Meditation, Yoga & Spiritual Growth Carnival – Edition #28

Welcome to the 28th edition of the Meditation, Yoga and Spiritual Growth carnival.

There were way too many submissions for this issue of the carnival (almost 70!). Unfortunately, many writers submitted more than one entry, despite my request to them not to, and many others just sent unrelated or low quality articles, hoping to get a link from Mastery of Meditation & Yoga, due to it’s high traffic and high Google Page Rank. So I had to reject quite of few of the submissions and hope writers will be more conscientious next time, but if not, there is always the delete button . Well, the final version, containing the top self improvement and spiritual growth blogs, is ready below and I hope you do enjoy some of the great articles that it does include.

I was happy though that this edition got more Yoga related articles than are normally submitted, and I hope this indicates a trend for the future as well. In addition, there is lots of great stuff on meditation, health, law of attraction, positive thinking, mind power, self improvement, happiness, diet, etc...

For my fellow active stumblers if you are interested in networking on Stumble Upon, please go ahead and reach out to me. My stumble upon id is http://anmolmehta.stumbleupon.com.

Please link back to this carnival from your Blog, as well as submit the carnival to your favorite social bookmarking sites (Stumble Upon is preferred). More link love the better for everyone :-).
