Many Eastern traditions (Thai massage and acupuncture to name two) believe the body is filled with numerous tubes and channels (often called energy channels). Yoga is no different. The Sanskrit word ‘nadi’ actually translates as tube or flow. In Pranakriya/Kripalu yoga, we call the Nadis channels.
Some examples of tubes include your circulatory, endocrine, and respiratory systems. You might also consider your veins, arteries and capillaries Read More
Leonard: Three Keys To Personal Empowerment
By LAURA LEONARD
Doctor of Chiropractic
Los Alamos
The Cambridge Dictionary defines empowerment as “the process of gaining freedom and power to do what you want or to control what happens to you.” How then do we claim this for our lives when so many things around us are out of our control?
THINK … Let it GO!
Don’t waste energy on to things you have no control over. The world has some big problems and other people make choices or act in ways we don’t agree with. What you can control…is yourself, your thoughts and your actions. That’s not to say that bad things or people will not affect us. What it means is that Read More

Los Alamos Jewish Center News:
The Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShanah, marks the beginning of a 10-day period of self-reflection on the Jewish calendar.
Unlike the secular new year, Rosh HaShanah is observed with worship services in the synagogue and the blowing of a ram’s horn – a wake-up call to reflect behavior over the past year and strive to improve in the coming year. The ten days end with the solemn holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when Jews traditionally Read More

This coming Friday, Aug. 26, will mark the end of the Los Alamos Summer Concert Series for 2022. Summer is quickly coming to a close. For the past few months, each Friday I’ve been setting up Saint Job’s little mobile chapel at the pond for the concerts. I think we’ve only missed two.
At the beginning of each evening, I light the first candle and the incense and then I stand nearby, waiting for the curious or distressed. So many children and teens are interested. This is something new, something old, something Read More

Fr. Glenn: Love vs. Guilt
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
A surreptitious conjunction of private readings came about recently that brought the contrast of guilt and love to the fore. A favorite little devotional of short daily reflections is entitled “Thoughts from the Diary of a Desperate Man” by Protestant author Walter Henrichsen, who writes from the perspective of one who had earlier in life suffered what most of us have suffered—the inescapable feeling that there must be something “more”, exacerbated by his enduring some of the worst earthly pain imaginable—loss of a child. In an excerpt, he speaks of the guilt arising from Read More
Home Country: Don’t Feed The Wild Animals!
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Packing people into the back country doesn’t sound really exciting, I know. And if it gets exciting, it’s undoubtedly because something went wrong. But we did have occasional chuckles during those eight summers.
I stopped off at the backcountry ranger’s tent near Bullfrog Lake, in Kings Canyon National Park. He mostly checked fire permits and had a fun summer. He told me to get off my horse and, in the tent, … NOW, to see what he had.
He said no matter how many times they told campers not to feed the wild animals, there was always someone with a hearing problem. On the western Read More
