  • Мужское и женское внутри нас

    женский аспект — это наше интуитивное «я». Это самая глубокая, самая мудрая наша часть. Это женская энергия, независимо от того, мужчина вы или женщина. Это воспринимающий аспект, открытая дверь, через которую может входить Высший разум Вселенной, воспринимающая сторона канала. Наше…

  • These are crystal wands in a variety of sizes and stones. A wand is very important for directing energy in spell-work and meditation. finding a wand is something you need to do carefully. if you are an outdoorsy type, maybe just a special piece of driftwood is your wand. Maybe you want to add beads and wire to it. whatever feels right, is.

    if you plan on buying a wand, metal is the most powerful. Mine is wooden with a piece of turquoise and quartz. to find the right wand:

    ~Look for wands that grab your attention

    ~Hold each option in your dominant hand

    ~Feel its weight in your hand

    ~Close your eyes and ask yourself: does this feel right?

    if the answer is no, then keep looking. If the answer is yes, you can welcome a new baby into your home because a wand is an extension of you.

  • And if you find that meditation does not come easily in your city room, be inventive and go out into nature. Nature is always an unfailing fountain of inspiration. To calm your mind, go for a walk at dawn in the park or watch the dew on a rose in a garden. Lie on the ground and gaze up into the sky, and let your mind expand into its spaciousness. Let the sky outside awake a sky inside your mind. Stand by a stream and mingle your mind with its rushing; become one with its ceaseless sound. Sit by a waterfall and let its healing laughter purify your spirit. Walk on a beach and take the sea wind full and sweet against your face. Celebrate and use the beauty of moonlight to poise your mind. Sit by a lake or in a garden and, breathing quietly, let your mind fall silent as the moon comes up majestically and slowly in the cloudless night.

    Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation. A smile, a face in the subway, the sight of a small flower growing in the crack of a cement pavement, a fall of rich cloth in a shop window, the way the sun lights up flower pots on a
    window sill. Be alert for any sign of beauty or grace. Offer up every joy, be awake at all moments to “the news that is always arriving out of silence.”

    Slowly you will become a master of your own bliss, a chemist of your own joy, with all sorts of remedies always at hand to elevate, cheer, illuminate, and inspire your every breath and movement.

    -Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan book of living and dying, Pg 84

  • Chiropractic Fires Up Your LIFE!

    A chain reaction occurs when a small event ignites a reaction nearby, setting off another reaction, then another, until it produces an ultimate result. Getting your health back with Chiropractic care happens in a similar way.

    Chiropractors start the process with a small event called an Adjustment. Spinal adjustments restore a state of Ease in your nerve system which ignites Healing. Over Time your body’s internal Functions light up and you experience Benefits like stronger immunity, deeper sleep, greater physical performance and a confident sense of well being. The ultimate thing that lights up is your LIFE.

    The goal of Chiropractic is to ignite Life within you so you can regain your health, fulfill your purpose and bring more joy to those around you. Staying ‘lit up’ with regular Chiropractic care is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and those you love the most. (via theweeklysticky.com)

    Dr. Jay’s Note:  In my opinion, this is what chiropractic & holistic healing is really about. Unfortunately, many practitioners have been swayed by societies focus on quick-fix pain & symptom relief & have forgotten about the bigger picture that true wellness presents.

    If you want to get the most out of your life, I recommend that you find a holistic chiropractor that follows the above philosophy.

  • Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus)

    Parts used: Fruit.  The very dark berries should be picked when ripe, between mid-fall and late fall. 

    Benefits and uses: The fruit of the chaste tree are more commonly known as vitex berries, which is a widely-known women’s herb.  Vitex berries have the effect of stimulating and normalizing pituitary gland functions, but the greatest use of the fruit lies in normalizing the activity of female sex hormones.  Thus, it is useful in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, pre-menstrual stress, and other disorders related to hormone function.  It is especially useful during menopausal changes, and may be used to aid the body to regain a natural balance after the use of birth control pills.

    Preparation and dosage: For an infusion, pour a cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of ripe vitex berries and leave to steep for 10-15 minutes.  Drink 3 times a day, or take 1-2ML of the tincture 3 times a day.

  • The Energy of Love has a unique, timeless quality that gratifies potentialities that are subtle and difficult to logically describe. As Love becomes progressively spiritualized, it emerges as an alignment with Divinity, which is the ultimate source and province of Love. It thereby becomes viewed as holy, sacred, and the substance of devotion, religious faith, and mystical awareness.

    Meditation flash mob – 02 June 2011 – Trafalgar Square, London, UK

    Organised by the Wake Up London sangha http://wkuplondon.wordpress.com/

    The Goal:

    1. To create an environment for people from all walks of life to come together in meditation.

    2. To spread awareness of meditation to the public.

    3. To come together as a community to send positive intentions out into the world.

    4. To show that leading by example is the best way to lead. Simple acts can stimulate major paradigm shifts in thinking

    Music by Joe Reily http://www.joereilly.org/

    Note: the meditation lasted 25mintues – this is a short version as i took time to join them all and mediate in between ;-)

  • Meditation is going beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with the mind — except going beyond it. It is not a faculty of the mind, it is transcendental to mind. When you can see without the mind in between you and existence, you are in meditation. It is not concentration. It is utterly silent. It is not focusing… it is absolutely unfocused awareness.

Only by chance was he discovered still alive (“jiva”) by a prince who named him Jivaka and raised him like a son.
