Changing Sun

Days are shorter. The sun sits lower in the sky. Summer bugs are few, and Buddy's hair has stopped falling out. The cycles of the sun affect our days, our moods and food. The Sun Salutation, a series of yoga asanas that honors its namesake, can be modified to bring the essential elements of ritual thanks and its benefits to the new yoga… Continue

Cancer: A Poem by Ruth Carter Bourdon

Cancer:



You make friends with cancer by

heeding its call to consciousness,

by letting it change your life.

want or need to do.

You prioritize. You pace yourself.

You respect your body.

You spend time with those whose

presence is healing.



You make friends with cancer by noticing the

small miracles that occur daily--

the chorus of bird songs in the… Continue

Weekly YogaLetter: Remembering September 11th

Tomorrow is September 11th, a day that had no significant meaning before that dreadful day in 2001. The recent controversy surrounding the Park 51 Community Center in New York City is evidence that both Muslims and non-Muslims have not done enough to heal the nation. What was necessary then and what is necessary now is an ethics of forgiveness. Love, faith and forgiveness are beyond the capacity or the function of the government.



Forgiveness is… Continue

Point of View: Survivor, Scott Randall

Scott is a listserv friend. He is having a SIR-Sphere's treatment for liver cancer and wanted to write to another list friend who is advocating for her son, who is 27 and has been told that there is no hope for him. With Scott's permission, I am posting his amazing email here.

How the attitude in gratitude creates a fountain of friendships and amasses a wealth of health

Our thoughts can sometimes weigh down on us, be it negative or positive. And when these thoughts take over and carve an imprint on our minds, they become our “Attitude”.



Thinking in terms of attitude can seem complex, as it depends on our fundamental beliefs, feelings, values and disposition to act in certain ways. But the amazing fact remains that when it comes to our attitude, it is just a state of mind that is totally under our control.… Continue

Point of View: Survivors, Andra Bowes-Young, and Jade Bowe

Andra, a breast cancer thriver, went through the rigors of breast cancer treatment, losing her never cut hair but not her hula dancing to regaining the pieces of her life. She'd just taken that first tentative breath of survivorship, when her mother, Jade, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The shock wave drove deep into reserves, as she now fought for her mother's wellness along with her own. The complexity of a mother-daughter relationship and a… Continue
