Who doesn’t have a cell phone these days? The average American is glued to their screen for 5 to 6 hours a day. How many texts do you fire off before lunch? Globally, we send a staggering 25 billion text messages daily, often without a second thought. Texting has flipped the script on how we communicate, act, and connect. Now, we can keep our distance and still stay in touch. With a screen as our shield, we sometimes type things we’d never dare say face to face. Have you ever sent a message and waited, only to see no reply—though you know they saw it?

Did you know texting actually messes with the dopamine in our brains? Dopamine is the brain’s pleasure chemical, and the suspense of waiting for a reply can make us restless. We find ourselves overanalyzing every word, searching for hidden meanings. This guessing game can spark misunderstandings and pile on anxiety. The way we text can strain our relationships. Endlessly checking our phones is like gamblers waiting for the next big win. In this way, technology can quietly become a health risk.

When a message pops up, we hold the power to respond—or to leave someone hanging. Even if we care, we sometimes let texts sit unread when something else feels more urgent. Do you ever glance at your messages and decide to ignore them, just because you can? Or maybe you’ve sent a message that wasn’t so kind?

If this sounds familiar, it’s no wonder relationships can buckle under the weight of texting and digital mind games. Remember, technology is meant to serve us, not distract us. So what are the real rules of texting? The first lesson from yoga is to do no harm. You matter more than any device. True awareness means being fully present in every moment—whether you’re working, eating, sleeping, or texting. Let mindfulness guide your texting. As you grow more aware, you might notice old habits quietly fading away. You become more relaxed, more receptive. Suddenly, a deep peace starts flowing. Enjoy your life!

Are you working, or are you retired? Often we misinterpret the word retire. For many people, work, cleaning, exercising, cooking, and even driving feel like burdens. They look forward to the end of the day. We often think life is just about working and then retiring. People say, 'That's life.' But is it really? Is that what our bodies, made up of trillions of cells, are meant for? Our amazing energy centers? Is life supposed to be fixed and mechanical? Are we missing our value while waiting to retire?

As we work, we often look forward to retirement. Most American workers plan to retire around age 65 or later, but in reality, almost half leave work earlier than expected because of health problems or job loss. Retirement should not be the end of our working life or the start of old age. It is also about how our bodies and minds work together. Be mindful of what you’re doing to yourself in an unhappy work environment.

Retirement is a daily practice of resting, being present, and enjoying each moment. It is not about turning sixty-five or becoming weak. Retirement is a state of mind and spirit, not just a date on the calendar. Start practicing retirement now, not as an end-of-life ritual. Retire a little every day, every moment. When we enjoy our moments, we are already retired. What do you enjoy? Do you like to cook? Food tastes better when it comes from someone who enjoys cooking than from someone who doesn’t. That is what you enjoy. That is what retirement really means.

Stop letting society dictate when you should enjoy your moments; be peaceful, happy, and liberated. Reflect on how you live. Live for health and wellness, peace and happiness. Retirement can happen every day, in every moment. Many of us think of the word 'retirement' as a magical age or a sign of weakness. But actually, the word 'retire' is beautiful. It means to rest after your work is done. Enjoy that rest. Don’t wait to enjoy life. Retirement really means enjoying the present, right now.

Retire in the moment. Live your own way. Let your inner beauty shine. Retire today.

Most of the time, we view situations the wrong way. It's called mental distortions: our mind convinces us of something that isn't entirely true. It's deep because the situation did happen. But it's how our mind interprets it that determines whether we're growing.

That's because many of us go through life holding on to grudges that shape how we act. Listen to yourself. We carry things from the classroom or our home that felt unfair. Those experiences define how we interact with others. Sadly, they breed an immature mindset, which shows up in how we relate to one another. We're defensive, hyper, ego-driven, and negative rather than mature.

Every situation we encounter reveals whether we are growing or remaining stagnant, whether we are maturing or being immature.

What we don't realize is that we wouldn't change anything in our lives if certain events didn't occur. So when something happens, whether we are being evicted, losing a job, ending a relationship, or having to move, we can misinterpret it.

Or we can grow by changing our mindset. When we do, our consciousness and our actions will follow suit. No longer do we think of ourselves as victims, nor live in a world of negativity, arguing, cynicism, depression, or anger.

We realize that when something happens, it's for a reason. And that often, something better awaits us. The end of a relationship isn't negative; it's an opportunity. If our living situation changes, maybe it's for the best; the job we try to hold on to may be harming us physically and mentally.

Embrace the energy of fall and the Full Harvest Moon by letting go of thoughts that no longer serve you. Start viewing the world with a clearer, more positive mindset.

Meditate to grow and mature. When we commit to this path, we invite light into our lives, leading to joy and bliss. Step back and take a break from the distractions of social media, television, past unfairness, and the urge to compare ourselves to others. Refrain from being judgmental or condemning. Be aware of the situation without letting it negatively influence you. Heal your mind. Transform your life.

Happy Autumn Equinox 2026! Fall officially began today at 8:05 p.m. EDT. The equinox is that wonderful time of year when the sun aligns perfectly over the Earth's equator. In fact, the word "equinox" comes from Latin: "aequus" means equal, and "nox" means night. This gives us almost equal hours of day and night, allowing us to enjoy a near balance of light and darkness before the nights begin to stretch out. Take a moment to notice this shift!

Despite our imbalances, how many of us are truly aware of the Autumn Equinox? This is a perfect time to focus on balance and embrace transformation. Honor the equilibrium of light and dark by reflecting on our personal growth.

Spend some time in nature; the autumn leaves symbolize change, letting go, and the natural cycle of life and renewal. What's happening in your life? Who among us doesn't have something to transform? Have you noticed the leaves falling from the trees? The leaves are shifting, turning to gold!

Have you tuned in to yourself lately? Over the years—twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or even sixty—are you finding yourself repeating the same narratives? It's time to sync with nature and give yourself permission to rest. This means embracing balance, letting go, and gaining understanding.

The Fall Equinox offers a moment ripe for transformation and carries a powerful balancing energy. Through transformation, we awaken. But we must shed the ego, let go of fears and conditioning, and accept challenges. We go from trying to control everything around us to discovering who we truly are. Connect with the Fall Experience and feel your power. Start creating!

Being grateful transforms us...

Many of us tend to take each other for granted. We fail to feel, show, or express gratitude for their presence, kindness, help, or good things in our lives. We get more excited about a sale at our local grocery store than the chance to connect with one another.

Still throughout the day, we're receiving countless gifts we ignore. Whether it's riding in a car, having shelter, drinking clean water, walking, or simply talking to one another. Have you gone to the doctor and received a clean bill of health? Or perhaps you've narrowly avoided a fall or a car accident? When we lack gratitude, we start to see these positive moments as things we're entitled to, not gifts. This is arrogance.

So, what exactly do we mean by arrogance? It's when we become so wrapped up in ourselves that we overlook the good things happening around us. We complain. Arrogance often stems from our ego, leading us to endless debates about divinity and religion. It blinds us and shows up in both spiritual beliefs and everyday interactions. With arrogance, we display an inflated sense of self-worth while diminishing others' importance.

Life, though, has a way of humbling some of us. Have you lost both your parents at a young age? Were you among the 745,652 individuals who experienced homelessness in the U.S. last year? Or were you one of the more than 13 million people who had their electricity cut off?

Moreover, in the past year, about 7.4 million Americans lost their jobs. As of mid-September 2026, nearly 45 million people have passed away worldwide. Have you faced a serious health diagnosis? Be grateful!

We take our existence—and the people in it—for granted. We ignore their calls and texts. Embrace gratitude. Let's shed our arrogance. It's then we recognize that, even when we're hard at work, something deeper often empowers us to keep going. Let's be grateful for our experiences, which lead us toward enlightenment. Adopt a practice that heals --be grateful. Embrace those around you. Realize that our very existence is a rare and a precious gift.

"Journey Within Yourself"

We usually take 2 to 4 long trips each year, mostly for fun. Reportedly, about 71% of us have made it outside the country at least once. All in all, we are expected to shell out around $1.37 trillion on travel, with most of that—about 87%—going to trips within the country.

Americans are pretty much always on the move. Whether we call it a vacation, getting away, running away, respite- even when you call someone, usually they're going somewhere. We hear about people planning trips to all sorts of places. Usually they're trips, not journeys. Where are you going? But the greatest journey that we will take is inward. It transforms us.

That's a journey toward truth: knowing who you are. Many travel outward, but true discovery happens inside. Despite visiting many places, some of us have been nowhere. We haven't taken the grand voyage. So we're miserable. We're stuck. We're not living.

Who I am is not a fixed destination to find, but an ongoing, living journey of awareness and experience. Our ancestors' teaching is that self-knowledge means realizing our uniqueness and divinity. We are no longer a mere ego, diagnoses, manufactured beliefs, borrowed rules, an IQ score, or a bunch of mental facts.

No matter where we plan to go, it pales if we lack self-knowledge. On this journey of self-knowledge, we become limitless. No passports are needed, and there are no visa problems. We can move into the past where we go back, and get it. More importantly, we're in the present moment. We realize living is the present. Discover who you are. Take a journey of life -awaken to your true self...Know thyself.

Its Alright To Make Mistakes but...

A lot of us keep making the same mistakes. It's human nature. It's astonishing how so many of us keep stumbling into the same pitfalls, time and time again!

Consider this: a divorce lawyer shared that most people end up remarrying someone very similar to their ex. We tend to get into the same types of relationships. We might end up having the same intense fights, hanging out in the same unhealthy places, or even munching on the same junk food. Who wants to repeat the same blunders? We don't.

Why do we repeat the same mistakes? It's because we're cruising through life on autopilot, oblivious to the vital lessons that our experiences are eager to teach us. It seems we're stuck in a cycle where everything around us changes, but our inner world doesn't. What's even more intriguing is that sometimes we only recognize a mistake as a misstep because the community points it out. Instead, we should uncover deeper insights from the pain it brings.

Our choices and decisions change when we dig into why the mistake happened in the first place. Ditch the fear and guilt. It's alright to make mistakes. Everyone does — that's part of life. Are you aware of your mistakes? Have you learned from them?

So, let's wake up to the incredible teachings hidden within our experiences, even the mistakes. They remind us that we're human. Those stumbles also help us figure things out and learn. However, embrace the chance to make new mistakes every day. Let's break free from those repetitive cycles to truly transform our lives! Go within and learn to meditate.

Did you know that besides our brain, our gut actually has the second-biggest network of neurons in your body? Our brain and gut are packed with billions of neurons that help us think, feel, coordinate our bodies, and digest food. So, what we put in our minds and what we eat affects our health and wellness.

Think about it: A lot of what goes on in our heads comes from outside sources—like our parents, friends, TV, news, and social media. From a young age, we soak up the thoughts and beliefs that the world throws at us. This social conditioning shapes who we are, our morals, and even our worries, turning us into products of society.

Most of this happens in the first seven years of life. It works subtly, stripping away our unique qualities and molding us into something easier to control. This process leaves us feeling inadequate, as if we are not enough. Over time, we find ourselves caught in a cycle of greed, competition, and discontent, leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, and restlessness. All of this stems from what's trapped in our heads. Stuff that distances us from our true selves and throws our nervous systems into disarray.

But it's not just our head; our stomach gets messed up too. We suffer from a high rate of digestive issues. Nearly two-thirds of adults experience stomach ailments: heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.

How about we change it? Embrace what makes us unique. Break away from the limits of society! We are limitless. Pay attention to what we're feeding our minds and bodies. Stop digesting the garbage in your head and stomach. Take charge of your life.

How much time do we spend on social media, endlessly scrolling? Instead, pick up a book, get outside, and enjoy nature. What leaves you feeling anxious, angry, or drained? Let it go. Before you click on an app or a news article, stop for a second—ask yourself why you're doing it. Pay attention to what you're eating, too. Junk in the gut is harmful. Your body needs food, not sweet poison.

Your brain and gut rely on what you put in. You deserve the best. No more excuses. Be well. Join the Ase Yoga Ayurvedic Cleanse 3-day cleanse on September 19th.

We all make plans for this or that—planning is a national pastime that occupies a significant portion of our lives. We plan to go here, attend that event, wear a particular outfit, and eat specific foods. Our lives revolve around plans for the next five minutes, five hours, five days, or even five years. So, what's your plan?

Planning involves organizing things before we actually start. In doing so, we often neglect to live spontaneously. Or appreciate the present moment.

What happens when life doesn't go as planned? How do you react if you don't get that job, it rains on the day you planned to go to the beach, you want coffee but don't have any, your trip is canceled, your wedding is called off, you didn't get into the school of your choice, or your luggage is lost while traveling? Countless plans go awry.

Do you throw a tantrum, get angry, sulk, or create a negative atmosphere? Many people do, as if that will change the situation. Think about how you respond when things don't go as planned. Often, we have little patience when life doesn't unfold as we expect. We fear uncertainty.

Life teaches us, though, that even with detailed schedules and calendar apps, things may still not go as intended. So live in the moment. When we truly engage with the present, we experience life more fully. We realize our luggage is lost, so we look for other ways to have fun. We focus on enjoying the present moment.

Focus on the present moment and experience it instead of worrying about the future. Understand that life doesn't always follow our plans. Interestingly, when our plans don't happen, it may actually work out in our favor.

Planning is all about getting ready for what's next. We should, however, embrace life's uncertainties. By doing so, we let go of our worries, stress less, and the uncertain experience feels lighter. Of course, we will keep planning. But let's not forget our beautiful present moment. That means dropping the past or projecting into the future. Instead, we tune into what's happening right now. Pay attention to "now"; life becomes clearer. After all, the present moment is the only true reality.

What are you thinking about? Or overthinking? It matters because our thoughts, which come and go, determine what we do and how we feel. Our thoughts are super powerful; they can actually manifest the situations we worry about.

What we do flows from our minds. So what's on your mind? Over the years, many of us have adapted to a "crowd mind" and rely on others' opinions. We're following the herd. That's why we look like spoofs of images we see on television and social media.

Ask yourself: why are you doing what you do? Or why have you done what you have done? Indeed, other people have created us. For instance, when someone tells us we're smart, we totally believe it; if they say we're not, we start questioning ourselves. Some people go through life feeling ugly because no one has told them otherwise. Essentially, we become what people call us. When will we start expressing who we are?

We put too much weight on how people view us. Worrying over their opinions, we go along with what others do; we don't think. Instead, we go through the motions like robots on autopilot. Who are you? It's a classic question.

What is the mind? Our mind is a medley of our conditioning, consciousness, and unconsciousness. Our mind holds memories and past impressions that shape how we think. It also stores everything we have experienced, which then influences our active thoughts.

Awaken! To be well, healthy, and happy, we must practice repairing our minds. We do that by becoming more aware. When we do, we no longer rely on the mind, which our ego, our false selves, is fueling. Actually, most of us are no more than egos, wearing a mask. We often don't know our authentic selves; we create artificial identities through our work titles, education, and even our accomplishments.

Be for real. It's time to live—not merely survive. As we do, transformation becomes a priority. Through transformation, we replace darkness with light, ignorance with enlightenment, chaos with peace, and toxicity with illumination. Learn to meditate...
