"Although the Lord is the personification of
love, we seldom allow him to enter the temple of our
hearts. Truly, the wise proclaim that love is the
only path, love is the only God, and love is the only
scripture. Impress this verse upon your memory and
chant it constantly if you want to realize your dreams
of growth. Only love purifies the body and mind. Love
is the all seeing divine eye and the wish-fulfilling
touchstone. Every living being is a stream of love.
Let us allow someone to taste our love and let us
taste someone else's love. Love flowing in another's
life is the source of our happiness, and the love
flowing in our own life is the source of another's
happiness. This is the universal law. Love is not
far away. Love is as close as each of our hearts.
Victory to the Path of Love. Victory to the Lord of
Love." Swami Kripaluvanandaji (Bapuji)

Shirodhara
is a 5,000 year old Ayurvedic therapy from India. It
is traditionally used to calm and restore the nerves,
release emotions, and purify
the mind.
Shirodhara has been shown to help with insomnia, nervousness,
anxiety, fatigue, headaches, some mental disorders,
excessive thinking, and many other stress related conditions
commonly affecting modern active people. In Ayurvedic
medicine, shirodhara is an important tool in the pursuit
of higher states of consciousness.
Evidence Based Medical
Studies evaluating the benefits of yoga postures, prayer
and meditation endorse these ancient techniques as complimentary
to traditional allopathic health care.
Yoga "has been shown to decrease the subjective experience of pain and stress in a variety of research settings. Daily practice fosters development of a profound inner-calmness and non- reactivity of mind, allowing individuals to face all aspects of daily life, regardless of circumstances."

guided imagery, or a massage for pain sufferers is simple
but potentially beneficial, inexpensive aids to care that
