Peter's Podcast

Wendy Newton and I discuss a description of the "play of life" that yoga describes. By cultivating the right attitude, through practice, we can have a deep appreciation for whatever happens, whether your mind wants to call it happy or painful. We base our discussion on a quote from Tantra Illuminated, by Christopher Wallis [https://www.amazon.com/Tantra-Illuminated-Philosophy-Practice-Tradition/dp/0989761304/].

Today we talk about real yoga, actual happiness, and deep living! I share a meditation practice that distinguishes the Nature/Goddess force and Consciousness to provide a perspective on life that helps us live in balance while life has its ups and downs.  Enjoy the talk alone, or join in for the meditation practice that includes asana, mantra, and a 20-minute period of silence.
