The theme at yoga – which I finally went back to after a two month hiatus – is om. Perfect huh? Om. It is everything – the universal vibration. I love when we om in class, it has such a great feeling.<\/p>\n
I am entering the afternoon of my life as I segue out of the morning of my life (Carl Jung divided a person’s life this way). The morning is all about I, about accumulation, about ambition, about acquiring. And the afternoon is about the search for meaning.<\/p>\n
