Helpful Thoughts by Dr. Shapiro

If you deny me, I will come back.

I am your thoughts and I’ll cut you no slack.

Millions in numbers are me and my friends.

We fill up your noggin from end-to-end.

Your equating us with “good” or “bad” allows us to last,

And allows us to replay for you all of the past.

As you fall victim to your very own mind,

We’re not taking the blame for your self-made bind.

But if you knew how the mind works & didn’t let it run astray,

Then the fun we have tormenting you, would simply go away.

Why We Fight – a Memorial Day Weekend Special Event

by Blair Lewis • May 27, 2011

Old Fashion Yoga on Sunday May 29th at 9 am — 11 am

Why We Fight – a Memorial Day Weekend Special Event

This Sunday we will devote the entire two hours of Old Fashion Yoga to the practices and philosophies of creating a lasting peace. The first 14 registrants will receive a free copy of the book “Why We Fight – yoga practices for lasting peace” by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait.

We will view war through the eyes of Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh guru and his famous student Banda Singh Bahadur and share in their famous dialogue about the mis-use of non-violence. Then we will peer through the eyes of Arjuna and Krishna as they debate war in the Bhagavad Gita.

We will close with yogic and tantric practices for establishing a lasting peace within ourselves and in the hearts of those with whom we live and work.

A great Sunday morning of technique and fellowship.

Tuition: Old Fashion Yoga has a suggested love offering of $20 per person or $30 per household. However, everyone one is welcome regardless of their ability to pay.

Those seeking a delicious cup of chai must RSVP and arrive by 8:50 am. Thank you.

Happiness The Real Medicine

Blair begins by exploring a series of traits that happy people possess: quietude, self-restraint, endurance, disinterest in worldly charms, freedom from conflicts and distractions, and desire for happiness. He then offers a trove of natural tools that help us foster these traits in our own lives.
