WHAT'S NEW
 Greetings!
Art is the way that we interpret our place in the world around us by
depicting its countless aspects through the lens of our unique and
infinite imaginations. For individuals on a spiritual path, art can
become a way to express the creative energy inherent in the universe
that flows through each of us.
The October issue
of YogiTimes
is devoted to the power of art to express universal divinity regardless
of the cultural, religious, societal or geographical backgrounds of the
artists. The six artists featured in this month’s issue
represent a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities yet they all
acknowledge through their art the common thread of humanity that exists
in all of us. We trust that you’ll be inspired by their work
and that you’ll enjoy and find value in all of the regular
information and features to be found in Yogi Times.
Namaste,
Martin Hughes, Managing Editor
Sophie Parienti, Editor In Chief

SNEAK PEAK
 Divine Inspirations
Spirituality, Art and
the Unity of All Mankind
By Siddhartha V. Shah
Photography by Jasper Johal
If it were possible
to transport ourselves through time and space, to
the very origin of human life and, thus, the human need for expression,
we would find one very potent truth that underlies virtually all of
mankind’s most brilliant creations: the celebration of the
Divine through beauty and creativity. From the primitive cave paintings
of Lascaux featuring animals and human forms to the awesome pyramids of
Egypt, in every remote region on earth, we have sought to speak of that
which is greater through form – in poetic language,
devotional music and, of course, through art. Read

 Sacred Slumber
Creating a Sacred
Family Bedroom
By
Jagatjoti Khalsa
Photography by Jasper Johal
The notion of the family bed may seem strange to those who view the
bedroom as a place for romance and sensuality. However, just as romance
is an integral part of loving relationships, peace is an integral part
of familial relationships. When we dedicate our bedroom to familial
bonding and spirituality, we strengthen our connection to our spouse
and children, as well as set a tone of restoration that benefits every
aspect of our lives. Read

YOGA TIP
 When practicing yoga
you may tend to clench the jaw and tighten the
face in the more challenging postures. One way to help the face and jaw
relax is to flutter the lips, making a sound like a horse. The jaw and
face will immediately become peaceful. Once the face is relaxed
continue with a steady and auditory, ujjayi breath.
