  Yoga for Creative Minds -...

  Yoga and creativity are inherently intertwined, both relying on the flow of energy within the body and mind. Creativity, in its purest form, is the ability to generate new ideas, to solve problems in innovative ways, and to express oneself authentically. Yet, many people struggle with accessing this creative potential, often encountering mental blocks or feelings of uncertainty. Yoga offers a path to unlock this potential, creating the ideal environment for the mind and body to collaborate in creative expression. 
  At its core, yoga is about cultivating mindfulness and presence. When we practice yoga, we learn to become deeply aware of our breath, our body, and our mind. This heightened awareness allows us to clear the clutter from our thoughts, creating space for creativity to flourish. Yoga encourages us to be present in the moment, removing distractions that may otherwise stifle creative thinking. As we move through the poses, we tap into a state of flow, where the body and mind work in perfect harmony. This state of flow is closely linked to the creative process, as it fosters a sense of ease, focus, and openness to new ideas. 
  The connection between yoga and creativity is also rooted in the principle of balance. In yoga, we seek to find equilibrium within ourselves, whether through balancing poses or through the integration of breath and movement. Similarly, creativity thrives when we find balance between structure and freedom, discipline and spontaneity. Just as a yoga practice requires both strength and flexibility, creative work demands both the ability to stay grounded and the freedom to explore new possibilities. The balance cultivated on the mat can be translated into the creative process, allowing individuals to stay focused while remaining open to new insights and ideas.

  Terrible Beauty - Reckoning with...

  Auden Schendler

  Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. 
   
   
   
  The problem is, none of this—whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics—will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. 
   
   
   
  As Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?
