HOPE 
Honest
Optimism
Plus
Enthusiasm

"Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” ~
                                          Arundhati Roy

I eagerly opened my email looking for links from a friend at the newspaper to the articles that were written on Yoga 4 Peace. I found beautiful images that captured the spirit of the event. I didn’t realize before that moment that I was in a bit of a funk. Recent discussions amongst friends on the bleak out look of the nations political future, emails suggesting that we are heading to war with Iran, and news of raw almonds being illegal now had been weighing on me without even realizing it. But the images of the event sparked an energy of renewed hope and optimism for the future.

There are thousands of people meditating for peace every day and the number is growing. In our local community and nation wide people are talking about global warming and causing a change. Business and corporations are starting to make better decisions for people and the planet. Nutrition Unlimited in Southgate for one is dedicated to causing a change in peoples awareness of healthy and healthy products. The Glass Academy in Dearborn is teaching environmental harmony and is hosting raw food advocates. The yoga community is working together to build awareness.

To attract more change in our world we have to be the change ourselves. We need the attitude of HOPE - Honest Optimism Plus Enthusiasm. If we are fearful and pessimistic about are world we will attract what we don’t want. We have to be courageous, look for the good changes that are happening and spread the word about those making a difference. I believe the consciousness of the planet is increasing. One paradigm change will come soon causing a shift in this planet. I know it won’t be long till we recognize that we are all God’s children and that we have one plant to care for including the water, air, earth and beings. That is what I’m standing for and I hope the you will hold this thought in your mind too. Give up any doubts and replace them with HOPE.

Peace, Love, and Light,

Jim

NEW CLASS
Mondays @ 7:15 


Whether You’re Brand New to Yoga or a Seasoned Practitioner,
this class is for You!

Yin / Restorative:
Yin Yoga is the practice of  applying long passive holds to safely mobilize, rehabilitate, and energize the deep connective tissue and joints. This simple, quiet, meditative practice encourages the cultivation of mindfulness, inward focus, and surrender. The deep emotional release that often accompanies this gentle practice teaches us to relax, let go, and accept ourselves just as we are.  All levels welcome

Karma Yoga

Aloha everyone! Thank you so much for contributing all the wonderful school supplies for the children of COTS. Your generous donations will help encourage learning and make low income children prepared for their future education. You can go online and check out their website at www.cotsdetroit.org and read about their wonderful leaps and bounds they’ve made in their past 25 years of service to homeless men, women and children.

On to our next adventure in giving! This time of year many people do not think of food drives and feeding the hundreds of thousands of hungry people around our state, but many local food banks and soup kitchens have short supplies during the summer months as they see a higher donation rate during the holiday times. In fact the Detroit Ronald McDonald House was in need of supplies (I found that to be very odd). I’d like to have a food drive of our own. Please bring in as many non-perishable food items to the studio by September 27th and we will donate them to the third-oldest food bank in the United States, Gleaners of Southeast Michigan.

Just for kids:

September is back to school for many children. Talk with your principal and PTA if they would like to have a recycling container on the schools property. This will teach children about recycling and it also generates revenue for their school. Recycling companies give a percentage of their profit back to the school. Everyone wins!

Green Miracles:

Many companies have seen the light and are now offering products that are made from recycled and renewable resources. For example, Mohawk carpets have made carpeting called, “Everstrand”, out of 100% recycled plastic bottles. In fact Mohawk is one of the largest recyclers of plastic bottles. A great website to look for other retailers for “Green” product and other great news and information is www.treehugger.com .

Mahalo and Namaste,

Your Donating Diva, Jessica Benson

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

 

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.
