THE ROAD TO SELF DISCOVERY IS THE BEST DISCOVERY!
Saturday, June 27th & Sunday, June 28th This two day practical workshop will unleash OUR inner potential and help US discover OUR true existence through a series of lectures with unique experiments, audience interaction and Q&A. It will help us uncover some of OUR unconscious beliefs about spirituality and break free from the shackles of temporary happiness. “Discover the Powerful You” is an exercise to realize and unravel the loving and kind YOU which resides inside all of us without our knowledge. It is a rare opportunity to connect with the self and begin the journey to freedom. “When you start to listen to your inner voice, When you start to believe your inner voice, When you start to follow your inner voice, You truly discover yourself at that moment!! “ Language of the workshop will be simple English & Gujarati. More details to follow soon. For any questions or concerns, please contact: | | Wellness Challenge - Do Not Drink Soda, Diet soda Or Drinks With High Fructose Corn Syrup. | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "not drink soda, diet-soda, or drinks with high-fructose corn syrup.” A single can of soda contains the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar. This amount of sugar, especially in liquid form, skyrockets the blood sugar and causes an insulin reaction in the body. Over time, this can lead to diabetes or insulin resistance, not to mention weight gain and other health problems. Soft drink companies are the largest user of sugar in the country.
