The Gift of Peace and Wellness
Part 1
Welcome to Part 1 of the January issue of the Wild Di vine
Newsletter. This
month's theme is "Peace and Wellness ."
When we think of Peace, those who practice yoga may think of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The "Yoga Sutras", are an ancient text of yoga tradition consisting of both practical advice and theoretical context. Ahimsa is the first yama (or step) in the sutras, and is a concept which advocates non-violence and a respect for all life. Ahimsa is Sanskrit for avoidance of himsa, or injury. Ahimsa can be interpreted as non-violence in the physical and war-time sense, and also non-violence in the sense of being kind to yourself, and recognizing your own need for health and wellness.
In this newsletter, you'll find our Main Story by Shirley Ryan sharing thoughts on achieving world peace, some inspirational music from Snatam Kaur under Things We Love, and a link to an article by Healing Rhythms Mentor, Dr. Dean Ornish on cholesterol, and how it operates in our blood. Also be sure to read our latest Training Tip, and check out our New Year Specials in our Shopping Section.
Enjoy!

World Peace One Person at a Time
By Shirley Ryan
"You must be the change that you wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone, from beauty queens to politicians, wants World Peace. What most don't know is that peace begins with us! Peace isn't about what is going on in the Middle East, peace is how we relate to every individual we meet on a daily basis.
Beginning with our self, every relationship we have is a stepping stone to World Peace. We move outward from our center to our spouses, children, parents, siblings, family members, co-workers, supervisors, church, school, and community.
As we become more at peace within our personal worlds, we will extend that peace outward like ripples on a lake. This spiritual unity will be achieved one person at a time and permeate our world. A great new world order is unfolding and this holiday season is a good time to reflect on the past as it relates to our future. Evolve to a place where we set a tone for peaceful relations with everyone we meet? How can we evolve to these great heights, you ask? Does that sound like a fantasy? Well it isn’t, just imagine, and peace will grow.

Learn to detach from your thoughts
The key to mastering the mind is learning to, as the Buddhists say, "surf on the waves of your thought,"--a happy alternative to letting yourself get tossed and pummeled by them on the shore. You can do this by observing your thoughts as they come and go, watching rather than reacting. Your thoughts, like waves, will arise naturally -- but now you have the tools to ride them smoothly.
For the next few days, notice when your thoughts start racing and stress levels begin to escalate -- and take that opportunity to stop and observe this process. What are those thoughts about? Where are they coming from? What's causing them? The more you can detach from spiraling thoughts, the less likely you are to become victimized by them.
