Dharma is our gradual awakening to the truth and the recognition of our unique path. Dharma is not something I chose; it chose me. These are some of my insights over 25 years of intensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga. Much of it centers on hatha yoga (postures and breath work) because that is the main practice in the West.

Love is about a lot more than just romantic attachments. Love is about all that gives joy and meaning to our lives. The problem is that many of us suffer from a lack of love that can show up in lots of ways: self-doubt, insecurity, depression, despair, fears of being a fraud or an imposter in your own life, and feelings of unworthiness more generally. If you suffer from painful feelings such as these, you are far from alone.

Wie er den Weg aus dieser Position rausgefunden hat, zeigt er in dem Buch "Passepartout". Dabei geht er nicht hochwissenschaftlich und belehrend vor, sondern zeigt in lockerem Sprachstil auf, wie er zu einem besseren Ich gefunden hat und was man aus seiner Geschichte ableiten kann.

Cuando su marido la abandonó, Rosemary Altea se dio cuenta de que el miedo había sido su compañero desde la cuna. Miedo a un padre con la severidad propia del militar y a una madre incapaz de mostrar ternura; miedo a los rostros y las voces que poblaban las noches de su niñez, a las extrañas percepciones que la estremecían, a todo cuanto la acercara a su abuela Eliza. No fue fácil para ella aceptar que poseía un don para comunicarse con los espíritus.

Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.
