LOVERS OF THE LIGHT There is an entire culture surrounding a spiritual lifestyle and The Voice of ASTARA has been launched to consciously celebrate that lifestyle. In our pages, you’ll find information, resources, inspirations and products that are all designed to help you live a life dedicated to “Living in the Light.” Now, more than ever, a meaningful and purposeful lifestyle is commanding center stage in our communities, cities, homes and nations. These are not the woo-woo days of past, where thinking and living ‘outside the box’ was discouraged. A life of wellness and spiritual growth is becoming a more accepted, integrated, healthy and elevated way of living: based on science and research, practicality, sustainability and ethics.

From the food you eat, to your meditation practice, the way you breath and the products you purchase- infusing your life with a knowledge of an energy that interpenetrates us all, reveals purposeful living and how your lifestyle reflects those elements that are most meaningful. Based on Astara teachings; “That to explore oneself is the most important journey an individual can take”- The Voice of ASTARA is here to help you along the way.

Enjoy with Love and Light!

B E N E F I T S O F R O S E WA T E R AND SAFFRON USED FOR CENTURIES AND RE-INVENTED FOR TODAY H2rOse is a specialty beverage uniquely made of rose water, saffron and other natural ingredients. Rose water was initially created exclusively for royalty. As time passed, rose water became a healthy beverage used by an increasing number of people around the world. The scent of rose water is beautiful and offers a number of scientifically proven therapeutic benefits. It has also been used for centuries in cuisine and in skin care as the ultimate fountain of youth.

In ancient Egypt, Cleopatra, who was considered the most beautiful woman, was one of the biggest fans of the healing and beautifying qualities of rosewater.

Rosewater helps to enhance your mood and improve your skin complexion while the infusion of saffron helps to ease digestion and curb appetite. The combination of both of these distinct ingredients and the refreshing taste of H2rOse provides you with a beautiful beverage that will allow you to reap the benefits of beauty and health from within.

YOU’RE A REAL

G E

M According to Seneca- “A gem cannot be polished without frication nor man perfected without trials.”-Grinding, sanding, drilling, tumbling, hammering, and polishing are terms used in the gem refining process but can’t we all relate those gritty terms to the day-to-day of life as well, especially if one is on the spiritual path? The trials and tribulations are necessary to refine the coarseness of the average, in order to attain the polish of the enlightened. Astara’s teachings are ornamented with precious gems throughout and the connection is perfectly reflected in the following excerpt: “Precious gems, being the highest developed expression of the mineral kingdom, often posses extraordinary magnetism. They can be employed by their owners as focal points for inflowing pranic forces. Since they are the most highly developed bodies of the mineral kingdom, they are also capable of absorbing enormous charges of mental reflecting ether.” Astara’s Book of Life Third Degree.

Below are the major gens of Astara and their accompanying levels of spiritual refinement. So you see, as a student of Astara, You Really Are A Gem! - The gold Crux Astara with the green emerald in its heart is the symbol of the Second Initiation and can only be worn by those who have obtained it. (Third Degree Forward) - The Ruby Cross the symbol of the Third Degree. Wear it not pridefully or with piety, but with honor and quiet humility. 3:22 - The Amethyst Cross “Hail Seeker of the Amethyst Cross” 5: 1 :20.

S A L UTAT I O N TO T H E S U N “SURYA NAMASKAR” Astara has advocated for the practice of yoga as a method to integrate physical mental and spiritual practices. Earlyne Chaney practiced Surya Namaskar because it is easy to incorporate (15-20 min) into a daily, busy schedule. Here we outline the basic steps of the Sun Salutation which ideally, should be practiced at sunrise where the sun’s rays are most beneficial for safe absorption and the cosmic ethers are flowing from East to West. The Sixth Degree Lesson outlines the benefits to each of the organ systems and touts the Sun Salutation as the most complete yogic asanas. Here, Instagram Yoga Instructor Carly Ackerman illustrates the asanas:

1. PRAYER POSE (PRANAMASANA): Feet and palms together, closed eyes and relaxed face. Face the sun and exhale. You’re becoming one with the light.

2. BACK BEND POSE: Swing arms upward in standing position bringing your arms overhead. Arch your spine and swing head backwards with palms facing upward.

3. FORWARD FOLD POSE(PADAHASTASANA): Bring feet together and bend forward placing palms of hand on floor with in front or on each side of feet. Breathe deeply.

4. LUNGE POSE (ASHWA SANCHALANASANA): Inhale. Bend Forward. Slide right leg backwards bending the left knee.

Fingers or palms on the floor. Spine straight. Breathe deeply.

5. DOWNWARD DOG: Keep fingers or palms firmly in place, raise right knee and stretch the left leg backward alongside the right leg. Lower your head and straighten the spine. Hold the position for as long as you can.

6. PLANK POSE (BHUJANGASAN): Lower your torso to plank. Lower hips until you are lying flat on the floor, shift hands slightly raise your head and entire upper torso, raising your head and chest. Arch your spine and head back as far as comfortable.

The last positions are repetitions of the first five postures. This alternation allows both sides of the body to be equally stimulated. #CARLY_ELIZABETH Click here to follow along with Carly.
