Many of us think of yoga as physical exercises to enhance one’s physique, with an occasional short meditation for its calming effects. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. How to we deal with our intense human emotions or trauma that accumulated as we progress in our lives? According to ancient yoga, the human body is made up of the multiple layers—physical, mental, emotional; and there are many practices to bring light to our being. Emotions are vital and sacred; like pockets of energy waiting to be released; emotions are not obstacles but our guiding lights to finding the ultimate bliss in life. The ancient yogis gave us Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, to channel that energy and guide us back to our source. Bhakti is about a relationship with the universe and it is all encompassing that it embraces every color on the emotional spectrum. In Bhakti Yoga, we lead with our hearts. We sing, we dance, we play music, write poetry, cook, paint and do everything with love —as part of our interaction with the Divine. Kirtan, the practice of chanting mantras, is perhaps the most important technique in bhakti yoga (Man means “Mind” and Tra means “to Control”). The practice is simple but internally it works magic in our hearts. Externally, we’re just repetitively singing with simple melodies and a few Sanskrit words. But it helps us to put our analytical minds aside and singing from within. We sing from our heart that is crying out for love. We channel whatever emotion we’re feeling into our voice. Deep healing happens, walls will melt, wounds will heal, trauma will heal, hate & unforgiveness will dissolve. Long-submerged emotions come to the surface. As we sing, we immerse ourselves in an endless river of love from the universe. And we enter into a meditative & blissful state that allow our hearts to heal and re-open the infinite universal source of love within us. There is no need to understand the language of the mantra. No need for mental speculation nor any intellectual adjustment. It is automatic, from the spiritual platform, and anyone can take part without any previous qualification. Join us for Kirtan to heal our hearts: Every First Friday of the month 730pm – 9pm Mindful Space (Newton) 10 Winstedt Road #02-02 Block A (exception on 1st Mar, 3rd May & 2nd Aug, we will be at Little India) Enjoy a homecooked dinner made with love by volunteers after the kirtan Pay As You Wish Drop a donation in the temple on the actual day.

Come try Kirtan: It’s a simple, music-based meditation that helps you get out of your head and feel centered. Ever feel **stuck in your head?** Kirtan is a practice designed to help with that. While many of us think of yoga as just physical poses, Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) is **a practice for the heart**, using music and singing to connect. The main technique is Kirtan, or chanting mantras. It’s a **simple but powerful way** to help "control the mind" (which is literally what 'mantra' means!). On the outside, we’re just singing accessible melodies in a call-and-response style with a few Sanskrit words. But internally, the practice works its magic by helping you **set that over-thinking mind aside.** It’s an amazing way to tap into a **calm, joyful, and centered vibe.** **The best part?** You don’t need to understand the language or have **any prior experience at all.** Come **try it for yourself** and meet some great, **like-minded people**.

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **Panera Bread, 300 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, across from St. John Arena**. We'd love to see you there!
