For Mind, Body, and Spirit

~


Breathtaking imagery from top nature photographers is matched with inspirational quotations by Paramahansa Yogananda in this Inner Reflections engagement calendar from local bookstores. "Nothing is impossible, unless you think it is..."


Namaste...

Honour the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells,
Honour the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace,
When you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me, we are One.

A cornucopia of all-natural, ethically traded dark chocolates in a completely Vegan collection from Endangered Species Chocolate, founded in 1993 in effort to spread awareness and to make an impact on the growing number of plant and animal species that are disappearing from Earth. Since then the mission has grown to embrace a new definition of “endangered” - that all species, habitat and humanity are endangered on our planet, not just animals on a list.

OM is the sacred sound of Hinduism. It is the source of reality; the seed sound out of which the entire universe is born, in which it is sustained, and into which it is finally dissolved.
YIN YANG describes two opposing but complimentary forces found in all things in the universe. Yin, the darker element, is often symbolized by water. Yang, the brighter element, by fire.
