I don't know how... I know I do now...

Hi A fine day to view the moon & Venus = subconscious wealth....
see it tonight just after sunset to the west...

We have been sharing "Find a target...,make a plan, KIV, follow your plan."

A friend of mine Kathryn Perry has shared how she went from barely enough monthly income to 3 times what she needed...

This is a great plan
listen to her radio show interview
& read her whole story of success within -Self Reliance
in her newsletter.

January's Command: From Kathryn Perry

I don't know how I easily create an abundant life;
I only know I do now and I am fulfilled!

from Kathryn Perry:

Many have asked what I did to go from a limited monthly income to 3 times that income the
very first month I launched out on my own. In addition to Commanding a new life
for myself, there was preparation, networking and business building skills I
developed that I 'd like to share with you now. Here are some of the high
points:

• While still working at my old
  job over the course of 18 months I promoted 3 classes for Asara Lovejoy.


• Gave introduction talks in my
  area to promote Asara’s events that demonstrated The One Command
  ® process and charged for the events.


• Promoted my services with a
  booth at three Holistic fairs.


• Began building an email list. I
  started with about 300 names collected from the promotional events and
  classes.


• Set up a regular schedule for
  Commanding Wealth Circles®
  which I held in my home.


• Became a One Command
  Practitioner.


• Offered 21 free 20 minute
  sessions to get my name known.


• Posted the offer on a yahoo
  social networking group.


• Received over 100 responses and
  many clients as a result.


• Met with clients weekly by phone
  or in person.


• Became certified to teach TWO
  classes:
  
  (The One Command
  Practitioner’s Certification, and The One Day -The One Command. You can
  do the same!)
  
  


• Paid for my training, hotel and
  airfare by PRE-SELLING the two classes that I taught.


• Had a total of 24 sign ups for
  both of the classes at $395 per attendee - you do the math.


• Set up a regular monthly
  rotation of classes.


• Continued my weekly schedule for
  private sessions.


• Sold phone sessions in small
  bundles that averaged $1 per minute then with a full roster raised my rates.


• Explored the benefits of "meetup" and started my own group with 175 people immediately signing
  up

OK, you can see how a solid plan was formed, each step was taken, and she has flourished all from within herself...

do read the rest of her story in her newsletter.

Polish your plan...
get some help...if you feel you need it..

Have a really great New Year - constructed by YOU !

Cherry Day

Cresent Moon & Bright Star...

Tomorrow is the Even of New Year - on our calendar...
really nothing astrological nor astronomical about it...

However we should see here in Dallas a beautiful Crescent Moon
and Bright Star = Venus really...

do look it for it just after sunset...

and appreciate the beauty....

Moon & Venus in Aquarius...

Got all the Peices?

Got your target?
Got your plan?
Got the pieces of your plan?
have you launched your plan?

KIV and go...

If not maybe you need some help...
check out the Radio Show for great interviews to help you...

All of these are covered in former post here in...
look in the archives...

If you need more on communications - like how to do it well...
check out the multi -day instructions...

Hey if nothing else give us a call...

Meditate on your right next move...

get into a comfortable position...
breath to relaxed an focused....
ask the Question - "What is my next best move?"
wait in silent focus for the answer...

it may come as a feeling, a vision, a thought, picture, or even a voice...

this way you can get all of the pieces and move ahead in strength...

Breathing the Universe...

stand with your legs about shoulder width apart...
or sit with your feet flat in a chair...
hold an imaginary soccer ball in your hands...

as you inhale feel you are breathing in the fresh universe,
maybe at sunrise, sunset or just the freshness of life...
feel this breath entering every cell of your body...
your hands are pulling apart like opening a bellows drawing in air...

Inhale = all cells inhale...

let them keep what they need, send a little along to the main battery of your body...
deep behind your navel and bit lower...

have each cell push out the waste products - back into the universe to be recycled...
as you exhale bring your hands back close together.

so your hands are moving rhythmically with your breathing and all your cells are breathing,
exhaling waste products - recycling...

your hole being begins to move, your spirit along with the body...

do this for 2 or 3 minutes, 5 or 20 enliven... enjoy the movement meditation...

2009 Predictions...

Wow I just listened to the '2009 Predictions'

Joni has combined her dreams, observations of nature - (Omens - good & poor),

and her Astrological analysis to really put 2009 - a tough year- into perspective...

The Iodine interview just before this one really has a way to kill pathogens in our systems...

and support our long-gevity.

Even mine: Cancer Investigation interview gives the basics of health ~you may not know;

as well.

New Moon Planning today...

remember:

Smile - a little, then share the smile

drink pure water... Joni will tell you why you may want to...

Run Run Reindeer...

If me, resting today would be the best....

Many run to Macy's for their best for less...

If you run, run, run, during a regular week,

take a break today, maybe a nap...

Move a little too, rebound, slow walk or fast,
roll around on the floor ~ what ever you can do...

Maybe massage your partner, then switch...
could be lotsa fun...

with all the peace this morning
a fine time to meditate on light to the world
try a few minutes of connecting to your source,
feeling the peace, the love, then radiate this out
to the millions who hunger for it...

Lotsa Love...

Hugs and Cheers...

PS: Feeling stuffed still?

Lighted Tree meditation...

Merry Christmas

do you love decorating?

I do, especially the tree.
I found one this year at Mikael's a $240 narrow tree in a pot for $49...
It looks so real ! I could add a bit of real pine under it for the fragrance too...

I am fortunate and so was one other person, who got the display tree...

We decorated it with love in each ornament we hung...
2 little red cardinals - 1 larger one..
Santas, reindeer, clear & colored glass balls, doves,
& I tied my first tree...

Just like I tied my first shoe... I had never tied a big bow before...
I did it I did it... Yea..simple accomplishments, can give great joy..

Now to appreciate this tree...

Tree Meditation:

I just sit in quiet or with Christmas music playing...
gazing at the tree...
Loves creeps up my spine, through my heart, in a out of my eyes...
I feel myself growing larger...
my aura expanding a little...
then exponentially...

And slips... right into meditation...
I feel as if I become the the tree
all decorated, radiating with the little lights glowing in all my cells,
my organs, all the pretty decorations...

me radiating this joy & peace to million distance friends...

Merry Christmas
Joyous Christmas

remember: Smile a little...
Share the Love....

Halo day...Hubble ~10

Merry Christmas to you and your family...

And to NASA credit be given.

May the light of the Christ surround you and yours
and radiating from with in your heart



The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.

Joining... Hubble day 9...

NASA gets the credits...

Like two space stations joining in space
or two celestial lovers:
each giving the other more light;
so 1+1= 888

Our individual consciouness joining with the Supreme Conscious I AM...

What so you see meditating on these with your inner eye open?

The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes... The nebula lies within our galaxy between 3,000 and 6,000 light years from Earth.

The Star Before them...Hubble day 8...

Credit to NASA

This one is so easy for me to meditate with...
to gaze on...
to just jump into it...
I can see why the wise men would travel great distances to follow a star....

Nebula NGC 2392, called 'Eskimo' because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood. The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet-shaped objects flying away from a dying star. Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth.

A Winter Cat....

Thank you NASA for this shot of the Cats' Eye Nebula...

Happy Inspiring meditation this first day of Winter...

It is 23 degrees here in North Dallas at the Addison airpot, we have power, heat and dark blue sky is revealing only a few clouds, windy and very cold for us Southerners... This gazing to me seems like a warm woom for higher creation... Everyone brings to meditaion their own path, what do you see , feel, hear, know? as you gently gaze into this nebula... a good desciption.

how could one begin to describe this? this is real ~exissting for hundreds of millions of years, (give or take a few :-) )

I can hear the primodial sound.... AAAUUUUUMMMMMM OM...

(you like my talk on chanting)

Candle in the sky... Hubble day 6

Ommmm

Happy Solstice Day...
~ the Sun will turn back towards us... (in the North) 'The Promise'

NASA ... salutations to man's possibilities...

The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away, has a 'pinched-in-the-middle' look because the winds that shape it are weaker at the center.

Celestial Manger....

The Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon). A Celestial Manger, NASA does it again -brings us photos of creation beyond imagination...

Breathless hue.. Hubble day 4

Oh my my my....An underwater Angel to meditate with,
words?
fail...
Hearts open...
A small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulfur and other elements'.

Enjoy...

Starry Starry Night....

Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting. It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way. Credit: NASA

All of us at the HolisticRadioShow.com wish all of you a safe & warm Holiday Season.
After you have eaten,
after you have your heat,
electricity,
Loved your kids good night...

Meditate, sharing a bit of your Love with the whole world...

Sharing ours with you...

Gods Eyes?...Holy days.2

Natures best.... Amazing eyes of the Heavens...

NASA gallery

The glowing eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.

It appears that Raphael has been painting here before Hubble could click this one...

As we meditate during these days of the HOLY Celebrations, we add our peace to the Worlds Peace...
We ad our Joy,
our Truth,
our Knowledge, our Bliss,
our riches,
our colors
to a gray world...

As we to connect to our inner creator, our High Self, our All knowing center,
through focusing inwardly...
We bring our gifts to ad to the Global Conscious Stream around our planet...

This will have a wonderful effect,
for even a little light in great darkness
will have a wonderful effect...

Just remember: those acting from fear are in the subconscious or barely conscious mode...
those who act from LOVE and mutual support for the common good are very conscious...
As light is so much more powerful:

Share your light this day:
~ focus
~connect
~radiate

Share your light in this coming year...
Happy gazing...

OM Shanti

Hubble Christmas 10 days...

HI this is the 10 days of Christmas meditation count down,
Day #1....

this is a wonderful picture to meditate on to me it appears as a large celestial butterfly...

Actually it is part of The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here, it is where new stars are being born.

These are part of the NASA gallery taken by the Hubble Telescope launched 18 years ago in 1990.

meditate on these images by gently gazing at them
sitting comfortably - back straight
breathing slowly & rhythmically, the amount will decrease as your concentration increases...
keep a note book near for journaling any thoughts you may have after your session...

I suggest a 20 minute session...

The Point....

The Center...

Focal point...

Somethings in nature just easily draw our attention, our focus...

Great! lets use them for increasing our focus...

deepening our meditations...

Over that last several days we've had the biggest, largest moon of the year...

Did you see it? Hold in your gaze? Move it into your heart?

Did you draw it? Photograph it? Color it? Paint it?

just stand there and drop your jaw?

Or did you just watch TV?

Choice is always yours...

For those that TV wasn't an option until the moon was taken in, played with...

I would like to offer some of the most spectacular natural focusing pictures I have seen.

None before - unless they could travel in space, have seen these views of the universe, as they were collected over that about the last 10- 15 years by NASA and Hubble telescope.

A yantra is a human drawn design to meditate on to focus the mind more easily.

The Tibetans monks use colored sand to create master pieces of this kind of art.

For them the meditation is in its physical creation:

~Collecting the proper sand, texture and all...

~the careful making of the sand in all of it's colors.

~planning or mapping what the sand painting will look like...

~the placing the sand in correct areas

~and then upon completion ~ it's destruction...

some yantras are woven into beautiful tapestries...

some of these are called Tankas...

Some are painted...

We will explore the natural ones ....

for today ~ Sunday

Find some beautiful natural object - maybe a flower...

and gently gaze on this flower, permitting the mind to think anything it likes about the flower...

the fragrance, texture, shape, feel, leaning, applications, color(s) gently bring the mind

back to the focal point

the the flower...

See the Point?

Prepare the way...

HOLY Days are coming,
Eid and Hanukkah celebrated soon...
Christmas, and the Solstice are near,
All of the major cultures celebrate something this time of year...

what are you doing for these holidays?

If nothing else, make one other person a bit happier...

But first make you self happier...
so then you will have some thing to really share - YOU ! :-)

You know what makes the happiest of everything that I can do?

Connecting with my higher self, just asking for my High Self to join us here for minute or two...
(oh, yea us...? you may ask)
yes
Me = the conscious one (most of the time anyway) the driver
Companion self ( has all the power, the emotions, memory, AKA subconscious,)
+ Companion self

However you see you self... get in alignment...connect with God , Great Spirit, Allah, what ever you may call this power,

bring the wonderful energy, love, chi, prana, knowledge, hope, Truth into and through your whole being...

Today - may be a good day to sit quietly and inwardly reflect on this connection.
Then with this connection decide how to best celebrate this Season

Cheery Connecting
Oh bubbly Joy & Bliss...

This hot ball is actually the Moon Rise over Dallas at about 5:40 Pm CST
It's a beauty to meditate on...
OMMMMMM.....

A better way...

Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead
...a message from Michael Moore


I really like what Michael has to say about this issue

Let me know what you think...

Ah the Full Moon Again...

Do you feel it?

Did you practice the gazing on it last eve?  Try tonight as well -
the Moon rise this evening should be gorgeous...

I feel some of the full moons - others I don not.
some feel like hot steamy, windless summer evenings, and I hang on...

Until the relief I can feel about 2 hours after the actual full moon...

There are times when Ideas to write or do a radio show series are so strong,
the few days before a Full Moon, that when I don't act on them...
I find the drive and interest to do them wanes with the moon...

So timing is a Master key here.

If you can regroup, plan, organize, stage etc. a project during the waning fortnight of the moon.

then implement these on the rise of the moon it is easy...

But who can - with focus and intent you can KIV (KEEP IN VIEW)

most cant'... it is those few who stand out and above the rest who can...

(OK- do I have too?)
no, Paramahamsa Yogananda intentionally asked his astrologer friends to pick the worst time to start a project...
That would be the time that he began. He wanted to demonstrate his will power, Focus to do a thing...

so enjoy the moon.

Take good notes of your thoughts, observe your feelings.
Hight is about 10:30 Am this CST morning in Dallas...

Happy Holidays, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Eid or Ramadan, Solstace ~ or yours !
I Celebrate with you all...  

Big Full Moon rise

This is Dallas moon rise at 5 PM CST...

Giant Full Moon...

Above: In 2004, Greek amateur astronomer Anthony Ayiomamitis photographed an apogee Moon and a perigee Moon, and set the images side by side to show the difference.
Full Story & Credit.

If you like look a the moon rise around sunset time tonight... This is the closest the moon will be to us this year... tomorrow night moon rise - at sunset will be a bit later and may be more beautiful...
Even at midnight the moon over head will be brighter and larger...

Full moon is in 21 Gemini and Sun in 21 Sagittarius... a good time to see farther into your path, and incorporate new pieces into your dream target...

So do see the beauty, note your dreams...
The energy begins today at noon lasts through Saturday at noon...

Simplify...

Simplicity is a great help...

We make things so very complicated today..

cell phone, SMS (text messaging), bills, layoffs, keeping bank records,
ballancing a check book, knowing what is wrong with our cars,
anticipating it and fixing it before it breaks down...

yea gads...

so build a little every day towards your target... your goal

do what you need to do today and tomorrow will take care of itself.

My Grandfather was an High School Automotive teacher...
My Grandmother worked in the post office.
3 girls...

They always had wonderful food on the table, all through the depression.

do you work for Enron? How would you know? 
Do you work for Toyota? or GM? 

If you do good work is your company doing the same?

you may need find a better company or do your own work...

If the service you do for others is needed, useful, practical,  consistent, and bit more...
you will always have work.

so as you work well during the day, take the time for balanced living too...

proper

diet (air & water too)
exercise
breathing
relaxation
Positive thinking and meditation....

Planning can be mediation

meditation can fill in the holes in your plan...

if you need to see someone but don't know who...

try this:

sit comfortably,
do 3 breaths

ask who do I need to see or who can help with this situation etc....

and then send the request up in a elevator in your mind or a bank case from the drive up window...

then calmly wait in silence until it comes back down to you..

Open it up  -who is there?  what is there? -- go see them....or do the thing...

The Cave...

the Hide out...

it was called in the old westerns...

A good place to go when you have to think...

or if you feel crummy ...

Go hand out for a while....

this could be a room or some else's, room, a cabin
or just your bed.

keep the peace around you...

then come back stronger...

This is sort of like an exhale and relax and recharge...

Ah, a technology place are the Bose Noise canceling headphones, others make them too.

You can meditate this way as well in a little silence or with nice music...

Cheery Day...

Fog Clearing...

Yellow glasses = see in foggy weather...

Yellow headlights, too.

Skiing in a blizzard? = yellow glasses....

Monday morning? (ugh, again?)

Look into the eyes of your partner, gently gaze for 4 or 5 minutes
just sitting in silence, both gazing gently...

And feel
And see

the fog clear...

You may need 20 minutes...

Focus will come gently....

No partner handy? Use a mirror...

Listen in to our shows: www.HolisticRadioShow.com

Over the top...

Fill a 6 ounce glass to the brim with water.
Carrying it your hand, walk a 100 yards with out spilling a drop.

This is focus.

This is a skill.

This exercise will help to quiet the Monkey mind and show how much a Monkey it is...

Try this early in the morning on Sunday when no one else is around on a foot ball field.
Then when you think you have mastered it:
Try it during the week morning when others are around running the track, power walking etc., etc., etc....(Yule Brenner, "King & I" respected ;-) )

Then try it when the high school foot ball team and band are practicing... well I guess you'd better do it then on the sidelines...

If you get really good at it, trying riding a bike - pick a safe area, or better, walk down the midway of a County or State fair, or through a flea market... you get the idea...

Build your focus ability; this is a trainable skill, like riding a bike, flying a plane or glider.
Focus is your laser to success. Ever focused the sun's rays through a magnifying glass and started a piece of paper a flame? Warmth vs power...

In New Mexico - I think is the location- is a massive solar collector -Ah yes, see one of the James bond Movies with this too, a tower on which is focused the sun from many reflective dishes, which is used to create electricity. These dishes track the sun all day - computer controlled to keep focus on two things at the same time - the tower and the dish.

Try this water-in-glass exercise with it filled over the top:
have you heard of a meniscus? It is caused by the surface tension of water.
Cooks know that the bottom of the meniscus needs to be at the 1/2 cup mark if that is the correct measurement of the fluid to be added in the recipe.

Surface tension is a property of water that a surfactant or a "soap" is added to break this tension so that your laundry for example will be cleaned better. It is actually the water that does the cleaning - not the soap...

Keep the tension here, over fill the glass, so the water is actually over the top, and still stays in the glass... just a little over.

Now try these exercises - let me know how it goes for you...
Your focus at work and play will become 'Over the top'

Cheery Day..

Butterflies...

Black & yellow, Iridescent greens
and blues,

small ones, Large Ones,
pink ones too.

Red flowers, white flowers, orange ones and blue...

I love to watch the butterflies sip...
'an dip...
Don't you?

What a wonderful meditation, butterfly gazing...
but unless you live in the remote mountains of southern Mexico, and few hidden places in the out backs of the coastal mountain ranges in California -
You will need to observe these beauties in your mind...

Can you do this? See the butterflies flutter in you mind... dancing from flower to pause a bit and sip... and then to another, and more?

This is a good meditation practice...doing it inside is even more powerful than using your site.
Takes a bit more focus and gentle discipline...

Take anything you like and see it inside...

You may like to have a friend or pro who can actually see auras - observe your's while you go into this practice ~
then after you have completed this playful exercise let you know what they saw...

Play with these things. God loves to play too...

Smile a little... an share one;... too :-)

Om...

the natural vibration of the whole universe in the sound we know as 'OM'
In sanskrit which means the language of the Gods...it is spelled and pronounced A U M and 'a' like father, 'u' like ummmm, 'm' like mommmm...

John begins by in the beginning was the word...
from the primal vibration comes all sound, thought, life ~ no it is life force itself or the sound of the vibrating life force...

Meditation on the sound of Bumble bee's wings or hearing OM in silence is very powerful. Some use OM on the inhale and 'MA' on the exhale.

if you use Om on both, have it flow like oil pouring gently and smoothly,
just Isak Perelman when his bow changes directions on sustained note with no perceptible sound change....

then in this continuous flow you become the universe and
Sat = existence or Truth
Chit = knowledge - primal knowledge of all things ~spontaneous knowing
Ananda = bliss - the elixir absolute... pure joy liquid flowing through all cells of your body and astral body....

Meditate some on 'OM' or 'AUM' you may like the heart center to focus this in
or some may prefer the Third eye...

When I connect my companion self and we invite our High Self to join with us there is the tingling of the spine, as it snaps straight up, and
an indecsribable joy - this i feel is Ananda = pure bliss...

It comes not from another but in another you may connect to your high Self or God as you personally have come to know this connection.

The American Indians called this Great Spirit...

"Inquire who am I
and be free...
you will soon attain immortality..."

Swami Shivananda singing...

OM,
Shalom,
Amen,
Ameen

Interested? ...

Focus can get boring to a restless mind...

Onions, garlic, fried foods, hot spices, erotic stories etc can inflame the passions and cause the mind to wander.

Over ripe foods, decaying foods, alcohol, fermented foods (except sauerkraut & and Apple cider vinegar -both raw and unpasteurized ) can make the mind sleepy. Same with over eating.

If these are all in relative balance - if you are a hard worker eat garlic, onions, tea, hot spices and develop an interest in
passionate endeavors. Maybe Polo or horse jumping, working out, running, sex with a spiritual twist... something that will focus the mind.

When one falls in love - you don't want to eat, you can only think of the beloved ~ right !  Such powerful focus this is...
In the 'Conscious Art of Loving' the Muir s describe a life full of love focused on each other.

Maybe you want to take up archery, or martial arts, chi gong, tai chi or baseball (with out drugs).

Golf is excellent as it is all about focus...

Perhaps you would enjoy the fine art of perfumery, or flower arraigning.

As you gain some mastery of your main goal, that you are on the journey of creating now, add some more interests

things that do just that keep your:

Interest
(this advise is not the same one living in retreat, meditating and not working - different instructions are needed here)

Living the Dream...

Since there is only 'NOW',

& Your Dream you are traveling towards,
is the journey creating this beauty, this Dream.

You are 'there' ~ right now...

The Journey of creating the Dream is part of the Dream...

(many miss this point- it is mega misunderstood- I think that TV ads of a new pain and its relief in 30 seconds misleads on this point) (( I mean, it did take the almighty 6 whole days - she was so worn out she had to rest for a full day :-) ))

There may be unexpected rocks or boulders or even mountains & planets on along the way (Lions & Tigers & Bears...)
~~causing new strategies and employing new methods and plans to "go where no man has gone before"...

This is all part of your dream - may be just unplanned for;

OK, So just re set up your plan --
If you fall down, get up - great secrete of life...

The plan is not the DREAM- but part of it.

Mysterious Un planned help will show up from time to time as well...

When you set a dream on paper, put your thoughts and energy into it; you energize it.

(Did you know that you are required to energize the money that is printed by the USA government - or its hirees? Yep, it isn't negotiable until you - a citizen, touches it
- that is why the huge national debt exists - they print it and you have to accept it as real before it is real so if you, by proxy, accept the debt it is real...)

When you activate your dream, and get others (only appropriate ones who will support you in its creation) to see it and set their energy into your Dream...
Telepathically it goes out to the universe.

And the universe responds...

I set a dream a motion to live in a certain Condo society on a certain street in Dallas.
Every time I drove by there for about 11 years I saw myself living there.

Now, through a long series of events, like relationship changes, financial changes etc., etc, I do live there... I didn't even set a plan, just the intention and the energy.

Wow what would have happened if I had put in a plan into action?

So be open for surprises... some welcome, some not so...

Remember to take the time to enjoy your Dream as you are living it already-

as You are Living the Dream... (right... now)


oh yea one more little bitty thingy:
if you haven't activated your Dream Only wishing for it....
guess what???????

You're living in your Dream as well ... just in the failed to plan stage...
You can change this...

More soon ~

Ah heck -- when you do finish creating one Dream , & its all built?
what do you do?

Create another Dream ! Activate it and begin its creation journey...
the journey is part of the Dream...

Cheery Day.

Meditation on the sound of Bumble bee's wings or hearing OM in silence is very powerful. Some use OM on the inhale and 'MA' on the exhale.

if you use Om on both, have it flow like oil pouring gently and smoothly,
just Isak Perelman when his bow changes directions on sustained note with no perceptible sound change....

then in this continuous flow you become the universe and
Sat = existence or Truth
Chit = knowledge - primal knowledge of all things ~spontaneous knowing
Ananda = bliss - the elixir absolute... pure joy liquid flowing through all cells of your body and astral body....

Meditate some on 'OM' or 'AUM' you may like the heart center to focus this in
or some may prefer the Third eye...

When I connect my companion self and we invite our High Self to join with us there is the tingling of the spine, as it snaps straight up, and
an indecsribable joy - this i feel is Ananda = pure bliss...

It comes not from another but in another you may connect to your high Self or God as you personally have come to know this connection.

The American Indians called this Great Spirit...

"Inquire who am I
and be free...
you will soon attain immortality..."

Swami Shivananda singing...

OM,
Shalom,
Amen,
Ameen

Sometimes Beauty...

Is right in front of you:

Meditation on this flower
would be easy, for me...

Do you have a favorite one?

You may like to use one for gazing and meditation...
Just keep your mind gently on any detail of the flower... the colors, the fragrance, the lighting, and so on...

Keep on enjoying the flower and the unexpected beauty around us...

Cheery day..

Natural Beauty....

Moon, with Venus and Jupiter:

all around the world people were watching this today...

It is amazing how marvelous nature is and the site is both inspiring, meditative...

here's a view earlier this evening from my place:

Take the Step...New Moon

Create perspective
Stuck?
Get away from what you are doing
Give it a break...
Go on a road trip,
Sail around for a few weeks or months
go for a nice hike in the wilderness

do what you need by "Be Prepared"...

the Sanskrit Masters showed us how to develop Master of Focus.
Use this focus to raise higher in consciousness.
They taught Moderation...

the movie "into the Wild" is cinematically beautiful...
great acting, a heart warming story of searching.
But also a lesson in hard hardheadedness, and stubbornness.

The main character has the target - Alaska,
he thinks he's prepared, because he has read about how to survive,
even gotten instructions from a Jerky making master.

But he failed in his farther target because he failed to apprentice under a Master.

Take a lesson from this movie. My friend Meso Fine at
http://8beams.blogspot.com/ discussed the power of
Perseverance and Consistency yesterday on his blog.

Our Character in this movie had these.
He just missed the step of not re-inventing the wheel.

The Sanskrit Master of Yoga who gave every instruction imaginable,
even state where to and where not to, and how to build your Mut or
reclusive home to practice yoga in, "on the instructions of your teacher"

One in particular stands out --don't build your Mut at the base of high cliff
(rocks may fall on you) or on the bank of a river (it may flood) etc.
Practical advise.

OK practical advise: if you have your target clearly established, your plan made, your resources
assembled, this New Moon , now is the time to launch your journey.

If not study under a master and learn something, make some money, save some money, meet people, and build your list of friends and acquaintances; nurture these friends.

Keep this up until you know your own path...

Or take a break if you have no family responsibilities. Be practical, easy way to traverse this planet.

As you practice your meditation - and you get stuck try something different.
Keep the same time of day and maybe go for a walk.
silent walk in nature maybe ..
Synchronize your breathing with your slow steps, perhaps inhale 3 steps - exhale 3 steps.
hear the silence, breath the silence, and view the wonders of Nature around you..

Maybe a sensual meditation:
Gently, ever so softly rub your partners back, stomach or legs, feeling your energy emerge from your fingers and palms 2 - 4 inches inside their body. Take 3 - 5 minutes to rub up the whole spine or leg, keep your focus on your partner...

Have some fun today...

Cheery Day.

Hear you on the show: www.HolisticRadioShow.com

Sun rise...

Same time and place...
Every day the sun rises
every day a little different place 1degree change and that is all, sometimes even less.

It moves from the farthest south point at the December Solstice around the 21 rst symbolizing the begining of winter. All major religions have celebrations at this time of year.

The ancient astronomers - (actually the were all astrologers until about 200 years ago..)
were up daily at sun rise, in the same place, tracking the suns position and recording it.

When practicing meditation it is very beneficial to do so at the same time and place.
This time may be based on the sun or the clock.

The anients used the sun for a clock. The animals all got up just before sunrise and so did the farmers to milk cows and more farm duties. The best time of day for meditaion was Brahma muhurta about 1 hour before sunrise - I find the hour before dawn to be one of the best - but you will find yours.

Why? well regularity becomes a habit. The mind will slowly come to know that now is the time to be quiet - just like a child knows a strict bed time if the parents enforce it correctly.

so with mind quiet, and the sleep patterns regular also, you will deepen your meditaion very easily.

Greetings to the all Pervading Light of Tuth of Knowledge, of Love, (or your particular path.)

Cresent Moon and bright stars to the south west...

OH, What a wonderful few days ahead to view the Shiva Moon ~ a crescent moon +

Venus the evening star &
Jupiter the Santa Star...

With Sag rising on the horizon when I was born in apple country,
Jupiter is the ruler of my chart.

These two great planets are the ones of Increase, Joy, money, and grace...

What a wonderful way to bring in the Advent season.

If you can see them.. view them in the southwestern sky a little after sunset,
as the darker blues of evening covers, pulling the blanket of stars.
Try looking Saturday eve ~ Sunday Eve sunset should be the best time to view, Monday it will have passed ~ though still wonderful to see at Sunset...

This change of time from Day to night or early am from night to day are special times for mediation.
Though difficult to day for commuters. if you can find a comfortable semi deserted parking lot and the way home...

siting comfortably & inwardly silent, observe the change from sunset to moon, and planets brightly shining.
As the moon symbolizes our feminine self or the reflective self or the subconscious self,...
be specially observant of dreams, even day dreams and listen more to feelings rather than thoughts.

& of course Smile a little... :-)

Wild Turky...

Happy Thanksgiving...

A great day to count our blessings and see how we are doing...
You know the cup 1/2 full or 1/2 empty...

The Turkey -

The Original Thanksgiving Turkey was a wild turkey ~a very smart bird; wild ones don't stand around getting fat in the rain and drown like the farm raised ones, purportedly do.

Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey as the official bird for our new nation - not a bird of prey.

So as you are doing your thanksgiving meditation today, focus on your qualities, note any that are like the farm raised turkey ...

And take steps to more like the Wild Turkey = smart, fast, lean, colorful when needed camouflaged when not, and vegetarian :-)

Have a wonderful Thanks giving...

Greetings to your higherside !

OK the meditation?
a- sit quietly, maybe outside like in this perfect Dallas day ~the hight of the Fall color in the trees...
alough you mind to explore what you like about yourself, the things you did that you like, things thankfull you did.
b-next when they arise or come into view - note the things you didn't like about yourself, or that you didn't do ie: I could have taken 30 seconds and stopped to help that hobbling lady get up the steps... what ever - make a note of them.

Oh, how to change our habits?
Ah, yes

1- Awareness - what are the habits? to find out look at the outcomes you are producing.
2- KIV what are the outcomes you want? Keep In View the outcome i.e.: put a 3x5 card with 135 #'s written on it, stand on it daily - when you get up and just before bed, and see it there.
3- make a plan, go to weight watchers if you need a plan...etc.
4- Follow the plan
5- KIV ~ check your progress with your outcome
6- Make adjustments to get step by step to your outcome. You can use the rubber band on the wrist and snap it when you take the bite of chocolate cake, if you need too :-)
keep the punishment very light, in moderation.

Go with the pain...

Most of us do anything to avoid pain...
take drugs, drink alcohol, and more...

A horse is different. If it moves away from pain it could bet much worse...
what ?  think about it.

A horse is very likely to be attacked by a bear or a large cat.
if it pulls away it would tear a bigger hole in its hide..

So, the horse moves into pain...
and sometimes can release it.

We are the same, we have to face our painful situations in life, with consciousness and understanding.

If we can do this we more often than not will release the pain that has been built up in there~ maybe for a long, long time....

A sometimes we need professional help.

One person who has developed her own method via higher guidance is
my co host on the www.HolisticRadioShow.com and her book and interview could be useful.
There are several others as well, Dr Pam Garcy, Ron K Schneider, and others.
look them over, listen in and see which warm your heart.

If you have pain - it's the bodies way of letting you know something is wrong.
Please don't just poke out or disconnect the "check engine" light - with drugs...
find out what it may be.

If you need help we are here to help point the way...

Cheery day.

The Wheel turns...

Another Monday..

what to do? Drag yourself to work? lets see what is wanted of me?

or ...Wow another day !.. What can I create today?

Either way ~ or another..the wheel turns...

Saturn is the great time keeper, Samara the wheel of birth and death..

What ever day, whatever time it may be it is always 'NOW' there is no other time.

Sow what you want to create 'NOW' and soon now will contain a grown harvest...

OK, lets meditate ~ go into the silence, connect with your higher self - pure bliss

then in that daily reunion, just glow and listen...

What to do for you 'NOW' may come or it may come latter.

For me it arrives as a little birdie, softly chirping, and I get a message...

Find Arlene Kellman, DO

She and I worked together at the LA yoga center back in 1972, She became a Doctor of Osteopathy.
I met her again in Santa Fe when she was interning. Now we haven't connected in 20 years ~ just to long.
So the little birdie said ~ say hi to her. so I am on the path to that...

What are you creating today? This week? 

KIV = keep in view

then the boss's and family and friends wants can be keep in perspective and in priority, and doing your creations in a timely manner will bring you closer to own desires, and goals in this 'NOW"...

happy travels..

Little Birdie...

When the little birdie sings in your ear using a soft voice...

~Do you hear it?

As you gain proficiency in meditation, your intuition will become clearer. Or maybe with the other noises of your mind quieted you can hear it for the first time.

Be sure to write it down, mega successful folks carry a little notebook just in case.
Then either delegate the goodies or act on them your self.

You'll be surprised at what will come.

When you start recoding these ideas, and celestial to do list, the trickles will become streams, the streams will become rivers of ideas.

These often magnify the goals you are working on, even aiding in their attainment.

Listen & write:

Enjoy your new prosperity...

Beat the drums...

Johnny Cash sang "beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly..." and touched the hearts of his audience. He further made his most popular album at the Folsom Prison, where the experts said it would it would never sell. Listen to the drums on this album...

Drumming is one the oldest and first thing a human does. Give a kid a spoon and few lids see what happens ! Rhythm moves us, captivates the both body and mind.

This is a great focus tool.
You may play on, listen to, or dance with them.
Drum circles are wonderful to create with a collective consciousness.
'Sweat your prayers' in Austin, TX was (is?) a great group of meditative free style dancing and a few drummers.

I hosted a 'Tansen' or a master of sound Swami Nada Brahmananda, a classically trained Indian musician. He could make sound come from his body, even when all openings were sealed by very strong men. He could play very intricate tabla passages for 2ce as long in an air tight box that a monkey could last before it passed out. Samiji was a true master of sound in all it's forms. This mastery took great focus and dedication. One of his teacher go so frustrated with him as a young student that the teacher drove a table tuning hammer into his femur.

I am not that kind of a teacher.
I do hope you are that dedicated of a student.

Now to focus -
play the drum with steady beat, then learn intricate beats. Indian music for example has many more rhythm patterns than Western music.
All this applies to playing any instrument as well.

try this beat one , pause and 2 pause, and 3 pause and 4 do over.
then double it in the same measure of time frame:
1, 2, 3, 4, 1,2,3,4

the double that again, start over...
this is about control and focus.

Another way, play the drum and hum or sing even so the cats run away...
play your heart out, sing this way with great devotion... if you like.

Another path is to just create a rhythm you like, and let it carry you into peaceful meditation, keeping up the drumming.

So beat the drum, enjoy day, be creative...

Breath the Universe:

Now you should be sailing into port carried by the tide, effortlessly...exhaling.

time to recharge and set out a few goals for next week toward your long range goals...

Breathing the Universe...

Building the chi

sit stand or lay keeping your arms comfortable free.

Begin with your palms facing each other with fingers outstretched, hands apart.

Can you feel the warmth of the other palm though space?

Now slowly and comfortably inhale and move your hands apart using the elbows.
Feel you are drawing in energy - sparkling energy into every cell of your body.

Exhale slowly and comfortably, bringing hands back close together -not touching as you began.
Feel that the energy is sweeping the stale energy, the toxins out of the cells and back into the universe, to be recycled.
The extra energy you brought in this breath goes into the chi collector just below the navel. This is our battery.

We are like submarines - we need to surface, breath fresh air, and recharge out batteries.

Just remember there is not 'bad energy' just energy in the wrong place. 
Get out the stagnant CO2 rich air and bring in the O2 rich air... the plants like the CO2 and give us the O2 ~
amazing isn't it...

the universe contains all the vitamins and minerals we need, some feel they obsorb enough just from the air, and from a meditative state.

We know we can get the good air in and eliminate bad air and toxins, how much more are we really doing?

Breath the universe.  Re chart your course, and plan out great things for the week end too...

Hone the edge...

Wow almost Friday...
Monday we planned the week
daily we KIV (keep in view the goals)

mediate daily to increase focus...

keep the Veering Disease from the door...

OK, Today...

Draw a little picture or get elaborate and do a collage

This is one that represents your large -'where you want to be picture'
and the weeks end  ~  where you want to be.

Place this on your desk
computer, car dash, over your bed so you can see it first thing when you wake up
and last thing you see before you go off to sleep...

This is a form meditation the KIV !  Keep it in the view of the subconscious or
your companion self...

Cheery day...

Hugs your self !

Hug another too

remember

smile ~ a little...

Twirl

Feel the breeze...

Feel the warm sun...

Early morning misty, clearing.

Gentle stretching...

Smile a little...

begin twirling slowly at first...

feel the sensations...

twirl for 2 -5 -10 - 20 minutes

feel and meditate...or focus your mind gently on these

sensations....

Feel the unity of all life.

untwril slowly. spend 2-3 minutes slowing down...

then you'll be stable when you very slowly stand still once again.

Feel the presence of the breath flowing through all life....

Cheery Day...

Follow through...

You set up your week yesterday, and again today.
Now meditate on the silence,

listen to the silence for 5 minutes

well silence is peace it is between the cars going by, the people voices, etc.

easier to hear about 1 - 2 hours before sunrise and the feelings are stronger then as well.

so practice in the early morning and then you'll know how to hear it at other times during the
day as well.

Why?

Silence is how we hear our higher inner voice.
Our minds must be silent inside - not the usual chatter.
You can see the bottom of a slow moving clear creek but not
the bottom of a turbulent one.

In this silence are the answers to how we can accomplish our goals and get our wants fulfilled.

Silence is Gold, Silence is the Peace that Paseth all understanding..

It goes above the minds capabilities...

Nicoli Tesla was just walking along as a young man in Budapest (I believe) and it just came to him a picture of the electric motor that universally used today in everything from sump pumps to electric Cars & trains.  He actually drew a picture of it in the dirt to show his friend.

This came from listening to the silence.

Marcel Vogel went into meditation to find the solution to how to stick the electronic media on to computer disks for IBM.  In the silence he got his answer of using molasses in certain way and the rest is history...

What will you find in the silence?

listen in...

and then do you list of things on your to do list....
Surprises may come unexpectedly. 

Cheery Day...

KIV

A new Week for many office goers, sales folks etc.

Please KIV keep in view what you want to work on
both professional and personal.

KIV Keep In View....

Write down all the things you do want to do
then pick the 7 to day today...

Carry over to tomorrow what you don't get to today.

Cheery Day

KIV

Meditate ~ Investigate

Meditation is a wonderful path but what is it?

We cannot describe the state of sleep but if you go into it you will know.
We can only describe ways that may help to get you there...
soft clean sheets, turn off the lights, comfortable pillow and matters, quiet, fresh air etc...

Meditation is the same - it is in the tasting of the Orange we 'know' what it is...

Investigate if you hear strange noise in the night you go out to see what it may have been...
your mind is focused on the situation by asking inner questions...

what was that?
- Ice dropping a rock? No...
- A dog barking? No...
- Child laughing? No...

You keep on asking these questions like lightning sorting to find a known sound, looking around for possible clues. you are very Focused and your are keeping the situation in View and you know your outcome.

CSI is very popular on TV we love solve a problem, piece together a puzzle, figure out a recipe, how to build this or that...

So lets use this natural inquisitiveness of the mind for meditation...

Observe something that interests you - a colorful bird, and ant, car, doll, house, body shape, flower, whatever....

While observing it let your mind think only of anything at all to do with the object and gently keep it there, binging it back with another question about the object or subject.

See if you can focus on the object for 2 minutes, then 5, the 8, then 10 can you get to 20 minutes? 1 hour?

Jana Yoga begins with the question Who am I?
the body? NO... it is not permanent.
Then mind.. No it changes...

This is the Netti - Netti method or Not This - Not This...
very powerful and seems to be using our natural investigative inquisitiveness...

See my talk on chanting on the

I am that I am

Yes you are and what do say you are? That is what you are ~ What you believe you are...

I am that I am
I am that I am...

I am neither mind nor body
Immortal self I am
I am witness of 3 states
I am knowledge absolute.

I am coolness in the ice
Wave in the radio
Highness in Mountain
Warming in the Sun.

I am that I am
I am that I am
I am that I am
I am that I am....
~ Swami Shivananda

Today's mediation:

Sit, lay or stand comfortably. Breath slowly, smiling a little.
As you breath in hear inside your say inside to yourself
"I am or I am or So"
then as you exhale say or hear inwardly:
"he (or she) or That I am or Hum"

or together ' I am he or I am that I am or SO Hum ...

Think today on the qualities of everything you see, and that you are the the essence of the thing.

Say you walking the garden and see beautiful flower - think about you being the fragrance of the flower.
Or you view a spectacular home, think I am the creativity that architect - the inspiration itself.

You may think that you are desirability of butter on the toast!

Anything you do this with.

Outcomes:
Gain more respect for all life
more of a feeling of oneness with all
let other shine more where you may have needed to ~ i.e. let another speak what you are feeling inside and they get the credit...

feel the breath of life flowing in all things.

Aloha (A = God lo=flowing Ha = breath ) I see the breath of life flowing through you.
Howlie = Hawaiian for one who has no breath... whiteess - neat concept

Cheery day
come see us www.HolisticRadioShow.com

Chocolate Cake... Meditate...

Ah the best I have found anywhere in Dallas area is at the Stone Brier Mall in Frisco.
there's a little place in there buy the check out stand across from the bookstore
which holds it in its cool windowed vaults. Many choices the fudge one with chocolate
icing holds #1 in my opinion ~~Ask for extra whipped cream... I like it to go...

Wow that was wonderful...

This meditation can be done while alone or if you think you have some real strength:

Go to your favorite place. Make the purchase. Sit in a wonderful place like a table in the mall
near the water fall fountain or with the beautiful flowers and even ad the dimension of smelling the
cake. Gazing at the cake. Touching the cake.  Just don't eat it...

Inhale with slowly and deeply the whole chocolate aroma, the subtleties of the whipped cream...

keep this up for 5 minutes then give the dish away to a stranger...

2~ actually eating it meditation:

do all of the above for 5 minutes or up to 20 minutes is better.
then take one small bite and let it just totally melt in your mouth, about 3 minutes .

do this for 3 bites. 

between each bite do the smelling seeing meditation for about 5 minutes minimum too.

The whole idea is to gently keep your jumping monkey mind focused on the cake.

doing all of this will make wander many times to other things...

just gently keep refocusing back on the chocolate.

Increase your focus time gently , and daily...


Cheery Day.

We have to hypnotize...

Release Tension -Quyickly

Would you like to feel much better in just 5 minutes?
how about that short break every couple of hours at you office from that desk?

The simplest is a rebounder, or mini trampoline, just bounce very gently for 5 minutes

Wow!  How can feel so much better?

well:

~you just flushed your inner sewer, your toilet, (What?)
   Yep your lymph system caries away all of the waist from the cells so it can be eliminated.
   When it is blocked you feel crummy, just like a highly cluttered room makes you feel especially when you are receiving more deliveries = where to put it???

another method of this is to heal tap...

place your hands against the wall with your feet out about 2 -3 feet.
gently raise you heals and drop them. do this for 6 - 30 x' s gently.
the bottoms of the feet have connections to all the body (as do you outer ears)
these reflex points will stimulate energy flow to all of the body..

Ok helps your focus
to feel better

get more oxygen in (life flow)

listen in www.HolisticRadioShow.com

Recoil

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

How do you handle it?

If you give something to someone who needs it and can't give it back you, and you give without expectation of it coming back to you,
usually you will feel much better than you did before you gave.

Well we know this. but what about when someone puts you down? Yells at or criticizes you? Especially for their personal gain?

I feel like crud, maybe you do too.

Well a famous swami I studied did what the good book said do good in return for a bad one done to you.

One so called yogi put him down in public because his ego was hurt by this swami's true selflessness:
When seekers came with gifts of fruit they would ask the least around "who is the best swami here? the most holiest? and these meek souls would say Swami Shivananda" that cut down on the fruit gifts to these pompous yogis who keep it for them selves. Swami Shivananda didn't keep any of the fruit ~ he would distribute it all, especially the sick ones.

So when put down verbally in public by the pompous yogis - he just keep quiet. then latter when the Mr pompous yogi was out he would enter his little place and clean it up for him...

So how do you recoil when you are insulted?

so we have a chance to act in a proper manner and we have a chance to react in an appropriate manner the choice is ours. It is always our choice to decide how we feel and think about any subject...

We have to practice and we have to fail, and laugh about it and try again to get it right.

KIV = Keep in view.

what is the outcome that we want?

Once we know this we can make better choices.

Peace

Peace

Good morning :-)

Are you Smiling a little?

Great...

Do nothing ...

How about a day to just do nothing?

In our western world we are bombarded by everything...
Radiation from radio, TV, modems, Cell phones, 120 volt house wiring, computers, electrical fields from our cars engine and on and on...

TV is constantly grabbing our attention for the adds and sexual innuendos, email adds etc.
when you go outside to walk we have our ipods too...

For heavens sake ( to really relax and re-energize - no not with redbull etc.. :-) )
Give your body a break...

and on the 7th day he rested....

try a sensory fast - really a sesnory slow...

This site is all about focus - the Eye of the Tiger- watch a tiger hunting = focus
tiger and lions depend on their hunting skills.
We depend on our ability to focus.

So try a day of Peace.
~Go for a slow walk in silence and listen to natures sounds.
~Many like to fish -lots of focus here -if you can leave the beer alone.
~Lay in a grassy field and view the clouds or play the cloud game - make them disapear just by you focusing on them.
~Lay in hammock under the trees.
~Try keeping silence all day and just observe the world - not the TV -
~Get a grat massage.
~Sit in the sun
~Float on a raft in a lake, or the Ocean -
~My favorite is to float around snorkling, observing natures wonderous colors and life forms, with only the sound of my breathing and the waves.
(Oh yes, stay out of Chlorine and Bhromine pools and hot tubs)

The real trick to all of this of course is to:
"Doing inaction in Action not Action in InAction"

This is called by yogis: Karma Yoga or the Yoga of Acion.

Keep your mind in observing mode not monky chatting mode..
When you find you mind commenting and talking and analyzing
just notice this and remember to go silent once again.
~This of course takes lots of gentle practice - not forcing the mind...
just observing the mind and remembering to go back to caulm and quiet...

Focus or KIV = Keep In View

avoids the # disease and cause of failure today in all area of life:
Vering Disease = going off track.

So practice of Day of Peace and re-energize.

Cheery Day.

Ok now that you have an idea of what energy is..

How to gain more energy?

1- Stop doing things that rob energy
~ dead food that takes rather than gives energy
~ avoid too much stress and too much exercise

2- Increase energy
~ eat more live food
~ do efficient exercise
~ learn to relax
~ get enough sleep

3- Proper elimination
~ make sure you are regular
- eat more fiber
- see Herbdoc.com for details
~ get the by products of digestion out
- flush your system each morning
with 2 lemons in 10 -16 ounces of water first thing,
then wait 1/2 hour before any other food or drink...

Ok, we'll explore those basics in coming posts.

Here's one to start with ~

A - basic breathing:

1-exhale comfortably

2-then inhale comfortably, slowly, smoothly about 3/4 full

3-Hold your breath for a count of 3 or 4 - comfortably

4-then slowly exhale. be gentle

repeat this 10 times...

You will have more mental energy, more peace & focus,
be more relaxed, and ready for more of you are doing.

Cheery Day

more tomorrow.

Energy, Prana, Chi...

What is Energy, Prana, Chi ?

They are the same meaning, but what are they?

The quark in quantum physics is like spark that shows up,
from somewhere. It is said to be light.

I am not this body
~ This body is not mine
I am not this mind
~This mind is not mine.

I am witness of 3 States
~ Knowledge absolute...
I am that I am ... I am that I am...
--Swami Shivananda in beautiful chant...

Yogis know that we are really

Sat Chit Annanda

Sat is Truth (for poor translation)

Chit is Knowledge Absolute (same)
~This is the quark ~ the divine spark
~ Consciousness itself

Ananda means bliss...

Energy is everything as everything vibrates & moves
~only nothing is static

In body mechanics we need about -27 volts in our cells to be healthy...

Less we start to rot, decay and die or illness creaps in.

So the ancients new that to eat a lot
~ eat a little
(then you can live a long time to eat a lot.)

You need a healthy battery in your car or it won't start.
energy is simple
~ breath it, move it around (exercise)
~ bring in the living energetic life force from fresh things
(eliminate the waste)

Chinese use chi gong or chi gung or Zhi ghong many ways to say this
simple exercises
~to bring in energy,
~Store the energy,
~move the energy.
~ heal your self and others with this energy

Yogis do the same
Here in the west we are slowly catching on.

First we have to have desire to know.
usually we don't we just do all the wrong things - programmed by society and TV commercials to die
~eat lifeless dead things wich take energy from us not - - give energy like real food will
~ so we have what is thought of an "enjoyment' or 'party'
- too much booze, spice foods, rich foods, dead foods, (Pizza & beer -or much worse)
- then we get sick
- only then do we seek knowledge... how to get and maintain health?

So energy - we know whether we have it or not, even if we don't know what it is....
we simply feel it or the feel the lack of it...

in Sanskrit this is called roga, boga, and yoga. party, suffer, seek health
or union or truth or knowledge or whatever it means to you...

perhaps we can de-hypnotize ourselves ...

breath in energy,
store the energy,
move the energy
heal with this energy
ourselves and others...

Namaste...
