Six far-reaching attitudes
Cultivation of six ‘far-reaching attitudes’ helps us overcome our limitations. The development of these attitudes can lead us to a deep and lasting inner peace.
Karma yoga at Stream
Thank you to our karma yogis! Stream is a community of people who come together to practice yoga + meditation. We thrive (and exist so others can thrive) because of the kindness, generosity and commitment of our members.
“Karma yoga” is essential to our yoga practice: through service and generosity, we transcend the limiting notion of an independent “small self,” fostering connection with others and creating the conditions for insight and compassion to flourish.
Smile and know
I’ve been guiding the “inner smile” practice a lot in the last few months, both in yoga classes and in guided meditations. It’s an easy practice to turn to many times each day…
Feeling is like a bubble
The Buddha used the analogy of “feeling is like a bubble” to convey the impermanence and transient nature of sensations. Just like a bubble that appears for a brief moment and then pops, feelings come and go. Feeling is “completely void, hollow, and insubstantial.”
Abandon hope
Abandoning hope of fruition is not despair but a deep release and untangling of our confusion about reality.
Slow down
It’s the small things, done with care and consideration, that make our lives peaceful.
