Carved riverstone reclining figure of Ganesh

Don't Worry Be Happy

Is there real truth to body language? Does our posture indicate to others the way we really feel at any given moment? Psychologists believe we throw off a storm of signals through our body movement, facial expressions, the volume of our voice and tone, hand gestures, and just about every other part of ourselves that move. If this is true and we can learn to read those signals, then arguably, our interactions with each other will be immeasurably enhanced. Yet, what happens when movement is frozen? Are the signals we emit compromised?

Ganesh is normally shown in a seated posture making this depiction unusual

This week’s New Arrival features a statue of Ganesh, the elephant headed deity known as the “remover of obstacles,” the champion of the belief that we all possess the power – like a stop and go light – to make anything move or come to a halt. Ganesh is the reminder that how we act reveals or curtails the potential in all matters. Normally, Ganesh is seated, but here he is shown reclining, fully relaxed, the warden of leisure. This Ganesh is saying “relax, we can forge a fulfilling life without stress or fear" – which is a posture worth freezing in time.
