Happiness and Mind Training
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 15, 2009
For Sean P. O’Rourke (1985-2009)
This has been a season of death. On Saturday, three young men died in a tragic car accident. One of them was the son of a long-time friend and writing group buddy, a member of the extended “Penelope Writers” family.
Watching the faces of the O’Rourke family as they followed the coffin [...]
Practice smiling breath
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | October 14, 2009
I am so grateful that yoga is in my life, teaching me to appreciate each moment fully so that when life jigs its inevitable cruel dance tugging at me to partner-up, I can connect with my breath and remember that there is a beautiful, calm, loving place within me. Through continual practice I have found [...]
Nirvana?
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | July 29, 2009
While we were releasing into savasana during tonight’s class in Westfield, D. read from Jill Bolte Taylor’s book, MY STROKE OF INSIGHT. I remembered the video I’d seen some time ago and the awe and maybe a little jealousy that I’d felt at Dr. Taylor’s experience. D. commented that the section she read to [...]
The Final Goal
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | July 18, 2009
If you have been practicing for any amount of time, you’ve probably asked yourself, what is the goal of all this mat-work? Is it to become a bit more “bendy?”
My answer is that BENDY is an offshoot of a good practice. You should begin to see real changes in your everyday life after a [...]
Video Thursday, Hang Loose Mudra
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | July 10, 2009
Ahh, back home from the 13.5 hour drive from North Carolina. Feels sweet. The air smells delicious thanks to clover blooming in our overgrown yard. With the windows open, all is cool and lovely. I’m back on my ‘puter – yippee – and catching up on emails (I’ve lost count), phone messages (13!), snail mail [...]
July Fourth Sacred Pause
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | July 4, 2009
Happy Fourth of July to American yogins everywhere.
Beyond the flashy fireworks and barbecue festivities, this is a day to reflect upon the meaning of freedom and to celebrate the birthday of our country. Revolutionary War soldiers certainly felt as if Colonial powers were impeding their lives and their freedom. For many of us however, the [...]
Living a Meaningless Life?
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | June 25, 2009
Think your life is too small? Think you need to do something significant, something with impact, something for your children to remember you by? When we start spinning our thoughts in this direction, it’s usually a sign that we need to to chill, breathe for a bit, and as Jen Louden, virtual life coach diva, [...]
Lovingkindness, How full is your cup?
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | May 21, 2009
A sense of abundance is deeply connected with a sense of gratitude. Here I broaden the topic to include developing a sense of abundance in life. Really life is too short to live any other way, isn’t it?
I practice my lovingkindness meditation using repetition of the four line mantra:
May I live without fear.
May I [...]
VideoThursday, enlightenment
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | March 12, 2009
I am back home after spending a week with my nearly ninety-year old folks on coastal North Carolina. Lots to catch up on, (email, wash, sleep) so today I’ve put together a collage of videos on the topic of enlightenment. If you have a link that you think we’d enjoy, please pass it on in [...]
Manifesting
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | February 19, 2009
Steven’s video is a little hokey, but I love the homemade quality. And I love watching him outside snowshoeing, since the weather here in Fredonia is conducive to a long white walk today. About the content though — what do you think? How much do we believe that we can effect events in our [...]
