Reflections

The Dharma of Michael Brooks

August 13, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

In this tribute, I’d like to mention three potential primary source thinkers and their books that I think had a strong influence on the man that Michael Brooks became. These three are what I’m calling the Triple Gem of Michael Brooks’ Dharma.

The Path of the Inner Bodhisattva

August 10, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

And it can be like that internally… when a dynamic of tension between parts or within a part, when that tension dissolves or unravels or is unburdened, there can be an experience of calm and quiet that unfolds, similar to the experience of a distant hum suddenly switching off.

July 13, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

Winter: The Sacred Portal

December 3, 2019

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

When we become stripped of our illusory perceptions of being separate, we can experience two simultaneous feelings. The first is a deep and liberating truth of interconnection and love. But we may also feel a profound sadness and mourning for all the energy invested in protecting and defending a self-image that was never actually there in the first place.

4 Principles for Designing a Better Relationship with Our Digital Devices

July 1, 2019

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

In our yoga and meditation practice, we often value the cultivation of attention and awareness. But how might we better design our environment to support the development of attention? How might this redesign reinforce the intentions of our practice?
