In yogic metaphysics, the third eye or Ajna chakra, is the center where we transcend duality the duality of a personal I separate from the rest of the world, of a personality that exists independently f...rom everything else. The third eye chakra is associated with the following psychological and behavioural characteristics: - Vision - Intuition - Perception of subtle dimensions and movements of energy - Access to mystical states, illumination - Connection to wisdom, insight - Motivates inspiration and creativity

Yoga Wednesdays - Muladhara (Root Chakra) The Muladhara governs your family ties and feelings of survival, belonging, and guardedness. Your earliest memories are stored here, including whether or not your basic needs were met. When it is blocked or out of balance, you can become needy, have low self-esteem, or have self-destructive behaviors. ... When Muladhara is in balance, you feel strong and confident; you can stand up on your own two feet and take care of yourself.

Yoga Wednesdays! What's The Difference Between Hatha and Raja yoga? Raja is a yoga of work exclusively with consciousness, i.e., meditation (and introspection). In raja yoga, there are no asanas, and there are only a few popular pranayamas in it (as in Buddhism).... Hatha is rooted in the tradition of ancient India and is based on the principle of opposing energies. In fact, the word Hatha is derived from the Sanskrit word "ha" which means the Sun and "tha" that is, the Moon. Some asanas act as gentle stretching exercises and increase flexibility, others develop strength and balance. However, the practice of hatha yoga goes beyond physical exercises because it helps achieve a balance between the body and mind on higher forms of awareness through breathing and relaxation techniques.

Happy National Kale Day! Here are three fun facts about kale: 1. It's not a new kid on the block - Kale is popular now, but people have been growing this superfood for more than 2,000 years. Popular in Europe during Roman times and the Middle Ages, it arrived in the U.S. in the 17th century.... 2. Vitamins! - One cup of chopped raw kale provides more than 100% of the recommended daily amount of vitamins A and K. 3. But Kale's Secret Power Is Its Phytonutrients, Those Miraculous Molecules In Plants That Are Often Called Antioxidants - Kale possesses phytonutrients, which quell inflammation, improve the liver’s detox ability, and can even protect brain cells from stress. Do you have any good kale recipes to share?
