January 2018 Newsletter

Are you receiving the blog from Nayaswamis Jyotish & Devi, the Directors of Ananda Worldwide? If not, here is a link so you can subscribe. You'll be glad you did.

Recently Jyotish wrote a great blog about their seclusion in a retreat house in the foothills of the Himalayas. Jyotish's words about the benefits of taking quiet time for silence are informative and inspirational.

One of the many advantages of silence is that we can get in touch with our own intuition. Clarity of thought and applied reasoning are wonderful tools. They feel like good companions. If we calmly observe, feel and consider our experiences, the power of reason can help us develop intuition. We also, however, need to get quiet and go inside. A developed intuition can connect us with “soul-wisdom.” Being able to trust that inner wisdom brings a deeper knowing - and a comfort and richness to life that a reliance on reason alone cannot deliver.

Most of us may not be able to visit a retreat in the foothills of the Himalayas. But many can visit a retreat in the foothills of the Sierras Nevadas! Come join us in March for a program to Develop Your Intuition.

May your new year be blessed with deep
meditations and soul-wisdom.
