  • 09/24/2023 Peeling the Onion
    What happens when you can’t have what you want? Look at the desire itself and see what’s prompting it. Peel through the layers described the yogic sage Patanjali:  Fear hides aversion. Aversion hides desire. Desire hides your small-s self. Your small-s self is hiding the not-knowing of your own Divine Essence. Peel back that final layer and uncover your own Self. It’s always there. You are always right here.

  • Teachings Article - Just Do It

    Bring your spirituality into the world. It’s not about fulfilling your desires; it’s about serving others. You choose to share, to give, to live in a spirit of generosity. Your life becomes filled by the river of Grace. You see the bigger picture and choose to operate from that higher perspective. Yoga is skillful action. Just do it!

  • 09/17/2023 Beyond Pain
    Your spiritual depth makes a difference in your experience of pain. Pain is part of life, though it is impermanent. Your ability to navigate life’s challenges with a calm and steady state comes from a deeper level. It is what you find inside, at a level beyond pain, that makes life worth living.

  • Sound Bite: Happiness and Bliss

    What’s the difference between happiness and bliss? Happiness is the mind’s experience of bliss. Bliss is deeper and more expansive. When it arises from its source within, which is your own Self, it can fill your mind. That’s happiness. When you let the bliss arise from deep within, and you let it come up inside, come all the way up, literally through your neck and.... – Gurudevi Nirmalananda

  • Honoring the Guru 10/1/23

    It's not about learning, as important as that is.  It's not about becoming, for you already are the Self.  It's just that you don't yet live in the Knowingness of your own Beingness, not all the time.  Not yet.  The One who gives you your own Self — more than this, the One who opens up the power of Consciousness to arise within you, Kundalini — such a one is worthy of this revered title, Guru.

  • 09/10/2023 Happiness Lies Inside
    When your mind experiences the Divine Consciousness that you are, the experience is one of bliss. This is the source of happiness, which arises from within. It arises from your own Self. Anchor all your outer interactions with your deepening inner knowing. Fill yourself with great Divinity. Apply yourself to the knowing of your own Self, which is the true source of joy.

  • 09/03/2023 What is Happiness?
    Happiness is the thriving of the soul and doing what you were meant to do as a human. It is the mind’s experience of bliss. Your inherent nature is bliss. Happiness is a decision. It really is only about managing your mind. Turn your mind toward your Divine Essence, and you will find the bliss underlying your quest for happiness.

  • Sound Bite: Your Bliss Tank

    Bliss is what fuels your life. When you abide in turiya, even while waking, then the bliss is always arising. But, if you’re not abiding in turiya, you don’t have enough fuel to get through the day. So you have to fill your tank. If you don’t have enough bliss in your tank, you sputter, and die out. You can’t keep going. You gotta get your bliss. Why? Because bliss is… – Gurudevi Nirmalananda

  • Beyond Pain 9/17/23

    Pain and pleasure are two of what yoga describes as the Pair of Opposites, dvandva, the pairs of opposites.  Yoga acknowledges that most people bounce back and forth between the opposites like a tennis ball.  People pursue pleasure to escape pain.  The end of pain is a goal unto itself, yet a pain-free life is not a goal.  No one wants merely freedom from pain. People want happiness, not mere pleasure, not merely freedom from pain.  Yet, you can be happy when you’re in pain.  Confused yet?  The key to understanding this is to recognize that pleasure and happiness are not the same thing.

  • 08/27/2023 Did You Get Enlightened?
    If you didn’t get enlightened while the pandemic had you isolating, then isolation is not your path to enlightenment. What you do with your day matters. You must master both the worldly and the spiritual dimensions to become enlightened.  Let the Guru show you how to interweave both into a whole new way of living.
