It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine!
Well, here we are! The world didn't end!
Or...did it?
You know what the Mayans were talking about, right? Not a cataclysm... not a bang, nor a whisper. They were talking about the dawn of a new era in our spiritual evolution.
In yoga we cultivate an awareness that we are always dying and being reborn in every moment. That when we tune in and embrace everything as it is and live fully in the present we are really and truly alive.
Join us at Blissful Body Yoga in Gastonia, North Carolina for Mandalas: A Creative Journey Into Stillness.
If you love yoga and art and want to learn more about ancient forms of deep meditation, this is the workshop for you. In this 2.5 hr workshop you will learn about the history of mandalas and their use as a meditative tool for thousands of years. You will create your own mandala based on what you want to manifest in your life right now (mandalas are a tool for transformation!) We will share our creations and experiences, and then use our mandalas in seated meditation. Space is limited so reserve your spot today!September 18, 2012: AM and PM sessions.
As we remember today fill your heart with love, spread loving kindness wherever you go.
Remember with love in your heart, but don't spend time watching those awful videos again and again. We all remember what happened, we do not need to traumatize ourselves again and again to honor the living or the dead.
Instead, spend your time today doing something to heal our planet. Look into your own heart and find the places that are hardened by anger, hatred and fear, and soften them with love. Reach out with tenderness to yourself and others. Sing and chant for peace in whatever tradition you follow. Do a Fire Ceremony to release all that is not serving you and replace it with radical acceptance and love.
Imagine.
Today is a wonderful day to begin a Metta Meditation practice. Start by offering this energy to yourself, and then begin extending it to others:
May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease.
May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease.
May All Beings Be Happy,May All Beings Be Free from Suffering.

Blue Moon and Double Dragon Moon- August 31, 2012 an opportunity for personal and planetary transformation!
Today is a wonderful day! A fantastic opportunity for each of us to transform our wounds, our ancient stories of sorrow and pain, our feelings of victimhood into FREEEEDOOOOOM!
Today, August 31, 2012 at 6:58 AM PST the moon became full. It is Blue Moon, the second full moon of the month, which is powerful in itself, but this particular moon is also a Double Dragon Moon. All of this comes together to give us a wonderful opportunity as individuals and as Cosmic Community to move, as Beatrex Quntanna says in the video below, from "victimhood into victory."
So watch this video (it is WONDERFUL and so full of information and humor), learn more about this fascinating moment and what you can do to transform the energies that are holding you back. Go outside, dance in your garden, gather in groups, do a fire ceremony, burn up the old and make way for all that you are meant to be. Don't get in your own way for one second longer.
Many blessings and great thanks to Beatrex and Janet Lightstone of http://lightstonesource.com/ for sharing this information with all of us. My deepest gratitude also goes to Melinda Allec. Melinda is an amazing modern medicine woman and energy healer who I have had the great good fortune to begin working with lately. Several weeks ago she turned me on to this Dragon Moon event coming up and gave me wonderful guidance on how I could make the most of it. You can learn more about Melinda Allec and the powerful healing work that she does on her website http://www.melindaallec.com/index.php
An interesting side note. I was guided to receive energy healing from Melinda after I read the books Shaman, Healer, Sage: How to Heal Yourself and Others with the Energy Medicine of the Americas andMending The Past & Healing The Future With Soul Retrieval by Alberto Villoldo Ph.D. which changed my life. Melinda trained with Dr. Villoldo. If you have not read his books this would be a great time to pick them up. They are transformational.
May you be blessed, may this powerful day bring you healing, joy and grace. Hari om...sat nam. We are all One. Love. Love. Love.

You will notice that those who speak most of prosperity, have it. Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of sickness, have it. Those who speak most of poverty, have it. It is Law. It can be no other way…The way you feel is your point of attraction, and so, the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a magnet getting more and more of the way you feel. When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness. When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel sick, you attract more sickness. When you feel unhappy, you attract more unhappiness. When you feel healthy and vital and alive and prosperous—you attract more of all of those things.

This week the mothers of two of my dear friends have left their physical bodies to rejoin with the Great Spirit. This is my offering to them and in celebration of the lives of their Beloved. May they, and their families find peace in their time of sorrow and feel the love of all who surround them, in this realm and others.
Om Shanti, Hari Om.
Shiva Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
The Mahamrityunjay is known as the "great death conquering mantra," because it connects us to our deepest Inner Self and removes the illusion that we are separate from God/Universe/High Power. It restores us to our full realization of our true state of Oneness and helps us release our attachment to our physical body and existence, as well as those belonging to the ones we most love. You can learn more about this mantra, here.
This is a Shiva mantra and Shiva is the energy of creative destruction. The Universal principal witnessed in each moment of our lives as one things dies so that another thing can rise from it's ashes into Being.
Mahamrityunjay Mantra
Om Tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pushhtivardhanam Urvarukamiva bandhanan mrityor mukshiya maamritath.
You can learn to chant this mantra with this wonderful video...
