Nourish the Conscience

"What we call conscience is the voice of Divine Love in the deep of our being, desiring union with our will." ~ J. P. Greaves

Let us Pray...

God of Widsom,
open my mind and heart to your will,
and shape my conscience with your love.
Send your Spirit and guide me to grow in understanding.
Help me make the good and loving choices you call me to make.
Amen

May your intentions on the mat be heartfelt and insightful. Use the third eye to look within and the heart to feel Divine love. Allow the intake of each new breath to nourish the physical and energy body as the pranayama (extension of the lifeforce) travels from crown to root through the nadis.
Let this intention be released in order to heal and return to you new or as something different. Let go of your will and desire in order to let your path of existence to flourish.

In Memory of MLK



"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."



"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

Winter Feast for the Soul

"What nine months does for the embryo, forty early mornings will do for your growing awareness." ~ Jelaluddin Mevlana Rummi

Join me from January 15 through February 23, 2012 for forty days of self awareness and a journey you will surely not regret. As many spiritual leaders have taken their own forty days of discovery, you too can use these days to change your life. Forty is historically significant and as we begin Ordinary Time and prepare for Spring, we welcome a path of peace.

Invite change into your own life with forty minutes of insight into your own soul. Whether it's 40 minutes at once, two twenty-minute sessions or four ten-minute sessions of meditation, yoga, martial arts, prayer, journaling, or random acts of kindness, the positive energy created during this time will mend your spirit and nurture your heart. During the quiet space and time, let yourself find inner stillness to cultivate positive change to yourself, those you love and the planet.

For more information about private yoga and meditation sessions contact MJ LaDuke at Bhakti Wellness at mj@bhaktiwellness.com or visit www.bhaktiwellness.com.
