Yogi Assignment: Gratitude
Gratitude is the silver lining in every tragedy. It’s one thing to say that when the sun is shining and you stand on top of a mountain of achievement. It’s another when you stand in a pile of debris at the pit of emotional distress. While I’m not down in the darkness now, I know…

Yogi Assignment: Shraddha
You may find this hard to believe, but I often have a hard time trusting that things are going to be ok. My overactive mind constantly casts various scenarios of how things may work out, not all of them are pleasurable. Perhaps this is the reason that I was drawn to spiritual practice. Over the…

Happiness, Self-worth and Spirit By Kino MacGregor
