Dharma Talk One: Fearless Action on the Path of Yoga
Fearless action suggests spontaneity, a spontaneity that comes from years of rigorous and in depth training in the mind/body discipline of yoga. It is an art to act timely and appropriately in order not be restricted or confined by the action itself. One of the great metaphors in the yoga tradition for fearless action is that of the archer releasing his/her bow. The archer aims at the target with eyes softly focused, without wavering, without craving and in a spirit of letting go.

Dharma Talk Two: Planting the Heart Seed of Awakening
We typically think of wakefulness as belonging to the mind, yet on the yoga path wakefulness is not only to have good clarity and concentration of mind, but to have great capacity for sensitivity and feeling in the heart. How is it that one generates wakefulness in the heart? By insight into the impermanence of all things, the frailty of being and the inevitable fact of our own death.
