Health Tip of the Week

Take a Breath

"How many times do you breathe deeply? Try and make a practice of breathing from your abdomen consciously. Have fun with it! Breathe as you open the door, breathe when you close the door, breathe when you are stopped at a red light. The key is to just breathe, don't judge whether it is right or wrong just keep doing it, but try it from your belly. If you get stuck put a CD case on your belly and make sure it rises and falls, once it does your connecting with your belly breathing. Now you're on your way to be a phenomenal belly breather! Namaste!

Daily Inspiration

"When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space."

         ~Pema Chodron

Daily Inspiration

A further sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at what's threatening us."

Daily Inspiration

   "People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That's not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn't understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you're given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further."

Daily Inspiration

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
