Greetings from Karen
Hi everyone,
I can't believe that it's November already!! Where did this year go?

I'm excited to share with you this great offer from the Chopra Center.

What I love most about attending Chopra Center Events is the LOVE...and sharing meditation, yoga, great food and lots of hugs with new friends from all around the world. You will smile more, laugh harder, breathe deeper and feel better than you have in years. The speakers will inspire you and you will come home with a new way of looking at yourself and the world around you.

So go ahead and check out the catalog and if you're not sure which event to attend give Libby a call and she will help guide you to the event that is right for you. The one closest to us in New Mexico next year is Synchrodestiny in Sedona, AZ, May 18-22.

I'm planning to attend Journey Into Healing in Asheville, NC, in June and the yoga teacher training in August and October.

I have attended all of the events listed in the catalog, with the exception of Free to Heal, so if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Namaste,
Karen

What's Your Dosha, Baby?
Courtesy of the Chopra Center Library

Dosha is a Sanskrit word that translates as "mind-body constitution" or "mind-body personality." According to ayurveda - the 5,000-year-old "science of life" - there are five master elements or mahabhutas that make up everything within our bodies and everything outside of our bodies: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Space carries all the aspects of pure potentiality - infinite possibilities; air has the qualities of movement and change; fire is hot, direct, and transformational; water is cohesive and protective; and earth is solid, grounded, and stable.

Cleanse and Balance with Ginger Tea

Ginger Tea
tea cup

Ginger tea is a powerful cleansing drink that mobilizes toxins and restore balance to the body. It also benefits the digestive system and helps diminish cravings for sweet and salty foods. The Chopra Center recommends drinking two to three cups of hot ginger tea every day. Keep in mind, however, that ginger slightly increases Pitta dosha, so avoid drinking large amounts if your Pitta is out of balance.

To make one quart of ginger tea:
Chop an unpeeled 2-inch piece of whole ginger into coarse pieces and place in a 2- to 3-quart pot with one quart of purified water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, allowing the tea to simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the tea and store in a thermos bottle or glass jar.

To make one cup of ginger tea:
Take a piece of whole, unpeeled ginger root and grate 1 heaping teaspoon. Stir the ginger into a cup of hot water and let steep for 2 minutes. Strain or let the ginger settle at the bottom of the cup.
