Obaitori

"To act in the world as if it were a sanctuary is to make it reverential & sacred. What the universe becomes depends on you...treat it like a divine place & it becomes a divine place. Reverence for life & for all there is in the universe, is the first condition of ecological spirituality."

~ Henryk Skolimiwski (founder of eco-philosophy)

Tonight Indira & I attended Earth Hour at Yogaways. Earth Hour is an Australian initiative which started in 2007. It is now a global event. This year 5 million supporters in over 100 countries have (& will) turn off their lights for one hour. Ultimately the event promotes the awareness of global climate change. So, tonight in Sydney, both the Harbour Bridge & the Opera House stood in darkness.

At Yogaways we lit candles, chanted the sacred mantra om, sang 54 rounds of the Mahamrityanjaya Mantra, had a yoga nidra & drank chai. We individually sent out our prayers, hopes & dreams for our beautiful blue planet. Hope you received them, x

Welcome

Hello, my name is Katie Jane Hinshelwood. Here you will find a little bit of my story; our family’s journey on the spiritual path. I have a deep yearning of understanding & nurturing the spiritual development of the family.I facilitate a spiritual mother's group called Obaitori. It is an all embracing collective of women who support each other in 'sharing the struggle' belonging together and not living in 'isolated perfection'.

I hope to share a ray of yogic light on spiritual mothering & caretaking of children. I am also a learner and earnestly seek your opinion and want to ask what works for you?

I live with my two children, partner Dazla & our cat, Yogi.

I am an aspirant, searching deep within, to uncover true peace, Love & joy. I'm also known as Yogachakra, my spiritual name, given by my blessed sri guru Swami Niranjan Saraswati.

I’m really happy you are here. Please feel free to wander around & have a look.

You are very welcome.

Inspiration

Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you. ~ Sheng-yen ~
Simplify your life, purify your heart. Slay egoism & pride, cultivate cosmic LOVE, practise SELF DISCIPLINE. Serve ALL. LOVE ALL. Hear, reflect, meditate. Enquire & know YOURSELF. Live the Eternal. There is only one language the language of the heart. There is only one law, the law of cause & effect. There is only one religion the religion of LOVE. ~ Swami Sivananda Saraswati ~
