Inside Yoga: The Gift of Practice - Paperback

This book contains 80 short pieces of writing and 80 drawings from my yoga practice. Each writing and drawing emerged naturally and spontaneously during my yoga practice and meditation. During the first year of yoga practice 700 pieces of writing offered themselves, almost fully crafted, into my conciousness. I recorded them faithfully and honestly, recognizing them for the precious gifts that they are. In the second year 400 drawings emerged in the same spirit. I kept art supplies nearby to quickly sketch, draw and paint these images as accurately as possible in the moment. There was little struggle and much joy in this process. It is my belief that these writings and drawings retain a glimmer of the essential energy / awareness of the moment out of which they emerged. A glimpse of the precious present or the essential 'now', the recognition of which, allows us to be most alive and free. It is my joy and pleasure to share these glimmerings, these glowing embers rising on a column of free-flowing air. May they resonate with some true tone inside you and may you find your own way into the beauty, aliveness and infinite possibilities inherent in your own conscious awareness of the present moment.
