Raw Food
Pot Luck
Thursday June 21 @ 7pm
The dishes just keep on getting better. If you have been
tuning into the talk on raw food you know the benefits of eating foods with all
of their enzymes in place. The stories of healing are miraculous and the taste
of this dishes are surprisingly delicious.
After last months raw food talk with Michael Dwyer I was motivated to go
completely raw. I only made it ten days, but those ten days really had me
feeling great. Unfortunately my cooked food cravings got the best of me. I hope
you will join us whether you have a dish to pass or just want to sample. |

Karma Yoga NEWS

Aloha Everyone! Our Heart Walk was a great success! We raised
$2702.00 for the American Heart Association. Not only was it a great
event to raise money but it was wonderful to see so many people out there
walking. It’s so simple to do and so good for you… just like yoga! I’d like to
continue on our path of helping our hearts and others. As I have mentioned
before, The Hearts of Hope non- profit group is incredibly vigilant in helping
families with children who are affected by heart defects, I’d like us to collect
donations of the following:
· Mints, Gum
· Travel Size Hand sanitizer
· Small Game books like Sudoku, Crossword or other
activity books
· Coloring books
· Small packs of crayons, markers or colored
pencils.
· Gift cards from Meijers (for gas and or pharmacy
purchases)
· New children’s books
They will take all these items and make a care package to
send to the hospital beds of the families in need. Please go to
www.heartsofhopemi.org to check them out. Please bring your items to Rising Sun
by June 28th and I will mail or drive them over myself.
I’m going to start writing about things we can do on our own
to make the world a cleaner and better place called, “15 Minute Miracles
of Green”. Each month I’ll put in a little bit of what you and your
family can do to help Mother Earth and even save you a little dough!
15 minute miracles of Green:
These days big stores like IKEA no longer give out plastic
bags for you goods. You can either purchase a reusable bag or go without or
bring your own. Urge other stores to consider doing the same. Also, grocery
stores like Kroger will give you 5 cents off your bill for each bag you bring in
to use. Again good for the environment and your pocket book!
This Saturday, June 2nd, The Greening of Detroit is
partnering with the Southwest Detroit Viaduct Project to clean and green
railroad property in southwest Detroit. We will be planting trees, shrubs and
perennials. We would love for 50 volunteers to help out. Volunteers should meet
at 9am at the corner of fort and Lawndale. Go to their website:
www.greeningofdetroit.com to learn more and to see how you can help.
Just for kids:
Put out a big bag and write “GIVE” on it for your children or
yourself and when it’s full take it to your local thrift store. But remember,
donate something you would give to your own friends or family. Non Profit
organizations do not want your one shoe or broken and cracked dishware. They
spend thousand of dollars each year on waste removal that could be spent on
those that need it most and they defiantly don’t need glass vases that come with
your last flower delivery. Take it to recycling!

New Earth Reiki Workshop
With Lisa Marie Gutowski
Saturday June 23rd 10am - 1pm
The focus of New Earth Therapy is in assisting others to
achieve their next greatest level of being, whatever that needs to look like for
them. Lisa Marie was gifted the system of New Earth Reiki as a method of
preparing for the evolutionary shift of 2012. New Earth Reiki raises the body’s
vibration through elevating and clearing all levels, activating all DNA strands
for oneness with quantum level knowledge and strengthening the hara line for
massive energy flow. Realigning all spirit bodies, bringing back parts of spirit
that has been dormant for lifetimes, and reintegrating lost parts of the self is
what NER is about. New earth Reiki is an effective, yet simple, method for
healing. NER will be available as a class in the summer of 2007.
$75
($60 if paid before June 15th)
Lisa Marie is currently writing a book called Beyond Techniques- The 2012
Shift, From Lightworker to Light. You may contact her at lmgutowski@wowway.com

Harboring Hate
__________________________________________________
When you think of harboring hate, what comes to
your mind. Do you think of people in foreign lands that hate the U.S.,
terrorist, violent criminals, or villains from a recent scary movie? Certainly,
or at least hopefully, you didn’t think of yourself. But honestly, can you look
inside and see if you harbor hate? Is there a place in you that holds on to
hate?
If we hold on to hate we lose the space for love. We take
away our own ability to abide in peace. We weaken our immunity to disease and
open ourselves up to sickness.
When we hold on to hate some part of us resonates with hate. We create and add
to the energy of hate on the planet. We become a part of what we do think about
when we consider the expression harboring hate. Why on earth would anyone want
to hold on to hate? What do we have to do to give up hate?
For over a year now I have been observing myself for things
that I have come to hate and hold on to. Surprisingly they haven’t all been
obvious. Some have though, like many unacceptable actions of our political
leaders or those that stemmed from past hurts caused by others that I felt have
done me wrong. Less obvious ones have come over time. Music that I have
despised, some food odors, and others still maybe revealed as I continue to
observe myself. Observation or self awareness is the first step in overcoming
the harboring of hate.
As we discover the hate festering inside, we have to really
have a motivation or resounding philosophy to eliminate it. The opposite of hate
is love and loving something you hate can be very difficult. So maybe we don’t
have to love what we hate but still sometimes anything less than hate can be
tough if we have strong feelings or have to make someone wrong. I may never love
the smell of sauerkraut but that doesn’t mean that I have to hate it. As Gandhi
said, we have to be the change we want to see if the world. If we want to see a
world free of hate we have to eliminate hate in ourselves. If we want to
experience peace of mind and good health we have to be free of hate. If we want
to practice yoga in it’s truest form we have to be free of hate. So even if
someone did me completely wrong, hurt me bad, it is essential to let go of the
hate.
Just letting go of the hate is the simplest way to get rid of
it. Maybe it takes forgiveness, or seeing something from a different
perspective, or looking for the good in what you hate. I have done this by
taking time to listen to country music. I have actually had fun singing country
tunes with my daughter in the car when I used to say my radio plays ABC music,
anything but country. I have recognized McDonalds for their work with the Ronald
McDonald House, clean bathrooms, and some effort to add healthier items to their
menus. I have recognized that our government and major corporations that are not
making decisions in the best interest of the many are just misguided souls in
need of prayer.
I can’t say for sure that my immune system is stronger, but I
can say that it feels good to give up hate. I hope any residual hates in me
surface so I can give them up too. If we all give up hate; just IMAGINE.
Peace,
Jim |

Kirsten Says Good-bye For Now,
RSY Welcomes Shawn & Valerie!
Kirsten Antkowiak, our 3-year veteran teacher, is moving to Kalamazoo
to be nearer to her family and she will be missed. When asked if she
wanted to say anything for a statement in the June newsletter she stood
silently looking at the ceiling as she tried to put those three years and
what she felt in words. She asked to express deeply felt gratitude to
students and teachers and all of those that added to her learning and
experiences on the yogic path. She is excited to start teacher training in
Kalamazoo in the lineage of Rod Stryker’s “Pure Yoga” and plans to return
to RSY to give workshops in the future.
Welcome Valerie!
Taking over Kirsten’s 7:30 pm Tuesday class is Valerie Perez. Valerie’s
background as a body builder for 10 years before she turned her attention
to yoga gives her a deep understanding of muscular structure. Her love of
fun, yoga training and years of physical discipline is a unique
combination that gives Valerie the tools to help you make progress on many
levels.
Welcome Shawn!
Shawn McCarthy is a schoolteacher for Riverview
School System and also teaches kids yoga classes here at RSY. Shawn is
probably best known for energetically team teaching many, many of Micha’s
classes in the past year where you will have experienced her guiding hands
on approach and great dedication to the practice of those in her care. She
will be teaching the 5:45pm and 7:15pm Thursday classes.

Blue Ice Pure Cod Liver Oil

Grandma knew what she was doing by giving us cod live oil. It is high
in vitamin A and D plus Omega 3 oils. The Blue Ice brand is the purist and
highest vitamin content we’ve found.
“Vitamin D may be one of the most fundamentally important
building blocks available to us for creating and sustaining vibrant health.
In addition to its classically understood role in bone formation and calcium
absorption, research has uncovered myriad roles for vitamin D, ranging from
increasing muscular coordination to preventing cancer, heart disease,
autoimmune diseases and radiation-induced tissue damage. Yet vitamin D is
also considered to be "the most toxic of all vitamins..", so don’t over do
it. (From Green Pasture’s Website) For more information visit
www.greenpasture.org and
www.westonaprice.org.
Afraid of the fishy taste, try the mint or cinnamon flavor
and fear no more.
We are also carrying Blue Ice Gold Therapeutics, a blend of high vitamin
cod liver oil-- 5000IU's vitamin A, 500IU's vitamin D -- plus 100mg of high
vitamin butter oil in each dose.
Without vitamin A & D our bodies don’t absorb minerals

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.
