I myself am the air, I breathe myself in and out with every breath. I myself the stars in the sky, distant galaxies, other life forms, multi-dimensional beings – all me. I say the spell and I feel the communion, like a web of little tendrils of energy all connected to my heart center. My heart opens…
Welcome to the Language Yoga Challenge! As a quick refresher, Language Yoga is a linguistic tool and spiritual practice which works to help one experience unity through language by translating externalizing nouns and pronouns (we, you, us, they, our, it, them, names of other people…) into personal pronouns which promote ownership (me, myself, I…). Example: “You must…
I uncovered the phrase, “I’ve become identical with myself again,” while working on this week’s Language Yoga Challenge. To me, this is the ultimate message of unity, that “I am identical to myself.” I am amazed at how these translations flip my perception of my world from divided to unified, again and again.

My heart is beating faster and faster, I feel my life’s flow coursing through my body. Suddenly I stop…stand still; come into feeling, watching, smelling and listening. Wind bursts; clouds of powdery…
I language yogini Sarah Peterson has this to say: “Evolutionary sex is experienced when complete individuals merge and consciously co-create. From this co-creation, a new era of balance, unity and consciousness is born. My revolution is sexual in nature. I choose to revolt against my imbalanced, hyper-masculine culture. I do this by by refusing to…
“Personally, I want to live in a culture of self-empowered beings, where each being balances and heals itself for the benefit of the whole.
