Whenever life is changing, I find myself returning again and again to the ancient teachings of Tantra. No matter what teaching I'm contemplating, I always arrive at the same place – the heart. Ashaya Yoga is the path of the heart.

On the path of the heart, perhaps one of the most difficult—and most worthwhile—practices is learning not to say everything that comes into your mind, especially when those thoughts take the form of criticism, judgment, or complaint. My practice has been to create a sacred pause of awareness between what I'm thinking and what I'm about to say.
