I'm Not Listening!

What I find myself missing is the silence and the time outs that were an inherent part of my earlier life; my life before cell phones, e-mails, texts, twitters, and the general oppressive and compulsive nature of technology. After I came back from a vacation, I found myself not answering my cell phone, not returning messages, not turning on my computer and generally craving being outdoors and unplugged.

Kapalwhat?

My friend Gargi is a world class yoga master and she has spent long hours trying to teach me Kapalwhatchamacallit. Actually it’s called Kapalbathi and it is an ancient and amazing form of breathing.

The Beauty Biz

I want to give you an interesting truth here. All of us, and I mean ALL of us as women are unique in our bodies. And at the same time, none of us, and I mean NONE of us are happy with our body in its natural state. This has developed into the beauty biz.

The Hypnotizing Effect of Drug Commercials

I think everyone would love to have peaceful sleep every single night. More and more pharmaceutical medications are targeting insomnia as a condition that requires medication.
