Celebrate the Passing of Time:
Welcome the New Year

Time and change can not be stopped nor avoided. 
Here I sit in front of one of the remaining glaciers in the Colorado Rockies. How quickly time passes. Exactly twenty-four years ago, 1992, I looked out of this same vista and saw nothing but snow, now there are only remnants of the massive glacier.

Today, I prepare to invite in 2017, the Year of the Return of the Buddha Consciousness to our Earth Plane. Yes, time has marched on, and so too has evolution. May we seize the moment, and flow with the change as we nurture our  Connection to the Divine.  

According to Ayurveda, Time & Motion are said to be one of the principle causes of Dis-ease.  When we forget our True Nature and our Connection to the Divine, we are led astray via the pleasuring of the Senses. May we take time now to be mindful and re-set our intentions and connections to our Path of Service and Love. May we gain control over our senses and manage our Time in an orderly and creative way according to our Nature.

Let us reflect on these Ancient Words of Wisdom as we ponder our perception of time and motion. 

Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.
                                                                                     Buddha

The Mindfully Well Center thanks you for joining us during our 
2016 Journey of Mindfulness, Yoga, M editation, Tai Chi, Lectures and Nourishment of our Body, Mind & Soul. We appreciate the present and look forward to the unfolding of opportunities for Growth through Love & Wisdom in 2017!

Be Well my friends!
Welcome Father Time & Mother Nature as we transition to our New Year!

Wisdom of Our Elders: Honoring Their Time & Contributions

Mr. Emerson King  was 92 when he changed worlds in January. A deep science engineer, called with great earnest a week before he transitioned.  He shared his final insights on sacred geometry, then gracefully departed. 

Mr. Charles Funderburk was 74 when he departed in November. He was a compassionate scholar of political science. He departed after the great debacle of our recent election. His speciality was "The American Presidency."

Mr. James Lichtenfels was 62 when he departed in December. He was an archives technologies expert at the University. He held on to his job skills through decades of physical struggles, but his dignity and dedication kept him in a position of Service to Others.

We hold your Truths and thank you for the Time you spent on this Planet and the many Souls you touched through your Service to Humanity.
