Quiet Mind

"In the clarity of a quiet mind, there is room for all that is actually happening and whatever else might also be possible.

As we've discovered, it is possible to notice a single thought, sensation, or situation arise, but not get totally lost in identifying with it.  We observe the cloud but remain focused on the sky,  see the leaf but hold in vision the river.  We are that which is aware of the totality.  And our skills develop with practice.”

Ram Dass


Hi Yogis,

Would you like to go on a Yoga Class Field Trip?  Some of the world's best Kirtan (Mantra) Singers, Deva Premal & Mitten with Manose, will be performing at Unity Church on Thursday, May 18th at 7:30 pm.  This is a form of Bhakti Yoga, one of the four yogic paths to enlightenment.  If you have never attended a Kirtan, I can tell you it is a profound and moving experience, and I hightly recommend it!

If you would like to join us, please purchase the $35 tickets in "Section H - Lavender Balcony" on the Left side facing the stage.  This is a small venue, and these affordable seats will give you an excellent view of the stage.  We will meet at 7:00 pm in front of the main entrance of Unity Church (look for me!), so we can all take our seats together.  Please click on the link below to get more info about the artists and the concert, and to buy your ticket.  I hope to see you there!

Namaste,
Dominique

Planting Seeds

"When you plant seeds in the garden, you don't dig them up everyday to see if they have sprouted yet.  You simply water them, and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time.

Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart.  Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they're ready."

Thubten Chodron
