Meditations on Intention and Being
Meditations on Intention and Being: Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga, Mindfulness, and Compassion | Rolf Gates
4 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Yoga has never been more popular. Throughout the United States, people are turning to this ancient practice as a response to the pressures of today’s hectic world. In Meditations on Intention and Being, acclaimed yoga teacher Rolf Gates draws on twenty years of teaching experience to explore and explain how to take the mindfulness of yoga off the mat and integrate it into every aspect of life. Presented in the form of 365 inspirational daily reflections, Gates helps readers—from experienced yogis to novices seeking a little tranquility—to fundamentally reconsider their relationships with their minds, bodies, and the universe around them through self-reflection. Over the course of seven chapters, he explores Effortlessness, Nonviolence, The Spirit of Practice, Mindfulness, Compassion and Loving-kindness, Equanimity and Joy, and Intention and Being, giving readers the tools they need to effect positive changes in their lives.

This will be my last review of 2016! This book has short readings for each day of the year so I've read it slowly over the past year. Rolf Gates came from foster care and addiction to a place of peace through yoga. His daily writings on living with intention and being present for your life are motivating and inspiring.

"Gain and loss, praise and blame, arise and pass like the sun and moon moving through an eternal cycle. Watching as the world around me flowed into and out of existence, a question formed in my heart and mind together: Which is better, the sun or the moon? . . . Often when you step onto the right path, it looks like you're taking a step backward toward the darkness of uncertainty." Well, I hope he's right and we are on the right path.
