MIRROR AND FACE -RUMI

We are the mirror as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity.
We are pain and what cures pain, both.
We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.

Greetings!

Back-to-school season is a great chance for all of us to invite transformation and new learning into our lives. 

Stretching our bodies and minds, expanding our views, trying something new, committing to a daily practise, deciding that the future can be different than the past through our conscious choice.  This is the crossroads. 

To help support you in your practise, we are adding a FREE meditation evening on WEDNESDAYS from 6-7pm, starting September 3rd.   We will offer teachings on meditation, answer your questions and lead a group sitting.  It will be a magical experience and everyone is welcome.  please join us!!  This is for people new to meditation and for those who wish to deepen their own practise. 

Stillness is truly a transformative gift you can give yourself.

LEARN TO
MEDITATE
USING THE TIMELESS PRACTICE OF
PRIMORDIAL SOUND MEDITATION

Practiced for thousands of years, meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body's own inner intelligence. Primordial Sound Meditation uses individually selected sounds of nature called mantras, to disconnect us from the activity of life. These primordial sounds are based on the vibration the universe was creating at the moment of your birth. Practicing Primordial Sound Meditation on a daily basis will help you:
·    Manage stress & reduce anxiety
·    Improve your relationships
·    Create inner peace
·    Enhance your sleep patterns
·    Lower your blood pressure
·    Connect more deeply to spirit

FREEDOM DOESN'T MIND ITS CHAINS
by local author ROBERT AUGUSTUS MASTERS

Revisioning Sex, Body, Emotions & Spirituality
To know without thinking, to see without eyes, to fly without wings, to die without leaving, to love without expecting - such are the primordial yet everfresh chords weaving through our living chambers, perhaps muted, perhaps unheard, but nevertheless still here, like wildblue sky behind an
ocean of clouds.

It is none other than our own healing to which we are being invited, by all - all - that happens to us.

Our work is to dance with it all. No wallflowers. No more turning away. In the spirit of such radical intimacy, this book offers a deepcutting exploration of sex, body, emotion, and spirituality, with plenty of side-dishes to keep your juices flowing.

THE SUNRISE RUBY  ----RUMI
In the early morning hour,
just before dawn, lover and beloved wake
and take a drink of water.
She asks, Do you love me or yourself more?
Really, tell the absolute truth.
He says, There is nothing left of me.
I am like  a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world
made of redness?  It has no resistance
to sunlight.  The ruby and the sunrise are one.
Be courageous and discipline yourself.
Work.  Keep digging your well.
Submit to a daily practice.
Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who's there.
