Global Healing Circle

Looking for a way to connect with other yogis around the world during this time? Tomorrow, April 21st, begins the Kundalini Global Sadhana, Global Healing Circle with the mantra Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung. This mantra celebrates the Oneness of Creation and all that exists within it, and is infused with the healing vibrations of all of the people who have chanted it for its healing capacity over the years. Each day you have the choice to sit up and chant-sending your healing energy out, or you may lay down and receive the healing from others.

WWII Veterans Remember the Surrender

In honor of Memorial Day Iowa Public Radio replayed an episode of River to River. This episode was a series of interviews with Iowa vets. The vets are so well spoken and speak from their heart. The first vet interviewed talks about how Transcendental Meditation (TM) helped him through his PTSD and how it has changed his life. Meditation is an amazing practice and it is fantastic to hear how it has changed this veteran's life and how he is using it to change others!

Today's Friday Gift of Gratitude is 'Energize Your System' - a powerful Kundalini Yoga Kriya...

Yoga Iowa has shared my words on their page. I love the community of yoga and so did my mom.

Prompted by the current issue "Yoga and Love" is a story shared with me through various email this winter by Bridget Toomey, an instructor at Heartland Yoga in Iowa City and contributor to our magazine. ~Tracey, managing editor

"I would love to share a little bit about my mom, Denese, her boyfriend, Paul, and me. We all practiced yoga together for years and all took the plunge of going through teachers' training together. What an experience for a mother and daughter to share, and for a couple to share!

Last summer my mom was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer and is continuing to fight the battle. She has been in ongoing chemotherapy since her surgery and diagnosis. Something that has kept us all sane through this traumatic event is our yoga practice and teachings. Not only has practicing yoga with my mom been a huge part of our relationship and getting though everything, but very important for my mom and Paul as well. Yoga is a big thing between the three of us but also in their relationship. Yoga love :)"

And the update:

"My mom passed away in February. It's been rough and hasn't quite seemed real yet. I'm overwhelmed and still in shock. At her service, we all spoke a lot about her love of yoga and how much it helped her get through her illness and pain. I held her hand as she died and we listened to a Kundalini mantra that always helped her calm down. At her service, I played a gong bath at her service to honor our yogic tradition and her. The experience of yoga is something we will always have together.

In her honor, I'm working to create ovarian cancer awareness. If anyone wants more information about spotting symptoms or using yoga to help deal with cancer treatment, please reach out to me."

Your yoga tribe loves and supports you, Bridget. Many blessings of peace to you and your family. Denese Kromminga was 63.
