Posture Quotes - Page 8

• We must in imagination sweep off the drifted matter that clogs the surface of the ground; we must suppose all the covering of moss and heath and wood to be torn away from the sides of the mountains, and the green mantle that lies near their feet to be lifted up; we may then see the muscular integuments, and sinews, and bones of our mother Earth, and so judge of the part played by each of them during those old convulsive movements whereby her limbs were contorted and drawn up into their present posture.

• Nada es más peligroso en tiempos de guerra que vivir en la atmósfera temperamental de una encuesta Gallup, siempre tomándose el pulso y la temperatura.

• One of the things that has changed my life - and this comes from someone who was highly self-critical and a type-A personality - is meditating. The simple act of making my brain shut off for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night may not seem like much, but what ends up happening, besides creating space in your day, is your awake posture begins to replicate your meditative posture.

• The relaxation should not be a method. You should not relax through a Yoga posture. This very understanding is relaxing, this very understanding is relaxation. You relax, effort disappears. You live your ordinary life - you chop wood and you carry water from the well and you cook food and you eat and you sleep and you love and you live ordinarily with no hankering and no desire for anything extraordinary.

• Al principio, la idea de hacer un entrenamiento de 90 minutos en una habitación a 40 grados sonaba a tortura. Pero el sudor es exactamente a lo que me hice adicta. Mi cuerpo cambió radicalmente casi de inmediato. En tres clases noté menos grasa en el vientre. Ahora tengo las rodillas y las piernas más fuertes que nunca, los brazos definidos por primera vez en mi vida y una postura mucho mejor. Además, la respiración profunda me llena de energía. Salgo de clase aliviada de cualquier ansiedad con la que entré, y la sudoración y la desintoxicación hacen que mi piel se sienta genial.

• There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001 He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we.
