Read July/August 2012 New Connexion

Can you turn enemies into friends?

According to Swami Kriyananda, by practicing ahimsa or non-injury, you learn how to affirm oneness — by kindness toward all beings, by compassion, by universal love. Rightly understood, ahimsa is the "ultimate weapon" of a strong person. It turns one’s enemy into a friend, banishing the possibility of further conflict. Ahimsa was often demonstrated by Swami Kriyananda’s own guru, Paramhansa Yogananda.

Watch Rita's Room on TV
Weekly spiritual exercise show
where we do breathing, affirmations and meditation.

Rita's Room presents mini-workshops designed to assist us through the shifting and transitioning of conscious evolution.

Each week's focus is congruent with an element and a body connecting us to nature.

Together we speak: 4 affirmations, 3 times, cleansing and replenishing chakras.
We breath in and out - that we are enough.
And, we meditate - guided to our safe place, we meet with our inner guidance.

Initiation Series: Unity
Meditation: Moving Images
Affirmation:
I was born a beautiful and trusting soul.
The creativity of the Universe flows through me.
My work allows me to express my talents and abilities.
I take a moment to treasure the mysterious process of life.
