Have you ever contemplated, "What do I truly deserve?"

Yoga Of Recovery students are invited to participate in our weekly of related texts. Here is an excerpt from Melody Beattie's :

"Insisting on the Best
We deserve the best life & has to offer, but we are each faced with the challenge of learning to identify what that means in our life. We must each come to grips with our own understanding of what we believe we deserve, what we want, & whether we are receiving it.

There is only one place to start, & that is right where we are, in our current circumstances. The place we begin is with us.

What hurts? What makes us angry? What are we whining and complaining about? Are we discounting how much a particular behavior is hurting us? Are we making excuses for the other person, telling ourselves we're "too demanding"?

Are we reluctant, for a variety of reasons, especially , to tackle the issues in our that may be hurting us? Do we know what's hurting us and do we know that we have a right to stop our pain, if we want to do that?

We can begin the from deprived to deserving. We can start it today. We can also be patient & gentle with ourselves as we travel in important increments from believing we deserve second best, to knowing in our hearts that we deserve the best, and taking responsibility for that.

Today, I will pay attention to how I allow people to treat me, & how I feel about that. I will also watch how I treat others. I will not overreact by taking their issues too personally & too seriously; I will not under react by denying that certain behaviors are inappropriate & not acceptable to me."

There is a crucial difference between cure and healing. Gabor explores both in his next book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture being released on September 13, 2022 and available for pre-order now:

What is addiction? How does it (and why does it) manifest? How can we not only overcome, but heal from addiction? How can we, as a friend, sister, brother, mother, father, husband, wife, or teacher, support those we love in their journey with this "dis-ease"? Durga Leela is a magnificent teacher - I strongly recommend her workshops and retreats to one and all. Addiction is something that we, as a society, must understand on a completely different level in order to be able to move beyond.

All of us are working to recover our true selves. Whether we are trying to create more balance in our lives or find new ways to cope with everyday stress. Durga Leela's teachings on the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, combined with the spiritual path of yoga, and the 12 step principles of recovery make so much sense for everyday living. The program is empowering. It has personally and professionally enhanced my life. ~ Céline

Life is longing...

Don’t be afraid of your longing; follow it where it's telling you to go.

"The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing....[yet] they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.” -- C.S. Lewis

Yoga Of Recovery students reading for the week from "Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie

"February 9
Letting Go in Love
When people with a compulsive disorder do whatever it is they are compelled to do, they are not saying they don’t love you—they are saying they don’t love themselves. — CODEPENDENT NO MORE

Gentle people, gentle souls, go in love.
Yes, at times we need to be firm, assertive: those times when we change, when we acquire a new behavior, when we need to convince others and ourselves we have rights.
Those times are not permanent. We may need to get angry to make a decision or set a boundary, but we can’t afford to stay resentful. It is difficult to have compassion for one who is victimizing us, but once we’ve removed ourselves as victims, we can find compassion.
Our path, our way, is a gentle one, walked in love—love for self, love for others. Set boundaries. Detach. Take care of ourselves. And as quickly as possible, do those things in love.

Today, and whenever possible, God, let me be gentle with myself and others. Help me find the balance between assertive action taken in my own best interests, and love for others. Help me understand that at times those two ideas are one. Help me find the right path for me."

Yes!!

To boost immunity, forget ‘magic pills.’ Focus on sleep, exercise, diet and cutting stress. It’s human nature to look for quick fixes. But experts say it’s best to follow these scientifically confirmed approaches to improve overall health.

A new operating system

Yoga Of Recovery is now online! We are in week 3 of Yoga Of Recovery Between the Mat & the Meeting: Ayurveda for Our 'Addictiveness'

Here is what a recent student had to say about in the format:

"This was a wonderful. Durga is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and she conveyed it all with such clarity and compassion. I've never experienced a training that aligned practical skills, Ayurveda, and spirituality so well. The format also worked very well - the balance of videos to in-person, and the duration and intervals of each, worked really well for my learning style."
