Chanting mantra is a beautiful way to connect with the experience of Falling in love… finding your bliss, shining your light, and sharing your love. Join us to co-create this energy and experience chanting the names and sacred sounds of the Divine as a reminder and embodiment of what is around and flows through each and every one of us.

When we allow ourselves to be fully present, we open our hearts and minds to notice the moments when other beings come alive and appreciate their light, gifts, beauty and talent. We fall in love and find moments of bliss.

We can also fall in love with ourselves enough to affirm our own light in a way that allows us to be generous in giving our gifts in this lifetime, our compassion and kindness to each other.

When we find our bliss in the energy of love and light, we can find gratitude for all the gifts and the challenges, the light and shadow, that shapes us into the resilient, compassionate, extraordinary beings we all are evolving into in each moment.

Let’s keep expanding our practice and capacity to shine our light and share our love in the world.

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
- lyric from Nat King Cole song, Nature Boy

Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion. Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith. Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander. Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others. Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping sessions.

Here's the long version of the description of the dharma this kirtan is formed around along with it's long title: I thought I would share it here as a dharma talk which will be expanded on at the event with more readings, talking, and sharing mantras and mudras to heighten our experience. Thich Nhat Hanh has been a huge influence and the teachings of Buddhism a great balm and support in my life. Lots of it including his quotes, teachings, and practices shared at the event if you're interested...Join us!

Falling in Love. Finding your Bliss. Shining your Light. Sharing Your Love.
Fall is a beautiful season. I love the color of the leaves. Watching them as they fall, I know each one is playing an important part in the cycle of life. Raking them into piles to compost, I know each will eventually manifest into a new creation, another evolution and embodiment of the beauty in nature.
We have a chance everyday to fall in love with what and who is around us. Our pets, the butterflies, the artful shapes of the clouds in the sky sending us messages that we can take into our being; our family, friends, loved ones, neighbors and even strangers. It is not too far. We can all get there.
We have the ability to find a sense of joy in these gifts of beauty and energy around us, our yoga or meditation practice, weeding the garden, feeling the soil in your hands when you plant garlic bulbs for next year. Dancing, singing, roller skating. Have you done any of these things lately? Noticed you were finding your bliss?
When we allow ourselves to be fully present, to open our hearts and minds and notice the moments when we see others come alive and appreciate their light, gifts and talent; they are as beautiful as the flowers, the colors of the fall leaves, and the clouds making shapes, art, and inspiration in the sky. They are igniting joy just like the soft silky dog by your side, the warm blanket and cup of tea, and the sweet cats snuggling together in their bed across the room.
Can we see that, just like them, we have that same light of our own unique gifts and a way of being in the world that to us is like breathing but to others is a sustaining, uplifting and meaningful presence?
Chanting mantra is one way, a beautiful way, to connect with this experience of falling in Love, finding your Bliss, receiving others’ and shining your Light. To feel the energy of living each day and each moment more fully, to fall in love with what and who is right in front of you right now (in this moment), something beautiful and light either in a moment of joy or especially in a moment of difficulty to get you through the rough spot. And as we see that beauty and light around us in nature, in others, our pets, we feel the bliss of life, deeply connected to God, nature, the collective, the magic of life and this lifetime. We fall in love again and again and have gratitude for all the gifts and the challenges that shaped us into the resilient, compassionate, extraordinary being we all are evolving into in each moment.
Mantra does this for me in a deep and connected way and I hope it does for you too that you might join us to co-create this energy of falling in love, feeling our bliss, shining our light and sharing our love as we chant the names and sacred sounds of the Divine as a reminder and embodiment of what is around us and flows through each and every one of us.
We can fall in love with ourselves and each other enough to affirm our own and each other’s light in a way that allows us to be generous in our giving our gifts in this lifetime, our compassion and kindness to each other. I hope you will join us in this practice to expand our practice and capacity to shine our light and share our love with the world.

Remember “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
- lyric from Nat King Cole’s Nature Boy.
