So, this Black Friday instead of fighting the lines at the malls and spending your day on the computer, #optoutside and enjoy your family & friends. And once you’re rested and rejuvenated, stop by and stock up on our little doses of big inspiration over the weekend. Our sale won’t start until Saturday and it’ll last through Monday!

A Yogi’s Guide to Abundance
Although wealth is most often associated with worldly possessions and riches, Dileepji beautifully shares in the intro of this recording, that money is only a part of the picture; true wealth is a state of mind that comes from gratitude, good deeds and faith in the divine.
Wanderlust: a mindful triatholon + art
A few weeks ago I had the good fortunate to host a booth for Wholesome Soul at Wanderlust 108 D.C., where 1500 yogi’s made their way together for a day of yoga and mindful living. As someone who’s a practicing yogi and that enjoys exercise, hatha yoga, meditation and fresh diet, it was awesome to see how this event brought so many people together from different walks of life. It was a fun and diverse mix of cultures, body sizes, skill levels and interests…which was great to see.
The Happiest Man On Earth: my grandfather.
The happiest man on earth; my grandfather.
Words can’t really describe what an amazing soul my grandfather was. He touched the lives of thousands; putting a smile on each and every face and filling countless bellies with food and love. He lived on 3 continents, worked hard at turning his dreams into a reality and spent his days feeding people, laughing and making others laugh. He had a deep faith in God and family. And with 8 children, 16 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, he had the ability to make each one feel special and loved.
Dear Faith, thank you.
For my New Year’s collage this year I decided my word for 2015 was going to be Faith. Now, as July comes to an end and August begins, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on this word; especially since it was the theme of my teachers closing words at the recent meditation retreat I went to, and it’s also something my family is relying on heavily as we watch death slowly approach my grandfather.
I’m so grateful for my faith.
The magic of meditation.
I love India. There’s something so magical about being there…but so hard to put into words.
India is a country full of all sorts of extremes that can stimulate your senses and evoke a lot of emotions. These extremes are not compartmentalized or segregated, but instead they all co-exist. There’s richness and poorness, spirituality and materialism, spicy and extra spicy :), wide open farmland and overly congested cities, traffic jams and water buffalo crossings, delicious aromas and putrid smells and a deep innate sense of the constant bustle and peaceful stillness that life has to offer.
It’s amazing.
