In a workshop that Host Chris Kann participated in with Mind Body Spirit Living radio guest Sara Rae Lancaster, she created this collage to represent the four-word phrase that came to her in meditation during the class: “Acknowledge Who You Are”.
The collage captures the love in her life, her search for Zen, and the desire to know Self more deeply (through the mirrors).
While making the collage, Chris mentioned to the person sitting next to her that it would be great to have some pictures of mirrors so that she could represent the self-reflection that she felt was needed in the piece. The next magazine she picked up had a feature story on different styles of mirrors for home decor!
Try this kind of collaging yourself to see what your reflection of Self might look like…..

We just finished “Mind Month” and we’ll take time this week to continue a series of discussions featured on our show about balancing spirit and business life. This is a question that Host Chris Kann gets asked frequently……and for many people, this can be a challenge. So we look to those who are doing is successfully for their insights in guidance.
Our guest this week is Dimple Navratil, a successful business woman who owns Dimples Fine Imports on Racine, WI. Dimple grew up in Bombay, India and relocated to her current home after getting married. Dimple imports items from locations that constitute a virtual tour of Asia, including India, Indonesia, Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as Africa and Guatemala. But the key to her business is the jewelry featured in the store, which is made by Dimple’s family members, who are silversmiths in India. Dimple makes two or three trips a year to India, both for visiting and to buy goods that can be sold here.
Dimple is also an active community volunteer, wife and mother. How does she balance her spiritual and business lives? Tune into this fascinating discussion to find out!
