Gift of the Week

Purifying Smudge Kit - Our Purifying Smudge Kit with Burden Stones can be used to send old energy on its way. To use, light the sage bundle and then blow it out. The smoke from the sage is then used to drive out or transform unwanted energy in a room. The Abalone shell is used to catch any ashes from the burning sage. Use the Burden Stones by holding them in your hand while smudging to collect any troubling thoughts from your mind.

Notes from a Planet (CD) - Can planets speak? They can and do constantly, but perhaps only a very few of us know the language - running water, chirping birds, frogs and insects, the gentle rustle of wind through the willows. German New Age composer Deuter probably comes as close as anyone finding the music in this mysterious language. Notes from a Planet is an example of his prowess with a field recording kit and his ear for the beauty in a running stream or field of singing crickets.

Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life (book) -
Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight-loss program with good intentions but cannot stay on track. Neither the countless fad diets, nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss helps us feel better or lose weight. With Savor, world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard nutritionist Dr. Lilian Cheung show us how to end our struggles with weight once and for all. Savor teaches us how to easily adopt the practice of mindfulness and integrate it into eating, exercise, and all facets of our daily life, so that being conscious and present becomes a core part of our being.
