Podcast appearances and mentions of urban yogi

When great difficulties arise, and troubles beset, regard your perplexity as a call to deeper thought and more vigorous action. Nothing will attack you that you are not capable of overcoming; no problem will vex you that you cannot solve. The greater your trial, the greater your test of strength, and the more complete and triumphant your victory. However complicated your maze of confusion may be, there is a way out of it, and the finding of that way will exercise your powers to the utmost, and will bring out all your latent skill, energy, and resource. When you have mastered that which threatens to master you, you will rejoice in a new-found strength. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

The storm may rage without, but it cannot affect us if there is peace within. As by the fireside there is security from the fiercest storm, so the heart that is steadfast in the knowledge of Truth abides in peace, though all around be strife and perturbation. The bitter opposition of men and the unrest of the world cannot make us bitter and restless unless we enter into and co-operate with it. Rather, if we have peace in our heart, will the outer turmoil cause our peace to deepen, to take firmer root, and to show forth more abundantly in works of peace for the softening of human hearts and the enlightening of human minds. Blessed is he who has no wrongs to remember, no injuries to forget, in whose pure heart no hateful thought about another can take root and flourish. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Do not trouble about results, or be anxious as to the future; but be troubled about personal shortcomings, and be anxious to remove them; for know this simple truth--wrong does not result from right, and a good present cannot give birth to a bad future. You are the custodian of your deeds, but not of the results which flow from them. The deeds of today bring the happiness or sorrow of tomorrow. Be therefore concerned about what you think and do, rather than about what may or may not come to you; for he whose deeds are good does not concern himself about results, and is freed from fear of future ill. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

There is no greater happiness than to be occupied with good, whether it be good thoughts, good actions, or good employment; for every good thing is fraught with bliss, and evil cannot enter the heart or house that is tenanted by all that is good. The mind whose doors are guarded by good shuts out unhappiness as the well-sentried garrison shuts out the toe. Unhappiness can only enter through unguarded doors, and even then its power over the tenant is not complete unless it find him occupied with evil. Not to entertain evil thoughts; not to do bad actions; not to engage in worthless or questionable employment, but to resort to good in all things this is the source of supreme happiness. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

As the falling rain prepares the earth for the future crops of grain and fruit, so the rains of many sorrows showering upon the heart prepare and mellow it for the coming of that wisdom that perfects the mind and gladdens the heart. As the clouds darken the earth but to cool and fructify it, so the clouds of grief cast a shadow over the heart to prepare it for nobler things. The hour of sorrow is the hour of reverence. It puts an end to the shallow sneer, the ribald jest, the cruel calumny; it softens the heart with sympathy, and enriches the mind with thoughtfulness. Wisdom is mainly recollection of all that was learned by sorrow. Do not think that your sorrow will remain; it will pass away like a cloud. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Victory of all kinds is preceded by a season of preparation. It can no more appear spontaneously and erratically than can a flower or a mountain. Like them, it is the culminating point in a process of growth, in a series of causes and effects. No mere wishing, no magic word, will produce worldly success; it must be achieved by an orderly succession of well-directed efforts. No spiritual victory will be achieved by him who imagines that it does not begin until the hour of temptation arrives. All spiritual triumphs are gained in the silent hour of meditation, and through a series of successes in lesser trials. The time of great temptation is the climax of a conquest that long preparation has made certain and complete. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Every day is a new birth in time, holding out new beginnings, new possibilities, new achievements. The ages have witnessed the stars in their orbits, but this day hath no age witnessed. It is a new appearance, a new reality. It heralds a new life- -yea, a new order, a new society, a new age. It holds out new hopes, new opportunities, to all men. In it you can become a new man, a new woman. For you it can be the day of regeneration, renewal, rebirth. From the old past with its mistakes, failures, and sorrows, you can rise a new being, endued with power and purpose, and radiant with the inspiration of a new ideal. Be chaste in mind and body. Abandon sensual pleasures. Purge the mind of selfishness, and live a life of exalted purity. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

The days are lengthening. Each day now the sun rises a little higher, and the light lingers a little longer. So each day we can strengthen our character; each day we can open our heart a little more to the light of Truth, and allow the Sun of Righteousness to shine more highly in our mind. The sun does not increase in volume or intensity, but the earth turns toward it, and receives more as it turns. All that there is of Truth and Good is now. It does not increase or diminish, but as we turn toward it we receive of its radiance and beneficence in ever-increasing abundance and power. As the artisan acquires skill in fashioning the articles of his craft by daily and diligent practice with his tools, so do you acquire skill in fashioning good deeds by daily and diligent practice of the Truth. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

The deplorable failure of many outward and isolated reforms is traceable to the fact that their devotees pursue them as an end in themselves, failing to see that they are merely steps toward ultimate, individual perfection. All true reform must come from within, in a changed heart and mind. The giving up of certain foods and drinks, and the breaking away from certain outward habits, are good and necessary beginnings; but they are only beginnings, and to end there is to fall far short of a true spiritual life. It is good, therefore, to cleanse the heart, to correct the mind, and to develop the understanding, for we know that the one thing needed is a regenerate heart. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Daily Enlightenment Affirmations & Meditations - Day 10 - Old Self to New Man The old must pass away before the new can appear. The old cottage must be demolished before the new mansion can appear upon its site. The old error must be destroyed before the new truth can come. ... The old self must be renounced before the new man can be born. When the old self of temper, impatience, envy, pride, and impurity has perished, then in its place will appear the new man of gentleness, patience, goodwill, humility, and purity. Let the old life of sin and sorrow pass; let the new life of Righteousness and joy come in. Then all that was old and ugly will be made new and beautiful. It is in the realization of this Principle where the Kingdom of Heaven, the abiding home of the soul, resides, and which is the source and storehouse of every permanent blessing. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Do not despair because of failure. From your particular failure, there is a special greatness, a peculiar wisdom, to be gained; and no teacher can lead you to that greatness, that wisdom, more surely and swiftly than your experience of failure. In every mistake you make, in every fall you encounter, there is a lesson of vital import if you will but search it out; and he who will stoop to discover the good in that which appears to be disastrous will rise superior to every event, and will utilize his failures as winged steeds to bear him to a final and supreme success. Foolish men blame others for their lapses and sins, but let the truth-lover blame only himself. Let him acknowledge his complete responsibility for his own conduct. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

All the varied activities of human life are rooted in, and draw their vitality from, one common source, the human heart. The cause of all suffering and all happiness resides, not in the outer activities of human life, but in the inner activities of the heart and mind. And every external agency is sustained by the life which it derives from human conduct. The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of Truth. He is not properly equipped to battle with and overcome temptation. He who cannot fearlessly face his lower nature cannot climb the rugged heights of renunciation. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh." Production, Voiceover, and Original Commentary by Yogi Marquis. --- About James Allen James Allen was born in Leicester, England, in 1864. He took his first job at age 15 to support his family after his father was murdered while looking for work in America. Allen was employed as a factory knitter and a private secretary until the early 1900s when he became increasingly known for his motivational writing. His 1903 work As a Man Thinketh earned him worldwide fame as a prophet of inspirational thinking and influenced a who's-who of self-help writers, including Napoleon Hill.

Daily Enlightenment Affirmations & Meditations - Day 7 - Higher Gifts Every step upward means the leaving of something behind and below. The high is reached only at the sacrifice of the low. The good is secured only by abandoning the evil. Knowledge is acquired only by the destruction of ignorance. Every acquisition has its price, which must be paid "to the last penny." Every animal, every creeping thing, possesses some gift, some power, which man, in his upward march, has laid down, which he has exchanged for some higher gift, or power. What greatness do good men forfeit by clinging to old selfish habits! Behind every humble sacrifice a winged angel waits to lift us up the heights of knowledge and wisdom. Let him who has attained divinity guard against falling back. Let him be careful in little things and be well fortified against the entrance of sin. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

As the energetic man of business is not daunted by difficulties, but studies how to overcome them, so the man of ceaseless aspiration is not crushed into submission by temptations, but meditates how he may fortify his mind, for the tempter is like a coward, he only creeps in at weak and unguarded points. The tempted one should study thoughtfully the nature and meaning of temptation, for until it is known it cannot be overcome. He who is to overcome temptation must understand how it arises in his own darkness and error and must study, by introspection and meditation, how to disperse the darkness and supplant error by truth. A man must know himself if he is to know truth. Self-knowledge is the handmaid of self-conquest. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

The Gates of Heaven are forever open, and no one is prevented from entering by any will or power but his own; but no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven so long as he is enamored of, and chooses, the seductions of hell, so long as he resigns himself to sin and sorrow. There is a larger, higher, nobler, diviner life than that of sinning and suffering, which is so common in which, indeed, nearly all are immersed- a life of victory over sin, and triumph over evil; a life wise and happy, benign and tranquil, virtuous and peaceful. This life can be found and lived now, and he who lives it is steadfast in the midst of change; restful among the restless; peaceful, though surrounded by strife. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Man attains in the measure that he aspires. His longing to be is the gauge of what he can be. To fix the mind is to foreordain the achievement. As man can experience and know all low things, so he can experience and know all high things. As he has become human, so he can become divine. The turning of the mind in high and divine directions is the sole and needful task. What is impurity but the impure thoughts of the thinker? What is purity but the pure thoughts of the thinker? One man does not do the thinking of another. Each man is pure or impure of himself alone. The man of aspiration sees before him the pathway up the heavenly heights, and his heart already experiences a foretaste of the final peace. —- This meditation was written by James Allen the author of "As A Man Thinketh."

Quite a few years ago, Russell was tasked with helping out with a documentary film crew in Mysore. Not sure what his title would've been? Chief Gopher or Assistant Talent Manager? Basically, he was there to make sure the film crew interacted with the Jois family in a positive way. The whole point of the documentary was to promote SEVA, the work of helping others and devoting your life to selfless service. Sevā is a Sanskrit word that describes the act of selfless service. Its meaning is said to be embodied by the root words saha, meaning "with that," and eva, meaning "too," which together mean "together with." So the film crew, in its inimitable way, asked Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, “Guruji, is seva necessary to spiritual growth?” What a softball question, right? How easy it could've been for a modern, socially intelligent, person to riff off of this question… “Yes, of course, helping others is crucial to our own development and care for society in general…” (that's what everyone there expected him to say). He could've said something like that. So easy… Except that's not all what he said. His mission perhaps, was more focused vertical enlightenment, teaching impermanence and God in all things. So instead, he said simply, “No. Not necessary.” And, Russell had no response but to hide his head in hands. No, of course its not necessary. Or is it? The answer will be coloured according to your unique point of view. The ancient king turned sage, Visvamitra, reached enlightenment through blind hate for his neighbour the preeminent sage, Vasishta. Perhaps this is an example of how Seva isn't necessary — It's just something we appreciate from our modern, Judeo-Christian influenced, perspective. Our guest today, Ben Eckett, is fairly new to Ashtanga, starting back in 2016; but he's lived a life devoted to serving fellow humans and his constantly focused on increasing good in the world. He's super charming and full of passion and emanates love for his life's mission. He's a “Devon man,” and like his yogi grandfather, devilishly handsome. We asked him about the contradiction in teaching boxing and yoga to kids and prison-mates. Is there a contradiction to teaching martial arts as a tool towards the betterment of a more loving society? And, what it seems to come down to is engagement, selfless action, the breath, and love. And, in the end… Love is all you need.

Here's another episode of Conversation with Friends with a different direction. You can watch the video version of the same episode at https://youtu.be/UYqDm-9-vAU As part of the celebration for AAPI Heritage Month, we have Calvin & Theresa Curameng from College Park Yoga, located in College Park, FL, a community just outside of Downtown Orlando. 20 years ago, it was not an easy decision for an Asian American person to embrace the life of an Urban Yogi. We went into business, medicine, technology, law or education. You get the idea. So when Calvin & Theresa Curameng whom the students affectionately refer to as C & T set out to create College Park Yoga, it was quite an adventure! The studio was built on "pizza boxes". (You will have to watch the interview to find out what that really means!) In 2020/2021, College Park Yoga encountered COVID-19. Like many other small businesses, CPY faced and is still facing an uncertain fate. Perhaps this is what yoga practice does for you: flexibility. This has also been a time full of newness and creativity for them. Calvin & Theresa created the Liquid Fire Yoga Practice: "Yoga practice is the art of learning to handle friction. The friction of the water and fire inside of our very being. The friction of opposition; action and inaction. It's the power to discern what you love from what you think you love." This is a quote from their website www.LiquidFireYoga.com You can find out more about who they are, their classes (online and in person) and many other fun and wonderful things they do by visiting their website: www.CollegeParkYoga.com #AAPI #AAPIHeritage #Yoga --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shirley-wang6/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shirley-wang6/support

Hyped to share the 1st brand new #OffTheRecord segment which is an opportunity to talk about life beyond music; where culture meets the real world. My debut guest is Urban Yogi Krishna; a spiritual wellness teacher, sound healer and DJ who hosts sober parties in Bombay, India. We chopped it up about:  the state of mental health in young artists how to not feel the pressure to drink or take substances for networking nights out comparing sound healing to sonar stimulating your chakras through frequencies

I met today's guest in my very first kundalini yoga teacher training and we've continued taking trainings from Guru Singh in Seattle for the last couple of years - and I wanted to have her on as a teacher but also as an example of someone who moved through serious addiction to drugs and alcohol and on the other side - is more real and more uniquely herself than she'd ever been before.In this conversation we talked about addictions, coping tools and distractions and how they work until they don't. And when it becomes obvious that these things aren't working the way they used to, it means we're ready to start seeing what's underneath those behaviors. Kalei herself is 15 years sober and she'll tell us her story about what it took to create a life that didn't need drugs and alcohol, how kundalini yoga came into the picture, and what she's doing now as a teacher and a creative, growing human being!I hope you enjoy this conversation with Kalei Myers, the Urban Yogi.Links:The Urban Yogi on FacebookThe Urban Yogi on InstagramFree Spirit Academy websiteFree Spirit Academy coursesFree Spirit Academy Facebook groupWork with me
