We just entered the first day of summer, and this day is officially dedicated to the celebration of Yoga. Most of us will think of Yoga as postures, breath control at best, or fitness.

But at its core, Yoga means union — the union of the individual self (atman) with the universal consciousness (brahman). It’s about realizing that we are not separate from the greater whole — that our soul is intrinsically connected to the source of all life. And that sounds wonderful, but HOW DO WE CREATE THAT UNION at an instant's notice?

Yes, we are bombarded with heart-wrenching news all the time. We could spend our entire lifetime being upset about how others are not doing what we would like them to do, or how we wish they would do things.

HOWEVER, what matters is how we act, how we treat each other, and how much love we develop.

Let's develop our gravitational center, the seat of our soul, which will attenuate the reality around you that you hold dear.
