All the Colors of Life


Book Description

There have been many qualities obtained over the years, including work and positions of leadership in several nonprofit organizations. Also a deep interest in color and design, ranging from the ownership in two art shops that bridged the gap between art gallery and a craft shop, with quality and variety. This led to set design for a local theater and interior design that I love. However, the greatest achievement, besides raising four children, was my participation in the Harmonic Convergence. This took place in 1987, and the best place to be was the only sacred site east of the Mississippi at the Serpent Mounds in Ohio. Since I needed an active part, I was The Hug Lady and met people from all over the world. Whatever we did, it helped, because the Berlin Wall came down within three years, and it was the beginning of the end of Communism. I enjoy anything I can do to help others.




The Jewel of Abundance


Book Description

Achieve Success and Prosperity through the Principles of Yoga Although millions of Westerners practice yoga simply for its health benefits, the philosophy and wisdom behind the multifaceted discipline have far more to offer. In The Jewel of Abundance, award-winning author and Kriya Yoga teacher Ellen Grace O'Brian reveals an overlooked aspect of yoga: its powerful teachings on prosperity. She draws upon the ancient Vedic tradition of yoga philosophy and practice and shows how spirituality and earthly success can complement each other, leading to realization of the higher Self. O'Brian presents a clear explanation of both the philosophy of yoga and the nuts and bolts of practice, such as setting up a daily meditation routine, incorporating mantras, discerning how to cooperate with universal principles for complete well-being, and cultivating mindfulness in action. Along the way, she illustrates her lessons with personal stories and timeless sayings from great sages, both Eastern and Western. With O'Brian's insightful guidance, readers will discover an inexhaustible source of abundance that is available to them whenever they look within.




Light Beyond the River


Book Description

Humanity meets Sacred Wisdom meets story. A creative nonfiction message in a uniquely fictional setting. Light Beyond the River is an experiential read, and it is deeply contemplative, in the same breath. Join Lyra—nurse by profession and poet by passion—on the Spiritual Formation Odyssey of a lifetime. Newly retired, Lyra goes for a daylong walk to clear her head. She hikes in the woods near her home by the river. There, she meets a motley crew—seven Celtic mystical voices—animals, birds, and a fish—who teach her seven invaluable life lessons. Deeper themes—of becoming—of shining brightly—of encountering the Sacred—are artfully braided, interlaced, and woven. The ending, the coda, is unexpected—twisted. It will most certainly make you think! Come now and live vicariously in Lyra’s contemplative life. Immerse yourself in the depths of holy wonderment. Slowly, slowly, enter into every word. Lose yourself—find yourself—on a delightful Celtic Christian journey. Let curiosity drive you, let your faith guide you. May you be opened. May you be awed into the world of fine contemplative literature. Let Light Beyond the River nurture the Sacred in you. Amen.
