How are you charging and discharging? Think of your Kidneys like the charge in a battery and you realize that your lifestyle is significant in how use choose to use this charge up during the course of a day and a life. If we consider that stress is; ‘the extent to which we let our external environment dictate to us what is important’ we realise that where we focus our time and energy is under increased pressure by all the things that are vying for our attention. Our external

LIVER –Transmutation, Transformation, Change “Hello” I ventured. “Who are you?” “I am a warrior, my name is Hun I am part of a tribe, a vast tribe of millions and my voice must be heard. My word is law but it is not always heard. I can reach through time to the lands of my forefathers and all the records of creativity contained there.” I didn’t know how to respond. He continued “If you are a pianist and you want to play like Mozart I can help you. I am Spring; the endless str

All of us are experiencing the struggle that goes with transition and transformation. In astrological terms we are on the cusp between the Piscean and Aquarian ages. In our human evolution we have passed through the summer season, it is now late summer when the heat is being burnt out through the leaves, and the autumn winds are blowing the trees bare (the hope is what follows is a peaceful winter rather than a desolate nuclear wasteland!). The stripping back that autumn brin

Detox There is a modern fashion with ‘going on a detox’, which normally implies restricting certain foods, a mono diet or even fasting on water and herbal teas or juices. It is counter-intuitive to think that if you have less you feel more – more energised and more light! The protein myth, in particular, perpetuates the idea that we need lots of protein and the meat and dairy industry obviously have a vested interest in perpetuating this myth. Actually, excess protein just pu

Although most of us have spleens, we do not typically suppose the manner they perform as organs in our bodies. You’ve probably heard people use the phrase “venting spleen” – not relating the piece itself, however as the simplest way to explain lease out anger or frustration. The word “spleen” has return to be used metaphorically as a equivalent word for “anger”. this is often as a result of in medieval times, the spleen was thought to be the literal, physical supply of a hot

This morning I decided to write down a few reasons why you should do early morning meditation and yoga. It is vitally important not to have any attachment or expectations about beginning an early morning practice. The Aquarian Age is motivated by inspiration – not by dogma and rules. Why Meditate Early in the Morning? Sadhna means spiritual discipline, and in the Kundalini Yoga tradition, this is generally taken to mean a daily early morning practice (though it could mean a p

Meditation has surged in popularity in recent years and is now championed by therapists, scientists, celebrities and high -performing athletes. As the practice becomes more widely acknowledged as an indispensible tool for life improvement, it can be helpful to understand scientifically why it actually works! Cultivating a better understanding of meditation will enhance our experience and better equip us to communicate the benefits of the practice to others. Inspired by lead

It has been said that It doesn’t matter what your external life is like if you don’t have access to the soul you are poor. The teachings encourage us to; turn our attention inward by closing down the nine holes (sensory orifices) so that our inner light can shine. Our self-illumination can then shine a light for others. Meditation is very helpful for this. Keeping the body as healthy as possible for as long as possible means that it?s aches and pains don't become a burden tha

HOW to Meditate? (last in this series) So we have seen that meditation is a cleansing of the subconscious. A way of observing the social and intellectual programming you have received. Seeing how the inner most complexity of your feelings project out into your life. A way to eliminate negative self-talk, boredom, frustration etc. Meditation in life not then becomes not a question of what you are doing but how are you doing it. It relates to focus & intention. Equally when w

WHEN to meditate? (and WHO is meditating? “You are the creative source and nucleus of the whole vibratory pattern in which you live” YB (TT Manual p28) It maybe clear by now Who is the meditator is the you that is meditating to get to your real identity. To eliminate, to witness, to be present takes quite some processing, whether or not we are in meditation that’s why the teachings encourage us to always keep a mantra on our breath. The sound current is the integrator, the s

What's happening during meditation? Don't try to solve your problems. Take them to the highest part in you and drop them. With the world and with others give your strength. All your pain and nonsense give to god (Yogi Bhajan). How is the progression described ? Upper Four Stages of Patanjali 5th limb -Pratyahara: stop, remember & synchronise, gather in (withdrawal of senses which paradoxically makes our senses more alive) 6th -Dharana: focus on the object of your contemplati

What is Meditation, what is happening when we meditate? I would like to share this part in 2 stages. This first part is an introduction to the soul nature and the relationship between mind and soul. In the second part I would like to talk more about the actually process; what is happening when we meditate. Meditation is seen as illogical and irrational to many. To discuss it?s value we have to establish a founding principle, once and for all (though we will need frequent remi

I would like to share some thoughts about meditation. We will take it in stages. Firstly WHY Meditate (today), then WHAT is meditation, what is it’s essential nature, WHEN to meditate and then HOW to meditate. WHO is the meditator is also an interesting question which we can weave into our discussion. Please read this information slowly, let it sink in, if you don’t have time now wait till you do. The reason I ask this is if you are not practicing meditation regularly it’s be

The 3 Minds We are told that we have one body and one mind but actually we are ten in one; Soul, negative Mind, positive mind, neutral mind, physical body, arc line, aura, pranic body, subtle body and radiant body. I would like to give a brief introduction to our three minds. The Negative Mind The sub tractor. Negative ? the place the mind goes to first, the quickest, objective is to protect, looks for what might cause us harm. Essential for spiritual development since it is

It improves liver function. Turmeric also has been getting attention recently because of its antioxidant abilities. The antioxidant effect of turmeric appears to be so powerful that it may stop your liver from being damaged by toxins. This is good news for people who take strong drugs f

Beetroot for the Heart A recent study found that dietary nitrate, a compound that dilates blood vessels to decrease blood pressure, may reduce overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs with heart disease. The research team looked specifically at beetroot juice, a source of dietary nitrate, to explore its use as a future targeted treatment option for people with cardiovascular disease. The study, published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiolog
