Let's sing a Happy Song as the loveliness of Spring arrives..Hopefully, everyone in podcastland enjoyed their Easter and Spring break. Enjoy this episode as you learn all about the Yoga Gunas; Tamas, Raja, and Sattvic ....We are all seeking happiness and contentment, and these three gunas are states-of-being that we carry with us at every moment. Everywhere there, we choose how to use the Light we were given. How do you perceive the joys of Life around you?
Life can be tricky, and play games with our consciousness. What a Mystery ! There are new disorders and health concerns happening ,all the time, as we humans get distracted, lack well-being, and continue with so much “doing” without attentiveness, love, and genuine caring. It's one thing “to know” and another “to be” what we know, where? In your “ own backyard”. To catch the morning light, smell the coffee, hear the cooing of a morning dove, the breath of a fleeting moment....in your own backyard. Something so peaceful and familiar about the spaces between when we stop, view the hillsides, the beauty of the ocean shore , just stop, smell the roses, where? In your “own backyard”
An episode all about friendships, and the importance of good, human relations. What makes a good friend? Setting good examples, preparing our children, and establishing good family connections teach us all the value of healthy, strong friendships. People who care, understand, and support others are good networkers that create positive energies in their surroundings. Do you have friends? Want friends? How do you go about seeking quality friendships?
Thank-you for listening this week to a soul-full prayer by Thomas Yellowtail, spiritual leader of the Crow Indians , known as the Apsáalooke Native Americans. Today, most Crow people reside in the Southern Montana region. This prayer, strong and powerful, asks for blessings for us All to live in understanding, peace, and love. The nature of our beautiful lands provide so much comfort, and reminds us of God's creation. As humans, we can expand our wisdom, stay on track, and not forget our born divinity.....
There are many reasons that draw or call the seeker towards the Inner Life and exploration of meditation. What is your reason? Could be you are experiencing conflicts, dealing with some disease, sadness or loneliness...maybe long for more peace of mind, and a deeper side of Life. Whatever, the reason, the practice of meditation is “your journey” “ your quest” towards the inner-treasures Within. Meditation opens your mind and heart to the expanded opportunities of self-growth. In “ Moving Closer” to your aspirations, this inner path strengthens , and releases those who are sincere, and prepares for the realness of living-consciously. Devote the time and space each day to calm down, center yourself, focus on your breath, and seek your truth for you, because of you, to become you, “ Move Closer”...
Round the children up, get involved, and have some fun with Animal Yoga. Breath through the asanas , get a good work-out ,and learn something new! See if you can keep the brain passive, alert, and watchful during this practice. Remember to listen to your own body, and just do what you can without straining or pushing. Your Yoga practice not only assists you in your meditation practice, but also continues to develop a strong and firm foundation for you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Have fun, no rush, just breath...

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced meditator, let's breath and swim together as we unravel and open ourselves into the sea of peace and calm within us All. Stay inspired as you keep on discovering and exploring your true nature of the Light and the Goodness Within...
Good, good, good, good vibrations! That's what we want to tune into, and put out there into the space around us. Lifting our vibes with positive words, peaceful and beautiful surroundings , and inspiring activity, not only brings us joy, but serves everyone we come into contact with. We stay healthier, as we see, and feel deeper through growing into that Goodness Within ourselves. As our realizations come to the fore, we understand our responsibility to put good vibes in the World with our power of speech, listening skills, positive actions, and selfless service.
Come along with Shirley as she goes over the past episodes of Season 2. Could be you'll hear something you didn't hear before. It's a good habit to revisit things you've read, heard, or watched before as your awareness is always expanding. As we continue to nurture our higher-self our “eye of observation” widens. Could be you'll feed re-inspired all over again. I'll do my best to be your biggest cheerleader !

Women hold so much promise for our future, and our future generations. The many characteristics of the feminine Spirit like purity , grace, intuition, and dignity, just to name a few, make-up a Woman of Substance. This kind of woman really cares, stands tall, and knows how to appropriately give the wisdom she carries. Women are such an important part of Life and truly impact the conditions of our World. The nurturing nature of a Woman of Substance is a remarkable value to us All.....enjoy.
An open heart brings forward moments of Bliss, a extremely happy and joyful feeling. B-L-I-S-S being loving in self-less service takes you beyond those feelings of agitation and restless to a place of peace and calmness which is a healthier “state-of-being”. Open your heart, stay inspired and passionate in your Life, dream big and get around inspiring people. Enjoy a good listen, all about Bliss!!
