“Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast limitless circle. We stand in the centre of our own circle,
and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life.”
Pema Chodron

The Mandala Book Club is now inactive however I will still share yoga books and podcasts that inspire me here on this page.

One of the five Niyamas in Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga is Svadhyaya, self study or education of the self. Reading sacred and inspirational books can be part of your daily practice of yoga.

Please feel free to watch the recordings of book discussions from our previous book club online gatherings.

Try Metta (loving-kindness) Meditation. 🌿 

Close your eyes or soften your gaze,
Notice your breathe, the inhale and exhale,
Silently affirm to yourself;

πŸ’— May I be happy.
πŸ’— May I be healthy
πŸ’— May I be safe
πŸ’— May I be at ease.

Then, extend the same wishes to loved ones, strangers, and even those you find difficult.

This simple practice nurtures compassion, softens the heart, and builds a sense of connection with the world. ✨
