Rise! - Global Mala Project

Hey Everyone---Keep your eyes open for the event at Miami Yogashala. Namaste. Pass this one along!!! fb

Join the Global Mala Project- a call to the worldwide yoga community to come together in the powerful metaphor of the mala or sacred circle.

We have 108 days or less then 4 months until the Fall Equinox and UN International Peace Day. On September 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, people from many faiths and backgrounds will come together for a two-fold purpose:

* aligning one's personal consciousness as a positive force for change internally and communally and
* taking real action towards that living peace and that which we can prevent: Global Warming, AIDS, and Poverty.

If you are interested in participating click here for a PDF of how studios can get involved. Or email us at info@globalmala.org

This newsletter is filled with information of what is happening in over 45 cities around the world so that it can easily be forwarded – as the grassroots voice has always been the fastest network around.

Please join the worldwide global mala now and on Sept. 21st-23rd - each one of us is a sacred light upon the mala of collective consciousness.

For the Earth,

Global Mala Founder/Catalyst

Children

Discussing with people how to raise their own children is always a touchy subject, but, i wonder why it so acceptable to feed our children such garbage. Why do we let our kids eat such things as sugary candies (diabetes and A.D.D.), fried foods (cancer and heart disease), and meats (cancer and heart disease). I just don't understand i guess why if you love your children would you not make certain that what they eat is at least decent. The garbage we are feeding our children is creating the fattest generation on earth. We are all fat now. Fat seems to be normal. It is fine for an adult to do whatever they want. If an adult wants to make a 'conscious' decision and eat wierd foods and get fat fine! We are all free to do what we want. But children don't have the luxury of choice and are forced to eat whatever you feed them. Feed them decently if possible. Obesity in childhood is devastating for the body.

The fantastic part is that kids are so resilient that as soon as you feed them somewhat intelligently they heal and transform much faster than adults. More Fruit less garbage candy... More Greens less Fried foods.... Less meat.... those are good starters, but study the subject yourself please!!!

For Granted

As humans we seem to be designed to take things for granted, or as granted. We take our lives and our breath as if it had to happen this way. As if our most recent breath HAD to come. Every breath is a gift. Don't assume things are going to always be as they are, the time for gratitude is now. The greatest block to gratitude is taking things that are miraculous for granted. Like how miraculous it is that you were given a human birth, or that you can see and hear. Or how miraculous it is that earth is a living planet in the universe. Stay with the mystical so that you can see through the mundane illusions and reside in the grounded peace that comes with surrender and gratitude.

Fish

Many people think fish is an exception and that fish is actually healthful. Fish is flesh too. But just as importantly, fish are wild animals part of a natural ecosystem. We are destroying the worlds oceans with fierce overfishing for fish for Sushi restaurants. I always say do whatever you want, just know what you are doing. If you think that fish is healthful, research it more carefully. We need to protect the oceans with all our energy and the way to start is to eat less seafood. It is good for us anyway to avoid fish because our bodies really appreciate it when we eliminate flesh foods (carcasses). We need to respect the earth and our bodies at the same time so everyone and everything wins.

Make the Connections

Remember to make the connections to everything. Eating cattle or other animals means supporting the industry which is responsible for destruction of rainforest and use of croplands for cattle-feed. There is no good reason to eat animals. Enivronmentally, Spiritually, Phsychologically, Physiologically, and Energetically speaking it is unwise to eat animal corpses. The idea that animals corpes are healthful is highly suspect. Watch what you eat. You are what you eat. Stop circulating death energy in your blood and you will likely feel a spiritual realization.
