“"Peace in our homes, community, and world begins with a vision of it, faith in it, and the commitment to realize it by working for it. Bring forth the light of peace by first experiencing it directly in meditation and then transmit divine peace to others.”

Spiritualize The Mind With Mantra

Acharya Paula Vandana Whang-Ramos

"The way to inner peace and happiness begins with claiming our power to transform our thinking

and the willingness to stop blaming others for our difficulties."
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, CSE Daily Inspiration 01/25/2026

When life is coming at us fast, it can be easy to lose our inner balance and begin to blame others for our own mental, emotional, and behavioral choices and reactions to undesired and unexpected circumstances. When we do this, we can actually decrease our inner peace and happiness because we choose to give our power to the very person or circumstance that scared us in the first place! If you are ready for an alternative to this cycle of suffering, then join us at BLC this month as we continue our yearlong intention to Reclaim Inner Peace amidst chaotic circumstances.

In February, we will continue to deepen our practice to Spiritualize the Mind. Join us as we explore and experience the power of Mantra. Mantra can help calm and redirect the mind into the innate soul power and wisdom that resides within us. All month, we will learn and practice a simple but powerful Mantra to help open the mind into the Wholeness in which we live and that flows through us all. Join us and experience how mantra can reveal the peace of the soul in this moment, right now.
