SUKHA YOGA AND MEDITATION

A saving grace for me and so many is Sukha Yoga in Austin. The owners, Erinn Lewis and Mark Herron, have built a community through yoga, meditation and friendship that helps us navigate the waters of our day.  Here is a honest and helpful talk and meditation with Erinn - "Nothing is What We Thought."

Right now Sukha is doing classes at their studio (with safe social distancing and other necessary precautions) and live on-line each day through Zoom. I have been doing yoga with them from home at least 3-4 times each week since March.

Another meditation I do almost everyday or night is the “Inner Smile Meditation” by Dr. Fritz Smith, MD, the founder of Zero Balancing and my mentor now for 35 years. Generously this recording of the Inner Smile is now streaming free through July 31st to anyone interested. I highly recommend it.

At the same time as we now face uniquely troubled times, we have access to more wisdom from so many traditions than ever before in human history. Perhaps this access and abundance has arisen precisely to help us in these hours of need. Human society has gone as far as it can without prioritizing growth in the realms of the psyche and spirit. We are seeing the consequences of that in our environment, in mind-only oriented education, in the mismanagement of the pandemic, in valuing profit over happiness and health, and in so many other ways. May we take advantage of the incredible healing resources within us and around us.
