NEW YORBA LINDA LIBRARY AND CULTURAL ARTS CENTER In October 2020 we said goodbye to the old and well-loved Yorba Linda Library. The new 45,000 square foot library on Lakeview Avenue is fully built and has all the books and resources! Soon there will be recreation and community arts programs in the new theater, arts and dance studios, and events on the outdoor lawn. At the time of this publication they are offering concierge-style "Grab & Go" book pickup, and as soon as public health is restored the library anticipates opening for in-person visits.

YOU NEED SOMETHING MORE. If you took a yoga class and struggled to keep up with the pace, or felt exhausted or restless, there’s nothing wrong with you. Yoga is for everybody, but only the right healing space with an experienced teacher is how to experience the yoga that is right for you. Think of yoga like a big umbrella that covers the body, mind, breath, and energy: when it works, you stay comfortable. When yoga is taught appropriately your mind and body should feel calm, and with the appropriate energy to handle

Although many people treat yoga as a physical fitness

program, it can also be experienced as a gentle therapy

that points to a deeper inquiry of the true nature of reality. Yoga was initially intended to be taught one-to-one, from teacher to student, with respect for the student’s needs and abilities. At Full Circle Yoga we custom-design a gentle yoga sequence that meets your needs and goals and evolves with you as your needs change.

MEDITATION. Meditation arises naturally out of a mind cleared of distraction. The job of a skilled yoga teacher is to introduce and reinforce skills of breathing, posture, imagery, and mantra (sound and vibration). With these necessary skills, the student can establish mental steadiness and relaxation in any situation.

A breath-centered approach to yoga relaxes the nervous system and strengthens the mind-body connection.

Reiki releases, charges up, and balances the human energy system.

ENERGY BALANCING. Reiki (ray-kee) is hands-on healing by a Reiki Master to relieve stress and pain and is a perfect introduction to meditation for people with restless minds. Reiki can even resolve issues where other methods have failed, often in just one or two sessions. Many people also report feelings of renewed spiritual connection. Another form of energy balancing is qi gong (chi-gung), a slow rhythmic movement based in martial arts, which is soothing for the nervous system and is easy to do. CONTINUED >

NATURE HAS A WAY OF SUPPORTING THE BODY’S IMMUNE RESPONSE. Compounds in elderberries decrease cell proteins that trigger an inflammatory response and increase protein (by up to ten times the normal amount) that spur the production of an infection-fighting response. Research studies show that elderberries may inhibit a virus’s ability to penetrate healthy cells that line the inside of the nose and throat – our body’s first defense against the flu virus.†Although you can buy elderberry syrup from most health food stores, it is quite pricey… especially when consuming an ounce daily. You can make your own right at home for a fraction of the cost! Place ingredients in a saucepan and soak overnight. In the same saucepan, bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain off herbs using a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer to squeeze the juice out of the berries. Measure the remaining liquid (1 to 1 ½ cups). Return juice to the saucepan and heat until steaming. Mix in an amount of sugar or honey equal to the amount of juice you measured after straining and stir. Let cool and pour off into a dark blue or brown glass jar—label with the contents and date and store in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep for about three months.

in our world requires someone to be the catalyst. Someone like you.

Dr. John C. Maxwell

Leaders like you become catalysts for change when they do three things: pick a problem to address, invite others to join

people to a cause that you aren’t willing to own, especially these don’t respect it. When you pick a problem to solve or a cause to rally around, you must have conviction in order to succeed. Over the years, I’ve learned that whenever I feel a sense of conviction about an issue, I need to start moving in the direction I believe I should go, even if I’m uncertain. Action creates ownership, and ownership creates credibility with people. And you need that credibility because transformation cannot be done by one person alone—we all need people to join us on the journey. CONTINUED >

2. Invite Others to Join You When you’ve settled on the problem you want to tackle you should immediately begin looking for others to join you. In the book, Rob and I recommend starting with friends and family; you already have influence with them, and chances are you’re of like mind in many areas. Go to those family members who frequently ask you for advice or seek your opinion on personal matters, as you likely have greater influence with them. To move beyond family, however, you’ll need to take a leap of faith and begin sharing your passion for solving the problem with other people. Passion attracts, and when people come to you with interest, don’t be afraid to ask them what they think or invite them to improve your ideas. Empowering people to help you creates a bond, and once that bond is established, you will quickly discover who you can truly work with and invite them to take action with you.

3. Do What You Can Where You Are Action is the final step. It doesn’t have to be big or grand; it doesn’t even have to be guaranteed of success. Nothing happens in life until someone does something, and once you take your first step, the next step will come into focus. Remember that transformation is a process, not an event. It takes time and repeated action to bring about positive change. So focus on purpose, not perfection, and do what you know to do. These three steps may seem too simple, but I assure you they work. The goal of all transformational movements is making things better however possible. Incremental change is better than the status quo; and when you’re truly committed to making your community a better place, you know that any improvement is a significant improvement.
