Once we have established our connection to earth and learned to remember to ground ourselves, we are ready to move. The second chakra is associated with water, flowing movements, our creative instincts, sensuality and emotions. Once we are safe and grounded, we can begin to look outside ourselves for relationships, fun and adventure. We give ourselves permission to take up space....

I like to remind my students that each yoga pose begins with a strong foundation. If you've ever lived in a house with an old, rickety, sinking foundation, you will understand what I mean. Without building a strong foundation first, we cannot add the walls, floors and windows, much less, the roof! In yoga, whether we are sitting, standing or lying on our backs in a pose, we must become aware of what is beneath us before we ever begin to move into a pose....

Love and a few other things..... When my husband and I decided to close our mental health business in California and move into an RV, we had some serious downsizing to do. We sold and donated as much as we could, then put the rest into storage and took the leap toward a fresh start. Ten years later, we have less material stuff, but we are still downsizing....

Can I own this view? Wanting, craving, needing, possessing.......attachment. How can we be free when we are so weighed down with stuff and personal attachments? Aparigraha seems to walk hand in hand with the last one--Brahmacharya-Non-excess. So, let's go deeper. We are a consumer culture, in fact, a consumer world. Today we have more things than at any other time in history....

Every single flower has its beauty. I thought this would be a no-brainer for me. I'm not a collector. I don't like clutter. And too much "stuff" makes me claustrophobic. But, within a day of reading one chapter on Brahmacharya, or non-excess, I realized that I do crave things, collect things, and buy things just because I can. We have moved enough times to realize that our stuff weighs us down and creates lethargy....

When my husband and I started RV-ing we learned quickly that there was only so much space for stuff. We only had a small closet that we shared, a small pantry for food and a studio sized refrigerator and stove that reminded us of when we first struck out on our own way back when rent was $100 a month. It was a simple life and we embraced it....

Can you stop judging, interrupting and being busy for one day? Here are just three ways we steal from ourselves, and others, without meaning to. Interrupting Has this happened to you? It's subtle, and can be rather disturbing when it becomes a habit. When we interrupt we are telling the other person, "What I have to say is more important than what you have to say." Sometimes in conversations we know what the other person is going to say; we might agree wholeheartedly and want to confirm that we are on the same page, so we interrupt....

Deborah Adele says this best, so I will defer to her for these first few paragraphs. Are you stealing from yourself? "In all the ways that we impose an outside image of ourselves onto ourselves, we are stealing from the unfolding of our own uniqueness. All demands and expectations that we place on ourselves steal from our own enthusiasm. All self-sabotage, lack of belief in ourselves, low self-esteem, judgments, criticisms, and demands for perfection are forms of self-abuse in which we destroy the very essence of our vitality....

"Non-stealing implies more than not taking what isn't ours. It is an inherent understanding that from the moment we are born, we are in debt to this gift called life. The ancient Vedic scriptures speak of taking nothing without giving something back. Imagine what would happen if each time we took something, we gave something back." Deborah Adele Steya means "to steal." …...
