Freckles and Waking Up

Last updated on: October 29, 2013 at 1:13 pm By David Matthew Brown

I was baking yesterday with my daughter. We made banana muffins with walnuts. The day was cold, and my place was filled with the smells of coffee and muffins. As we were mixing, my daughter inquired into why I have so many freckles, I said, “Well I asked that same question of my grandma one day, and she told me my freckles would merge into a nice tan, but as you can see they did not, so I believe I...

Survivors

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 10:22 am By David Matthew Brown

I have the opportunity every couple of months to facilitate a wonderful workshop with Cancer survivors. Every time I show up to facilitate I feel like a kid, I learn so much. Everyone in that room has survived cancer, some multiple times, and each has a story. When you get the word from the doc that you have the “C” word, there are many things that happen, your relationships change, work changes, health changes, attitude changes, everything that you once...

Road Map To The Heart

Last updated on: October 22, 2013 at 10:41 am By David Matthew Brown

As I walked outside this morning, the sun was breaking through the early morning fog, the birds were singing, and the first cars of the day were making their way down the street. I used to think that there were all these paths to get to the present, but as I continue to blossom inwardly it is slowly occurring to me that the present moment offers its own way to the heart. As I walk down the street everything outside... Read more

Join The Revolution

Last updated on: October 21, 2013 at 10:33 am By David Matthew Brown

We are revolutionaries! Not the old kind, meaning the kind that go out and cause chaos, destroy people, property, and think that this behavior works. That behavior feeds back into the world system. I am speaking to an inner revolution. Going inside yourself like the great teachers before you, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Teresa of Avila, etc… We are geared to “know ourselves”. We are designed to love, be compassionate, kind, generous, abundant, healthy, and to feel. We must... Read more

100 Days Of Yoga: Releasing the Ego And Resting

Last updated on: October 19, 2013 at 8:33 am By David Matthew Brown

When I first started my 30 days of straight of hot yoga it was done with purpose, the purpose was to stay open to vulnerability as a person, and most importantly for my daughter When the idea of 90 straight days came up, it was to help build the habit of vulnerability, and felt natural, even though when I mentioned it to people their mouths dropped, “90 days!” After the 90 days I continued to go to class. But what... Read more

Zen Story: Maybe

Last updated on: October 17, 2013 at 9:02 pm By David Matthew Brown

This is one of my favorite Zen stories. Enjoy MAYBE There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically. “May be,” the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed. “May be,” replied the old man. The following... Read more

Day 96: Modo Yoga, Embrace Your Feelings

Last updated on: October 14, 2013 at 3:46 pm By David Matthew Brown

As I continue to practice Modo Yoga in LA, I stepped into a Modo Flow with teacher Grant. It was there on my mat sweating that I realized the power of stillness. As you learn to quiet more, you will discover that you become like a bow and arrow. When the body, mind, and spirit are one, all is quiet, and so when inspiration hits, it hits the bow and fires off into the world. But first you must bow... Read more

Yes the 90 days straight days of Modo Yoga challenge is over, and yes I am still going. It will stop soon, but till it does, I entered Yin class today. I entered class with a tight strain on my right side of my neck. During Saturday’s soccer game I moved one my many under 8 year old girls and strained something. I am okay mom. So I entered class with the intention to realign, and caught myself saying to... Read more

You Are Not Alone

Last updated on: October 11, 2013 at 2:52 pm By David Matthew Brown

It is always interesting when we look back at things in our life, such as a lost job, business venture, relationship, if we can go all the way back to the very first moment we will see that we had already received the yes or no about the situation. There was a period in my life where my “no” really meant, “Well I don’t want to go, but if you convince then maybe I will go.” Then your friends convince... Read more

Wrap Up Of 90 Straight: Unconditional Acceptance

Last updated on: October 10, 2013 at 9:48 pm By David Matthew Brown

Life is simply a series of breaths that are continuous. Yes the circumstances, situations, people, move on and off the stage of life, but the breath continues to breath.
