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 s …

I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

We are inundated with news stories of atrocities, war, and murders happening all around us. We need to make it a point to come together as a human race and embrace one another. This non-profit w …
