The Sikh community of Southern California came together for one of the largest Baisakhi celebrations at the Los Angeles Convention Center on April 8th 2018 that saw nearly 25,000 people attending the festivities full of devotion and exuberance.

The Sikh Dharma of Southern California along with the Guru Ram Das Ashram and Gurudwaras from Central and Southern California participated in some way through organizing langars, prayers, chants, decorations and the (nagar kirtan) float parade of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

The kirtan started at 7 a.m., which included spiritual and devotional songs and music performances by various groups like children’s, youth and women’s Jathas, as well as Ragi Kiran Jathas. Apart from the spiritual programs, the committee also organized a bazaar which had beautiful paintings, jewelry, books, keertan CDs and indian fashion clothes for sale.

The event included an honorary ceremony during which “Spirit of Baisakhi Awards” were presented to dignitaries for their contribution towards the Sikh community. These awardees were Congresswoman Judy Chu.

Mercury Retrograde Evening Wish

Mercury retrogrades are a great time to regenerate, review, reset foundations for new projects, and to investigate options.
Focus now in a big-picture way, asking for your soul’s view of your energy and path ahead.

Invite a knowing of what you can put into motion that will help you fulfill your soul’s purpose. Trust that in the asking, the universe will begin sending you the people, inspirations, and situations needed.

Remind yourself daily that you are LOVE, you are loved, and you are on purpose here in this world.

Heart-Opening Sequence for Self-Love

Find Happiness within. Yoga has taught me that every body is meant to be loved and respected as it is now. You are already worthy of love. You are enough. We’re all enough. Your perspective shifts as you spend more time tapping into love and happiness within yourself. Following sequence in yoga is all about fostering self-love because asana opens the heart, increases blood flow to the brain, and invites you to tap into your core strength, increasing confidence, silencing negative thoughts, and alleviating stress.

2018 Goals

True REST Float Therapy a.k.a. Sensory Deprivation

Float therapy is a powerful tool for wellness, relaxation, pain relief and sleep aid. Floating is rest reduced environmental stimulus therapy. With any therapy, with regular use its benefits are enhanced.

Stress, tension and pain have formed over time and will take time to experience the greatest relief– luckily, floating therapy is a rejuvenating, relaxing, fun, and effortless way to do so!

Float therapy offers relief and benefits which like to say “the more you float, the better it gets”, as floats themselves deepen beyond the first floating session. Though flotation is an effortless therapy, the body and mind actually learn how to relax into the float with each session.

Reset with Three buttons

SALT: Epsom Salts are great for your skin, hair, nails, and act as an exfoliate. 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts help prevent inflammation in your joints and muscles, treats sprains, strains, and sore muscles.

WEIGHTLESS: 1000 pounds of salt in 180 gallons of water creates a 30% salt solution, enabling the you to float effortlessly atop the water. This creates a deeply relaxing anti-gravity environment, as all tension can be dropped and safe to fall asleep. There are no pressure points on the body in this state. The spine naturally elongates and straightens, and the body undergoes the same regeneration process that transpires during sleep.

MEDITATION:

An hour of zero gravity and zero distractions will decrease the production of cortisone, a stress hormone, leaving us feeling refreshed and revived!! The brain enters the theta brain-wave state, associated with deep sleep and dreaming. As all external sources of distraction are removed, floating provides an extreme form of deep rest as the water feels like floating on cloud 9 or in outer space.

In the floatation environment, without the outside hustle of the world, people experience a profound calmness of mind. This allows for stress management, offers psychological benefits of a feeling of inner peace, and is a perfect complement to many alternative well-ness regimens.

This means that for anyone with stress induced or related diseases, such as hypertension, ulcers, heart disease, and many others, the flotation tank offers a mental solution to the physical symptom, and goes after the problem at its source. By combating the stress, which is at the root of these issues, flotation tanks help to heal the body and the mind. Even more abstract mental issues, such as depression, psychological issues, even PTSD, have been shown to be alleviated in the float tank environment due to shifts in brain chemistry.
