Today's teaching from Swami Umesh-Yogi, the master in yoga and transcendental meditation that will hold, together with Dikla, the teacher training course at Paje by Night in November this year:

Our life is the creation of our mind.

One of the most important skills in your life is knowing how to think and where to focus.

Let’s Train your mind to see the blessings in every experience, walk through life in gratitude and appreciation, remain focused on your self, your path, goals, vision and the things that matter, create, think and see from the glory of your imagination.

Become a witness of your thoughts and experience of life, develop the ability to act from wisdom instead of emotion. Let Love be the driving force behind your actions and choices.

Because there is nothing that can trouble you more than your own mind, nothing that will stop you than the limitations you've set within your own mind, nothing that will break you than the accumulation of the negative thoughts within your own mind, nothing that will distract you from seeing and experiencing the beauty in each moment than your own mind. There is nothing that will cause you more stress and anxiety than your own mind.

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

Cecil the lion 'suffered intolerable cruelty for at least 10 hours' Walter Palmer, an American dentist, paid £32,000 to his guides in return for a chance to shoot Cecil. New evidence shows that Cecil lived on for 10 to 12 hours afterwards.

Rains have not yet arrived in Tanzania and the vegetation has completely dried out. Sunsets are amazing. This pic taken in Tarangire where elephants dig holes in the dry beds of the seasonal streams to reach water and the sightings of hundreds upon hundreds of them is not uncommon in this period. Silalei swamps are a favorite spot.

Early morning game drives are the very best time for spotting hippos, when the sun will be high in the sky they will seek refuge in the green forests or into the water emerging again at sunset.
