Recipe For Holiday Delight Once
again the holiday season is upon us. Some of you are elated with joy and
others have a count down to the 26th anticipating Christmas passing. Some of
us are singing carols to get into the spirit and others are battling
depression. Whatever your state of mind I would like to share a recipe sure
to pick you up by the boot straps and keep you from the doldrums of
depression or send you rocketing to new heights. The best part is there are
only three ingredients to make this happen. The tough part is keeping the
ingredients in the bowl of your mind and to continue stirring them into
application. But with a little tapas (discipline) and faith your success is
guaranteed. Are you ready to start cooking?
The first thing we’ll add to the pot is a glimpse of
infinite possibility. Take a minute to
look around you, (if you can get outside or away to a little nature this
works all the better), to everything your eyes reflect on your mind see the
source of all creation. Add this component slowly and all the way to the
top. Your looking to see a power greater than yourself in all things. If
you’re struggling with this one it may help to think of an invisible
omnipotent glue holding all things together. Again take your time adding
slowly. Contemplate the magnitude and masterful intelligence of the design
of the smallest things and the largest things from tiny microbes to the
cosmos. If your eyes water, tear, or stream with joy your on the right
track. Don’t worry about having enough room fill completely. Like pouring
water into a jar full of rocks there is plenty of room for the second
element.
“Immersed in the infinite and love, everyday will be more
delightful.”
Now we will top off your mind container with love. Begin
to deepen your breath imagining each inhale filling your heart with more and
more love. When the heart begins to overflow with love imagine a tube
running to your mind and saturating it completely. Think and act now with
unconditional love. Immersed in the infinite and love, everyday will be more
delightful. You cannot consume to much so have multiple bowls each day as
needed.
What about the third ingredient you ask? This one will be
sprinkled as needed: Forgiveness. Use as needed anytime you slip back to
your old mind habits. Forget to see the divine design in something or to
think/act with love. It’s okay sprinkle with forgiveness and enjoy another
bowl of holiday delight. Let each day bring you the joy of enlightened
consciousness.
Many Blessings,
Ji m |

Karma Yoga News ~December ‘06 |
|
Aloha,
Jessica here, wanting to thank all of you so much for bringing in
art supplies for the children of COTS. I was really surprised and elated at
the response! Unity is the key to helping those in need. I delivered all the
items to COTS on Halloween; the staff at COTS were very thankful and
appreciative of your kindness. So, thank you again and let’s keep the ball
rolling!
Last month was the Walk-Against Homelessness. It was a cold and dreary
day and it was also the UM vs. OS football game, so as it ended up, I was
going to be the only one there. However, we ended up raising $100 in pledges
for www.HANDetroit.org .
This month we have adopted a family. The family consists of a single mom
with 4 children ages ranging from 4 to 14 years. The family was previously
homeless but has managed to get back on their feet and now has a permanent
home. When individuals or families find them selves homeless and in COTS and
are then able to go to permanent housing they are given 1 year worth of
services and support from COTS. This is why there are on the Adopt-a-family
list. We are asking for your help in making their Christmas brighter by
donating the following items:
1. 3 pairs adult size mittens/gloves,
2. 2 pairs of women’s shoes and or boots size 9
3. women’s shoes and or boots size 7
4. boys shoes and or boots size 5
5. girls packaged underwear size 5/6 and 7/8
6. boys packaged underwear size 10
7. ladies packaged underwear size 16 or L
8. ladies packaged underwear size S
9. educational toys for children ages 14, 12, 10 and 4
Please bring your items prior to December 15th or on this date
for our first Charity Club/Karma Yoga meeting at 6:30 pm at Rising Sun Yoga.
The items should be new (underwear) or in excellent condition. Most of us
have the luxury of buying new things all the time. Our adopted family does
not. There will be a list up at the Rising Sun as well. If we have extras,
great! I know that other people of COTS will benefit from your generosity.
You may also bring in blankets, canned food or unused travel toiletries.
15 minute miracle:
- Check on your elderly or home bound neighbors. During the winter months
sidewalks get icy. Offer to shovel snow and deice their porches and
sidewalks or just drop in for a chat.
Just for kids:
- This is the time for Toys for Tots! Bring you child or children along
on a shopping trip to pick out a toy for children in need. There are
donation boxes all around the city. It’ll make them feel special knowing
they helped a child just like them.
Questions or ideas? Email me at redragon13@yahoo.com
Mahalo (Thank You) and Namaste,
Your Donating Diva - Jessica

Now Available At Rising Sun Yoga
Michigan Harvest
 Michigan
Harvest
is a proprietary blend of
sweet cherry, blackberry, blueberry and apple chosen to maximize the ORAC*
score while producing a flavor filled juice drink boost. Most high
antioxidant drinks use fruits from far away places in an attempt to maximize
antioxidant score. At Sol Resource we created
a high antioxidant drink made with fruits grown right here in the state of
Michigan. A single ounce of Michigan Harvest provides you with half of your
daily recommended antioxidant intake.
*ORAC
(Oxygen Radical
Absorption Capacity) measures the antioxidant activity of a substance.
Cherry Harvest
American Premium Blends
is
proud to present Cherry Harvest. Cherry harvest is a combination of
tart and sweet cherry blended in such a way to maximize benefits while
providing a surprisingly refreshing taste. Cherry Harvest is all natural
with no preservatives, added sugar or color. This is cherry juice the way
nature intended delicious and nutritious. Tart and sweet cherry juice are
both excellent sources of anthocyanins, a family of antioxidants that give
cherries their bright color but also may play a critically important role in
reducing inflammation, promoting joint health and reducing the symptoms of
gout and arthritis. So try an ounce of Cherry Harvest your body will thank
you for it.
Tart Cherry Harvest
Michigan is the top tart cherry producer in the United States harvesting
75% of the nation’s tart cherry crop. These cherries do not normally make it
to your local supermarket, mostly because the tart cherry crop is sent for
processing into jams, jellies, pie filling and of course tart cherry juice
concentrate. Scientific research suggests that enjoying a shot of tart
cherry juice concentrate might help defuse arthritis pain. It is this
overwhelming scientific evidence that compelled us at American Premium
Blends to create Tart Cherry Harvest, our own proprietary blend
of tart cherry juice that promotes the health benefits of tart cherry juice.
Samples are available at the studio, try a bottle the
taste is great.
