Greetings!
 The spring we have been waiting for is finally here - or so it feels today! Regardless of how cold it has been, we feel nature responding to this change with a big smile. It's a good chance to reflect on how well we respond to change! Even though we love seeing it in the weather, we aren't always as enthusiastic for it in our own life. However, being willing to accept change is a sure way to stay young - it keeps us fresh, flexible, and growing, especially when we greet change with a smile!
In fact, everything is better when you greet it with a smile. Even Salamba Sarvangasana! Try this: during one of those chores you might dislike, like washing the dishes, do it with a smile and see how it feels. Your mind and body and heart will thank you!
See you in class!
Namaste
P.S. Has doing yoga at Yoga Centers changed parts of your life? Would you consider sharing your story with others who might be where you were? If so, we invite you to be on our radio show, Alive and Shine! Please email Mona at mona@yogacenters.com if you have a story to share
P.P.S. Please send a special thank you to your mother, regardless of if she did good, did great, did her best, or still does, she brought you here, and for that we are grateful! Also, please give thanks to the Divine Mother, who always gives us her love and care.

Are We Being Out-"Smarted"? "Smart" meter Awareness
 A "Smart" meter is a digital, wireless electric, water or gas meter connected to your home or business that transmits data through electromagnetic waves (to other meters and collection points in a mesh network) and sends this information to your utility company. "Smart" meters provide energy companies with far more information about your energy consumption than meters used in the past, invading privacy as well as making people sick. "Send and Receive Smart Meters" produce pulsed microwave radio frequency radiation on a near constant basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, wrecking havoc with your mind and body.
This enhanced data sharing and exposure to electromagnetic radiation are greatly impacting our health, privacy and finances. This is very real.
Health: Upon installation, people report problems sleeping, headaches, ringing in the ears, heart problems, dizziness, nausea, cognitive problems, and other physical ailments. In addition, the following health effects have been documented in studies of non-ionizing radiation, which "Smart" meters utilize: DNA breaks, cancer, endocrine disruption, birth defects, sterility, heart arrhythmia, learning impairment, ADD/ ADHD, headache, fatigue and sleep disturbance. More on health impacts
Privacy and Finances: Every customer's personal usage will be known, harvested and marketed. Many people are actually reporting that their energy bills are much higher after installation which is the opposite of what the electrical companies say. Also, the incidence of house fires has risen in almost every city where they have been installed. Lastly, "Smart" meters can be hacked, which means they can be controlled by criminals. More on security concerns
What Can I do?
1st, Educate Yourself
Here are a few articles and videos that contain more information. Please take the time to look at each one.

Physician Warns of Smart Meter Danger

2nd, Contact Your Energy Company
A) Find out What Kind of Utility Meters You Have
The simplest way to do this is to call your electric, gas, and water company - they may each be a separate company using different meters. There are basically two types of "Smart" meters:
- Wireless meters that only send out a pulse of non- ionizing radio wave radiation any where from every 5 minutes to every 24 hours
- Much stronger "send and receive Smart" meters, sending out strong pulses of microwave radiation many times a minute.
B) Express Your Position - scripts provided!
If PSE is your energy company, call Vera. Vera's direct line is 425 424 6743.
Open our Wireless Awareness Report to read sample scripts to use when you call your utility company, and much, much more.
Thanks you! And thank you to Sandra, for researching and organizing this informaiton!

April 17: Money, Money, Money! How do we understand money from our soul's perspective? How is it different from how our ego uses it? Find out how money is meant to be used when supported by our hearts April 24: Money, Money, Money! Part 2 For centuries, religion, spirituality, and yoga have been wrongly interpreted as denying money. Wealth was considered to be evil. Yet if we look carefully, the glorification of poverty is not a dictate from God but a creation of man to control other men. Savitri and Aadil discuss this crucial issue. May 1: Money, Money, Money Part 3 Our mental, physical, and emotional well being is hiding in our money stories. Wealth is only given to us when we are willing to live our true purpose. Savitri and Aadil will discuss how we can release and heal these stories to reveal our true purpose. May 8: Peter Ragnar - The Luckiest Man on Earth! Peter is a best selling author in the areas of personal development, fitness, health and wealth. Peter has often been called the "luckiest man alive!"
