The 9 emotions and the 6 steps of their evolution

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:06:00 +0000

Coming to terms with where our emotional body is really at through self-contemplation is a window for inner self acceptance. When we embrace self acceptance we can then flourish with a new possibility of emotional and creative evolution.

About the emotional body

The emotional body is located within the earth bodies (physical, etheric, emotional and mental.) The earth bodies are perishable, impermanent and in constant decay. The emotional body has a plasma-like texture (plasma is a state of matter. Here, it is a gelatinous or gas-like body.) It has a strong ability to fluctuate and gives passion and intensity.

This body is located between 2 and 4 inches from your physical body. It is connected with your third chakra and the water element. It is also connected to the nine emotions.

Your nine emotions are the palette and color of your personality. They give you physical sensations (for example, as sadness makes you cry) and they are under the influence of your gunas (the qualities of the elements.)

The palette of the 9 emotions

In the Vedanta tradition the 9 emotions and their subcategories are:

Sanskrit	Principal Meaning	Further Meanings and Related Emotions
Shingara Hasya Adbhuta Shanta Raudra Veerya Karuna Bhayanaka Vibhatsa	Love Joy Wonder Calmness Anger Courage Sadness Fear Disgust	Beauty, Aesthetic sentiment, Devotion Humor, Laughter, Sarcasm Curiosity, Astonishment, Mystery Peace, Relaxation, Rest Violence, Irritation, Stress Heroism, Determination, Confidence Compassion, Pity, Sympathy Terror, Anxiety, Nervousness, Worry Depression, Dissatisfaction, Self-Pity

When an emotion is present for some time, its energy affects the body and mind in such a way that one of the members of its family of emotions is manifested.

What is a personal position

When we acknowledge that the emotional body is not an isolated part of us, but a complex plasmatic part of matter, that is impacted by its environment, its relationships, its food, its breath and thoughts, we are then ready to look into the personal choices we make in front of those aspects. The emotional body has a master that directs, make choices and acts. The quality, management and choices of the inner master is what I call personal position. Personal positions can be conscious or unconscious.

Positions in the emotional body

In this part of our studies we will contemplate the 6 consecutives stages of the emotional body, their impacts and consequences. Your creations are strongly impacted by the condition and quality of your emotional body. The condition affects not only how we may compose a poem, but also our relationships and all of the dynamics of our life.

Commotion

The most raw position we can take is the commotion. We are in commotion when we are reactive to life and to our own choices. We avoid taking responsibility for the fact that it is we who are the creator of our own experiences. We look for outside gratification, we look for approval and we seek constant outside attention. In this stage of development the emotional body is like a child of 4 or 5 year old. It wants gratification and when it is not received by others, it takes a position of blame and resorts to staging angry reactive tantrums. In reaction, the emotional body is not able to assess facts, and looses objectivity. There is pain because one feels hopeless and powerless. Commotion is an avoidance to real raw emotion. In commotion we avoid the real pain. This unnecessary agitation serves as an escape from acknowledgement and acceptance of the deeper more authentic, but perhaps uncomfortable, emotions. Commotion can be a stance not only towards uncomfortable but also pleasant emotions. For example, I have seen students stuck in the “I am good, everything is ok” mode, however that attitude is also an avoidance towards life’s challenges and choices.

When we are in commotion we perceive the world as an attack. We defend our positions, and our opinions are the one and only truth. In this state things are right only if they are in agreement with our own needs.

The consequence of commotion on the earth bodies is exhaustion, especially on the nervous system. We lose vitality and altitude, our perception gets stuck in one or two points of view (cyclic thoughts) and we thus use limited tools in our handling of life. Because it lacks the power that comes with having self-responsibility, commotion destroys the possibility of real personal advancement.

Emotion

When a person enters into this stage of the emotion, it reveals signs of authenticity, honesty and acknowledgment of their pain. The stock emotion reveals itself and it is experienced as a release. This stage can be difficult, however if supported with sadhana and self-commitment, it is a quick transition that unlocks personal emotional potentials: passion.

Passion

Passion is a flirt with life. You see possibilities to engage with life, you see you can make a genuine impact on yourself and your choices are proactive. You may feel you want to learn new things, travel, change relationships or begin something new. Passion is regenerative, however not always consistent. In the stage of passion you want changes, you want to explore, you want to see “what can I do” to change the world or myself. This level of self-responsibility increases your own responses and maintains relationships with people, hoping to expand and learn the outcome of your potentials.

Dispassion

In a state of dispassion you declare yourself as the creator of your life experiences. You declare emotional autonomy. You gain discernment, you know the facts, and then other people’s opinions are of little importance. You stop being a victim of other people’s commotions, emotions or passions. A certain clarity and stillness arrives. The inner master acquires certain distance from the outside world and, like an eagle flying high in the sky, gains an overview of reality. In dispassion you are able to be neutral, you embrace self-respect and respect for life, meaning that your level of intervention is not tinted with a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. You feel content, removed and sovereign in your inner kingdom. Your 9 emotions became more subtle and relaxed, allowing the pure juice of the heart to come forward: compassion.

Compassion

Compassion is the conquering of duality in the heart. Your life, the life of others and the life of life itself is seen as one. Differences disappear, boundaries dissolve, and the perception that one’s action impacts the whole and the whole impacts the self, is revealed.

In compassion, serving others with no personal gain is an exercise. In compassion the 9 emotions serve your grace, your sainthood and give you unshakable commitment.

Devotion

In devotion you perceive the self as inseparable from creation, from the creator and from creativity. Your divine nature is established in your earth bodies. You emanate the being within you. Silence is established and is unshakable. You disappear and your interest in taking care of all parts of you is a joy. You are aware that you are the temple, the devoted and the devotee at the same time. You see all of the stages of human development and life as a process, not as an objective. In devotion your inner temple is uncorrupted by any cycle of other people or life. Your presence contains the purity of existence and the unspeakable essence of the whole.

Getting into the Vortex

Thank you Carolyn Taylor for forward this beautiful message.

Your sophisticated physical body exists because of the intelligence of your cells. And the intelligence of your cells exists because of their Connection to Source Energy.

When doctors and scientists try to find cures for diseases without taking into consideration the Vibrational relationship between the physical Being and Source Energy, they are looking for cures in all the wrong places. If the resistance that disallowed the Well-Being to begin with is not released, it will show up in the form of another and another disease.

Your cells, because of their connection to the intelligence of Source Energy, know exactly what to do in order to become the incredible variety of functioning cells in your magnificent physical body. And in the absence of the hindrance that is caused by your resistant negative thought, that communication stays open to clear, up-to-the-moment interaction, keeping your physical body at peak and perfect performance.

In the absence of negative emotion—and therefore the allowance of complete alignment and communication with Source Energy—your physical body can reclaim its balance and recover from any imbalance. And once balance has resumed, it is easy to maintain with consistently good-feeling thoughts.

candida: tips to healed it.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:04:00 +0000

By Rachel Freeman.

This article contains information and opinions of the writer, which do not necessarily reflect those of Bhuvaneswari teachings. Any advise accepted is solely the responsibility of the reader.

My relationship with candida overgrowth started in third year university.

The salad days of my youth were coming to an end. Life was good, and I was generally healthy.

However, I didn’t feel healthy. I was always tired, and seemed to always be fighting off a cold or a flu. I had constant sugar cravings. I would sometimes get a weird dry pastiness in my mouth. Something was off.

I had my family doctor run tests, but when the results came in, she would always reassure me that there was nothing was wrong with me. I saw another doctor, who told me the same. It was as if my symptoms were too subtle to be diagnosed by their tests.

Certain that “health” did not feel this way, I started to do my own research. It was at this time that I began to awaken to the world of natural healing.

What is Candida Overgrowth?

Candida Albicans is a form of yeast that lives in the digestive tract (as well as on our skin and in a woman’s vagina). The presence of candida albicans is normal, when it exists in balance with other favourable intestinal microorganisms. However, when this delicate balance is disrupted, it can lead to the overgrowth of the candida albicans yeast.

You may be familiar with probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, which help us to get more nutrients out of the food we eat. Candida albicans actually has the opposite effect in the digestive tract, inhibiting the proper assimilation of nutrients and releasing toxic by-products into the body.

An overgrowth of this yeast weakens the immune and endocrine systems, inhibiting its ability to respond to viruses or other harmful substances which naturally occur in our environments. Often, an over-presence of yeast can lead to a hyper-allergic state, where the body recognizes everything foreign as dangerous.

Systemic candidasis is when the yeast spreads beyond the digestive tract into other organs of the body. When this yeast is allowed to thrive, it can wreak havoc on your overall system.

Symptoms of Candida

The symptoms of high levels of candida growth may include:

food allergies or environmental sensitivities; or, a hyper-allergic state;
frequent colds or general low immunity;
chronic fatigue; mental sluggishness or confusion;
digestive disorders, including abdominal bloating, acid reflux, chronic constipation and fat intolerance;
skin eruptions, including acne, rashes, and recurrent fungal infections (ie. athlete’s foot)
severe PMS
recurring headaches or migraines;
loss of sex drive; chronic vaginitis, prostatis or anal itching;
cravings for sweets or yeasted breads;
anxiety; panic; depression; insomnia; irritability; mood swings;

The Causes of Systemic Candida

a high-sugar, acid-forming, low-mineral diet.
anti-biotics, which kill off favourable micro-organisms in the digestive tract (both prescription and in our food sources)
birth control pills or other prescription drugs
overuse of raw foods, foods that are too sweet or salty, alcoholic beverages or other intoxicants, yeasted breads, etc.
stress, anxiety and worry

environmental toxins, including chemical exposure (ie. chlorine)
general weakened immune system
sexual interactions with an infected partner

Candida Cleanse Tips

1. If this is your first candida cleanse, the help of a nutritionist or natural health practitioner is recommended.

2. Follow the principles of proper food combining. Eat simple meals (few ingredients) and allow at least 3 hours between meals. Eat fresh foods, and as much as possible, avoid microwaved foods and leftovers (over 24 hrs) !

3. Eliminate all yeast-feeding foods for at least 6 weeks, or whenever conditions are exacerbated. This includes:

all sweeteners (sugar, agave, maple syrup, honey, etc) except stevia
alcohol
dairy
all fruit (some can tolerate small amounts of berries or pomegranate)
all yeast, flour products and grains. Millet, quinoa and amaranth are exceptions. Small amounts of rice may be tolerated.
starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, yams and squash and nightshades (eggplant and peppers)
foods that are difficult to digest, such as nuts, seeds, avocados, oils and other fatty foods are best avoided or used sparingly.
restrict salt intake.

4. Meals should aim for a balance of 70% vegetables with 30% grain.

5. Avoid overeating. This is especially difficult with candida, as the yeast often triggers cravings for more.

6. Colon cleansing: colonic irrigation and/or enema treatments are very important, if not essential.

7. Oxygen therapy can also be helpful and pleasant, especially in winter months. learn more about this therapy.

8. For women, vaginal douching (either with apple cider vinegar or with tea tree oil) can be helpful in restoring the acidic conditions in the vagina, especially after intercourse or during a healing reaction. Acidophillus inserts are also available in some natural health food stores. To deal with vaginitis or persistent jock itch, apply sesame oil with a few drops of tea tree oil to irritated skin.

9. Go to bed on an empty stomach (at least 3 hours after your last meal).

Anti-Candida Diet : Foods to Favour

Choose foods that are alkalanizing, rather than acidic.

Start the day off right. When you wake up, drink a tall glasses of warm or room temperature water, and follow with a cup of hot water with freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice. Allow at least 30 minutes before having breakfast.
Non-starchy vegetables: asparagus, zucchini, beets, carrots, dandelion greens, rapini, leeks, kale, endives, fennel. Lightly cooked sprouts are also great, especially alfalfa (avoid mung sprouts). It’s helpful to have 1 cup of leafy greens/day, either steamed or sauteed in ghee and ginger.

Millet, quinoa and amaranth. It is best to soak these grains for a few hours before cooking.

Cooked mung beans (detoxifying) and azuki beans (dry dampness)

Oils: cold pressed organic olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil and ghee are good.

Pau d’arco tea - Bring 1 L of water to a boil, add 3 tbsp of the herb and simmer for 20 minutes. The tea does not have a strong flavour so you can mix it with other herbs, such as mint or cinnamon. Burdock tea is also helpful.

Chlorophyll and micro-algae: spirulina, wheatgrass, chlorella, blue-green algae, etc.

On salad, choose lemon or lime juice with a good quality olive oil. Herbs or a little salt can be added, to taste.

Homemade vegetable soups

Chia, sunflower, flax and pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight.

Ocean vegetables (such as wakame, dulse, nori, etc), rinsed and soaked -- great for thyroid and immune system.

Fermented foods, such as miso and tempeh or homemade kefir, can be eaten 1-2 times per week if symptoms are not severe.

1/2 tsp of baking soda ( aluminum-free) in water (for reducing stomach acidity), taken 1 hour before and/or 3 hours after meals for 3 days. (Some online recipes recommend mixing the baking soda with maple syrup -- not as delicious as it sounds but can be experimented with)

Homemade raw cultured vegetables (for rebuilding intestinal flora when candida is less acute) : shred 1 cabbage, 1 head of kale and 3 carrots into a food processor. Add 1 tsp of dried dill seeds and soaked dulse. Take 1 cup of this mixture and blend with ½ cup of filtered water. Jar and let sit for 3-7 days at room temperature. Refrigerate. Enjoy a few tablespoons every day, either on a salad or on its own.

Herbs and spices include cayenne, ginger, turmeric, fennel, basil, clove, cinnamon, coriander, dill and oregano.

Take a good quality daily pro-biotic. Digestive enzymes are also helpful.

Experiment! Rebuilding intestinal health requires a great deal of patience. Finding foods that nourish you and taste good is essential to your good health.

How to release inner anger.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:00:00 +0000

This exercise needs to be done for 40 consecutive days.

Select a place where you can go every day and safely release for 11 minutes.

First stage

Put a thick mat on the floor, lay down on your back in a comfortable position and take 3 natural long deep breaths. Repose. Connect with your body and then start hitting vigorously the floor with your whole body. All parts of your body need to make a strong connection with the floor. It is like a child having a tantrum but in a contained way. Hit the floor for 8 minutes. Let it go, be loose. Them turn over and do the same on your tummy for 3 full minutes. After 11 minutes repose.

Second stage

Turn your body toward the right and do 3 long natural breaths. Sit up in meditation pose and start Sitali breath. (inhale thought the poked tongue and exhale trough your nose) let the system to cool down. Do the breath for 3 minutes. Relax and meditate for another 5 minutes.

Recommendations

Allow any emotions to flow through you, do not stop, do not negotiate, and do not get dramatic. Also, taking Turmeric healing paste for the 11 days can complement these exercises.

Inflamation, inner anger and the bioenergetic impact

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:58:00 +0000

If you understand and recognize in yourself inner anger as a passive current of resentment in your life, as an attitude of blame, a victim or just simply and inner discontent toward others or yourself, you may be entrapped in inner anger.

Inner anger dwells in the memory of our cells, and it is triggered by new challenges. Inner anger is subtle because it is produced in a subtle way. An act that you may consider innocent, like waking up in the morning, taking time to plan your day with the things you like to do, but as soon as you step out of bed you do something else, is a set up for inner anger. This inner betrayal creates inner confusion, inner resentment, and inner distrust.

We spend a lot of time unaware of this constant betrayal of the present moment. We refuse to dance with the spontaneous law of life and we adopt a frame of mind that spoils the creative potential of life.

It is not about doing what we think we need to do in the morning, it is about allowing the natural forces of nature to flow through us in a conscious and compassionate way.

The resistance to ally your self with nature creates inner discontent, inner injustice, and inner isolation.

At the cellular level, it is experienced as a “punch in the natural pulsation of life”. As we punch over and over, inflammation and restlessness arise, as does a constant attitude of being on guard.

It is interesting to observe how scientist have studied the process of oxidation, which is the responsible for cellular damage, inflation and decay. Oxidation occurs when one cell “loses” it electron and “borrows” one from another cell. This process that we have accepted as natural and which causes aging, does not need to be natural. This process is a result of an inner attitude. Each cell has a commander, a queen and a king that takes care of its perpetual evolution. That commander is your presence, your neutrality, and your compassion.

Each cell does not need to die. Each cell in a mystic way has the opportunity to be light, vibrate light and become light. Our habit of inner abandonment (mostly by locating our self out of the present moment) is responsible for deep resentment and is an impediment of our cellular evolution.

Each cell is like a child loaded with cosmic intelligence, they know that they can expand far, and learn and become, but each cell is currently, at the current point human evolution, a victim of limitation and bad nourishment.

Inner anger is not a small thing, it is not just an emotion, it is a consequence of our ignorance in front of our cellular potential.

The further away you are from obeying the natural you, the more inner anger accumulates in your organs, and the more you suffer from inflammation.

Inner anger is genetically transmitted. At the moment of conception all the evolutionary information of earth and matter is transferred into the new cell’s life, including the cell’s limitations and potentials.

Every time you don’t speak your truth, or respond with integrity to the requests of life, you are signing up for accumulating more inner anger.

Every time you perceive yourself as being smaller that your life, you are at risk to store more inner anger.

Every time you envy, blame or put yourself in a powerless position you create inner anger.

Every time you let others manipulate your convictions or submit you integrity to an outer or inner circumstance, you are creating inner anger.

Every time you twist, accommodate or rationalize your creativity, your sexuality and your sensuality, you create inner anger.

Every time you are not in your body, but in the land of expectations and perfection, you are accumulating inner anger.

From the bioenergetic point of view, I hold inner anger and self-subdivision responsible for the presence of oxidation in our cells. Oxidation creates tissue inflation; inflammation is conducive to illness, decay and death.

I also hold you responsible for your inner evolution by your personal choice to release inner anger. Your efforts work on the whole; your effort is a conscious responsibility, and contribution to human evolution.

11 days healing with turmeric.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:55:00 +0000

In the Hindu tradition, turmeric has being offered to the divine in different ceremonial rites as part of a demonstration of gratitude and grace. You can do the same thing in your own kitchen and also by choosing to use turmeric as a healing agent in your life.

You can use this therapy to address physical conditions as well as to solidify yourself as a divine identity.

Procedure:

Purchase 1000 grams of organic turmeric preferable coming from Alleppey India.

Purchase 500 grams of organic local honey.

Roast ½ cup of turmeric until it releases an earthly aroma. Let it cool. Add 4 tsp. of honey or enough to form a think paste. During the day consume bit by bit the whole cup of turmeric and honey. Repeat the same for 11 days. You can prepare the 11 cups at once; I however recommend preparing it one day at a time so the preparation becomes a part of your healing.

For Kapha dosha add 1 tsp of ginger to the daily cup.

Turmeric: the divine golden king to health and unity.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:53:00 +0000

Turmeric is one of the main spices in Satya blends. All doshas can benefit from the wonders of this rhizome. Turmeric grows in tropical climates, and is harvested annually.

Turmeric is originally from southern Asia, where it was domesticated and used prominently for both medicinal and religious purposes. Turmeric is no longer found in a wild state, but it is believed to have been developed from the continual selection and cultivation of wild curcuma.

If you have the chance to buy fresh turmeric, usually available in oriental stores, you will see its familiarly with the ginger root.
You are probably most familiar with turmeric powder’s bright yellow color, its distinctive earthly aroma, and its surprisingly sharp, bitter and spicy lingering flavor.

I love the versatility of turmeric; just one pinch in rice or in a stew gives the food an appetizing and rich golden glow. But turmeric is not only about its colorful presence, now scientists are looking at curcumin (the main ingredient of turmeric) as a potential cure for illnesses that are a consequence of internal inflammation.

Turmeric is a powerful healer, curcumin is rich in antioxidants and has anti- inflammatory properties that have been shown to protect and improve the health of virtually every organ in the body.

Today, around the world there are human and animal studies that put turmeric effective to combat more that 72 illness, including cancer, heart diseases, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

I was surprised to know that studies in the university of Texas by Dr. Aggarwal have identified turmeric as a painkiller and anti-inflammatory.

Although this spice is only right now under a scientific scrutiny, healers in China and India have been using turmeric for more that 2000 years to treat a range of illness.

For example ancient healers have used turmeric for:

· An antacid to soothe digestive problems

· A decongestant to clear nasal passages.

· A stimulant to improve blood flow problems

· An analgesic to relieve headache (cur cumin is an ingredient in Tylenol)

· A powder to speed the healing and to prevent infections of wounds.

What really is wonderful about turmeric is that you don’t need to be sick to use it. By taking a daily dose of turmeric in your food you are actually preventing degenerative illness.

Turmeric has the ability to:

· Inhibit the activation of genes that trigger cancer.

· Inhibit the spread of tumor cells.

· Inhibit the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell.

· Kills cells that mutate into cancer

· Shrink tumor cells

· Prevent the development of the blood supply necessary for cancer cells to form and spread.

· Eases inflammation (That are a result of arthritis and some heart conditions)

Turmeric can be used as well as a beauty product and as aid for skin ailments.

As a healer, turmeric is recommended to be taken on a daily bases. You can use 500 mg for general health and in larger quantities in health crisis’s.

Most turmeric comes from India and most Indian turmeric comes from Alleppey or Madras. When you are shopping for turmeric, favor the Alleppey turmeric, which has twice cur cumin that the one cultivated in Madras.

I have heard from a Punjab Yogi that turmeric should be roasted before consumption.

I truly hope that this information inspires you to see turmeric not only as a component in Indian curries, but also knowing its health benefits should help you take the initiative to add turmeric to your daily cooking.

Bioenergeticaly speaking, turmeric bends the laws of logic. Being a root, with such intense orange color and earthy flavor, you may deduct turmeric would be used as a support for the first or second chakra. Turmeric however is dedicated to serve us in a different way. Meditating and dieting with turmeric has allowed me to experience its spiritual properties.

Turmeric specifically works on the 7^th chakra, and facilitates the evolution of issues of self-upgrading, divine protection and self-reassurance. Self-upgrading is the ability to recognize your self as part of a divinity; a god or goddess decorated with floating particles of gold who knows his or her own majestic presence.

Turmeric has an everlasting presence. It permeates all aspects of the self; it helps us to remember that we are part of a divine structure and by recognizing that, we acquire protection, dignity and royalty.

Turmeric is able to ground that wisdom, and to facilitate for us the manifestation of that divine royalty. The energy of turmeric announces it presence in almost anything that he is contact with, and remains so for a long period of time.

Turmeric is a divine grounder. I must take the time here to make a distinction between other grounders that works in the first chakra like licorice or fennel. Turmeric has the ability to facilitate the subtle wisdom of “I am part of the divine” with “The earth is my divine playground.” Turmeric bonds earth and sky, and qualifies you as a god and it simultaneously challenges any mind distortions that oppose that truth. I am referring here to self-degradation, self- condemnation or the denial of your inner divinity.

The Psychiatrist & The Proctologist

Best friends graduated from medical school at the same time and decided that, in spite of two different specialties, they would open a practice together to share office space and personnel.

Dr. Smith was the psychiatrist and Dr. Jones was the proctologist; they put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors". The town council was livid and insisted they change it.

So, the docs changed it to read: "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids". This was also not acceptable, so they again changed the sign. "Catatonics and High Colonics" - No go. Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives" - thumbs down again.. Then came "Minds and Behinds" - still no good. Another attempt resulted in "Lost Souls and Butt Holes" - unacceptable again! So they tried "Analysis and Anal Cysts" - not a chance. "Nuts and Butts" - no way. "Freaks and Cheeks" - still no good. "Loons and Moons" - forget it. Almost at their wit's end, the docs finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones - Specializing in Odds and Ends". Everyone loved it.

How to Pray: a healing practice

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:37:00 +0000

There is a beautiful ancient tradition to assist our healing and growth, and bring fulfillment to our life through these prayers.

We need time, commitment and sincerity in this task. We will surely be challenged, upgraded and given the space to see our fundamentals more clearly.

The realization that the core of your being is your soul, the realization that you were born and you will die, and during that time you will pay karma, learn lessons and seek to be better, the realization that you were born with talents and unique gifts that you need to honor, the realization that your past is a key to your future, that any moment you have lived fully form a background for your next step, and that a clear and aware path creates fulfillment in your life.

These realizations, supported by your prayers, are steps towards honoring different cycles and aspects of your divine self.

Method:

1.- Choose one prayer.

2.- Repeat it eleven times a day in front of a mirror.

3.- Do that for 40 days.

4.- The first day: dedicated to your conception.

5.- Day two: dedicated to your womb experience.

6.- Day three: dedicated to your first breath.

7.- Day four: dedicated to your first year.

8.- Day five: dedicated to your second year ( second birthday).

9.- Day six onward: dedicated to each year until your current age.

10.- Add a few years.

11.- Add a few decades (until you reach 100).

This can be a profound experience. Avoid being emotional or dramatic, however. If your eyes start seeing lights in the mirror, it is a readjusting of your nerves.

Modifications of this method can be 11 minutes a day, one minute for each body for 40 days.

Note:

Please do not modify the prayers or the method of the meditation. This practice is taken directly from the scriptures and the way it was given should be respected.

Prayer to the expander

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:36:00 +0000

The divine expander

The expander, the one that knows what is divine and can access divinity in any prayer. It is a deep security in oneself, because you realize you are a son or daughter of a caring, loving and compassionate god. You can supply that sense of security and expansion to others, and you are confident in your social interactions.

If you are not in touch with that divine part of you, you feel insecure and look for external ways to achieve that security or that expansion. You have a hard time nourishing yourself as a divine being--to know what you need in order to feel safe and relaxed.

Prayer to the expander

Listening to the sound of the infinite

within myself, and everywhere,

brings me all knowledge,

mastery over life,

peace and happiness.

Listening to this sound of the unknown,

I am victorious over my weaknesses.

Listening to the sound of my true identity,

I clear my mind and body of all disease

and past karma.

Listening in deep devotion,

I am always in bliss and present.

I create my relationships and my environments through my words and deeds.

Obeying the voice of my true identity,

I speak and act from that place.

I attract all that comes to me,

whether I judge it good or bad, right or wrong, deserved or undeserved.

I am the being who creates and attracts.

My light attracts darkness,

which challenges the strength

of my true identity.

My true identity is the very prana of life,

from this place I create good and

bless all.

I reflect the true identity of all people

through my blessings.

Prayer to the protector

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:34:00 +0000

The divine protector

You have the ability to protect your life force, your center. You can discern information, you can identify yourself and your life with truth. You can connect and obey your higher purpose and divinity. You can connect to people and events. You move softly with grace, and have the valor to face any difficulty.

When we don’t connect to that part of ourselves we suffer from disconnection, we compare ourselves to others and use all our energy to fail in our relationships. We feel inept and fearful.

Prayer to the protector

I meditate on my true identity,

and all the actions of the day are

covered by the infinite.

I listen to that presence

everywhere, filled with love.

All richness lies within me

due to the infinite’s

presence within me.

I identify my life as true

and all life as true.

I listen to the thought in

myself that I am the truth.

When I listen to my mind

and it says anything

less than that, I know that that voice is

not my true nature speaking.

It is my negative mind challenging myself.

I listen to myself and others

speak from the place of

my true identity,

and I learn what is true

and what is false.

I always project from my

true identity to experience

divine protection.

Prayer to the I am

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:33:00 +0000

The divine seed

You have an infinite seed that is carried from life to life. It is your most innate power and strength. It is untouchable and indestructible. You have an inner light that can achieve anything you decide to do or manifest. That natural creative intellect of yours is expressive and expansive, unique to you like your fingerprints. If you have neglected this part of you, you easily get depressed and have a sense of no-self. Others easily influence you: you get pessimistic, weak and cannot commit. You have a hard time being in your skin in a relaxed and natural way. You start thinking and thinking over everything and over everybody. Slowly this attitude will isolate you.

Prayer to the I am

My true identity is

the One creator

who lives in all creation.

My mind cannot conceive of,

nor experience its

infinite expanse.

It is by the order of the infinite

that I have my particular

destiny.

I experience my true nature:

I am the prana

I am part

of everyone and

everyone

is part of me.

Therefore I am kind to all.

Not being kind to all hurts myself.

When I am compassionate to

all,

I experience

kindness for myself and

I experience the deepest

essence of myself

as the giver of life.

This is the first step to

Happiness.

Prayer: A Human gift

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:28:00 +0000

The misconception of prayers

How many times have I heard, “I don’t know how to pray?” What should I say?

How is this really done?

It is sad to see a man or a woman without the realization that their thoughts, intentions and actions are the actual living prayers to their own life, to their own destiny.

The misconception of seeing a god outside of us has lead us to the position of a beggar, a position of inferiority, fear and guilt. How far can we get from that divine force that preserves with immense care the justice, peace and harmony of our existence? How unfair we can get when our narrow mind sees the prayer as a religious rite instead of a humble self-responsibility of our inner capacities?

Any one can be grateful and graceful

At any time we can stop for a moment and contemplate our daily routine not as a battle of survival, nor as a competition with time and people, but as an abundant resource of plentitude, inspiration and love. We have the ability to generate a juicy perspective in our minds that will nourish every cell of our body with love, harmony and health. Prayer keeps you wealthy, keeps you inspired, positive and fulfilled, with an attitude of cooperation and enthusiasm.

We can also deliver our ideas, opinions and inspirations to others in a way that is neutral, involving instead of excluding, receptive instead of defensive, or creative instead of destructive. This position is a prayer to life, a prayer of respect and honor.

We are a prayer

The perfection of our existence - it does not matter how futile, painful or meaningless we think it is - it is still a creation of the creator. We unfortunately cannot comprehend the details of our learning process, and adopt the bad habit of judging. However, if we are able to accept and surrender in front of our preferences and aversions, we enter naturally into a state of constant prayer of gratitude towards our life, towards our body, towards our experiences and towards all of the moments we fulfill with noble intentions.

Activating your inner resources through prayer

We are created as a holographic representation of the universe. The divine play has a trinity of energies: the energy of creation, the energy of preservation and the energy of destruction. Their interplay moves all of the dynamics of all existing beings, in all realms and in all dimensions. We are made as a perfect image of the whole, with similar capacities, virtues and sensibilities.

Through the purity of your intentions, concentration and innocent meditation, these three properties of the universe become available to you, to serve you so you may serve others.

We are the whole universe

Once we realize that we contain all of the forces of the universe, we start developing a sense of honoring and wondering about ourselves and our lives. Until we realize the immensity that lies within ourselves, we will maintain a narrow perception of our potentials and possibilities. We will tend to minimize our creativity, and ultimately follow a flat way of living.

I would like to invite you to develop the humble habit of connecting and praying to various aspects of yourself. Here are some examples you may want to adopt.

Our Birth in Unity/Abwoon d'bwashmaya

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:09:00 +0000

The below translation of The Lord's Prayer from Aramaic to English is taken from the book, Prayers of the Cosmos by Neil Douglas-Klotz.

I remember going to Niagara falls with my friend kristina for long 10 to 15 days retreat with sufi masters. We did that for 10 years, during the retreats, many mystic body prayers were practiced. The original version of the lord's prayers was without doughs the one that resonate the most with me.
The prayers were danced in Aramaic, the original language that Jesus spoke.

Here is the English translation by Neill Douglas. King James V version: Our Father which art in heaven

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos,
you create all that moves
in light.
O Thou! The Breathing Life of all,
Creator of the Shimmering Sound that
touches us.

Respiration of all worlds,
we hear you breathing--in and out--
in silence.

Source of Sound: in the roar and the whisper,
in the breeze and the whirlwind, we
hear your Name.

Radiant One: You shine within us,
outside us--even darkness shines--when
we remember.

Name of names, our small identity
unravels in you, you give it back
as a lesson.

Wordless Action, Silent Potency--
where ears and eyes awaken, there
heaven comes.

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos!

The power and purpose of Ceremony

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 16:35:00 +0000

By Matthew Cosgrove

    Ceremony is the greatest form of gift giving we humans possess.
Their power is in the intent we charge them with. A true prayer from the
heart echoes through all layers of creation, from the underworld of the
earth and our unconscious, to the conscious physical and to the upper
world of spirit.

    It can be a beacon for those who are lost and adrift. A true prayer from
the heart has a rippling effect, triggering healing and sending out a
homing signal for ourselves and for all whom it touches.

    Prayer does not mean to ask a God somewhere outside of ourselves
to grant us what we want. It does no good anyway to project our ego
needs onto a God that does not really exist because no one is there listening.
God is the creative life force, the interplay between the positive and negative,
male and female, the friction between the upper world and underworld creating
all that is, or the middle world. So praying to this life force is as absurd as going
under electrical power lines and asking them to grant us what we desire.

    We already are this life force and prayer and ceremony are a way of
generating and entering it’s current. In electrical lines there are always two wires,
one is live and the other to ground. Touching only one of these two wires at a
time we will feel no current, but if we touch them both at once we become a conduit.
We become a conduit when are the balance between positive and negative,
male and female and earth and sky. This meeting place and place of balance is heart.
Cultivating gratitude, reverence and humility we are heart, we transcend the ego and
remember our place in creation, providing balance and respecting the order life.

kale chips

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 16:31:00 +0000

Kale is rich in vitamin A, K, and C, but that does not make kale the super food that it is. Kale is also the green to enrich the minerals in your blood. It contains magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc and iron.
Minerals are good for all of us, but especially for our air constitution, Vatta.
Eat kale cooked, boiled or as a snack in the form of chips.

I personally recommend this snack for Kaphas.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of kale (the more rippled the better)
1-2 tbs of ghee
Salt to taste

Preparation:

Remove the stems running through the middle of the leaves (otherwise your chips will be chewy rather than crispy.)
Cut into large pieces and place separately on a cookie sheet.
Melt the ghee and lightly brush onto the kale. Add salt to taste.

Bake in the oven at 250 degrees for approximately 25 minutes, or until kale is crispy

Prayer to pacify man tempers: So purk

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 22:56:00 +0000

One time in India, no far away, was a very holy man, a saint full of compassion, sweetness and devotion. His name was Nanak. Guru Nanak was loved by many, especially women who enjoyed sitting with him long hours and listening to his captivating songs of divine love.

When the woman returned home, they found their husband no happy or interested in more mundane matters. The group of woman devotees requested from Nanak what they can do to alleviate their husband’s tempers. Nanak, in full understanding of the difference between the man and the woman, and the gift that woman have to influence their creation, went for a 10 days retreat.

When Guru Nanak came back from his retreat, he came back with this prayer: So purk.

He indicated to do this prayer eleven times in one day, at different times. He say this prayer will balance the psyche of any man. As a wife, mother, daughter, or sister, you can use it.

I have done this prayer not only for one day but for 1000 days. I dedicated this prayer to my children when they were passing through the discomforts of teen age.

Now, 6 years later, I have faith that this contribution had made me a compassionate and patient mother. The prayer transformed me, and not sure if it was because of my own changes that my boys grow very saintly, calm and patient, but it is surely a jewel from the Sikh tradition to any woman.

Enjoy it.

SO PURK

I know that I am One with God. This is my true Guru’s Gift.

The Primal One is perfectly pure. The Primal God is perfect. He is within all and beyond all.

Everyone meditates. All souls meditate on You, O True Creator.

All souls are one with You. All souls come from You.

O Saints, meditate on God and all pains will fly away.

God Himself is the Master. God Himself is the Servant. O Nanak, everyone is empty-handed before Him.

You are in each beat of my heart, and in all hearts. O Lord, you are the One in everyone.

Some are givers and some are takers. This is all Your play.

You are the Giver and You are the receiver. It is all You.

You are the God of all; endless and Infinite. I have no words to describe your virtues.

O Lord, Nanak is a sacrifice unto those who serve and serve You forever.

Meditate on God. Meditate on God and your soul will be at peace in this world.

Meditate on God and live free. Live free and know the noose of death is meaningless.

Meditate on the fearless One, the fearless God, and live free from fear.

Those who serve, O those who serve my Lord, are one with Har and they look divine. Blessed, O blessed are they who meditate on Har. Servant Nanak is a sacrifice to them. Devotion to You, O devotion to You is a treasure trove that ever overflows.

Your lovers, O Your lovers praise You, my Beloved, forever and ever.

For You, just for You O Lord, so many poojas are performed and so many endlessly chant and discipline themselves.

For You, just for You O Lord, so many read the Smirtis and Shastras. They do Kriyas and ceremonies.

Those lovers, those lovers are sublime, O servant Nanak, who are pleasing to God.

You are the Primal One, the most awesome Creator of everything. There is none as great as You.

Throughout time and beyond time, You are the One, constant and True Creator.

You do everything, and may everything happen according to your Will.

You create the whole universe. You destroy it and create it again.

Servant Nanak sings the praises of his beloved Lord forever and ever.

He is the Knower within all souls.

SIOUX PRAYER to do BEFORE MEALS

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:05:00 +0000

I’m an Indian.
I think about the common things like this pot.
The bubbling water comes from the rain cloud.
It represents the sky.
The fire comes from the sun,
Which warms us all, men, animals, trees.
The meat stands for the four-legged creatures,
Our animal brothers,
Who gave themselves so that we should live.
The steam is living breath.
It was water, now it goes up to the sky,
Becomes a cloud again.
These things are sacred.
Looking at that pot full of good soup,
I am thinking how, in this simple manner,
The Great Spirit takes care of me.

Prayer and Beauty

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:56:00 +0000

Contribution from face to grace
facetograce.com

Someone once said that prayer is when we talk to God and meditation is when we listen to Him/Her. It seems that recently my prayers are mostly about gratefulness for the flow in my life despite the chaos of moving and my computer’s demise. Friends and family answered my calls for help when the movers didn’t show up and was soon blessed with visitors of all ages to my new place.

Fifteen days after having moved to Wakefield, I am sitting in the living room, looking outside on pine trees splashed by sunshine and enjoying the mild temperature. A friend came this morning and was excited to point out the wild carrots growing along the steps that lead from the road to the appartment. What a joy to see growth still expressing itself this late in the season.

It is truly in flowing with life’s pace instead of pushing it that we can fully observe the beauty around us and benefit from it. And then the questions come? What is the beauty of the wild carrot? How can we merge it’s beauty with ours?

As I researching on the web, I learn quite a bit about the healing properties of this plant also called Queen Anne’s Lace. Such an elegant plant in the summer, that adopts a more humble appearance in the fall as it looks much with the domestic carrot we all know. Though much smaller, it is as fragrant but more subtle. I harvested one and chopped the leaves and root finely and put it in my salad for lunch.

Carrot oil, extracted from the seed, is great for dry and chapped skin and helps make it softer, smoother, firmer. It is a beautiful oil, translucent orange. As a Pitta oil, it is somewhat warming. However, it is not meant to be used by itself. I love to use it in some of my moisturizers, but it can simply be diluted with almond, sesame or coconut oil to massage babies and all members of the family. Simply use 1 teaspoon in 10ml to 125ml of the carrier oil. For anyone above 2 years old, you can add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice (eg. orange and vetiver). You will feel both grounded and uplifted.

On days like today, I just feel like singing Alleluiah for the beauty that surrounds us and is available to remind us of our own beauty.

How to introduce prayer to children

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:24:00 +0000

Contribution from Anamda Sly

www.clubyoga.ca

Children naturally love to do Bhakti yoga that is so easily incorporated into children’s yoga. They express devotion in a simple and natural way, free of the ego. The purpose of this yoga is to merge with Divine Love, internally and externally.

Bhakti yoga uses deities such as Shiva, Vishnu or masters such as Krishna or Buddha or the image of a teacher who represents divine Love and inspiration. Some of the devotional practices include Kirtan – mantras and Japa – devotional songs. Children respond naturally to new songs, chants and rituals and learn new words and absorb the benefit of the mantra quickly.

Mantra – manas – mind and trai – to free from. It means to free from the mind. These high vibration Sanskrit words connect us to the universe, our infinite self. These healing sounds balance the mind, body and spirit and clear subtle impurities from the body as well as improving concentration and creative thinking. Each mantra has it owns quality, rhythm and effect and directs the mind into a high vibratory frequency. They vibrate with the Nad (sound of God) to experience the infinite within the finite. This is a form of mantra yoga.

Bhakti yoga heals the heart and emotions that help all children who carry some hurt of not being understood or heard in this material and stressful world. It brings family together in a natural way. Just 3 minutes of chanting a mantra brings balance and joy.

Children come from different cultural and religious backgrounds, yet Bhakti yoga is a universal way of showing devotion to the elements of nature, people, pets and toys that they love. Devotional yoga classes are soft and uplifting to children. Children love the magical quality of deities, gurus and teachers. They often walk away from a class chanting a mantra and will recite them on the way home, at home or walking with a friend.

One very easy mantra for children to learn is – “Healthy am I, Happy am I, Holy am I.” It is very uplifting for children to do adding hand movements. After all, children are born happy. The rhythm of this chant uplifts and changes the mood of children. Mantras also are soothing and relax the brain and calm the mind.

Another mantra that is also used as a meditation is “God and me, me and God are One.”

It shows the child that we are not separate from the divine and that we are all one, interconnected. This brings a sense of belonging and an open heart to care about others. The child learns to think in terms of “We” not “I.”

Children can show their respect and devotion for the food they eat. They can offer an apple, sitting in their palms to another child who is their partner in yoga. They also love to use candles, flowers and other materials that are commonly used for devotional rituals.

A devotional Kirtan chant that children love is “Guru, Guru, Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru.” Guru Ram Das was the fourth Sikh Guru of Love and Compassion. It is a mantra of humility, relaxation, self-healing and emotional relief. Here is how to pronounce the mantra: Guroo Guroo Wha-hay Guroo Guroo Ram Das Guroo. This mantra can be incorporated with the offering of the apple.

Posture: Have your child sit in easy pose with hands in Gyan Mudra. They close their eyes and focus on point between the eyebrows and then repeat the mantra for three minutes in a monotone or sing along with a musical version. Your children will love having you join them! Doing this mantra for 3 minutes for 40 days will have wonderful effects for the whole family.

pick of peru feb 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:13:00 +0000

Dear One:

Even though I speak the Spanish language, ate peruvian food and walked the land of Peru before, I must admit that this time the sacred journey to Peru left me with the unexpected colorful richness and flavor imparted through connecting with this vibrant and elevating inca land .

On the surface, our group of 15 people could have been seen as just another group of tourists visiting and doing the normal things tourist do .Yes we had fun visiting but our main intention was to be bathed by the sacredness of the Andes, and our intent played out like something orquestrated by the divine.

Each movement I did, each face I saw, each place I stayed, each meal I took, each souvenir I bought was experienced with an almost tai-chi like flow of perfection.

It was not until we arrived to machupichu that I realized that my body, and the bodies of the group were being filled up with tiny codes of light. Each code or figurine was attached to another code forming a tapestry of color and texture similar to the ones we encounter in the peruvian textiles.

As time progressed the codes requested inner space and acceptance from our part, at the same time a profound peace and understanding of the times which are to come landed in my awareness.
The group and I were experiencing physical changes in different ways, with the changes came a shift in our frequencies that was beautifully supported by nature, and by the inka priests and healers of that land.

The transmutation was surely at the cellular level, leaving in myself a naked awareness that in this moment of time the Andes of Peru are holding a living energy that is a treasure ready to support the consciousness of the new world.
I am shy to share this information since words do no justice to the deeply felt profound understanding that the journey there pierced into my awareness . I do however feel an energetic ability to relay knowledge through meditation or other forms of non verbal transmitions.

I am grateful for all the years of inner practice and self inquiry, so I can come home and take the time for my body to assimilate and translate into my daily life the frequencies that I had received.

After a few weeks in Peru I flew to Colombia, my mother land. The tropical climate and atmosphere charged with colors and history, the sand and the water, the warmth of the people and family offered a different type of inner food. I realized how fortunate we are here in Canada, with so much space, silence and wealth.
As I witnessed people with so little , yet so happy to share a simple conversation with us, I realized that beauty and good fortune are indeed in the eye of the beholder .

As I write this note I still feel the sacred pilgrimage unfolding within myself with it's mysterious wonders, it's unknown possibilities of transformation and an endless fountain of peace and gratitude.

I hold in my heart an intimate closeness to the group I traveled with and to the people that hosted us with such care. I was fortunate to stay in Cuzco with Virginia in the "Casa de la serenidad", she surely has the spirit of the mother ready to supply the most minuscule details that assure our safety and comfort.

I am also grateful to have the opportunity to come home and see my life showered with new perspectives, possibilities and vitality. I surely, one more time place my trust in the profound changes that the yearly pilgrimage provides.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy ,

This is the milky way depicted by the inkas, you can see the frog, the llama, the wolf as part of their cosmology.

We are walking in the healing terrace of the inkas in Machupichu, more close to the heavens it can not be.

We performed a "call" ceremony to the masters of Ascention in Machupichu
