Here are 5 Things You Need to Know about MANTRAS:

1. The word mantra means ...“tool of thought.” Throughout the ages, mantras are the #1 tool to attain extremely deep, blissful meditation.

2. Mantra is a Sanskrit word ... from India. But mantras themselves are not Sanskrit, or English ... or any world language for that matter, because ...

3. Mantras are the organic sounds of Nature. A mantra is a series of simple, beautiful sounds ... whispered by Mother Nature herself. Mantras are the language of Nature. Next time you’re walking in the forest, listen carefully. Mother Nature is humming all around you with the soothing sounds ... of mantras!

4. Mantras were discovered ... in the deep green forests by ancient sages as they sat immersed in the tranquility of their meditations. An example of what they heard is the familiar “OM” mantra.

5. Mantras work through their power of resonance. When you mindfully meditate on the sound of an authentic mantra, your consciousness gets retuned and elevated in just a few minutes. Peace, energy, and innumerable benefits come to you.

TRY IT!

Reduce indoor allergens (dust mites, pet dander) with these easy tricks:• Close windows to lock out pollen and mold particles. Love a cool breeze? Use an oscillating fan or ceiling fan.• Run a HEPA purifier to cleanse the air of pollen, mold, dander, and other allergens. Choose one with a clear-air delivery rate (CADR) of at least 300 cubic feet per minute.• Start taking anti-inflammatory nasal spray now and continue daily until the first hard frost. This lets the meds take full effect to keep symptoms in check. Take fast-acting oral antihistamines when you need them. But talk to your doctor about the dosage and the length of time you can safely use these sprays.• Shower before bed so airborne allergens aren’t deposited on your pillow at night.

🧐 DID YOU KNOW?

Mix one drop of peppermint essential oil into a teaspoon of almond oil (or other carrier oil), and rub it on your temples to relieve pain. If you’re holding tension in your neck and shoulders, massage the mixture into those areas as well. Incorporate deep breathing or other stress reduction techniques to calm your body and loosen your neck muscles. Other headache-reducing supplements to try include magnesium, butterbur, and feverfew. Consider cutting out certain foods—chocolate, artificial sweeteners, and MSG may be triggers— especially if you suffer from migraine headaches.

Open Your Soul - Yoga Flow

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN in a yoga class, moving and grooving and feeling fine, when you settle into a deep hip opener and all of a sudden find yourself crying? I have. No matter how many times a yoga teacher tells you, “We store a lot of emotion in our hips,” it can still be a bewildering experience when your feelings release with seemingly no warning.

VIRABHADRASANA II (WARRIOR POSE II)

Stand in Mountain Pose with your back about 6 inches from a wall. Turn your right toes toward the front of your mat as you step your left foot back and place it either perpendicular to the wall or at a 45-degree angle. Bend your right knee, stacking it over your ankle. Place a block between the outside of your knee and the wall. Press your knee into the block and draw your thigh bone into your hip socket. Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, reaching through your fingers. Hold for 5-10 breaths. Repeat on the other side.

PARIVRTTA TRIKONASANA (REVOLVED TRIANGLE POSE)

Start in Mountain Pose at the back of your mat. Step your right foot forward. Turn your left toes out slightly. Straighten both legs. Place a block on the outside edge of your right foot. Rotate your torso to the right and place your left hand on the block. Rest your right hand on your hip or extend your arm skyward, aligning your right shoulder and left wrist. Hug your inner thighs toward each other; feel a stretch along your outer hips. Hold for 5-10 breaths. To exit, bring your right hand down, lift your torso, and step back to Mountain Pose. Repeat on the other side.

UTTHAN PRISTHASANA (LIZARD POSE)

From Mountain Pose, step your right leg forward. Bend your knee at a 90-degree angle. Place your hands on the mat, framing your right foot. Lower your hips. Place a block under your left thigh. The block creates a deeper hip opening because it lifts your back knee away from the floor. Deepen the stretch by lowering your forearms onto a block or on the mat, with the option for another block under your forehead. Hold for 5-10 breaths. To exit, step your left foot forward to meet the right. Roll up to Mountain Pose. Repeat on the other side.

BADDHA KONASANA (BOUND ANGLE POSE)

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees open wide. Draw your heels toward your pelvis. Separate your feet and place blocks at any height or width between your soles. Fold forward, releasing your head and neck toward the blocks. Reach forward and place your fingertips on the ground. Press your feet into the blocks to activate your hips and inner thighs. You can stack more blocks under your head or thighs for more support. Hold for 5-10 breaths.
