The Yoga Centers Gift Giving Guide
 
Here's Savitri's advice on giving gifts:

Never stop giving and receiving, for it is the breath of the Heart Center.  Let this holiday season help prepare you to move into an extraordinary year where the heart easily expresses itself with joy and light. May our gifts express our ability to love, purely and simply.

  • When in doubt, give food! I have found that this simple gift really helps others' hearts to open to receiving.
  • Sometimes the best gift is a sincere letter expressing your gratitude to someone.
  • Have fun! The energy behind a gift is more important than the gift itself.

JenniferYC Student Jennifer Haupt interviews Aadil in Psycology Today

Excerpt from Transforming Stress into Positive Energy:

PTJennifer: How much control do we really have over feeling stressed out versus approaching the same circumstances with clarity and calmness?
 
Aadil: We have total control once we have paid our dues.  This includes spending time in meditation getting to know who you are. This also includes learning the techniques for quieting the mind's incessant jabber and then applying them so that the mind is your servant rather than you being the slave of the mind.  Indeed, all stress is in the mind.  Once we control that we are empowered.

Bring Back the Sun!

If you suffer from seasonal effective disorder, so prevalent here in the Northwest winters, you might be interested to learn about one of Aadil and Savitri's new favorite solutions to missing the sun - and it doesn't involve getting on an airplane!  Aadil recently interviewed Si Barghelame, who is an inventor and engineer and creator of SunSauna, an in-home sauna that combines full-spectrum lighting with far infrared heat. Si has four engineering degrees from the University of Utah, and he received his patent by combining these two concepts. His inspiration?  A typical Seattle winter.    

 

Si

"In the winter of 1995, I was suffering from a mild case of the winter blues. "I couldn't quite snap out of it. So, I studied light therapy and the works of Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the man credited with creating the term seasonal affective disorder," recalled Barghelame. "I had a sauna in my home at the time and I tinkered with the idea of installing full-spectrum lights. And it worked." Rosenthal's breakthrough research on S.A.D. found that malillumination - lack of sunlight - can be a serious health risk. And it hits women particularly hard. Essentially, Rosenthal found that light is to malillumination as food is to malnutrition.  But, as Si explains, light is only half of the solution - its the combination of light with far infrared heat that's key. By combining the benefits of infrared heat and full-spectrum light, his saunas enhance the many benefits of both, proving that 1+1 can equal 3! For more information visit www.SunSauna.com or stop by the store in  Redmond and sit in one for yourself and feel the benefits!
