Celebration of Summer Solstice

It's summer yet again. The longest day of the year, so we are told.

Well then, let us all celebrate!

Celebrate what you may ask, as there has been so much devastation all around us, causing imbalance in many through anger, fear and sadness.

As the events in our universe continue to shift quickly, these shifts have also affected our animal friends. How could it not? They are much more open to energetic shifts than we are. Believe me, our animal friends are on to it already. They also have much to lose.

So let us celebrate the beginning of summer by gathering our heart energies of love, compassion, balance, nurture, and healing to everything and everyone around us. Let us ground that heart energy deep within ourselves so that it may emanate to all that exists. If we focus on this daily, I believe we can heal and return balance to our world.

Celebrate today and each day... if you don't already do so.

Namaste,
Christina

Think Sun Protection

It's finally here! The newest protection for our skin that is not going to cause adverse reaction to our health. The latest additions to our online store are “Think Sport” and “ThinkBaby” Sunscreen, sun protection products.

I was introduced to this sunblock last year during that ABC Conference for children and came across it again at the Eco West Show. I have waited for months to finally get this into our shopping cart.

Living here in Los Angeles is a good reason to have a trusted Sun Product to use daily, especially on my child.

Here is the technical breakdown on the well-known SkinDeep site that rates all cosmetic products.

As most of you know, we keep very limited products in our shopping cart because we choose to carry what we feel is cost effective and great for our health. So if this new product interests you, I suggest you check out our shopping cart soon.

What's New at YogaHub

YogaHub Goes Mobile (aka iPhone Friendly)

As the saying goes, “the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step”. We at YogaHub have grand visions of what a mobile app would or could look like for our YH Community and we hope to be able to turn these visions into a reality some day. However, as a starting point we've chosen to take our mobile development one step at a time.

We're excited to announce the new iPhone, iPod touch and Android friendly mobile version of our YH blog site. You can now surf over to YogaHub.org on your mobile phone and both read and comment on posts in a smooth, clean and easy-to-understand interface that is void of any unnecessary clutter.

So check it out and let us know what you think. Oh, and if you're on an iPhone or iPod touch, be sure to press the plus (+) sign and add it to your “home screen” so you can launch it from your phone with a single tap.

For more details, you can read Segovia's recent blog post titled “YH Blog Goes Mobile”.

Do you have an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch? What features or information would you most like to see in a future YogaHub App? Do you read our newsletter on your computer or mobile device? Please share your comments and feedback.

Shifting the Balance by Christina Souza Ma

This week has been another week of transitions. Transitions of all kinds for me and those around me.

I recently came to learn about several others who have been diagnosed with cancer, as well as some who have passed away during this past year. There seems to be such a major shift on this planet, resulting in how we are being affected in our lives and in the lives of those around us. Continue Reading...

The Writing Life by Megan McDonough

I'm sitting here this morning in my favorite writing chair — a mission-style recliner with wide wooden arms that have plenty of space for my coffee. Later I'll add the cordless phone to the other armrest for my business calls. It's rather dangerous. I could sit here for too long. My strategy is to consume lots of fluids, forcing me to get up and take care of business when my bladder insists upon it. Continue Reading...
