Acharya Vandana's Inspirations

“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.

Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”
Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Spiritual Director, Center for Spiritual Enlightenment

Reclaiming Inner Peace
Spiritualizing Self-Care
Acharya Paula Vandana Whang-Ramos


"Peace of mind, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and mental purity, are austerities of the mind."
Bhagavad Gita 17:16



As summer arrives, we are called outside to enjoy warmer weather and longer days. Being outdoors can inspire or compel us to want to do more during these sunny days. The ego's wrong thinking is that if we do more, then we will be more - more productive, more valued, more effective, more, more, more! When the mind becomes overactive, overwhelmed, confused, and stressed with all it believes it must do, it can be difficult to realize more positive, constructive, enjoyable summer options, even if they are right in front of us!

In Kriya Yoga, how we do what we do, greatly influences what we actually do. As we live into the beauty and fun of summer, join us at Blue Lotus Center as we intentionally redirect the mind to realize and choose a more uplifting, discerning, balanced, fulfilling way of life. Instead of reactively increasing our activity and overwhelm, let's intentionally increase our consciousness to ease into our innate peace, joy, kindness, and calm even-mindedness. Let's create an inner awareness that realizes all the divinely grace-filled beauty, joy, communion, and fun of summer!  

 Join us at BLC this month as we meditate and contemplate the conscious care of the mind/body as spiritual practice. Gift yourself time to receive and remember the presence of divine wholeness emanating through your mind/body right now. New and experienced students of Kriya Yoga are welcome.
