Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.
- Jalal al-Din Rumi

Reconnect with the moon and nature’s rhythms! 🌙✨ Dive into my latest post 'Astrology and the Moon' and discover how to deepen your relationship with the night sky. Join me on this journey of spiritual exploration! Read more: https://wix.to/Ab5fUaf

by Jessica Girija JewellWith electricity at our fingertips, it’s easy to drift out of conversation with the Moon. We stay up late, wake too early, and lose the wise counsel of the ancient night sky. Let’s pause now for a moment and return to our relationship with Mother Nature — remembering th...

🍂 Yoga for the Seasons: Soothing Vata’s Autumn Whirl

We had our first true cold this morning — 18°F at dawn, 40°F by afternoon… and tomorrow, twenty degrees warmer again.

This time of year carries a beautiful but unstable quality:
the air element rises, the body dries, the mind scatters, and our inner atmosphere can get a little… windy.

Vata dosha is related to creativity and lightness — and also bloating, burping, and the kind of “air movement” best met with a laugh.

Yoga is a rasayana — a nourishing tonic for body, mind, and soul. When we create warmth and steadiness within, clarity and calm emerge.

Tonight, we’ll ground the winds, calm the belly, and help the body find stability again through breath and asana.

🌬️ Yoga for the Seasons: Vata Balance
📅 Tonight — Monday, November 10
🕖 7:00–8:15 p.m.
📍 Yoga Together Lincoln
(390 S. 48th St., 2nd Floor — enter through the center door facing 48th St.)
💛 $22 drop-in

We’ll begin with a short introduction to Ayurveda for yoga practitioners, then move into a warming, grounding practice.

Come if you’re feeling scattered, chilly, gassy, tender, or just in need of a little steadying.

Leave feeling warmer, clearer, and more rooted in yourself

This Saturday evening, I’m hosting a small, heart-centered workshop called The Body as Sacred Ground — an introduction to a beautiful Vedic mantra, the Laghunyāsa, that invites us to remember the body as a sacred place for the divine to dwell.

We’ll chant, reflect, sip warm chai, and create a space of connection and reverence for the bodies we live in. If you’ve been craving a more soulful way to be in your body, this may be just the evening for you.

🕯 Saturday, Nov 8 | 6–9 p.m.
📍 Yoga Together Lincoln
💛 Exchange: $75 (sliding scale available)

If you’d like to join, please let me know so I can prepare enough handouts, candles, and snacks.

Would love to have you with us.

Have you ever wondered why mantra is such a powerful spiritual practice?

Mantra isn’t just beautiful sound — it’s a way of training the mind, refining the nervous system, and tuning our awareness toward the sacred. Even a short mantra practice can:

✨ Steady the mind and reduce mental noise
✨ Shift emotion and mood toward clarity and peace
✨ Build focus and inner discipline (a key preparation for meditation)
✨ Nourish the subtle body and make the mind more sattvic
✨ Connect us to the spiritual heart and a deeper sense of “inner home”

If you’ve ever wanted to begin (or deepen) a mantra practice, this workshop is a gentle and meaningful way to step in.

On Saturday, November 8 (6–9 p.m.), we’ll gather for The Body as Sacred Ground: A Workshop in Mantra and the Spiritual Heart — an evening of learning, chanting, reflection, and connection.

You’ll be introduced to the Laghunyāsa, a beautiful Vedic chant that sanctifies the body and helps us return to the heart with reverence and presence.
No experience needed — just curiosity and willingness.

💛 Pre-registration is encouraged so I can prepare materials and chai for everyone.

✨ Register at: https://www.yogatogetherlincoln.com/services-7

Reflection for you:
Have you ever noticed a change in your inner state — even after a few minutes of chanting or repeating a mantra?

“That was some transformational stretching!” These words resonate with how yoga connects us to something sacred. Read more at

by Jessica Girija JewellAfter a yoga class one day, a friend said, “That was some transformational stretching.” The phrase made me laugh, and the more I use it, the more I like it. Maybe it’s because it holds a kind of truth — yoga is stretching, but also something far more meaningful. I thi...
