Re-design of our website
First on the list, we have an all-new website! Did you get a chance to see it? It is amazingly beautiful and still a work in progress, and so much more helpful than the old (very old!) website I made! We were fortunate to have our good friend Michael from Austria help us do all that! Well, in actuality he did it all on his own, and we just let him do his thing.
So, the new website is becoming now more Google friendly and we are seeing a rise up in our SEO! This is amazing! So thankful for that!
We had a drop in our appearances on searches of prayerwheels so we are now back in the game, slowly going up the search back to the top. We are starting to see some results of that action in our prayerwheel orders coming in so we are back in the game! Thank you Michael!!

Prayerwheels going all over this world
Last week we had the privilege to ship our prayerwheels all over the world! We had prayerwheels going to Australia, Vietnam, Finland, France, USA and Norway! Our goal is being fulfilled! The goal is to help H.E. Garchen Rinpoches's wish ❤️ to spread prayerwheels all over this world, spinning for the benefit of all beings! One action, none selfish, for the benefit of others… wow.
We are SO fortunate to be able to do what we do, and all of that is ALL thanks to all of you out there, wishing to spin prayerwheels, come across our website and purchase a prayerwheel… wow… we have no words to thank all of you for what you have done! You all are amazing!
Just got an email from a dear customer who just received the prayerwheels we shipped and wrote such a hart warming email!
Wow… left me speechless and a little blushy….

What about your prayerwheel experience?
And that popped a thought into my mind stream: "What if the lot of you out there, our dear amazing customers of our prayerwheels took a photo of yourself and the prayer wheel at hand, on the desk or on your neck or have someone take your photo with your prayer wheel, send it to us via email with a few words on how (if at all) your prayerwheel helped you, changed something in your life?
What is YOUR experience with the prayerwheel?
I think that by sharing your own reflections it would help others who are new to prayerwheel practice and might take away some of the fears or issues they might have concerning prayerwheel spinning!
What do you all think? Is this something you would be willing to do?
If so, we can change the Testimonial webpage on our website to have not just words, but a visual aid of yourselves and your prayerwheels. This might be very helpful 🙏 for prayerwheels of the future! Just a thought.
If any of you out there love that and wish to help us further prayerwheels into this realm, this is our email:
Feel free to send your photo and some words we would love to see you and hear from you!

Asking for forgiveness of the people you have done wrong?
This month is the Jewish people's holiday month. There are a few working days in this month in Israel, it is mostly holidays off and weekends one after the other… we had little time to craft our prayerwheel orders but we did our very best to spend as much time here in the studio.
One of these holidays is Yom Kippur meaning (in Hebrew Yom = day / Kippur = atonement) which is basically a Vajrasattva day of the Jewish folk where one would take 24 hours of fasting, no food, no water, no "doing of anything" and just sitting and reflecting all the bad deeds one has done onto others and repent, ask for forgiveness of the people you have done wrong… all in all? It is a beautiful practice, never did I ever join in.

My father was a Holocaust survivor, so there was not much love to the Jewish God who allowed such horrors to occur in his mind and all the wars that happened at the birth of Israel where my father was a young man coming out of WWII into Israel that just became a country and then fight in all the early wars, having many of his friends die in battle, only to hear the religious Jews say:
"It was thanks to our prayers, not your bullets, that ended the war. We prayed to God, he won us the war. It was not because of your fighting with your weapons…."My dad could not handle such words and the Jewish faith was a no no for him and that is how I grew up near him.
For me there was never the chance to look at it my way… only now, at the age of 52 I got to do this for the first time. For me, this was an opportunity to repent all the harm I have done so far in life and let me tell you, 52 years of being alive? I wronged A LOT of people!!! The list was long! It took me many hours of sitting in reflection to go over all my life and think of all the wrong I have done… wow… it was a lot of wrong….
I joined in this year for the first time because of a doctor who told Ayelet something that made a lot of sense to me. He told her that even if she does not believe in the Jewish faith, follow any of its rules, still, in Israel for that one day in the year, millions of people are fasting, repenting all the wrong doing, thinking of others and the wrong done to them, and a general day of silent reflection of
Bad and good
Love and hate
Kindness and
Forgiveness
You can ride that wave!
There is a mystical energy that day… you can join in! You don't have to fast, you don't have to do any of these things, just pay attention that this energy is all around you and tap in. If you wish, you may fast too. That would only upgrade your own experience. So, I listened to him and decided to go for it this year.
And so, I did.
It was amazing!
We should all do this at least once a month! Why once a year? But that is just me… hahahahaha!
Many more good things are happening and some will ripen very soon! But for now I think I rambled enough so may you all be kind to one another, remember all mind is one, this life is short, we all die, we take nothing.
Make the most of this day, your life, this world… all of it!
It ends so quickly…
Micha
(and Ayelet of course)
