Namaste!
I want to share a mantra I enjoy greatly by Sadhguru.
"Sound is Bhramhan, the manifestation of the universe
It is sound that has become all life-forms
It is sound that binds, it is sound that liberates
Sound is the basis of bondage
Sound is the basis of Ultimate Liberation
Sound is the bestower, sound is the power
Sound is Bhramhan, the manifestation of the universe
Everything is sound
Sound is omnipresent."
If you'd like to listen to the Sanskrit version by Sadhguru himself, I suggest you to visit the Isha yoga website - the name of the CD is Nadha Bhramha. I love the mantras, it's my favorite part of yoga.
Love to all
Shanti

The time to surrender is now!
Namaste!
Life is so busy right now, specially with the end of the year approaching - Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Year's. If you are a normal person, you're probably worrying about the food, the reunions, the gifts, the entertainment... all that goes on with the end of the year craziness. Are you feeling stressed out? Too much to do... and so little time. What about the money - is there enough for all this? I can tell you, there are a lot of people suffering from insomnia right now.
My question is - who came up with this stuff? Why do we have to make this time of the year the most difficult to go through?
Last year, my family decided to Feng Sui the holidays and make it about spending time together. We had a different menu, we avoided the mall and kept everything very simple. We decided that our gift to the Earth was to not go around buying things that we would probably discard the next year. Isn't it what we do - buy things that we only use a couple of times and discard? It was liberating! We are so attached to the craziness that we forget the real meaning behind it all - Love and Peace!! Can we buy Love and Peace?
Amidst the craziness, we forget ourselves, our plans get delayed... after Xmas I'll relax/take time to read the book I want/do yoga/meditate...or maybe after New Year's, to start it anew, doing everything differently. We wait and wait, for the right day, for the right moment, for the right mood, for the right weather, for the right company. We wait for the perfect alignment of every circumstance to surrender to life as we want it. Is it possible? When do we surrender?
During the program in Tennessee, Sadhguru said that we mistakenly believe that life here is eternal, therefore we don't live... we don't surrender to life and enjoy it. We postpone life to when we believe it's more appropriate to live it. Only when we come to understand that, someday, life will cease to exist, then we will start to live.
Surrender now! Read that book today! Start your meditation practice today! Change your diet today! Practice yoga today! Live today, right now!
Say no to stress; say no to what is unnecessary in life; say no to waste. Surrender to Love and Peace! Make it about Love and Peace... we can all do this.
May all be well with you. May all live in peace, love and abundance. May the Light and Love of God shine upon you.

The end is also the beginning
Salutations! It's been a great season so far... and I love the sunset at this time of the year! Even though the air is cool, the sky has such a warmth, the fire in the clouds. I love fall!
Lots of things changed in the past weeks. I'll share...
Our Tuesday group has been a great blessing in my life. At this moment, I want to thank my friends Jackie and Kevin for making it possible, making great contributions to keep it going. They were a great support and constant in their practice. My great appreciation for their help and love. Thank you guys!!!
I also want to thank all those who participated in our practice - it was a great joy to share my time with you. With that said, I must announce that our Tuesday group won't meet in Orem anymore... the end of a season.
However, I would like to invite you to come attend yoga classes at the Krshna temple in Spanish Fork. I was invited to teach there a couple months ago and finally decided to accept the invitation. In reality, I have been practicing yoga there for a while, on Saturdays, and I love it! The practice there includes kirtan, singing of the maha mantra, and also some yoga philosophy. After practice, we can indulge in some wonderful food prepared with so much devotion and love. I'll be teaching there on Tuesday evenings, at 6:30, but the program actually starts at 6:00pm. They also offer yoga classes on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Come join us... it's a great opportunity to get all of what yoga has to offer to our lives.
So, this is the new beginning, a new adventure, a different learning experience... it's Shiva creating and destroying, keeping life moving always. Shambo!
Love and peace to all.
Namaste
