The Grace of Shuniya

The following is an excerpt from my new book:   Memoirs of a Rennaissance Man: Purifying the Mind, Body, and Spirit…and the 40 Days That Follow… An Aspirant’s Account The Grace of Shuniya The crisp Texas weather continues.  During my practice today I consciously brought my awareness to the state of Shuniya (shoo-nee- yuh).  In essence, this is where we bring our mind to a place of “zero”.  In Kundalini Yoga, the goal of Shuniya is to assist you in improving your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and health, enhancing your self-esteem and self-confidence and enabling you to develop healthy […]

The Wonders of Embracing Simplicity…

The Simple Things That Make Life Enchanting Adi and I have been talking a lot lately about the wonders of embracing simplicity.  We awoke early today and were out the door to our favorite coffeeshop by 6:30 am.  Quite a few mornings, Adi and I go to the Flying Squirrel to grab a morning cup of coffee and to do some work.
