Breath of Summer Unfolds by MJ LaDuke

It is not uncommon for our own children to lead us back to our own childhood.  Today was the perfect day for my journey into the past…..a past of delight and limitless summers where water is my refuge.  A clear blue sky, an omnipresent sun, and water that beckons one to  float, submerge, drift and find relief from the rising heat.

               

Most cannot find solace this early in May, but blessings unfold in mysterious ways. 

Three generations found comfort from the refreshing abyss this day. 

A splash, a laugh, friendship and family intertwine.  The tree of life yields such when water kisses the vine.

Memories flash and smiles remain.  Imprints are created and new joy sustains.

Underneath the clear blue cool, waves reveal the sparkle of the floating azul.

From below the surface the vista breathes comfort and peace, allowing all to rest easily with a dream laden sleep.

Until we gather one more time, the remains of the day are all but mine. 

Welcome us back pool of bliss, for nothing takes the place of the summer's first kiss.

Until we meet again...

Isha Kriya Meditation

Breathe In: I am not the body.
Breathe Out: I am not even the mind.

Either in discipline or indulgence,
In companionship or aloneness,
Only one who is in constant touch with the
Ultimate reality, will know bliss.
~ Sadhguru

Happy Mother's Day!

Cinco de Mayo Luna

Saturday, May 5, the moon will be up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than the other full moons of 2012, according to NASA.
Enjoy with moon salutations or meditation.  Let the energy fill your soul and bring balance to an imbalanced world. 
While you're appreciating the beautiful sight, perhaps take a moment to wish upon a star.  Star light, star bright...

Namaste ~ MJ

Chakra Balancing with doTERRA

I am pleased to announce that Bhakti Wellness is not only offering chakra assessments, but chakra balancing. Using the AromaTouch Technique of applying certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils to the seven major energy centers, one can bring balance to an unbalanced world that also supports the spiritual development and awakening of the mind, body and spirit.

For only $75, begin with dowsing of the chakras, followed by the AromaTouch Technique, and additional dowsing to ensure balance. Should you possess an energy center that struggles to achieve clarity, a home practice of yoga asanas are prescribed along with an applicable crystal to assist in the process. Allow 60 minutes.

Assessments are also available without balancing for only $35 and a guide and crystal are provided for home use. Allow 45 minutes. All sessions are by appointment through the contact page at bhaktiwellness.com.
