The Mother of All Intentions
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 8, 2010
During this season of intention-setting, it might be helpful to contemplate the mother-of-all-intentions: COMPASSION. And all compassion, from the grandest benevolent foundation to the tiniest gesture of human kindness, begins with oneself. During 2010, how can I treat myself with greater friendship, honor, and love? Can I develop kinder thoughts as well as healthier responses? [...]

carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 17, 2009
Yesterday I embarked upon a “vision quest” of sorts: a virtual retreat with Comfort Queen. I AM SO PUMPED! Four days I am giving over to bursting outta ordinary life in order to sit with my existence. It’s a time to look long and with new slant at how I do things, especially how I [...]
Do You Believe in Prayer?
carolyn aka LaughingYogini | January 13, 2009
Yoga and prayer…do they go together…do YOU bring them together? Yoga asana IS prayer for me. It’s the prayer of the body in motion. It’s opening my SELF to the grace of the universe.It is working to create a sustainable body/mind/spirit and therefore family/friendships/community/nation/world. Sitting meditation – is it a prayer? Yes’m indeed. We sit [...]
