Many people exercise. In that group, many exercise regularly. Yet, in that same group, how many recognize the importance for change in their routines?

A Case for Movement
It seems that in modern society, movement, exercise, is an auxiliary activity. In light of the typically mundane acts of sleeping, going to work, coming home, spending time with family, playing computer games, there is little to no time given to physical activity (movement, exercise)
Importance of Portion Proportion
The season of excess is upon us. Snacks here. Dinners there. Food jumps out from everywhere . . . .
Aging Well (part II) . . . it is not about me
However, this trip was different in that I realized that I contain, within self, the wherewithal to relinquish those feelings of dread that weave their way into musings about my home-town.
Aging well . . . a process
How do we (or not) handle socializing in the face of aging. Is socializing good, advantageous, mandatory? Or is socializing something that gets in the way of doing . . . . . . whatever?
Protein intake in the human diet.

Woo-SAHHH . . .That moment
Then you leave the studio, the ashram, the practice hall, the comfort of your own home. A little perturbation arises. Your spiritual practice is strong: you can do marathon sessions of meditation. Your Qigong practice is not just a series of randomly sequenced set of movements: you feel the energy flowing as you direct it. Your pranayama is expansive, full, focused and complete. The seamless intertwining of Puraka (Inhalation), Abhyantara Khumbaka (Full Inhale Hold), Rechaka (Exhalation), Bahya Khumbaka (Full Exhale Hold) occurs effortlessly. Then you leave the studio, the ashram, the practice hall, the comfort of your own home. A little perturbation arises. Someone does not signal there turn in traffic. The barista does not quite season your latte in the manner to which you have grown accustomed. A child shows disrespect toward the parent (or your child shows disrespect toward you). It is at these times that your practices must be part of your being. You must not allow your mind to wander, to become agitated. . . . You must come (back) to a Woo-SAHH moment.
Community Alternatives
A community will thrive based on the degree to which knowledge is coalesced and disseminated, skills are shared, resources are combined, and cooperation is experienced.

Practicing nude yoga assists in achieving deeper spiritual connections. This is due to the enhanced accumulation of cosmic vibration (energy, prana, chi)
Breath . . . . . Fully!!!
Fullness of breath provides benefits which extend beyond (general) oxygenation of the blood.
