Light on Yoga. The man was a consultant working on a project with me, and one day we went to lunch. As we started talking about the importance of taking care of ourselves, particularly because we were working so many hours per week and under such stressful circumstances, somehow the subject turned to yoga. I grew … Continue Reading

Love, An Inner Connection, Carol K. Anthony

Love, An Inner Connection: Based on Principles Drawn from the I Ching by Carol K. Anothony I had only just started learning about the I Ching when I picked up Love, an Inner Connection.

Here are some excerpts you might enjoy… Continue Reading

The Secret

In case you haven't heard there's a new movie making the rounds in spirituality circles, talk shows, and an upcoming seminar near you and it's called, "The Secret." What is, "The Secret?" The Secret is the Law of Attraction. What is the Law of Attraction? That's more complicated, but it's not really a secret.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach

If one were to learn everything they knew about religion from watching television they would have a pretty skewed view of what it meant to be "religious." Our culture seeks out conflict in order to add interest to any topic--especially religion. There just aren't enough people interested in listening to a treacly sermon about God's love to keep advertisers happy. Conversely, when the religions are at each other's t… Continue Reading
