I love the metaphor of the universe as a magic show. Like any piece of supreme theater, its real and yet not real,always shifting, always drawing you in with the power of the performances. And there are several possible attitudes that a yogi can take towards it all. You can get completely entangled in it, tossed up and down by the tides of karma and change. You can turn up your nose, call it 'Maya,' and reject it. Or, you can recognize it for what it is and marvel at it in all its wonders, its sorrows, and its confusing shifts and changes. These days, I'm choosing to interact with reality with an attitude of adoration. To love the world without qualification, however it presents itself. How do you do that when its painful, unjust, confusing? Ah, that's the practice, and the challenge.

Ayurvedic lunch for an already hot girl!

Yesterday I tried eating a more ayurvedic lunch - soo in place of my usual cold salad I had warm stuffed red peppers. I am such a hot person that, especially during summer months, I reach for cold beverages and foods. Perhaps this tendency is why I struggle with energy during the hotter months. Obviously a one day experiment isn't conclusive enough, but after I had a warm lunch, I was burning up! I would love to hear everyone's thoughts & tips on this, especially if this is something you have experimented with, or struggled with, or studied. Thanks! Amber
