Are you breathing right? Have you ever counted how many times you breathe in a minute? Breathing is the first act of life and it’s the last act of life. In between, the whole life we are breathing in and out, but not attending to the breath Ninety percent of the impurities in the body go out through the breath because we are breathing twenty-four hours a day. The breath is our best friend -- it's always with us. And yet, we hardly know much about it. What's more ... it holds some timeless sec …

This meetup is for people in the DC metro area who are on a journey to a state of higher consciousness and a state of oneness. We are dedicated to awakening humankind into a state of Oneness.

To awaken is to know what we truly are:" the unborn, the undying, the eternal, the ever present, the ever present pre …

Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference. We can come together as Americans to solve or at least constructively engage in the enormous difficulties we face globally and as a nation. I have a simple idea. It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …
