can you separate the buddha from buddhism?hm. interesting question. (see, ive actually thought about that before)… diff b/w buddhism and the buddha maybe (buddhism to me is the rituals, prayers, etc.. the pointless stuff. all that needs to go)—each individual is capable of hurting themselves when not “enlightened.” then again…
…maybe no where near as much as any other scenario in this world i can think of.perhaps in these times of religious confusion and misunderstandings…it may feel more specific and applicable/valid.my question led me to the conclusion that there are practices that exist so deep within the culture of the
origin…that to synchronize the two – one’s own spiritual awakening and development – they do not need to be separated.the workings of a person’s mind are made more (when not really harmed or limited) expressive of its existing potential by living through a cultural setting geared towards them/you. its comfortable.
that is: some may bond with a buddist temple, others w/ islamic, some w/ christian, maybe even hindu – anything
can yoga help acid reflux
In recent years some yogis believe that yoga can treat diseases like acid reflux by helping the body reach homeostasis.What is homeostasis?Homeostasis is a state where the body normally functions and characteristics are maintained. These characteristics include blood pH, oxygen levels, salt concentration and other influencing factors. When we practice
yoga we can restore homeostasis through finding balance within our bodies by becoming moderately acidic and alkaline. We can also restore balance to our minds and thoughts becoming calmer and allowing us to see things differently. With this practice the body is able to function at a healthy rate of
pH and alkalinity which allows us to live with relief from acid reflux at night. WillyWinny If a person has stopped sleeping on their side but still sleeps on their back….will the symptoms subside? anniemac I have been dealing with this for 6 months. I have been under a lot

is yoga a religious activity?
It often depends on the person and the philosophy of that particular ashram. Some are decidedly aligned with Hindu philosophy and doctrine while others offer a more open approach. Of course, many retreat centers in India operate strictly as religious retreats which do not allow any access to traditionals and
fire ceremonies unless you convert to that religion. Woldo and Sed gChen are among a few of my favorite ashrams with a very rational and pragmatic approach to life and a strong emphasis on healthy living.What would you say are the greatest benefits of yoga?Students discover their own personal journey
of self-improvement. Yoga encourages connection to ones self and empathy towards oneself. The poses/asanas require focus and intention. In the beginning, quite honestly, many students hate the discipline *cough* I love it because it inspires and fulfills me with challenge *cough* that first knee getting on the floor or learning
to balance will always bring delight for those who take pride in learning something about themselves! Finally, students also realize that yoga is an answer to a busy life. No matter how full ones schedule is, some time should be made in order to have an effective balance in ones
life!

lose his job?Benzi is a comrade of mine. Of that fact I have no doubt. It is one thing to criticize me on his own without cause. Will he lose his job there as well? I find it highly unlikely. As for Tjam the clothespins are solely for distribution. Are
you saying that he was not in attendance at Tentative? Far from it. He was there for 2 days a long time ago. He completely submitted to our mode of operation even though he may not agree with it 100%. It is possible that more than 1 person has access

how to do a yoga plank
1. In slightly downward dog position, walk you hands out towards your feet.2. Keep the bottom of your pelvis facing the ceiling and gently tuck one butt cheek under you. This is the pivot point that you want to help hold you in place (unlike pistol squats where your legs
are the external anchor). Your body weight should be snugged up firmly into the pose.3. Straighten your arms, either using the wall if you are doing it on the fly, or measuring your hands to a block if you’re doing it in class. Either way, your elbows need to be
pressing firmly into their respective sides of your mat.4. Hinge at the hips until you are absolutely, 100% sure that your feet are level on the mat.5. Maintain all tension in the core of your body to keep the back straight. If you feel any kind of “sagginess” open up
near your bottom then stop and come down a notch because #1: you’ll most likely not be able to do the hold and #2: I don’t want to hear about you getting hurt.For good reference
how often should you practice ashtanga yoga?
Plank and Chaturanga combined count as a full sun salutation, right?And therefore should you perform 72, 78, or 86 of the 108 planned ones without fail in the first, second and fourth sun salutations?Oh, just me have a weird imaginary conversation with myself again!You’ll have noticed, probably, that sun salutations
A1 and any successive variations of A1 next to each other follow 16 beats of movement. Sun salutations A2, A3 and upgrades of course, stick out with four specific variables sticking out of a jingle and no explanations necessary.Mounting plank pose pushes up the heart rate like few poses can
do in intro class and midway through an advanced class is a stroke of genius. So leaving those out for half a minute breathes room for some relaxation and stokes fires for a much higher kilocalorie burning exercise set to come. Or at least that’s what I think and what
I’ve been told by Ashtanga teachers and books (written by the founder, Pattabhi Jois’ students and the others).Now enter Sandbag Training using Ashtanga’s – learnings. Dashm
