“Truely speaking, perhaps one is never rid of the hostile forces as long as one has not permanently emerged into the Light, above the lower hemisphere. There, the term “hostile forces” loses its meaning; they become only forces of progress, they force you to progress. …
Put everything into the hands of the Supreme Lord. Until that day when the Sun shall shine forever, the day of total Victory.”

The Science of Gratitude
Gratitude is a choice, an action, a state of mind that changes our physiology. Have you ever noticed that when you are actively grateful, that you feel happy? It’s actually quite scientific.
When we dwell on what is “wrong” the body experiences agitation due to the release of epinephrine and detrimental chemical cascades resulting in increased blood pressure, altered heart rate, altered digestion, anxiety, depression and insomnia… just to name a few.
Expressing gratitude regularly sends signals to the brain and increases feel good endorphins through the parasympathetic nervous system. Having an attitude of gratitude also neutralizes fight/flight stress reactions, calming the sympathetic nervous system resulting in improved mood, rejuvenation, better sleep, increased energy and more stable cardiovascular system.

Ahimsa – Yamas of Yoga
Ahimsa is a concept that has been promoted in most forms of spirituality for millennia. The word ahimsa embraces the concept of non-violence and compassion. Ahimsa was written about extensively in the yoga sūtras of Patañjali around 400 CE . Ahimsa is the first of the yamas – self restraints – in yogic philosophy. On the surface this concept of non-violence advocates refraining from physically harming another human out of malice. Ahimsa, the concept of not causing physical harm seems straight forward when we talk about murder, rape, shooting, stabbing, torture and punching. However, there are mixed beliefs about violence as it applies to appropriate self defense or even defensive war. As we know in this Kali yuga, times can get wild, unpredictable and dark. This is the time more than ever to guide our actions and thoughts towards peace.

Find the space of God, each step, each death
See the face of God, each smile, each frown
Be the light of God, each life, each crown.”
