think critically, speak sweetly

This Jivamukti Open level class highlights TWISTING, and we get deep in to it, twists stimulate Manipura Chakra.

Thankfulness is a soil in which pride does not easily grow.

We investigate the project of seeing whomever you speak to as a holy being. Do not see anyone as mean, stupid, or compassionless or as a person who needs you to enlighten them. If you can’t see people you speak to as compassionate, how can you ever expect them to see themselves that way?
