Create Pray Love - Day 24


Take others into your heart, not into your self-esteem.
The part of me that is connected to others and to the divine speaks directly to my mind. It informs me of who I am, where I am, and Who is with me. The ego* tries to find some way to turn all situations into praise for itself, including problems and failures. But true self-esteem is build and sustained through connection with our Source. -Prather
*Edging God Out

Create Pray Love - Day 23


Patanjali & Yoga

Patanjali was not only the author of the Yoga Sutras, but he was also a dancer, doctor, yogi, thinker, and master of ancient words. What do all of these have in common? Yoga has many meanings. "One is the union of the winds within our inner body. We unite these winds with our yoga, when we think and understand. The winds will sing within us, the very first words of all. They will flow free, and force us to dance, and to run to heal others." (The Essential Yoga Sutra)
