Greetings!
Hello! I hope you are doing OK in this heat. It's no wonder the chilled tea is one of our best sellers in the cafe! I know it's July but it seems like we really need a break already! Thankfully my landlord has supplied us with several new air conditioners in the shop so it's blessedly cool inside. And actually I have to say the porch seems to have a nice breeze even when it's 90 degrees!
So with all the talk about the cafe and our amazing meals, I wanted to remind you that we will ALWAYS be a bookstore, with the very best in metaphysical titles and books on meditation, yoga, Buddhism, Hinduism, Ayurveda, vegetarian, vegan, raw and gluten free cooking, and so much more. We are expanding our fiction and local books section as well! And look for new, carefully chosen gift items arriving every day including stone statues, quotation banners, singing bowls, prayer flags, journals, greeting cards, meditation cushions -- all the beautiful and useful items you have been purchasing at breathe books for years, and more.
Remember that we have a HUGE and very cool used book section, called "breathe again" above the shop in second wind. We've got some truly amazing books including Yoga, Hindu and Vedic teachings from the 1920s and 30s, Wiccan and Magic books from the 50s and dozens of free advanced reader's copies as well! The used books are accessible during our newly expanded bookstore hours, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. during the week, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Sundays. If you would like to sell or donate used books to us, you must make an appointment with me -- susan@breathebooks.com. We offer $1 in store credit per book.
This weekend we have a truly special guest visiting us from the Omega Institute in New York -- Brett Bevell is offering a Spinal Zap Healing Circle on Friday night and a new Reiki Crystal Empowerment talk on Saturday. Not to be missed!! Brett is an amazingly generous teacher, enthusiastic, funny and effective. Please give us a call if you would like to attend as his workshops and meditations tend to fill up fast. 410-235-7323.
And please see the IONS event added this weekend here, as well as the upcoming IONS discussion group next Wednesday with special guests authors Dave and Mary DiSano.
Hope to see you soon! And I hope you are having a delightful summer.
Much love to all,
Susan

I work with you to create a plan to restore you to full harmony and balance. You'll learn how to come back to your natural way of being through food choices and nutrition, daily routine, behavior, exercise, meditation, breath work, career choices, family lifestyle and more.
