3. QUOTE FROM EPHESIANS:
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that
which is good for the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
unto the hearers." Ephesians 4:29
----------------------------------------------------------------
4. "THOUGHT IS VIBRATION" FROM BHUMI:
Summer's magical months are a perfect invitation to de-stress and
refresh; a time to enjoy! In this spaciousness, new perspectives
can emerge.
This quote greets all visitors in the Bombay airport:
“Intolerance itself is a form of violence and an obstacle to the
growth of a true Democratic spirit.” Mahatma Gandhi
Self acceptance, tolerance of ourselves, brings freedom from
within. Honoring the uniqueness of others brings freedom to
society.
Thought is vibration. Consider our environment. To be angry
about it’s mistreatment doesn’t help. Toxic thoughts are formed
and negative language is the result. A more conscious approach is
to meditate, pray or create healing thoughts, purifying one’s own
mind and heart. Action then comes from a clearer frame of mind.
This process from thought to speech to action can be applied to
any part of one’s life. Use conscious communication to affirm and
strengthen, so that the message is beneficial to the listener.

10. SANSKRIT SOUNDS ARE VIBRATION - WORKSHOPS AUGUST 25 and 27:
Sanskrit, the most ancient Indo-European language has not changed
for thousands of years because it's very logical and pure.
(NASA was considering using it for universal technological
communications.)
The mere repetition of the sounds brings peace
and calm. When spoken or sung it changes one’s consciousness, the
mood becomes meditative and the mind becomes very clear.
Fri eve Aug 25 in three hours you will learn to read the alphabet
and a few lines from the scriptures! Sun am Aug 27 will be a
continuation of pronouncing properly names of yoga poses and
reading yoga scriptures.
Think you are not able to learn foreign languages? The method is
fun and non-competitive. Transform your mind. Transform your life.
For any level. Yoga Alliance approved CEU/YTT200/500 credits.
For more information: www.bhumiyoga.com "Yoga Center/Workshops".
This is part of the YES Group series workshops described above.
