| Dear Students and Friends,
Back from my trip to Europe and Israel, I am welcomed by 20" of snow in Bellevue! We had a truly rewarding time in Finland, Germany and Israel. Connie assisted in Cologne, Rachel and Gordon in Tel Aviv. The students were very receptive to the work of Purna Yoga and are continuing to practice the sequences and meditations.
I trust that you stayed warm and had a fulfilling holiday season. Our prayers that the year 2009 that is dawning, will manifest the promises it holds in our hearts for a more sane world, a world of more peace, more light.
Affectionately,
Mirra and Aadil

As you practice asana, remember that the bones carry  the ability to ground, to descend, to root, and the muscles to lift, to rise, to act. The bones hold the earth energy, the muscles the energy of fire. Yet neither manifests its nature without intention. Thus, when you are practicing, intend the bones to descend and the muscles to lift energy from the earth, to move, to act.

2009 is the doorway to the 8th Dimension. Therefore, please practice the figure 8 around your body as I  explained last month. 2009 is going to be a wonderful year for those of us who do the inner work, and the figure 8 plays a big role in this. If you do not understand the immensity of this Divine blessing and the importance of integrating the 8th dimension through our bodies, please email me with questions. I will answer your questions in future newsletters. We, as humans, are bridges between matter and Spirit and, in order for the 8th dimension to fully unfold its potential, we must integrate its symbol into our bodies and our lives. Feel the flow it represents of wholeness and oneness. -Mirra PS- The complete explanation of the 8th Dimension was in the Dec 2008 issue. We will be creating an archive of all past newsletters to be available on the website. Look for it on the Yoga Centers website shortly. |

Sleep disorders continue to increase as stress increases.  If you have difficulty sleeping, try having a glass of warm water with a scoop of NuPlus (Regular ) and a squirt of Sunectar and Sunnydew (from Sunrider) in it, along with 5 ESE, and 1000 mg of Magnesium (from Life Extension) all just before going to sleep. I use this formula regularly because I often fly through 10 different time zones, land at night, yet am expected to teach brilliantly in the morning! (Email Aadil for more information.)

Yes Man 
Say "Yes" to Yes Man! This hilarious movie with Jim Carey is filled with wisdom. It is time for us all to say yes to life by listening to our heart's guidance.

| Feeling Is The Essence |
|
|
Excerpt from Fire of Love:
Feeling is the essence of life. Without feeling, we are  not quite human. The real value of our asana practice is that, as we do pose after pose with awareness, we are inviting more sensitivity into our bodies and our lives. We are learning to tune in and feel. So we not only feel better, but we feel better.
