PRANAYAMA IS DERIVED fron two Sanskrit words - prana (life) and ayama (control). Pranayama is therefore life control and not “breath control.” The broadest meaning of the word prana is force of energy. In this sense, the universe is filled with prana; all creation is a manifestation of force, a play of force. Everything that was, is, or shall be, is nothing but the different modes of expression of the universal force. The universal prana is thus the Para-Prakiti (pure Nature), immanent energy or force which is derived from the infinite Spirit, and which permeates and sustains the universe.

Success should be
measured by the
yardstick of happiness;
by your ability to remain
in peaceful harmony
with cosmic laws.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company - 
I found this website from an article in Natural Home magazine and immediately fell in love with these tiny homes and the entire concept of downsizing…a LOT! I put a check in the mail today for Jay Shafer’s book of plans and pictures, and synchronistically, Jay was featured on the news this evening! AOL also featured an article on Jay and other small home builders this week. I guess it’s true that once you’re aware of something, you notice it everywhere!

beautiful dawn mandala art dkp © 2006A breathtaking dawn of a new day is something to be admired. Once you begin analysing the whys and wherefores, instead of elation all you get is excavation, which doesn’t lead to anything and doesn’t change anything. ~ from The Ringing of the Cedars by Vladimir Megre (Anastasia)
Beautiful dawn you’re just blowing my mind again.
