When Rhythm Becomes Meditation in Hamilton @ Staircase Theatre This event worked out in a very sahaj way.

Explore the Power of Poetry in this personal confession that's all about the call to: Awaken and Arise launched by the Poet Namdev, and supported by what Kites do and what our Spirit calls! There is this real fascination for kites that we all have. Not only when we are children but it stays within us during our entire  lifetime. Same kind of fascination we have for the stars. In general for the notion of rising and reaching above - for the sense of flying towards larger-purer spaces where we become ourselves more elevated beings.  Enjoy the…

The Truthful Perspective can only be seen in the Present I had always heard that reacting was never a solution. This was the first of many proofs that meditation had evolved my personality and my awareness to a new level. It has been my ego (worries and thoughts about the future, overthinking) and super-ego (thoughts about the past, baggage, conditionings) that were creating reaction. A pure and truthful perspective can only be seen in the Present. The impure, untrue, negative thoughts have to be cleared and forgiven daily to make room for a clear, uncluttered perspective of…

Let's listen to Elsie's succinct recollection of the Burlington Labyrinth's earliest beginnings. We often go and meditate or have a light sahaja yoga outdoor meditation and workshop in Burlington's Labyrinth.

Not many know that Elsie was involved with Justine Guliani when…

Eco-Haiku: Vanity Kills Bliss

Read more about the article Eco-Haiku: Vanity Kills Bliss

Vanity kills Bliss same as Climate Change threatens Moss Many love Haiku poetry and have a sensitive heart for Japanese Zen gardens, but little I knew that Moss is an essential feature of these two meditative art forms (Nature and poetry based). "Why Moss?!" one would ask rhetorically. See/enjoy for yourself: "Hills are empty, no man is seen,Yet the sound of people's voices is heard.Light is cast into the deep forest,And shines again on green moss." by Wang Wei (699-759, written in 730) Same one that wondered about Moss, if only wandering few steps further into this…
