Recently the Body Harmony community lost a long time, loyal and trusty friend. It brings tears, not only because of the loss, but also because of what is unknown for the next world. What does the next world bring? Is there another dimension awaiting all of us? The inevitability of death will eventually bring questions of mortality for each of us, but it is something I have pondered and explored for quite some time. I have come to believe that there… Read More

THE POWER OF INTUITION
Only a calm and quiet mind will allow us to connect to the power of intuition. Through yoga, we learn to slow the thoughts and calm the mind, and to find this intuitive wisdom in the ‘minds eye’. Sometimes you will hear this referred to as the ‘6th sense’. When intuition unites with the goodness in our hearts, we can find amazing clarity! Is it time to make some stillness and inner peace a priority? For a moment now, consider numerology… Read More

KARMA SPECIAL
Karma is all about action. Most of us are quite familiar with this Sanskrit word that is derived from kri ‘to do’ and refers to actions of any kind. Within matter, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The karma yoga system believes that everything you do, say or think has an immediate effect on the universe and in you! This reaction generated by the atma’s (spirit’s) use of free will, puts in motion… Read More
BODY MIND SPIRIT CONNECTION
It’s been an amazing summer for weather on the West Coast and life has been about as good as it gets for feeding body, mind and spirit. Even though there is temptation to hold dear the clear blue days of summer, it’s only natural that clouds will waft in and out, and then fall will proceed the winter. The seasons of the year and the seasons of life are inevitable. To move through them gracefully, I remember that the sun… Read More
MOTHER EARTH DAY
The earth is our mother and we must take care of her. We need her to survive!

What is she sharing with us? What are the underlying patterns and laws of nature? What does she need from us for correct use of… Read More

What I will say is that the last two years have been a lot… for most of us. Now knowing the strength of spirit that my Ukrainian heritage has to stand up for freedom and democracy, has… Read More
