Wholeness - Wellness

Wellness is . . . an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. — National Wellness Institute

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote:
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.


What are our best ideas? What inspires us? What are our mental models? What patterns, concepts, forms, and frameworks support well-being for everyone? What mental models focus on building the good, rather than fighting the bad? What increases the light?
Current theory and research suggests that intellectual, emotional and social processes and personal growth are inextricably linked. This means that health and wellness are connected to learning.
If one imagines each aspect as a spoke on a wheel, Wellness helps a person extend the physical, social, occupational, and intellectual aspects out as far as they can be developed and practiced. Therefore, a wellness mindset seeks to grow in each dimension, not just one, so that the wheel rolls smoothly."

Welcome to the MOP Media Blog

MOP Media was started in 2006 by two friends, Darrin Fossella (aka Liquid Acrobat) and Shelley Kohli. Our purpose is both to educate and to encourage people to STOP take a deep breath and look within. Surround yourself with our core values - Greeness, Positiveness & Wellness. We are MOP Heads. A Mind Of Peace. Our design style is a mix of 60s Psychedelic Poster Art, Warhol Pop Art and 70s Retro Funk. MOP designs have power, wisdom and healing vibes associated with them. We use them as "secret" guides to help remind us to love more, spread joy and kindness, recycle, eat healthier, walk softly, meditate, uplift and unite.

Knowing that each person's inner spirit is unique, we have filled the MOP Media store with designs from many different wellness, ecological and spiritual traditions. All the products are hand crafted by MOP, thus becoming unique one-off items. From the initial design concept, through multiple digital renders and then professionally hand pressing the image onto various products, a MOP product is a true piece of original hand crafted artwork. Buy MOP and activate your well-being.

We are big fans of the environment so we try our best to conserve energy and recycle as much as possible. We make every effort to utilize materials and processes that minimize the impact that we have on the planet. No contribution is too small.

By educating ourselves and making conscious choices about what we consume, we can join a worldwide movement towards a safer, cleaner, and healthier world. By purchasing organic cotton products you can be a part of this movement, make a positive statement about what you wear and at the same time reduce your environmental impact on our planet.
