+ Spirituality and Practice is offering daily wisdom on the practice of Yoga this month. I really like what they shared today: “Yoga is probably the world's most
perfect form of exercise. It cultivates cardiovascular health, and musculoskeletal
strength and flexibility, without the painful and damaging side effects of
high-impact aerobics. It tunes up every organ system — respiratory, digestive,
reproductive, endocrine, lymphatic, and nervous. It cultivates the body's
capacity to relax and dramatically reduces the negative effects of stress. With
regular yoga practice, we breathe better. We sleep better. We digest our food
better. We feel better. We may even begin to recover from chronic illness. And,
for many Americans, the best part is that none of these amazing outcomes
requires long years of training and apprenticeship. The benefits of practice
are immediate. We are, by and large, a very practical people. And yoga is a
very practical endeavor.” -- Stephen Cope in Yoga and the Quest for the True Self .
+ Spirituality and Practice offers some practical suggestions for achieving health and reconciliation. Read this excerpt from Energize Your Heart in Four Directions by Puran and Susanna Bair.
+ The drums of war are beating and the war profiteers are cheering. But this is a dangerous path, very dangerous. TruthOut offers "Say 'No' to War and Media Propaganda" by Mairead Maguire. This is excellent analysis of the situation and offers some hope.
