Trees for Life – Spirit Calling Us
In certain spiritual traditions there are five Trees of Life that loosely corresponds to the five sheaths or koshas (energy bodies) of yoga.

Shine a light on the shadows
What happens when a candle is lit in the dark? Light appears, and shadows. Awareness is the light that highlights the seen, and the unseen.

In deep meditation we connect with mantra […]
