This week, we revisit a special event in my life where I unknowingly manifested meeting my husband and my dream Parisian life.I grew up in a small town called Sandy Bay in Tasmania and have always dreamed of living in Los Angeles or Paris. I would cut out anything about Paris from newspapers and magazines and put them in a board, not realising they're what we would now know as vision boards!I dreamed and dreamed, and dreamed and opportunities to actually live in Paris came my way. A friend asked me to live in their flat in Paris for 5 days and I of course said yes.I remember jumping on a cab to do my New Moon wishes under the Eiffel Tower. I wished to live in Paris and perhaps love and manifested both!Whatever your dream is, keep going with it. Keep focused on your dream.Some key takeaways:Create a Vision Board Manifesting is both a conscious and subconscious actKeep doing it, and keep wishingThink about what you DO want, not what you DON'T want.If you want to learn more about manifesting, I will be holding a LIVE workshop in Seattle, Washington on October 28, 2022 at 7:30pm Pacific Time at the Yoga Hall at Blue Lotus Temple in Bothell Washington.Get your in-person and online tickets here!Listen to more of Yasmin Boland at:http://mainlymoonology.com/Yasmin in Social Mediahttps://www.facebook.com/yasminbolandmoonologyhttps://www.instagram.com/moonologydotcom/Do you want to change your life?Take on the Moonology Manifesting Challenge at moonologymanifestingchallenge.com and manifest your best life!

Special service to honor Bhante Assaji's father, who recently passed away - This special service includes guided meditation and chanting, led by the Blue Lotus Temple monastics.
When Bhante Sujatha was 10 years old, he told his parents he would throw himself off the bridge into the river below his childhood home in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, if they did not let him become a monk. Since that time, he’s remained just as certain and determined to live a life dedicated to adding more love to the world and helping people heal their wounded minds. Bhante has always known he was born to serve humanity and he wakes up everyday committed to this noble cause, teaching meditation and helping people access the deeper parts of themselves so they can feel radiant joy and peaceful happiness. With a single robe and some leftover food, Bhante left his home country and eventually found his way to America, where he learned a new language and culture and discovered the aching desire people have for a more meaningful life. In a old leaky church basement, Bhante was given a small room to teach meditation. The first night, two people showed up. A decade later, The Blue Lotus Temple is a world-renowned Buddhist temple and meditation center that serves thousands of people locally and even more all over the world, under Bhante’s leadership as abbot and spiritual director. Bhante leads more than 380 meditations a year, for which he travels hundreds of thousands of miles, often walking off a plane and onto a podium within minutes. He speaks to colleges and universities across the world, leads small group retreats, and consults with corporate giants, teaching them all that love is the way and peace is a constant practice.
Bhante Sujatha has been a Buddhist monk for over thirty years, focused on teaching loving-kindness meditation through a deep yet simple approach, and he is founder and head of the Blue Lotus Temple in Illinois. In this talk he discusses the difference between simple relaxation and the dedicated practice of meditation, and relates personal stories of forgiveness and healing through acceptance and courage.
