Yoga - The Union of Body, Mind and Spirit
The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit and originated in India thousands of years ago. Hatha Yoga, which is the most popular outside India, is dedicated to creating union between body, mind and spirit though phisical and meditative practices. Its objective is to assist the practitioner in using their breath and body to foster an awareness of themselves, creating balance so as to live in harmony, peace (in mind and body) and good health with the greater whole.
The foundations of Raja Yoga philosophy were written down in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. This sacred text describes the inner workings of the mind and provides a blueprint for controlling its restlessness so as to enjoying lasting peace. Although the philosophy of yoga can be traced to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, there are many elements that have been brought into both Islam and Christianity. Undoubtedly, the world has universally adopted yoga asanas (postures) as a effective form of exercise.

Mantra - Words that Inspire Transformation
Mantras can excite the emotions and give suggestions to the mind. The word mantra comes from the Sanskrit "mantrana", which means advice or suggestion. Mantras originated in the Vedic tradtion of India, later becoming an essential part of the Hindu tradition. Today, the use of mantras is widespread within various spiritual movements as well as motivational uses.
In a sense, every word is a mantra. The power of words in our daily life are the beginings to every action or inaction. They can inspire us as well as bore us, cause change, or limit change. Each mantra or word suggests to the mind the meanings inherent in it, and the mind responds either consciously or unconsciously. In yoga and meditation, mantras stabilize and focus ourselves inward, helping us transcend our current state of being.
What's Your Mantra?
For thousands of years, people have been writing their mantras on scrolls, prayer wheels, prayer flags, stones (mani) and on themselves. They carry a powerful message - the beliefs that lead them to the life that they desire.
Use the mantras you place within your Mantra Keepsake Jewelry as a guide back to the path that leads to your personal harmony in this world. As you write your mantra, visualize your desires in great detail. If you like, you can roll up a small photo, a quote or a prayer to put inside too, whatever brings you comfort or inspiration. Read your mantra regularly as you watch your outer life shift to mirror the new beliefs that you now carry. You and the words you choose can transform your life into what you desire. What messages are you carrying?
