Today, Sunday, January 5th is the biggest online dating of the year. That news story caught my attention for some reason so I read more. Dating sites will experience heavy traffic with some spiking as high as 80% more than normal. Why: The reason is due to a mix of New Year's resolutions, post-holiday breakups and Valentine's Day around the corner, says one dating authority. The phrase "post holiday breakups" caught my attention so I did some research. Here are the top five times during the year when breakups occur:
1. New Year's Day - a good time to make a new year resolution to part company.
2. Valentine's Day - the time it is determined a partner isn't romantic enough.
3. March - the whole month. This has something to do with longer days, more light physically and leading to more light emotionally. Time to let go of a relationship which just isn't that great.
4. Early November - this often comes from high school sweethearts who are off at college and see things differently, especially their relationship. Good bye!
5. Thanksgiving to Christmas Day - the coming of year end prompts many to reflect and make decisions about who they want to spend their life and time with.

This is something we must learn through meditation - that it is impossible to be absolutely right. Most of the time all we are doing is defending a viewpoint, which is based on our own ego. - Ayya Khema

Every day, priests minutely examine the Dharma and endlessly chant complicated sutras. Before doing that, though, they should learn how to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain, the snow and moon. —Ikkyu

1. It's the ultimate stress buster. Research shows the practice can reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure and even reduce symptoms of more serious mental health issues like anxiety.
2. It's a powerful workout. If you don't believe that, try any yoga class using the words "power" or "strength". Those sessions will leave you sweating.
3. It's good for weight management. Whether you want to lose some pounds or maintain a healthy body weight, yoga can do it for you.
4. It's great cross training. If you like to job, bike, swim, hike then bring yoga into the mix. It will strengthen muscles you're not utilizing in your regular workout.
5. It's a natural pain reliever. Neck pain, knee pain, back pain, hip pain.... Wherever you hurt and ache, yoga provides a natural relief. Yoga even helps with chronic pain, according to Harvard Medical School. It
6. It relieves headaches, especially migraines. Studies report that yoga helped reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines in sufferers.
7. It strengthens and stretches. That leads to a healthy, balanced body. If your workout consists of just one activity, then it's likely you're getting tighter and tighter, more rigid in body and mind.
8. It will bring new, good people into your life. Yoga is like a magnet attracting the nicest, kindest, most compassionate people on the planet to the practice. A yoga class is a great way to meet great people.
9. It will make you stronger .... in body, mind, and spirit. Your confidence will grow allowing you to better deal with life's challenges.
10. It leads to a happier state of mind. There is a 'mystical' aspect of yoga which generates joy, happiness, peace. Science talks about endorphins but it's more than that.
Please come to my yoga classes:
Saturday 9 am - 10:15 am
Monday 7 pm - 8:15 pm.
Namaste.

make it into body beautiful, and they make it worldly. Really, an
asana is a conversation with god."

Anger is useless. It makes one unhappy. It makes others unhappy. Not only that, it also makes a groove in the mind so that anger arises more and more easily. That's why we often find old people are crotchety. Everything around them becomes disagreeable. They're never happy because the negative groove in the mind has becomes so set they can't get out of it any more. - Ayya Khema

If you can really understand the nature of life, then you realize it is not possible to form any conclusion about how life should be. In the Dharma there is something very deep, which is to be open to the uncertainty of life. But we hold onto this idea of certainty because we assume things can be controlled. But when we think deeply we realize we have no control. - Godwin Samararatne
