马来西亚琉璃光养生世界: 接上宇宙慈悲的源头共創開心幸福的世界 - 梭巴仁波切与雷久南博士主持·@11-14 June2010

"Opening the HEART for a more Compassionate World"
- by Lama Zopa Rinpoche & Dr Lai Chiu Nan
(Simultaneous Translation Provided. )

在這苦難天災多多的時代，也是個人靈性提升突飛猛進的最佳時機，如能接上宇宙，慈悲的泉源－大慈大悲觀世音菩薩，即能與觀音和所有佛及成就者，救苦救難的願力相應。一句Om Mani Padme Hun一聲南無觀世音菩薩能消除怖畏恐懼，苦惱和障礙，獲得喜悅、幸福並增長愛心，慈愛心是一切幸福的根源，無論是世俗的健康長壽、財富、或是超脫生死的大自在和大智慧。開啟和增強慈悲心是最殊勝珍貴的。

盛傳在尼泊爾、印度和西藏的一個為期二天的千手千眼觀音修法，是一千年前觀音示現千手千眼相─親自傳給當時為麻瘋病困擾的尼泊爾公主吉祥女比丘尼，她依此修法而康復，千年來許多人依此修法去除疾病障礙甚至於得到證悟。

最近在各地上映的尋找轉世師父靈童的紀錄片，Unmistaken Child中的袞卻格西在尼泊爾的山洞中苦修二十五年，其間他的修行包括千手千眼觀音修法二千次以上，他的遺體火化後有許多五彩舍利子，而這些舍利子還繼續不斷的生出更多舍利子。

千手千眼觀音修法屬大乘行瑜珈部，兩天都守大乘關齋戒。第一天日中一食，第二天斷食，斷水和止語。修法含蓋集七資糧（普賢菩薩十大願），可以快速的淨業積福，二天的修法容易，讓現代人做到，一生如能修一次有很大的利益。修法前需先經觀音接引加持才能依法修，效益也更大。

此次傳接引加持和講解修法的梭巴仁波切出生在尼泊爾的高山上，自小即知道自己是曾在附近山澗中修行十三年的勞多喇嘛，多次想爬回自己的山洞但都被母親找回教訓一翻，他的慈悲和智慧是許多人感受得到的，是位俱格的師父，能正確的接引上觀音的大慈悲心，仁波切會傳授許多積福除障的善巧方法，在靈性的提升上能「一本萬利」。

接上宇宙慈悲的源头共創開心幸福的世界

Opening the HEART for a more Compassionate World

Message from Max Strom: Haiti (30 Jan 2010)

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:28:00 +0000

Dear Friends -

We send our prayers and strength to those struggling in the crisis in Haiti and to the loved ones of those who have perished.

Many great teachers tell us that it is in times like these we need to be strong and stay open-hearted, to give our help on the material level as much as we are able, and to give our prayers and courage too. It is also important not to sink into fear and guilt. Those who are in extreme suffering do not need more of these negative emotions, they need our positive energy and courage.

To manage our own feelings when we see fellow humans in a hell-realm it is helpful, as always, to do our practice. Whether it is our prayer, meditation practice, breathing, or posture practice, or better yet - all of them. When we do our practice, we notice that afterwards the world appears a little calmer, and hope begins again.

Breathe into your heart - breathe out from your heart - may we not waste a moment withholding love.

In peace - Max Strom

These herbs have been trusted for years to support the urinary tract and kidneys. Orthosiphon aristatus Miq is believed to promote the elimination of fluids, nitrogenous substances, and sodium chloride. The whole plant has been used for treatment of kidney diseases and dysuria with urinary stones. According to clinical studies, infusion of dried leaf has diuretic effect and increases uric acid excretion. Orthosiphon aristatus Miq is rich in potassium.

The Misai Kucing or translated to English -'Cat Whiskers' is not only known for its ornamental value in South East Asia but is sought after by research bodies worldwide for study of its innate medicinal value. This herb has been identified as an alternative treatment for ailments associated with joint inflammation and kidney stones.

Its inherent high potassium content is sufficient to balance any the loss of potassium arising from tne diuretic effect. In addition, this plant is also reported to possess anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

This plant is best used for treating the ailments or problems of kidney and bladder due to it's mild diuretic action. It is believed to have antiallergenic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties.It is used as a remedy for kidney stone and nephretis. It is also used for treating gout, diabetes, hypertension and rheumatism. It is also reported to possess antifungal and it exhibits considerable antibacterial activity.

It is believed to have antiallergic, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory and diuretic properties. It is used as a remedy for arteriosclerosis (capillary and circulatory disorders), kidney stones, diabetes and nephritis.

It is trusted for many centuries for treating ailments of the kidney, bladder stone, urinary tract infection, liver and bladder problems, diabetes, rheumatism and gout. It is also used to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.

Misai Kuching has a mild diuretic action, so it is very useful for flushing the kidneys and urinary tract. It also relieves spasms of the smooth muscle in the walls of the internal organs, making it valuable for gallbladder problems. Researchers have found it to be mildly antiseptic as well.

Summary, it's good for:-

Energy Medicine: 10 min daily routine for self care

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:48:00 +0000

Thanks to Dr Lai Chiu Nan (雷久南博士) for always learning and selflessly sharing all kind of holistic treatment/method/remedy to help people around the world to move on amidst the turbulent world, to save our mother Earth!

“Energy Medicine” – one of my bible by Donna Eden. (recommended by Dr Lai)

Does your energy seem chaotic, frenzied, and running backward? Perhaps it feels unbalanced, congested, stagnant, and without flow?

Feeling sick and tired of being sick and tired?

The most probable reason for this is your energy meridian system is running backward, and your Chakra's are stuck or spinning from the wrong direction.

The bad news is that modern life assaults you everyday with condition that tends to drain your energies and push them out of balance. Today's world opens us up to radiation and electromagnetic fields that scramble our energies: microwaves, non-nutritional food served through windows, TV's, modern medicine that give short-term relief may disorganize our energies and creates long-term problem, and pesticides, here to name a few. The good news is, you can reverse these disturbances in your human energy body using simple energy medicine techniques that foster your good health.

Your energy should be clear, rhythmic, flowing, pulsating, and humming. We just need to get your energy meridian system, and your Chakra's flowing in their normal, organic direction.

Read on and discover how you can do this, in ten minutes or less, with the Energy Medicine Daily Routine. I practice these (normally 1-4 and other ie. Rhythmic 8s, 'heaven & earth' etc) in the morning before I start my daily meditation & Yoga practise and for a quick pick-me-up whenever I feel my energy "slump." It is especially important for anyone who has an autoimmune disease—the thymus plays a vital role in the body's immune system.

1- The 3 Thumps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOnsfIX2kmU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgoj9loZ-nY&feature=related

Figure 3, pg. 51 (Energy Medicine)

1a - Thump K-27 Points
These are the end points of the kidney meridians, the pathways of energy that begin under the ball of each foot, travel up the inside of the leg, up the front of the body, and end at the collarbone.

The K-27 points are just under the clavicle, or collarbone. To find them, place your fingertips on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone, right about where a man knots his tie. Then move your fingers out to each side and down about an inch. Most people have small depressions there. Stimulating these points clears reversals, which is important before beginning any energy intervention. It gets the energy flowing in a forward direction and jump-starts the energy system so we feel more alert and energetic.  

Crossing your hands while thumping on the K-27 points is not essential but it has the added benefit of emulating the body's energies crossing at the neck. Keep thumping the K-27 points while taking three deep breaths.

Techniques:
• place your fingers in the area just under your collar bone (clavicle) and just outward from your breast bone
• tap or massage this area firmly, breathing deeply, for twenty seconds
• place the middle finger of one hand into your naval, the other hand spreads across the points that were just tapped
• gently pull up the finger that is in the naval, stretching the lower abdomen, and take three deep breaths

Benefits:
• energize you if you are feeling drowsy
• focus you if you are having difficulty concentrating

1b - Thymus Thump
According to Dr. John Diamond, author of Life Energy, the thymus gland controls the life energy of the body. The Greek word thymos actually means "life energy!"

Techniques:
• take your fingers of one or both hands and place them in the middle of the breast bone
• firmly tap this thymus point for about twenty seconds, breathing deeply

Benefits:
• stimulate all of your energies
• boost your immune system
• increase your strength and vitality

1c - Thump Spleen (Neurolymphatic ) Points
These points are part of the lymph system, which aids the immune system by removing toxins from the body.  The spleen neurolymphatic points are the depression between the 7th and 8th rib, just below the level of the breastbone (sternum). Find the points by moving your hand beneath your breasts, straight under the nipples, then move them down over the next rib. (These points are not under the ribcage, that's going down too far). 

Thumping the Spleen Neurolymphatic Reflex Points removes toxins, fights infection, modulates blood chemistry and hormones, counters dizziness and stress, synchronize body’s rhythms and helps metabolize food. 

If these points are really sore, stimulate them by rubbing and the soreness should disappear in a few days. These points can be stimulates while taking three deep breaths, and even longer --- for two or three minutes at a time.”

Techniques:
• place your fingers on your rib cage under your chest or breasts
• firmly tap these spleen points for about 15 seconds, breathing deeply

Benefits:
• lift your energy level
• balance your blood chemistry
• strengthen your immune system

2 - Cross Crawl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iveP_cEKmWA

"When energy is unable to cross over, it slows down dramatically. It begins to move in a homolateral pattern straight up and down the body and the body's ability to heal is severely diminished."  - Donna Eden & David Feinstein, PhD  

For full functioning, energy and information must flow naturally in a contralateral or cross-over pattern, i.e., from left brain to right-body, from right brain to left-body, weaving unhindered from side to side. When you've been in a stationary position for a while, your body's energy flow may shift temporarily to a HOMOLATERAL energy-flow pattern. So…? You feel physically stumbly and mentally bumbly!  

If I have been seated at the computer for hours, or even in my easy chair, my thinking becomes sluggish, I move awkwardly when I stand, and my energy feels low. When I first rise in the morning, my gait is lumbering and I'm poorly coordinated. That's because my energy flow is homolateral. It's as though my only energy source is two columns of feeble AAA batteries, one running up the left side of my body, the other up the right, with no energy contacts between.  

Persons who are wheel-chair bound or who suffer enduring or recurring fatigue-type illness often develop a chronic homolateral energy-flow pattern (Eden, 1998).

Tap your K-27 points to ensure your energies are traveling in the natural direction then start the cross crawl for about a minute.

Technique:
• while standing, lift your right arm above your head
• simultaneously, lift your left leg off the floor, bending it at the knee
• when bringing your right arm down, take your left arm above your head
• simultaneously, lift your right leg off the floor, bending it at the knee
• repeat the above steps in an exaggerated march, breathing deeply for about one minute

Cross Crawl when seated
Even when seated, you can do a Cross-Crawl movement by lifting your knees alternately, and touching each raised knee with the opposite hand or elbow. Persons with chronic-fatigue and those who have experienced head trauma seem to benefit from regular cross-over exercise.

If you're in a situation or condition which makes doing the physical Cross Crawl action impossible, just imagine it! See yourself walking energetically with arms swinging. Visualize yourself skating rhythmically, or cross-country skiing! Such imaging calls your body to remember the fluid grace and integrity of contralateral energy flow.

Benefits:
• feel more balanced
• think more clearly
• improve your coordination
• harmonize your energy

3 - Wayne Cook Posture
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIORgKOHMes&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTfOMTmnjjI&feature=related

• sit in a chair with your spine straight
• place your right ankle onto your left thigh, just above the knee
• with your left hand, grasp hold of your right ankle
• with your right hand, wrap it around the ball of your right foot
• as your breathe in slowly through your nose, expand and lift your torso, and pull your bent right leg toward you
• exhale, relaxing your torso and right leg
• repeat five times
• repeat the above sequence crossing the left leg over your right leg
• once complete, uncross your legs and place your feet on the floor
• place your finger tips together forming the shape of a pyramid
• rest your thumbs on the area between your eyebrows
• as your breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, separate your thumbs across your forehead, stretching the skin
• bring your thumbs back between the eyebrows
• slowly bring your hands down in front of you toward the heart, placing your palms together in prayer Mudra [ prayer position]
• breathe deeply for a few seconds

Benefits:
• untangle inner chaos
• see with better prespective
• focus your mind more effectively
• think more clearly
• learn more proficiently

4 - Crown Pull
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMIOqIAugZA&feature=related

• place your finger tips onto the crown or top of your head
• with some pressure, pull your hands and fingers apart toward your ears
• repeat this step, this time placing your finger tips onto the area in front of your crown
• with some pressure, pull your hands and fingers apart
• repeat, this time placing your finger tips onto the area behind your crown of your head
• with some pressure, pull your hands and fingers apart
• keep repeating this sequence several times, covering the back of the head and also the area just above your eyebrows

5 - Zipping Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLOPwk8_TGw

Similar to the chakras, which are your body's energy centers, meridians are energy pathways that emit both light and electromagnetic energy. These energies are referred to as subtle energies and are the key to energy medicine and healing.

When you are feeling fearful, sad or vulnerable, you may be picking up on other people's negative thoughts and energies. The central meridian that regulates your central nervous system runs like a zipper from your pubic bone up to your bottom lip. By tracing this pathway with the more subtle energies of your hands, you can draw energy along this line and zip it up. The Zip Up will help you to feel more confident and positive about yourself and your surroundings. It will enhance your inner strengths and assist you to think more clearly. It will also shield you from negative energies and thought forms.

• stand with your spine straight and legs hip width apart
• place your straight fingers and hands at your pubic bone
• slowly, inhale as you move your hands straight up the center of your body to your mouth
• exhale, placing your straight fingers and hands back to the pubic bone
• repeat five times, inhaling as you move your hands to your mouth
• This ends the six steps of your Daily Routine for keeping your energies humming.

6 – The Spinal Flush/Neurolymptics
This is a bit complicated, advice to refer to the book and DVD. I have not try this. ☺ A bit like 華陀捏脊法 (http://ywng-yogaliving.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post.html) which hubby usually does for me when I’m really sick.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45tLuqMrup0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoBvVBZXyAU&feature=related

Benefits Of The Energy Medicine Daily Routine
• each technique is simple to do
• restore energy when you are tired

• be more effective and alert
• stimulates all meridians and Chakra's
• boosts your lymphatic and immune systems, and removes toxins from your body

Raymon Grace Newsletter - Feb 27, 2009

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:45:00 +0000

Howdy Friends,

Many of you have written because of your concerns about the economy and world conditions in general. Well, I’m the wrong person to ask about things like that as I have little knowledge of world economics. However, I may have a bit of experience with changing energy.

As most of you know, our work is based on a few simple principles.
All things are composed of energy and the intelligent mind can direct energy.
Energy is impressed upon matter.
Energy follows thought.
If we think of a past event that causes us to become angry, we are likely to create a feeling of anger.
If we think of a past event that was fearful, we will create fear.
If we think of a past event that was funny, we will laugh.

Ok, so what happens when we regularly read papers and magazines telling us how bad things are? TV news makes a stronger impression on our mind.

When we buy into the opinions and commentaries of those in the news media, we are letting them tell us what to think. It seems that many people have either forgotten how to think or perhaps they never learned, so they let someone else do their thinking for them. We are affected by what we hear, see and experience, whether we like it or not.

So how do we stop being influenced by the bad news?
Here is how I do it.----- Don’t listen to it.
On most any situation I ask, “Will my life be better or worse because of this?”

If the activity is not in your best interest, then do something else that is in your best interest. OR if you feel a need to watch TV may I offer a few suggestions.

Use your dowsing and check the integrity of the newscaster. Check the value of the information. Ask if the information has a positive or negative effect upon you. If negative, use your dowsing to neutralize the effect upon you. Yes, you can do this because the intelligent mind can direct energy.

Since we are influenced by what we hear, it is important to create a circle of friends who support each other.

A few years ago, I decided to try an experiment and focused on a few close friends to encourage them and help them in whatever way was needed. They in turn, did the same for me. The results have been very positive for all of us. At least two of them went from terrible financial condition to being prosperous. Others achieved various degrees of success. There were no losers in this experiment. It was a WIN – WIN for everyone.

You can do the same thing. It is what we call, “Pooling our mental resources.” When we combine our energies to work on a project, we seem to be able to get better information and success. You don’t need a lot of people involved. It is important that you work ONLY with people with whom you are compatible. Dowse to check your compatibility. Avoid people who cause disruption in your projects as well as whiners and complainers.

Ok, so you want to make a difference but don’t know what to do. Well, here is what I do.

Each morning and evening I focus on TRANSMUTING FEAR, GREED, CORRUPTON AND ABUSE INTO FIFTH DIMENSIONAL ENERGY.
ANY SITUATION YOU BECOME AWARE OF, THAT IS HARMFUL TO THE LIVES OF YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN BE CHANGED INTO SOMETHING MORE POSITIVE.

You can practice on a variety of things. You can practice transmuting fear into courage, hate into love, aggressiveness into peace, depression into joy, you get the idea . If you have good intent, it is highly unlikely that you would do any harm.

Remember, if you do nothing—nothing will happen. If you do something—something will probably happen.

Global Call for Creative Thinking!
December 21 , 2008

8:00 P.M. Local time in your area.
It's time again! Please Join us, You DO make a difference.

We live in interesting times......

Since ENERGY FOLLOWS THOUGHT it seems a good idea that we think of what we want rather than worrying about what might happen. Worry causes stress and feeds the problem. Focusing on what we want helps to bring it into reality.

In 2002 we started asking people to take a few minutes focusing their thoughts to raise the energy of the earth and their surroundings. Many of you have noticed the shift in energy after doing this.

By many people doing this at the same time, it adds power to our thoughts. It is what I call ''combining our mental resources.''

At 8 pm local time [wherever you are] we ask that you would spend a few minutes to visualize your world the way you would like it to be.
Use your emotions and create a 'feel' as if it already exist. Use your 5 senses, make it REAL.

You can use any method you choose for this pray, dance, sing, dowse, drum or whatever method you believe in.

There is no organization to join, no dues to pay, no leaders to follow. This is an effort to encourage people to independently create their own chosen reality.

My friend Faye writes a bit differently and here are her suggestions.

Where ever you are we ask you to join us and send energy of wholeness, purity, balance, and peace to the people, the Earth and her waters and air. The best way of sending out peace is to be in a place of peace in your heart, so do something that brings joy and peace to you and then simply think of these things with those feelings in your heart and you will send that energy out.

As you think about it, visualize the earth and those you love, being vibrant, pure, in peace and balance, doing the things they choose to do in joy, with respect for all other beings and things; the air clear, clean and refreshing; the water sparkling as it plays over the rocks, crystal clear and a wonderful environment for fish and plants and people to frolic in and have fun; with each and every person being their most authentic self, taking full responsibility for their own life and having respect for all others. See each being living life to the fullest, being fully aware and conscious, enjoying each moment of our existence here on the earth in harmony with nature and with each other.

These four dates tie in with the seasonal equinox and solstices. So remember, 8 pm, your local time, wherever you are in the world. Have fun! Let your heart sing!

There is no organizer or director for this effort.

We appreciate you for caring, and doing something about it. The future is ours to create NOW! Have fun doing it.

If you do nothing, nothing is going to happen, if you do something, something might happen, The Future is yours, do something about it!
假如我们什么也不做，什么事都不会发生；
但假如我们采取行动，很可能就会有好事发生。

BREASTFEEDING – THE REMARKABLE FIRST HOUR OF LIFE

FYI & FYR! I just have time to compile and share this info now... Hope it helps! Thx *_^

BREASTFEEDING – THE REMARKABLE FIRST HOUR OF LIFE
http://www.unicef.org/malaysia/Breastfeeding_First_Hour_of_Life.pdf

Note:

" Delay intrusive or stressful procedures. The baby should be weighed, measured, and given preventive medications AFTER the feed."

... explained further by my teacher Dr Jean Byrne (http://www.yogaspace.com.au/) and Siti Norjinah Moin (Director of the Breastfeeding Information Bureau Malaysia - http://www.bibmalaysia.org/) during my Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Course recently early April'09.

* also... baby is not dirty, he/she can be cleaned up after the feed! *

At the first 30-40 min after birth baby have the strongest suckling reflex and more alert/awake that they will easily latch on the mother's breast and start suckling. So, it's the ideal time to start breastfeeding. After that they will be sleepy. The faster baby get the colostrum, the stronger the immunity of the baby. Feed the baby every 2 hours for the first 24 hours (= 12 times breastfeed within 24 hrs) after birth. After that, breastfeed only when bb feel hungry or 'on demand'.

Breastfeed baby don't need water. The mother fore milk (very dilute milk) have enough water for them.

If bb stool is watery or hungry too frequently - bb might get a disproportionately high amount of foremilk, and not enough hindmilk. Baby who is being exclusively breastfed usually has stools which are loose in texture, with small curds that resemble cottage cheese (some say it resembles runny egg yolks), lumpy, seedy, creamy, mustard-like, Light yellow to bright green in color and sweet-smelling if they get enough nutrient from the mother hindmilk.

more @ http://www.babycenter.com/404_whats-the-normal-color-of-a-breastfed-babys-bowel-movement_8830.bc

3 types of breastmilk:
1> Colostrum
- thick, yellowish "supermilk" that delivers concentrated germ-protecting factors
- has a laxative effect, helping baby clear the meconium (sticky, tar-like and green or black stool that the baby has been storing since before birth or the "byproducts" of building an entire human being for nine months) from her system
- rich in nutrients and antibodies
- rich and high protein than mature milk but less carbohydrates and fat
- may last from Day 1 - 2 weeks after birth
- If colostrum is not suckling out, it will take time to produce mature milk

2> Foremilk
- milk which is first drawn during a feeding
- generally thin and typically lower in fat content, satisfying the baby's thirst and liquid needs

3> Hindmilk
- milk which follows foremilk during a feeding
- richer in fat content and is high in calories
- this high fat and calorie content of this milk is important for your baby's health and continuing growth
* helps the mother to lose weight and the bb to put on weight

So, make sure to let your baby drain one breast before moving on to the other, to ensure that she receives all the benefits of both foremilk and hindmilk. If the bb is still hungry, you could feed from the other side briefly. Start the next feed from the side you fed briefly from.

Hind Milk and Fore Milk & why not to pump until at least six weeks after birth?

Breastfeeding at Birth
(source: Pregnancy -The Complete Childbirth Book by Nutan Lakhanpal Pandit)

Babies born with 3 reflexes:
- Homing in reflex: baby move towards the areola
- Rooting reflex: baby attaches itself to the mother breast's for feeding
- Suckling reflex: baby sucks at the breast

When the baby is breastfed at birth, it immediately learns how to attach itself to the breast and does not struggle to do so after the breast gets filled with milk. Besides they gets some colostrum that protect them from infection.

According to J.C. PEARCE in his Magic Child (1980),'Bonding is stage specific. Nature has designed the bonds to be established in the hours immediately following birth... as is the case of learning to breathe, this is the critical period for bonding.'

J.C further explains when mother breastfeeds her baby at birth, she stimulates all the 5 senses of the baby, ie touch, smell, sight (baby can concentrate on a face 6-12 inches away from its own in the following birth), taste and hearing (since most mother will 'talk' to her baby while feeding). This in turn stimulates the reticular formation of the brain (an area of the brain that receives messages from the 5 senses). It gives the baby better coordination between the brain and the 5 senses for the rest of its life.

When this happens, 'All adrenal steroid production has completely disappeared in a short time because the infant,in being return to, and recognizing the known,relaxes. He then remains in an alert and yet calm state of mind'.

Good news! Pn Siti Norjinah Moin also told us that one of the KL hospital have finally agreed to start labour in water. This is a great start,right! Hopefully very soon moms will have the option of giving birth in water naturally.

一招半式走天下
談華陀捏脊法
~鄭姝如

source:
http://www.lapislazuli.org/TradCh/magazine/200311/20031103.html

﹁華陀夾脊穴﹂在中醫屬於經外奇穴，沿著脊椎從第一胸椎至第五腰椎，在脊椎棘突下旁開5分，左右共三十四個穴，貫穿整個後背。上半部可治上肢及胸部疾病，下半部則可治下肢及腹部疾病，除了針灸效果好之外，用手指捏拿也可達到很好的療效。﹁華陀捏脊法﹂即是徒手沿著脊椎兩旁由下往上捏拿，通經活血，調和五臟六腑，對治局部的肩、頸、背、腰疼痛更是效果顯著。尤其此法簡單易學，立即見效，不必任何道具︵當然必須要有手指︶，以現代人養尊處優，不是這兒疼，就是那兒痛的情況看來，光是這一招就可走天下了﹗

先舉例說明增加諸位的信心，再分解動作增加諸位的功力。話說自從學醫後，自己懂得穴道按摩、針灸及食療保養，一直平安無事，只是有時背部酸痛，又處於手搆不到的地方時，就有騷不到癢處之憾。在此情況下，往往得央求外子高抬貴手，幫我﹁華陀捏脊﹂一番。平時我老嫌他力道不夠，捏起來像騷癢般，一點通體舒暢的感覺也沒，後來在考執照期間，由於久坐K書，神經緊繃，整個背部僵硬，外子才剛往腰部一捏，我就痛得咬牙切齒，再繼續往上捏，我真是痛得想一拳揍過去，捏完後如釋重負，整個背部完全鬆了。還有一次不知怎麼搞的，脊椎忽然作痛，痛得我只能平躺，只要一起身，每走一步都痛得說不出話，別說自我針灸，連穴道按摩都感吃力。急中生智，央請家父幫我擦一些疏經活血的油膏，再﹁華陀捏脊﹂多次︵痛處加捏幾次︶，捏完後即可起身，一兩天後就全好了。︵完全沒吃任何中西藥哦﹗︶這兩次經驗讓我真正領教到﹁華陀捏脊﹂的威力，實在太棒了﹗有此深刻體驗，凡遇痛症病人，我免不了套用此招，有些病人還捏上癮了，會主動要求加此服務，其成效可見一斑﹗

每當出門在外，針灸不便時，此法更可小兵立大功。有一次在海外，琉璃光邱姊因為過勞，早年痼疾∣腰痛發作，我馬上義不容辭地搬出﹁華陀捏脊﹂侍候，數聲哀嚎過後，腰背便鬆了︵我猜應該是痛得很過癮吧﹗嘻嘻﹗︶，而且一夜好覺︵對了！睡前捏脊也可幫助睡眠哦！︶，隔天又生龍活虎、活繃亂跳了！嚐到甜頭後，邱姊便迫不及待要把此法公諸於世，還特別找專業攝影師及願意奉獻﹁美背﹂的義工把分解動作拍攝下來，可謂用心良苦。希望這一招也能讓諸位看官行走天下、無往不利！

動作分解及說明：
一、先用雙手拇指及食指夾起腰椎兩旁的皮下組織︵也可從尾椎開始︶，食指及中指在前導引，拇指下壓並往前推，一鬆一緊，由腰部開始往肩頸部有規律地捏。最好不要中途間斷，讓﹁氣﹂能上下貫通，不致堵在某處。

二、到頸部時，手順著脊椎滑下來，把氣由上導到下，再重覆第一步，由腰或尾椎往上捏脊，至少做三次，之後再針對患處局部加強。若力道掌握得宜，三次後背部便鬆了，會有通體舒暢之感。症狀較嚴重者在捏完後的幾天內，背部還會有疼痛感，但會越來越輕鬆，不必擔心！
三、遇到肌肉僵硬、阻塞嚴重的情況，被捏者可能會疼痛難忍，此時動作可放緩或稍停片刻︵但手指不可放開︶，讓對方可喘口氣、放鬆一下，免得事後翻臉或飛拳相向。還有手指甲不宜過長，免得刮傷被捏者。

四、大人小孩均可捏，小嬰兒則建議用食指及中指沿脊椎兩旁按摩即可。

五、捏脊時間不拘，但飯後不要馬上趴著做，以免因壓迫反造成腸胃不適。

附註：馬來西亞琉璃光雜誌也曾在一九九九年12月的創刊號中介紹此捏脊法，不過它是拇指在上、食指在下，和我所學的方式略有不同，但我想功效應是相同的。

圖一：從尾椎開始拇指往下壓，食指、中指在上

圖二：往肩頸部方向，拇指不可離開背部

圖三：至肩頸部時，手順著脊椎滑下來。

琉璃光養生世界: 李鳳山-平甩功

课程：调气、呼吸法、甩手功

平甩功的因緣- 快樂
http://www.lapislazuli.org/TradCh/magazine/200811/20081105.html

「平甩功」出自兩大系，一為達摩老祖的「易筋經」，一為張三丰祖師的太極功，主要在「平」的意境上多下功夫。「平甩功」能讓氣血到達四肢末梢，排出不潔之氣。

二年前一位師姐介紹李鳳山師父的平甩功，因為書中有些癌症病人練習平甩功後康復的例子，而引起興趣想要了解一番。自己七年前得過癌症，學過一些氣功，希望能幫助恢復身体的健康，但主要還是以走路為主，每日早晨下午各一次。每次 1.5 小時左右。師姐把這本書《李鳳山平甩功》借給我看。閱讀後帶來很多啟示。書中分觀念篇、鍛練篇和案例。特別是在觀念篇中一些重要的概念，如「柔軟生之相，僵硬死之兆」，「藥補不如食補，食補不如氣補」，「練氣與一般運動最大的不同在於它不需藉由大量的動，只要規律的運作，就能深入五臟六腑，達到深度呼吸的有氧效果」，值得好好思惟。李鳳山師父的心法是主要學習的重點。從鍛鍊平甩功而達到身體的健康和平穩的心境。當身心調合，就能在日常生活中祥和處世。

一邊閱讀書中的教法，一邊照著做，在鍛練篇，介紹平甩功的由來與特點。如只需要方圓場地就可練習，簡單易學。動作說明與練習原則是學習功法的指導。在此章中也描述練習平甩功後的反應、調整與效果。反應如痠、痛、麻、癢、脹等感覺。調整是要我們時時反觀內省，自我檢查，自我調整。書中建議每次甩手三十分鐘。因為第一個十分鐘可以達到全身的循環，第二個十分鐘開始進入我們身體過勞之處。第三個十分鐘開始調整病灶，以達到以柔克剛的境界。有些常見的問題可以在「問題與解答」中，找到答案。如果是肢體殘障者、年長者、膝關節退化者，都可以按照坐式平甩功鍛練，其中有坐輪椅的人，練平甩功半年之後，雙腿長力氣而可以從輪椅上走下來。這真的是一種大家都可以鍛練的氣功。

從此以後練習平甩功是每天的功課之一，早晚各做一千五百下，約三十分鐘。剛開始做時手指端有痠、麻、脹的感覺，練習幾個月後這些現象就不再發生，而感覺出身體的氣血循環有進步。覺得練習平甩功沒有時間和方位的限制，所需要的空間也很小，甩手的動作也很簡單，重覆每次甩手五下就蹲二下，也沒有年齡的限制。在自己練習的這段時間，請朋友從台灣代買此書。以便練功有問題時再翻書作參考。在書中的生命再造健康檔案中，有很多癌症患者如攝護腺癌末期和肝癌的病例，專心練習平甩功，加上改變飲食習慣而甩掉癌症，恢復身體的健康。很多慢性病的案例也恢復健康。當時就想下次回台灣一定要去拜訪李鳳山師父的道場。練習平甩功一年多後，體力漸漸進步，手腳的暖度也增加了。

二○○七年十月返台探親，在台北時，就專程去中華路上的梅門道場拜訪，先在梅門客棧品嚐色香味俱全的養生餐，再去樓上參觀，有二位義工負責解答問題。我提出平甩功治癒癌症案例的問題。沒想到這位師兄是位癌症患者，經過傳統西醫的治療但效果不佳，經朋友介紹，開始練習平甩功，就逐漸恢復健康。

回到高雄後，就去梅門道場報名學習平甩功。師兄師姐跟著李師父練功多年有很紮實的功法。因為自己照書練習所以有些動作不正確也不知道。老師建議學生在鏡子前練習，比較容易發現甩手時身體姿勢的問題。在道場就是在一大片鏡子前練習，可看到自己的動作。每次練習甩手時，老師都在一旁觀察學生的動作，隨時幫助學生調整，每一節課都有教新的甩手方法，目前學到的有平甩，高甩，左右高甩，轉圈法，曲中求直和拍胯功。以上的功法是屬於動功，每次做完動功後，休息一下，喝杯溫開水。接下來的是靜功部份│靜坐。完成靜坐後。最後是按摩和伸展身體。這是一整套的學習。每次學習新的功法就加入到早晚的功課。因為時間不夠，只學到拍胯功為止，等下次再繼續學習了。非常感謝梅門的師兄師姐們，盡量幫助我學習功法。

從二○○七年十月開始，每天練習平甩功和靜坐，大約八個月後，身體的狀況有明顯的改善.

1. 手指與腳指的血液循環增加，因為指甲的顏色從暗的變成較明亮的光澤。以前走路一個半小時也會使指甲的顏色變得較亮但不能持久，進步緩慢。練習此套功法之後，加強身体的氣血循環。不但指甲有改善，連面部的光澤也改善了。

2. 腰部的肌肉逐漸調整至平衡的狀態。十九年前因為運動時腰部受到嚴重的扭傷，多年來經過各種治療方法，整脊、針灸、復健，效果有限。很容易舊傷復發。目前腰部舊傷逐漸復原，有時不小心傷到腰部，鍛練平甩功，一至二天就恢復正常。已親身體驗過幾次.

3. 左右腳的調整。不知何時開始，右邊的大腿比左邊的大腿長了一點。跪下來禮佛時才注意到，但是不知道該如何矯正。直到今年六月的一個研習課程中，請一位有經驗的老師幫忙調整左右腳的偏差，她將手放在我的腰部，目測後告訴我沒有這個問題。我自己也注意到左右腿的差別很小了。

4. 頭部的頸骨調整。想不起什麼時候在照相時，攝影師總會調整我的頭部，自己感覺不出來頸部的不正。大概長期以來行住坐臥的姿勢不正確，導致經絡骨骼的變化。最近去照相時，老問題又發生，攝影師還是須要走過來幫我調整頭部，但調整角度己經很小。

5. 身體的柔軟度增強。練習平甩功半年後，不論是站或坐，彎腰時額頭可以碰到膝蓋。

自從學習平甩功以後，身體的氣血循環大幅改善。我在生病之前每周的運動是球類活動，因為缺乏適當的暖身運動，而造成腰部嚴重的扭傷，這也可能傷到經絡系統。生病之後每天的運動是走路。前面六年的走路，靜坐和有機素食使身體的健康逐漸進步。但是體力和氣色進步較緩慢。從梅門回來之後，照著老師所教的功法，每天早晚鍛練，效果就開始顯現出來。自己的心得是一般的運動可以增加淋巴系統和血液的循環。身體的肌肉和關節可以活動到。但是練平甩功不但有以上的優點，並且藉著簡單又重複的動作和呼吸，氣血的循環可以達到較深層的五臟六腑，加速身體恢復健康。目前自己可以感覺到在練平甩功時身體的氣（能量）還在不斷的調整，書中提到身體左右有不平衡時，是筋與骨的問題。經由這段時間的鍛練，深信這套功法將幫助我不但恢復身體的健康，更進一步達到心性的平穩，身心健康是人生最重要的資產，有興趣提升自己身心健康的朋友，可以試一試鍛練此功法。人的潛能可以創造奇蹟，誠如李鳳山師父寫的│「奇蹟是獻給相信的人」。

多食漢堡，全球暖化幫兇；蔬菜素食省碳成效高‏

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:35:00 +0000

科學家日前證實「漢堡為全球暖化問題的幫兇」，家畜所排放的廢氣與消耗的大量自然資源，不符合經濟效益，佔全球溫室氣體近五分之一。

肉類中以牛隻為罪魁禍首，僅佔肉品市場三成卻製造近八成廢氣一公斤的牛肉，產生相當於十六公斤的二氧化碳，排放量分別為豬肉的四倍和雞肉的十倍。

多數專家認為「不吃牛排改吃沙拉，就如同幾天不開車一樣環保」，將能達到連先進科技都難以超越的成效，減低溫室氣體排放量。

專家表示，這也就是為何「改變人們飲食是多麼重要的事。」
以歐美國家而言，除了汽車排放量和家電外，家庭平均用碳最兇的就是「食物」。

美國單一家庭一年所製造的5噸二氧化碳，其中有3.5噸來自於食物來源所排放的廢氣。如果一年不吃乳製品或紅肉(意即豬牛羊)，等同於減少了一加侖跑25哩的汽車，連續開8100哩所產生的空氣污染。

Metamorphosis ~ Healing Prenatal Memories

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:29:00 +0000

Metamorphosis ~ Healing Prenatal Memories

Metamorphosis is a technique used to heal and recall in-utero trauma, to help energize the womb during pregnancy, and to assist child development.

It is best described as a meditative experience of regressing into body memories from conception to birth. There is no verbal memory of these experiences, but they are recorded in the memory bank of the body.

This tool works effectively for adults, children and babies, to get to the roots of armoring and life patterns which originated in the womb. The trauma from conception to birth can be indicated by:

- Feeling anxious, sad, scared, depressed all their lives and not knowing why
- Feeling unwanted or never having bonded
- Children or adults having developmental problems
- May be useful for individuals with history of abuse, help them recover a place of safety or to process and integrate the experience of having been an unwanted child.

蜕变  康复胚胎记忆
蜕变是恢复我们在母胎内时的创伤、提升孕妇的子宫能量以及协助儿童发展的一种疗法。犹如冥想似的体验，回归到储存在身体内从受孕直至出生的记忆。这里未有言语的记忆，但却记录在身体的记忆库。

无论是成人、小孩或婴儿，这个技巧有效地洞彻始于母胎的身心“围墙”和生活模式。以下为一些受孕至分娩时所受创伤的迹象：
- 有生以来无明地感到焦虑、悲伤、恐惧、忧郁
- 感到被遗弃或从未建立亲子关系
- 小孩或成人拥有成长发育障碍
- 可能有助于帮助被虐待受害者，让他们恢复安全感，或整合与化解遭受厌弃的童年经历

Butterfly Touch Massage (蝴蝶按摩)

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:24:00 +0000

It was founded by Dr. Eva Reich in 1950s, to help premature baby survive and to help mother/fathers and baby bond. Later, this technique evolved and can be used for all aged group for healing and personal growth . As the name suggest , this technique is inspired by the gentle way one might hole a butterfly so that the scales do not come off your fingers, and by the rhythmic grace of the butterfly’s movement during flight. This gentle touch invites the energy of the person receiving it to expand outward so that he/she might experience life richly.

Eva learnt from her father, Wilhelm Reich that at the core of all of us is our life force. This life force pulsates, expands and contracts. However, this natural flow gets blocked as the result of trauma and the building of protective armor. Reich demonstrated that stroking the skin lightly results in the expansion of the life energy, while probing forcefully caused the energy to contract inside.

Eva observed that light stroking melts tension,healed trauma, and resulted in the life energy flowing from the core to the surface and beyond.

This gentle touch is particularly useful for:

Birth, babies and children:
· Help mother relax during birth and restore her energy after birth
· Help baby’s energy to expand after birth to integrate birth experience
· Help mother/father and baby/child to bond
· Repair bond if mother and baby separated
· Help adopted children to heal and bond
· Relax colicky babies
· Calm hyper children i.e. to sleep

Therapy
· Melt Armor
· Heal the memory of primal trauma
· Restore energy after accident/illness
· Comfort patient in hospice
· Soothe animals
· Promote bonding for couples, parents and children
· Primal injury in adults including birth injury or being as an unwanted baby
· Effective in helping abused individuals to feel safe being touched
· Relieve stress

This simple, yet profound technique is gentle and non-invasive. It will not tend to activate any history of abuse and will help both physical and emotional primal trauma.

蝴蝶按摩
1950年，Dr.Eva Reich为了提高早产儿的存活率和帮助父母亲与婴儿建立亲子关系，独创了蝴蝶按摩方。后来，她逐渐改进这个方法，让各年龄层的人士都能从中得到疗效及个人的提升。这方法的名称源自蝴蝶，蝴蝶飞翔时的优美韵律以及按摩时就像是轻柔地握着蝴蝶但不会使蝴蝶的麟脱落一样。这轻柔的接触将他/她的生命能量向外扩大，让他/她能更加丰富地体验人生。

Eva从她的父亲 Wilhelm Reich那儿了解,生命力对我们所有人而言是最关键的。这股生命力一直在脉动、扩展和收缩。但是由于创伤而立起的自我保护围墙却会阻碍这个自然的过程。Reich证明了轻柔地轻拂皮肤会让生命能量扩展，而强硬的施压方式却会让生命能量萎缩。

Eva观察到，轻轻地轻拂可以溶化紧绷感、治疗创伤，使生命能量可以从内向外扩展。

轻柔的轻拂特别有助于：

生产时的产妇、婴儿和儿童· 帮助产妇在生产时放松并在产后恢复能量
· 帮助初生婴儿提升能量，以缓解出生时的不适感
· 帮助母亲/父亲和初生婴儿/孩子建立亲子关系
· 帮助修复离散的母亲与婴儿之间的关系
· 帮助被领养的孩子治疗创伤和建立亲子关系
· 让腹部绞痛的婴儿放松
· 舒缓过动儿的情绪，让他们容易入眠

治疗· 溶化身心“围墙”
· 对原始创伤释怀
· 发生意外/生病后恢复能量
· 为住院病人提供抚慰
· 安定动物情绪
· 促进伴侣/父母和孩子的感情
· 成人原始的创伤，包括出世时的创伤/被父母遗弃的创伤
· 帮助被虐待受害者在被触碰时感到放心 纾解压力

这简单但蕴含丰富的方法是温和而不具侵略性的。它不会引发过去被虐待的经验，但会帮助修复身体和情绪原始的创伤

You know, when you leave a Chinese restaurant stuffed, sometimes you feel like nasty oils and fat will come shooting out of your pores? Well, after leaving Organic Recipe, I felt stuffed and healthier than ever! :P

An organic vegan / vegetarian restaurant featuring flavorful and delightful healthy vegetarian cuisine, mouthwatering recipes that are pleasing everyone, even the most unrelenting meat-eater. The prices are decent!

Organic Recipe not only serves delicious food but has friendly wait staff, not to mention the owner - Low, if you know him! I love the 'fruit rojak' (miso rojak sauce), 'vege seaweed hand roll', 'Hakka Lui Cha', 'golden seaweed salad' etc. My hubby love the 'sambal petai vegetarian fish roll'. They have steamboat on weekend, We have yet to try it, but should be tasty, heheh! A perfect place for vegetarians and vegans like me to pig out, to dive into the great food!

2009 New Year Messages & Announcement: Justin Herold Synergy Of Iyengar Yoga Workshop @ 11-12 Apr'09 (Sat & Sun), Kuala Lumpur

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:57:00 +0000

Dear yoga enthusiasts,

Season's Greetings! Wishing you and family a blessed Christmas and New Year 2009.

As the year draws to the end, it is also an apt time to reflect on our practice, where it was in the beginning of the year and how our bodies have changed over the year. New becomes old and old becomes new again. Time is most precious. Time is fleeting and it is passing away. Utilise every second wisely. Live every moment of your life for the realisation of your wish, goal and dream.

As yogis, and as part of yoga practice, whether students and practitioners of the discipline of yoga know that as with any positive change, it has its peaks and valleys, but with commitment and perseverance, the payoff is priceless. Commitment is never easy, but it is almost always worth the effort. As the commitment grows, so will confidence, and the practice of yoga will begin to blossom well beyond the mat.

It's in these new beginnings that we give thanks for what has brought us to this place. A big "Hug and Thank You" to my husband, family, friends, relatives, teachers etc. I'm so blessed and contented to have all of you in my life. Thanks for your selflessly sharing, guidance, support and unconditonal love that showering and keeping me move on amidst this 'lovely' world ! You have truly helped me find a deep part of myself. I hope you'll find inspiration to help shine a light on your path for 2009.

May your practice in the coming year of Cow help you rediscover your body. May all the succeeding days of this year and all the future years also bring you all real peace, happiness, harmony, prosperity and success.

DIY: Dr. Ros' Garbage Enzyme

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:35:00 +0000

my garbage enzyme ~ processing!

Dr. Ros' Garbage Enzyme DIY

It has been a while, I'm using my own garbage enzyme:
- as fertilizers for my herbs and plant
- as a household cleaning liquid
- to remove foul odours, molds and grime in the kitchen and toilet
- as an anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent
- for laundry washing
- for mopping floors
- as facial toner
- body shampoo
etc

A. Ratio of Making Garbage Enzyme:
Brown sugar/Molasses : 1 - 500g - 1kg
Garbage : 3 - 1.5kg - 3kg
(chop to smaller pieces)
Water : 10 - 5 liter - 10 liter

B. Method:
1. Mix brown sugar with water in a jar, add in garbage.
2. Leave some space for fermentation.
3. Enzyme will form and ready to be used in 3 months.
4. Make sure the container is air tight.
5. Push the floating garbage downward once a while.
6. The enzyme is ready to be used in 3 months. The residue can be reused for the next production by adding in fresh garbage. It can be used as fertilizer by drying the residue, blending and buried in the ground.

When the enzyme is diluted with water, it becomes more effective.

C.The Use of Enzyme:
(For maximum effectiveness, dilute enzyme with water)

1.Fertilizer ~ 1ml enzyme : 1000ml water
2.Insecticide ~ 1ml enzyme : 1000ml water
3.Pesticide ~ 1ml enzyme : 1000ml water
4.Anti-odor/air freshener ~ 1ml enzyme : 200ml water
5.Plant hormone (to get more fruits and flower) ~ 1ml enzyme : 500ml water
6.Shampoo, dish washing detergent and detergent ~ ½ tsp in shampoo
(to reduce the chemical effect ) 1 tsp enzyme : 500ml liquid
1 tbsp enzyme : 1000ml liquid

Notes:
Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.

Garbage for making enzyme does not include paper, plastic, metal or glass materials.
Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residue; orange , lemon peel or pandan leave will produce better scent.

The ideal colour of garbage enzyme is dark brown. Add in same amount of brown sugar to re-ferment if the enzyme turns black.

It may have white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it. If you encounter worms in the container, leave it for a while and close the cover tightly.

If you have not gather enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually. The 3 months fermentation period start from the last day you add in kitchen waste.

Feet - the foundation of your body

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:23:00 +0000

Our feet is like the foundation of a building, if we don't ground our feet firmly on the floor, our body will collapse. Nothing can be built on a shaky foundation. Even the brain, the seat of intelligence, cannot be held in correct alignment with the spine.

I just reliase that I have a slight flat feet on my right feet till Justin (http://iyengar-yoga-bangkok.com/teacher.html) told me recently. No wonder, sometimes my knee will have little pain, no wonder sometimes I feel like falling down suddenly while walking,... It's not too late, as least I know my problem now and bring more awareness to this leg.

I still remember, there was once Ann Barros (http://www.baliyoga.com/) told us that when we are standing still or doing any standing asana, if the upper body have any problem, do check from the sole of our feet first. Whereas, if we are doing inversion, check our palms.

Do learn to stand in the correct alignment now to protect your body! For an alert body, alert mind and brain. Tadasana is very useful.

Tadasana
========
Etymology of Tadasana:
Tada – Mountain
Asana – Pose or Posture
Tadasana – Mountain Pose

- the best way to restore the natural aliveness, strength, and adaptability of the feet.
- bring attention to how we stand and correct the posture of the body
- learn the basic position of standing firmly on the legs

According to B. K. S. Iyengar (http://www.bksiyengar.com/)in his well loved treatise on yoga, Light on Yoga, Tadasana was traditionally performed with the arms stretched over the head. It seems that for convenience, and practical purpose, Tadasana, has come to be known as the basic standing posture, with the arms by the sides.

Technique:
----------
- stand upright
- feet together, toes, ankles and heel touching
- see that the body-weight is spread evenly over the feet
- tighten the kneecaps and lifet the knees up
- shinbone in line with the tigh bones
- front of the thighs pressed back
- spine erect, chest lifted, open the heart
- arms straight down by the sides, in line with the hips
- roll the shoulder bone back and tuck the shoulderblade in
- neck straight, head straight
- look straight ahead

Learn to have an overall glance over the whole body to feel its existence. Learn to distribute the weights evenly on the feet, soles and heels.

Effect: (excerpt: Light on Yoga, by BKS Iyengar pg.62)
-------
People do not pay attention to the correct method of standing. Some stand with the body weight thrown only on one leg, or with one leg turned completely sideways. Others bear all the weight on the heels, or on the inner or outer edges of the feet. This can be noticed by looking where the soles and heels of the shoes wear out. Owing to our faulty method of standing and not distributing the body weight evenly on the feet, we acquire specific deformities which hamper spinal elasticity. Even the feet are keep apart, it is better to keep the heel and toe in a line parallel to the median plane and not at an angle. By this method, the hips are contracted, the abdomen is pulled in and the chest is brought forward. One feels light in body and the mind acquires agility. If we stand with the body weight thrown only on the heels, we feel the gravity changing; the hips become loose, the abdomen protrudes, the body hang back and spine feel the strain and consequently we soon feel fatiqued and the mind become dull. It is therefore essential to master the art of standing correctly.

Note:
-----
Do not consider this asana unimportant since it is very simple. The more you attend to it, the more you begin to realise the defect in your own body's posture.

Here with some articles, happy reading! Happy practising!

Passage quoted from BKS Iyengar

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:17:00 +0000

"Yoga is a light which, once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame."

“If the foundation is firm, the building can withstand calamities. The practice of yoga is the foundation, so that the self is not shaken under any circumstances.”

"Yoga liberates you. When you practice yoga, your mind becomes unfettered and free. The impact of yoga is never purely physical. Asanas, if correctly practiced, bridge the divide between the physical and the mental spheres. Yoga stems the feelings of pain, fatigue, doubt, confusion, indifference, laziness, self-delusion, and despair that assail us from time to time. The yogic mind simply refuses to accept such negative emotions and seeks to overcome these turbulent currents on the voyage to the total liberation of the self. Once we become sincere practitioners of yoga, we cease to be tormented by these unhappy and discouraging states of mind. Yoga illuminates your life. If you practice sincerely, with seriousness and honestly, its light will spread to all aspects of your life. Regular practice will bring you to look at yourself and your goals in a new light. It will help remove the obstacles to good health and stable emotions. In this way, yoga will help you achieve emancipation and self-realization, which is the ultimate goal of every person's life."

“The conjunction of effort, concentration, and balance in asana forces us to live intensely in the present moment, a rare experience in modern life. This actuality, or being in the present, has both a strengthening and a cleansing effect: physically in the rejection of disease, mentally by ridding our mind of stagnated thoughts or prejudices; and, on a very high level where perception and action become one, by teaching us instantaneous correct action; that is to say, action which does not produce reaction.”

B.K.S. Iyengar,
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (1993)

“Through cultivation of friendliness, compassion, joy & indifference to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene and benevolent.

This sutra asks us to rejoice with the happy, to be compassionate to the sorrowful, friendly to the virtuous, and indifferent to those who live in vice despite attempts to change them.”

D.I.Y: EMF Protection

noreply@blogger.com (~yw) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 03:10:00 +0000

Hi there,

DIY for EMF protection:
1/ cut a triangle shape (white paper),
2/ write the mantra of "Om Mani Padme Hum" (in blue pen) or #95*59# on the triangle paper
3/ stick to your handphone, tv, hair dryer, laptop, CD Player etc...

My experiment on handphone and any electrical appliances will be anti-clockwise including thing with battery ie watch, alarm clock, remote control, etc. After sticking the 'mantra' (MANTRA OF YOUR OWN RELIGION) or '# 95 * 59 #' on it, it turns to clockwise - positive energy! Amazing!

However, you can also save this code # 95 * 59 # in your handphone contact. But, I tested that it's +VE if the handphone is not in use. If someone calling you or you are talking on the phone, the energy will turn back to -VE. Then, once I put the triangle paper with 'Om Mani Padme Hum' mantra on it, it turns to +VE again. Anyway, please try and experiment it yourself again! :P

Or ＃535000*5*＃ But, I have not test with this code, you try and let me know! hahah :P

Refer to pictures below for other mantras. I got these stickers (as example) from one of the Lapis Lazuli Light's volunteer worker during Dr Lai course 2 weeks ago, so I just stick all over my handphone scare I'll lost it. Hehehe... Anyway, you just need to stick 2 important one (pic 1) at the back of your handphone's battery will do.

Guess, you will have more to do on your laptop, tv, CD Player, printer, hair dryer, water bottle etc. Or just on the plug, socket etc... Try and test it!
