#meditateforgood starts today. 10 days - 10 minutes of meditation 💎💎💎 thank you @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 Meditation is an amazing and simple tool that can transform your life and really help your asana practice also. 💚 In 2003, I told my parents that I was moving to New York City to meditate all day. It turned out a little different. 😜🤣😱😁But at the time, my father told me that if you have to meditate more than 30 minutes per day it’s not working. I thought that was funny and also not really true but I understand his point. He always encouraged me to serve others and to put that before anything else. Meditation is not to space out and feel better for a few minutes - Rather it is to be able to transform ourselves our minds into something that can help all beings. It really works. Go to @threejewelsnyc for free instruction on meditation! It’s not too late to sign up for the 10 day challenge!

Meditation is an essential part of being able to help others. Day 10 of #meditateforgood @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 In our acupressure programs @scienceofselfytt we emphasize personal practice first. Through asana, pranayama and especially meditation, we can transform ourselves into a finely tuned instrument of healing. Think about the technology that is used in modern medicine. Huge complex machine, very expensive, are needed to detect what is happening inside. We are very grateful for these machines!! But, we can develop our own bodies into instruments even more sensitive than these. Meditate for the sake of all beings.

Day 9 of #meditateforgood @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 If you want your meditation to go somewhere, be kind to all. Otherwise you will sit for hours and hours and you get no results. Those are the words of a great saint here in nyc -Sri Dharma Mittra @dharmayoganyc 💎💎💎 he also teaches about vegan diet. He says : If you are full of bacon, how can you meditate? 🤣🧘🏻‍♂️💜🙏🏻💜 There are many styles of teaching but the truth is always the same. We must work on ourselves first. By meditating, breathing, moving, serving others and never intending to harm others, we are helping ourselves. If you are intellectual and want to learn about the logical proof behind these philosophies, PLEASE visit @threejewelsnyc Studying with this lineage has helped me put it all together and satisfy the logical and scientific part of my mind as well as my heart and longing to merge. 💜💜💜 . 📒 order Books at www.ba-ny.com . 🆘WEEKLY CLASSES : . 🤩Mon 6:30-8pm Complete Sequence @lighthouseyogaschool . 🌞Tue 12pm Vinyasa Hips @yttp2 ST MARKS place, 4R. $8 . 🤩Wed 11-1 Master Class @yttp2 St Marks 4R $10 . 🌞Thurs 6-7:10pm Vinyasa @threejewelsnyc . 💎Saturday Master class @threejewelsnyc 2-4:30p 11/10 12/15 . 🆘WORKSHOPS: . 👽50-hr SOS Intensive leads to 200-hr Miami, 12/1-5 @originalhotyoga305 NYC Jan 4-8, 2019 @yttpteachertraining Optional 200 certification intensive March 6-13 NYC @scienceofselfytt. . 👽50-hr SOS Acupressure Cert. @kripalu 3/31-4/5, 2019 with @benjiboyyogaboy.

See you Monday 6:30pm @lighthouseyogaschool 💚 Day 8 of #meditateforgood ⚡️😃⚡️ @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 in relation to Chinese medicine, one could say that meditation benefits the Shen or Spirit/Mind that dwells in the heart and it also benefits many of the physical systems. Sitting meditation helps strengthen the spleen by allowing the Yi or intellect to rest. It benefits the Liver by restraining the constant urge to move. It benefits the Kidney by calming the central nervous system. The real goal of meditation, like Yoga, is to rest in the true nature of the Self or Divine. This is sometimes called Self Realization or Enlightenment or Awakening. It is an experience beyond words. True awakening leads to and is generated by highest compassion and the desire to serve. 💜💜💜🙏🏻💜💜💜 . 📒 order Books at www.ba-ny.com . 🆘WEEKLY CLASSES : . 🤩Mon 6:30-8pm Complete Sequence @lighthouseyogaschool . 🌞Tue 12pm Vinyasa Hips @yttp2 ST MARKS place, 4R. $8 . 🤩Wed 11-1 Master Class @yttp2 St Marks 4R $10 . 🌞Thurs 6-7:10pm Vinyasa @threejewelsnyc . 💎Saturday Master class @threejewelsnyc 2-4:30p 11/10 12/15 . 🆘WORKSHOPS: . 👽50-hr SOS Intensive leads to 200-hr Miami, 12/1-5 @originalhotyoga305 NYC Jan 4-8, 2019 @yttpteachertraining Optional 200 certification intensive March 6-13 NYC @scienceofselfytt. . 👽50-hr SOS Acupressure Cert. @kripalu 3/31-4/5, 2019 with @benjiboyyogaboy.

Day 7 of #meditateforgood @threejewels We are here in Woodstock today and got a chance to sit in the Buddhist temple here. The silence is nice after being in the heart of NYC most days. My teacher says, if you can do Yoga in NYC then you can do it anywhere. I think because there are so many noises and distractions in n the city , so many possibilities that could keep us occupied. But yogis know, It is good to be “bored” because then the mind goes deep into itself. ❄️🌲🌲🌲❄️ Best meditation is all day long 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 remember the divine in all Things, see others as your own self, keep your breath as your true friend. 💜 . 📒 order Books at www.ba-ny.com . 🆘WEEKLY CLASSES : . 🤩Mon 6:30-8pm Complete Sequence @lighthouseyogaschool . 🌞Tue 12pm Vinyasa Hips @yttp2 ST MARKS place, 4R. $8 . 🤩Wed 11-1 Master Class @yttp2 St Marks 4R $10 . 🌞Thurs 6-7:10pm Vinyasa @threejewelsnyc . 💎Saturday Master class @threejewelsnyc 2-4:30p 11/10 12/15 . 🆘WORKSHOPS: . 👽50-hr SOS Intensive leads to 200-hr Miami, 12/1-5 @originalhotyoga305 NYC Jan 4-8, 2019 @yttpteachertraining Optional 200 certification intensive March 6-13 NYC @scienceofselfytt. . 👽50-hr SOS Acupressure Cert. @kripalu 3/31-4/5, 2019 with @benjiboyyogaboy.

Day #6 #Meditateforgood @threejewels 💎💎💎 the sacred teachings help guide us towards self realization in meditation. 🙏🏻 Third image is from Yoga Sutras translation by Geshe Michael Roach (founder of @threejewelsnyc). 💎💎💎 when I was 13 I had a very close friend Karen and we would always talk about God. I will never forget sitting in a park one day and deciding that if we could See the faces of all beings, we would be able to know God. A few years later, that same friend Karen was killed in a car accident. I was not too sad but I was more fixated on the idea that death can just take a person like that. It was shocking at the time. The idea of Death may or may not be comprehendable BUT it is something that fixes the mind. It forces us to remember the urgency and preciousness of the present moment. The ancients believed it was important to remember death daily. Thank you Dear Karen my friend for those talks that I will never forget. May all being everywhere be at ease. May we be of service. 🦋🦋🦋 . 📒 order Books at www.ba-ny.com . 🆘WEEKLY CLASSES : . 🤩Mon 6:30-8pm Complete Sequence @lighthouseyogaschool . 🌞Tue 12pm Vinyasa Hips @yttp2 ST MARKS place, 4R. $8 . 🤩Wed 11-1 Master Class @yttp2 St Marks 4R $10 . 🌞Thurs 6-7:10pm Vinyasa @threejewelsnyc . 💎Saturday Master class @threejewelsnyc 2-4:30p 11/10 12/15 . 🆘WORKSHOPS: . 👽50-hr SOS Intensive leads to 200-hr Miami, 12/1-5 @originalhotyoga305 NYC Jan 4-8, 2019 @yttpteachertraining Optional 200 certification intensive March 6-13 NYC @scienceofselfytt. . 👽50-hr SOS Acupressure Cert. @kripalu 3/31-4/5, 2019 with @benjiboyyogaboy.

Last chance for Miami December 1-5 @originalhotyoga305 🌴🌞🌴 Day 5 of #meditateforgood @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 meditate every day. For me meditation and prayer are closely linked. If My mind wanders, I come back to the prayer. The Gayatri Mantra is a great prayer of devotion and a request for guidance. Sometimes I imagine my teacher sitting right in front of me, face to face. This helps me feel positive and firm. In the beginning, meditation helps with your life, but really it has the power to carry you beyond that. I am most grateful for my parents and teachers. Help @threejewelsnyc raise money to teach and support the needy. Check them out. Or go visit them in NYC. They are so nice. 😃😊🌞🌜🌛💀💎👁🌚👽 photo by @montystilson . 📒 order Books at www.ba-ny.com . 🆘WEEKLY CLASSES : . 🤩Mon 6:30-8pm Complete Sequence @lighthouseyogaschool . 🌞Tue 12pm Vinyasa Hips @yttp2 ST MARKS place, 4R. $8 . 🤩Wed 11-1 Master Class @yttp2 St Marks 4R $10 . 🌞Thurs 6-7:10pm Vinyasa @threejewelsnyc . 💎Saturday Master class @threejewelsnyc 2-4:30p 11/10 12/15 . 🆘WORKSHOPS: . 👽50-hr SOS Intensive leads to 200-hr Miami, 12/1-5 @originalhotyoga305 NYC Jan 4-8, 2019 @yttpteachertraining Optional 200 certification intensive March 6-13 NYC @scienceofselfytt. . 👽50-hr SOS Acupressure Cert. @kripalu 3/31-4/5, 2019 with @benjiboyyogaboy.

See you today 11am @yttp2 🌜🔥🌛 Day 4 of #meditateforgood @threejewelsnyc 💎💎💎 Most of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is related to meditation and various ways to affect the mind. The idea is not only to calm the mind but to turn it upon itself. Is this like a knife cutting itself? It is very natural to meditate and to ask questions about the Self. Children do it! When I was about 10, I remember sitting alone a lot and thinking about how impossible the mind is to control. Most adults are not interested in this topic but Yogis are. I highly recommend reading Yoga Sutras translation by Geshe Michael Roach. Sacred books are most often written in a special language that protects the real meaning (like parables in Bible). Having a Master teacher transmit the real meaning is essential.
