Change Your Mind: Yoga and Meditation Retreats in the magical Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan New dates for 2010: April 23-27 May 7-11 May 21-25*
GENTLENESS TO YOURSELF Confidence brings the natural dignity of gentleness. You can afford to be gentle. You are not pretending to be gentle in order to achieve something by it, but you have a general sense of gentleness, which means you are being kind to yourself.
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

The Fruit of a New Season

The second season of PapayaYoga at Zhiwa Ling is underway!  And while I fell far from my goal of updating this page monthly, I think it is fair to say that the first season was a great success. Things do not always come together as planned or expected, especially in this part of the world.  So when positive results do manifest, whether or not they are what we expected, it is cause to rejoice.

Impermanence is the nature of the universe, and if we are wise, we frame this as evolution.  If we are holding on to our ideas of how things should be, then impermanence can manifest as chaos or trouble.

It is a strange phenomenon in the universe that when you are not meant to do something, you can work and work, and nothing will come of it. By contrast, when you are meant to be somewhere, there is absolutely no effort involved and things just fall into place. This has been my experience in this magical land.

I will continue to host Change Your Mind retreats out of the gorgeous Zhiwa Ling hotel, as well as offering daily classes for guests.
