I recently saw this posted on the Facebook page of Rudy Pierce, one of my yoga teachers:
"Letting go letting go, once again I'm letting go. Letting the past be. Softening expectations of the future. It's a new moment, full of opportunity."
For some reason those words really stuck. They had so much wisdom. What if gratitude was a doorway into this new moment, the NOW? What if we let the gratitude flow for every little thing? Rather then expecting, we let go. It is a new moment, full of opportunity and experience through the senses. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what we have for what it IS. Appreciating even the small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human and remain standing.

Among many insights, there is one I learned (or re-learned) after spending eight days with my beloved teacher Master Ou Wen Wei. I would summarize by saying that it's not important whether we "win" or "lose," it's how we play the game! While our outer circumstances and lifestyle may be predetermined, the inner world and quality of life is pretty much up to us. Things happen, and our REACTION to those things determines our experience and our reality of life. With Spring in the air, there is no shortage of opportunities to shift our attitude and our hearts. Can we dive into the the bright greenness of the Spring trees, the broad open expansiveness of the blue sky, the excitement and anticipation of flower bulbs ready to burst with radiance and color? So, let the past be, soften expectations for the future, and be in the NOW.Wishing you health and happiness,Anisha

Time with Master Ou
| Participants share their reflections
Thanks so much for your efforts to bring Master Ou to Raleigh. This year's experience was much more intense for me than last year. Perhaps that is because I am "cultivating" my own energy more after using the form for over a year.

I was able to easily discern the incredible amount of energy emanating from Master Ou, and even tell where he was in the room without looking. I could even tell when he "turned it up," as when he was teaching us the healing form. I felt it flowing through me to my partner. What a beautiful sensation! I also got much more "connected" through the Pangu Yoga. I had a wonderful sensation of being totally "in the Now;" i.e., being exactly in the intended place/time for connecting with my higher Self.

I really enjoyed the Sunday dinner party with Master Ou in Anisha and Paul's home. The food and company were both spectacular. I think Master Ou should open a restaurant; I would be a frequent guest! I was told the food was infused with Qi. I wasn't sure what that meant, but after eating the food I felt really open, clear, and joyful in my body. It's similar to the feeling you have after a great acupuncture or yoga session, but a little more intense. It was fantastic, all the way around!

NADA Protocol for Detox Treatment
| Powerful and relaxing addiction treatment
National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) detox treatment is effective for addictions or any kind of detox. All of the points are in the ears for this amazingly powerful and relaxing treatment.
What is the NADA protocol?
"At five designated ear points in each auricle (outer ear), clinicians trained through NADA apply fine gauge, sterilized, one-time use stainless steel needles just under the skin, where they remain for up to an hour while the client (in most circumstances) relaxes quietly in a comfortable chair.
"Ordinarily, groups of clients sit together while undergoing the treatment.  The procedure functions as an adjunct to a comprehensive treatment program offering the basic therapeutic elements of counseling, education, family involvement, mutual support group involvement, supportive health care of general nature. Clients in all types of treatment settings, including inpatient, outpatient, incarcerated, shelters, harm reduction and street outreach can utilize this treatment.
"Among the benefits reported by clients and clinicians are improved program retention, a more optimistic and cooperative attitude toward the process of recovery, as well as reductions in cravings, anxiety, sleep disturbance and need for pharmaceuticals." Read more about NADA.
NADA Treatment at Ananda Healing Arts
$30 a session (2-3 a week recommended)
Testimonial from an Ananda client
The effects of the NADA treatment allowed me to be free of my habit of smoking. It gave me more clarity of mind, effortless letting go, and deeper peace. My mind and body were detoxing at the same time and integrating a better connection between the two. I also noticed other habits disappear without conscious intention, like looking at my phone continually, and I began to make better food choices. Just the right Spring cleanser for me. I
love feeling so completely healthy. THANK YOU so much!

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.
