See Your Self: 2021
By: Jonathan Pofsky, MFT
It’s these times that we reflect
What’s been left up on the shelf
Time to dust off what’s of value
So you can see your Self
A Self leads the way
Of its many disparate parts
That runs in as many ways
With their distinct wisdom and smarts
It’s hard to get the message
For with these parts we blend
Threatening parts we just ignore
What kind of message does that send
For parts are forced to exile
To live underground asleep
Where they exist in darkness
Until they begin to weep
Waiting for our attention
To get curious as to why ..read more

“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
— Author unknown
It’s not one of your finest moments. Your belly is tied in knots, competing for your attention with the palpitations of your racing heart. Moist pockets of sweat emerge in familiar places as your jaw clamps down and locks into place. Your breath tightens as thoughts scamper from one worry to the next. The insidious fear of losing control slithers into your every ..read more

As published in Yoga Magazine, February 2011
Life is hard. I hear that a lot and more often than not, I agree. The life that most of us have come to know is a modern day balancing act of go go go and do do do. We work long hours, often staring at screens or hurrying from one intense meeting to the next. Day after day, week after week, the body starts to gradually rebel with its offerings of musculoskeletal pain, elevated heart rate, and splitting headaches. The mind grows weary and agitated. The breath becomes shallow, constricted, and ultimately, neglected. And yet even if we know we are stre ..read more

It’s time to take pause
The message is now clear
Into the chrysalis we go
With both our Love and our Fear
Its impersonal and complex
With so many questions to ask
But whatever this time is
It reveals our next task
And shows us what happens
When in a people, there’s division
When we fight with our judgments
And throw flames of derision
Everyone is shouting
Everyone thinks they are right
Everyone othering each other
At Good and Evil’s eternal fight
But as long as we are stuck
In a world with two choices
We will never join together
And discover differ ..read more
