More words of wisdom collected by Diana’s mother, Patricia. Hanukkah Celebrated sundown Dec.10 through sundown Dec.18th.... Hanukkah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime Festival of Lights, celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and foods. It commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah. The miracle of Hanukkah is that only one vial of oil was found with just enough oil to illuminate the Temple lamp for one day, and yet it lasted for eight full days. Words of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, 12/18/1980 It is a timely and reassuring message, for the forces of darkness are ever present....Our sages said, ‘A little light expels a lot of darkness.’ The Hanukkah Lights remind us that illumination begins at home, within oneself and one’s family, by increasing and intensifying the light of the Torah. Though it begins at home, it does not stop there. Such is the nature of light that when one kindles a light for one’s own benefit, it benefits also all who are in the vicinity. Indeed, the Hanukkah Lights are expressly meant to illuminate the ‘outside,’ symbolically alluding to the duty to bring light also to those who, for one reason or another, still walk in darkness Let us pray that the message of these lights will illuminate the everyday life of everyone personally, and of the society at large, for a brighter life. Blessing from my heart to your heart, and in this wondrous season may you know the joy of giving and receiving.

And excerpt from our weekly Thursday series The Journey Inward with Diana Christinson Symptoms of Inner Peace By Saskia Davis ( 1984)... A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment A loss of interest in judging other people A loss of interest in judging self A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others A loss of interest in conflict A loss of the ability to worry (This is a very serious symptom) Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature Frequent attacks of smiling (through your eyes and from your heart) An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen An increased susceptibility to love extended by others, as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

Dear Shala Friends, As we say goodbye to 2020 I reflect on a year of challenge, growth and possibility. This is the time of the year to embrace moving from darkness to light representing our hopes and dreams of the next chapter. The celebrations of Hanukkah, Advent and Christmas move us into a new year. We flip the calendar page, and look forward to 2021 with hope and possibility.... This past week, I have spent time in refection, reviewing this unique year, my life, our shala and community. We closed the doors during the past year but we opened our light and lived our Shala without walls. We zoomed classes and pulled friends energetically together into a sacred time and space we call practice, community, shala. The blessings were many: Zoom brought students together form all over the country and world. I was able to visit and hang out in your homes, meet your children, spouses, doggies, kitties and bunnies. I watched and cheered for baby Henry as he learned to roll over, crawl and dance. We prayed for our sweet Hayden, celebrated and cried when he was able to come home from the hospital. We came together in meditation and prayer sharing the power of Mtta with family and friends. Our daily 'Spread Hope' videos reached beyond the Shala walls and kept us all practicing not only yoga but optimism and possibility. I am truly honored to be the tribal leader of Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala. The best part of this challenging year has been our love which brought us all closer together and reminded us of what is most important. The shala continues to inspire and shine because of the love and support each of you have given me, our Shala home and community. The Medicine is love (Mtta) and our community is abundant and RICH with love. I thank each of you for being part of US the lightening bug tree Shala family. We are the lightening bug tree, the shala with and without walls. Let's celebrate our light and lift up prayers of gratitude together for all our blessings. May this new year bring us more unexpected happiness, radical grace and hope. Blessings to you during this sacred, joyful season. Love & blessing, Diana #pacificashtanga

Thursday Study Series The Journey Inward: What Do You Want? We will be using the entire month of December to prepare for January 1st, 2021. Diana poses the question: What do you want? ... We will take this time to go within and find clarity about what we want to bring into our life and what is important to us as we step into a new year. Diana will help you unfold your answer and set a vision... goal... path for 2021. Before looking forward, we will pause to look back on the storm of 2020 and how we shifted in response time and again. We start with a foundation to reflect on and build off of as we set beautiful goals for the coming year. Each week, we will study a different kosha and Diana will guide you through the process of setting a vision for yourself AND creating the map to get you there. What do I want? How will I get there? How will I navigate my path? You will receive Study & Homework videos (4-week series on your Vision for 2021) for $25!

Even though the body appears to be material, it is not. In the deeper reality, your body is a field of energy, transformation and intelligence. ~ Deepak Chopra... If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. ~ Nikola Tesia What are your Energetic goals for 2021? Where are there kinks (krinks - Diana’s new word) in your garden hose? Look at the different areas of your life that you would like to create more flow and energy. What is your destination energetically for 2021? Set vision/intentions for your next chapters and adventures. Plan your course.

An excerpt from Diana’s mother Patricia’s weekly letter filled with inspiring words of wisdom Sunday Musings: Feast of St. Nicholas... Celebrated on December 6th, Saint Nicholas was a Greek Bishop of Myra in the fourth century. Nicholas was born to wealthy parents who died in an epidemic while he was still young. A devout Christian, he gave his inheritance to the poor and needy, gaining a reputation for secret gift-giving. Children leave their shoes out in the hopes to find small gifts in their shoes on the morning of December 6th. The spirit of St. Nicholas Eve and day is focused on giving over receiving, remembering those less fortunate. I recall back In Michigan City every year on the Feast of St. Nicholas a donor was a secret Santa, leaving a gold Krugerrand in the salvation army kettle...So many stories and opportunities to give and to share. Blessing from my heart to your heart, and in this wondrous season may you know the joy of giving and receiving.

An excerpt from Patricia’s Sunday Morning Musings Gaudete Sunday, Dec. 13th 3rd Sunday of Advent, known as the Sunday of Joy.... A few years, Pope Francis shared these words on Gaudete Sunday, Instead of fretting about ‘all they still haven’t’ done to prepare for Christmas, people should ‘think of all the good things life has given you.’ On this Sunday, priests wear rose colored vestments and the rose colored candle is lit in the advent wreath. In my convent days, on the 3rd Sunday of Advent, the sisters made rose colored popcorn balls - big, messy, sticky, sweet, and gooey. Fun to make, fun to eat! Your dentist might not agree, but ‘tis the season for sweet treats.
