I know some of you probably just read this blog and don’t ever write back or read posts. That’s totally cool (though I always love hearing from you). But if you have<\/em> been reading reader posts, you may have noticed Brian, a 23-year-old fellow who apparently has enough time time on his hands to religiously pepper the CM blog with surly remarks (today’s: “Yoga is boring”). Hey dude, we love you!<\/p>\n

So let’s tune into Brian now as a group, and send him more love and acceptance than he’s possibly ever experienced. Let us pray for the healing of whatever limiting constrictions he may be enduring. If we accept him completely, he will no longer be the unacknowledged, unhappy presence he is, the voice we all have inside our heads, the critic\/taskmaster, the drone of disapproval. Let us hope for Brian that he develops a place for himself in the world where his opinions are of value, and his voice can be heard!<\/p>\n
