Ayurveda ~ The Yogic Pathway To Perfect Health
I’ve come to understand the universe as a vast web of magnetic energy. Some magnetic currents can produce a lifestyle of bliss. Others will produce a lifestyle of dis-ease.
In order to produce a blissful state of being, you must develop the energetic power that enables you to follow that path. That is a key point that so many people miss. It’s a human power that carries you. It is simultaneously simple and profound.
Life can be pretty darn challenging when there’s a scarcity of prana in the body and a surplus of density in the mind!
But when you activate the pranic life-force, you can easily and organically ride the energetic currents that produce prosperity, vitality and deep somatic bliss. The stuff is like pure gold! No amount of money can compete with the supreme sweetness that comes alive in you when the Infinite animates every molecule of your being.
The yogis call this pranic life-force activation ‘Svastha’, or perfect health, which is an art and a science. When you learn this stuff, and really put it to work, everything changes … the body is invigorated, the mind is crystal clear, and the sweetness of complete contentment fulfills you.

THE INNER VOICE
There is an outer world and there is an inner world. As deep as you penetrate, as high as you reach, there is always something breathing inside.
The outer world is made of things. Breathing inside the things are words.
Words are the outside. Inside the words are stories.
The story is the outside. Inside the story is a thought.
Thoughts are the outside. Inside the thoughts is a great light.
At the origin of all light is the beginning that cannot be known.
The outside we can touch and come to know.
The inside—we must wait and be still, so that it may speak to us.

Meditation ~ DNA Recoding, with Judy Satori
The first DNA recoding energy transmission comes from the Elohim. It is taking us BEYOND HEALING, to activate a series of critical synapses within the brain that will

instill an expanded ability to think and create. All you need do is listen.
There are two audio tracks…the first is the DNA recoding,
the second is to ground and recalibrate.
the second is to ground and recalibrate.
What You Will Experience
When you listen to this energy transmission you may experience an altered sense of self, a feeling of being very far away, or of floating in space. People have reported feeling a greater sense of peace and oneness with all life. You may feel vibration or pulsing. The energy opens a series of DNA time locks, like dominoes rolling or cascading. This transmission begins a process of DNA change and is its foundation.
Information About the Human Thought Process
Brain cells communicate with each other through an electro-chemical process. Every time we think, learn or communicate a brain cell or neuron sends an electro-magnetic biochemical message or nerve impulse down its axon. An axon is like a conduction channel between one brain cell and another. Each brain cell makes many thousands of connections with other brain cells during the thought process. When a brain cell (neuron) activates or fires it activates other neurons. A cascade communication effect takes place, creating a multiple domino-like firing process. This process creates neural pathways in the brain. The same thoughts repeated strengthen these neural pathways and make repetitive thoughts more dominant. This is why repetitive listening to these audio tracks from Spirit enhances expected outcomes.

Mudras: The Healing Power in your Hands
“In this respect, Kundalini Yoga assumes that every area of the hand forms a reflex zone for an associated part of the body and the brain. In this way, we can consider the hands to be a mirror for our body and our mind” -Lothar Rüdiger Lütge, Kundalini yoga expert Practiced since antiquity in combination with pranayama, asanas and meditation, Mudras or Hand Gestures is a practice to improve your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Our hands define our karma and fingers being the power points, are a link between individual Pranic force and universal cosmic energy. The subtle hand and finger movements make important connections in the nervous system and stimulate specific energy pathways or nadis. Human body is an amalgamation of 5 elements of nature – Earth, Air, Water, Space and Fire & each finger acts as a representative of one element. Yogis believed if one wants to cure any disease, they can tap into the energy of the elements and rectify the imbalance with the practice of suitable mudras. Starting from the thumb, the fingers represent Fire, Air, Space, Earth and Water, as depicted in the image. Mudras redirect the energy flow to the upper Chakras, and gradually establish a link between all the Koshas (layers) of the body. Let’s look at 7 mudras, its benefits and duration for improving our mental, spiritual and physical health.

SEEDS FOR MEDITATION … It’s Time to Wake Up – We Are All One
We’ve all been trained to view ourselves as separate entities, and in the process we have lost our common humanity. Our existence is deeply intertwined with all of reality, as we are both the center of the universe and fully participating in the whole.
Meditation ~ A Cosmic Journey
“The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.”
– Lao Tzu
Energy goes by many names. In traditional Chinease medicine, it’s called qi (pronounced “CHEE”). In the yogic tradition, it’s prana, or life force. In Native American cultures, it’s spirit. Energy is the essence of who you are, not just something you use up. We can channel energy, and thus, can never run out of it. Think of energy like it is electricity, when we run low on it, all we need to do is to “plug in” to a greater source than ourselves. Call it God, or the Divine, or nature or our universe.
As you learn to meditate, you’ll find it easier to connect with this greater source of life and energy outside yourself. After all, you are not a finite being – you are larger then the body that contains you. In a sense, you not only have access to an infinite supply of energy – you are energy.
Today, and next week, we give you the final two parts of this audio meditation series, each one intended to give you a themed meditation experience.

“To attain enlightenment you have to see your nature. unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause and effect is nonsense. Buddhas don’t practice nonsense. A Buddha is free of karma, free of cause and effect. to say he attains anything at all is to slander a Buddha. What could he possibly attain? Even focusing on a mind, a power, an understanding or a view is impossible for a Buddha. A Buddha isn’t one-sided. The nature of his No-Mind is basically empty, neither pure nor impure. He’s free of practice and realization. He’s free of cause and effect. A Buddha doesn’t observe precepts. A Buddha doesn’t do good or evil. A Buddha isn’t energetic or lazy. A Buddha is someone who does nothing, someone who can’t even focus his mind on a Buddha.”

This Week’s Meditation Moment … Contemplation At The Canyon
Play this MP3 audio track for ambiance while contemplating the following thoughts and ideas, and keep your journal handy to write down whatever comes to mind after you’ve performed this exercise …
“Your work
is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.”

Changing your life, even in small incremental ways, can only happen effectively when you start with yourself. It’s no different with happiness. After all, creating a happy life comes by making a decision to see yourself, others and the world around you in a certain way.
When you turn your attention inward, you can begin to experience that deep quiet from which true happiness springs, flowering in moments of inspiration, elation and happiness. The more you nurture yourself, the more capable you are of growing strong and coping with the stresses that threaten your well-being.
Picture yourself this week in the midst of a vast canyon. Feel the sun on your face, imagine the smell of the air, the earth below you as you sit, and breathe deeply. As you do, contemplate your place in this environment and how this makes you feel in relation to your everyday world. What small changes might you see that you can make in your world to impact your happiness and wellbeing?
When you are finished, turn to your journal to write them down, and consider them when setting your intentions for the coming year.
Nirvana or Moksha is to make your Spirit one with the Soul.
The soul is one, the spirit is made up of thoughts, emotions and energy. The thoughts and emotions gets formed from the experiences and impressions of the past, and gets deeply rooted into the spirit.
In the unconscious world of mind, the constant flow of thoughts takes place and when the similar situation or people come in-front of the mind, all the thoughts and emotions of the past come alive into the present moment.
Spiritual energy holds the physical body with the spirit, and the process of breath happens due to the spiritual energy. The sensation into the physical body is because of the attachment of the physical body with the spirit. When the spirit moves out of the body, physical body becomes free from the sensation.
Enlightenment is to experience the spirit and the soul, while the Nirvana or moksha is attained when the spirit becomes one with the…

Rumi ~ “A Voice”
A voice
out of this world
calls on our soul
to wake up and rise
this soul of ours
is like a flame
with more smoke than light
blackening our vision
letting no light through
lessen the smoke and
more light brightens your house
the house you dwell in now
and the abode
you’ll eventually move to
now my precious soul
how long are you going to
waste yourself
in this wandering journey
can’t you hear the voice
can’t you use your swifter wings
and answer the call

4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH ANXIETY
There’s no denying that the world is speeding up and it’s starting to take its toll. Being constantly plugged in means we never have much time to ourselves. Our attention is relentlessly pulled in multiple directions. It’s impossible not to be overwhelmed and this inevitably leads to increased levels of anxiety. Prolonged periods of anxiety and stress compromise our entire system and in extreme cases, can lead to mental and physical illness. The bottom line is that this is no way to live full-time and cultivating strategies to combat anxiety should be a priority. Here are four tips to begin to point you in the right direction.
Include a calming activity in your morning ritual
It doesn’t matter what it is. Find what works for you. It could be physical exercise, a few breathing exercises, a few gentle yoga stretches or a meditational practice. Set aside at least half an hour for this practice. The energy you’ll get back will make waking up half an hour earlier worth it. Starting your day right should be your highest priority. Without setting this time aside you are bound to be less focused and productive and yes, much more anxious which only further hinders your ability to get through the day effectively. In the beginning this may require some discipline, but over time you’ll get so used to the feeling of calm your practice evokes that you’ll crave it if you miss it. It will become as natural as brushing your teeth, and the payoff is so great you’ll never look back.
Reconnect with nature
Most of us live in concrete jungles, moving from an office to an apartment and back again. (If this isn’t your life, you’re one of the lucky few). We’re not designed to live in such segregation with nature. Find a way to reconnect with the natural world. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways to relieve anxiety and stress. Visit a park and walk bare feet on the grass. Introduce some pot plants to your balcony, soaking up the fresh feeling of dipping your fingers into the soil. We feel closer to ourselves when we interact with nature and when we are more aligned with our true natures, we are less anxious.
Get it out! Process your emotional input
We’re so used to putting our brave and capable faces on that we bottle up our emotions. We suppress and suppress until the emotions eventually boil over, catching us ill-prepared. It’s important to find a way to get our emotions out. Talking is always good. Some people prefer writing in a diary or drawing. Find what works for you and make it a priority to digest your life experiences at least once a week. Making this commitment means taking responsibility for your emotional world and learning not to project it onto others. When we take the time to process, we are much less likely to carry unconscious, festering baggage around with us and that is the stuff that ultimately increases anxiety levels.
Be kind to yourself
When we’re persistently pushed to perform and be better, we tend to get very hard on ourselves. We live in a society that wants us to believe that we are never good enough so that way we keep buying things to improve ourselves. So we get caught in cycles of desire and self-deprecation. Constantly knocking yourself over the head because you feel you need to be better creates massive anxiety. We burn ourselves out trying to live up to impossible standards. The old cliché is true. If you can’t be kind to yourself, you can’t be kind to others.

Rumi ~ Excerpt from “Hidden Music”
I am the slave of that perfect Moon!
Don’t talk to me of suffering, I don’t want to hear.
Talk to me about light, joy and sweetness
and if you can’t keep silent!
Last night Love found me shouting, mad
and beyond myself, and said:
“I am here, why are you so worried and afraid?
O Love, I am overwhelmed with fear.
“Be silent, let me whisper a secret in your ear,
Just nod your head and don’t say a word.”
Oh how delicate, how subtle is the path of love!
This most precious Moon-like beauty appeared to me.
My heart, is this the Moon or my imagination?
“Be silent, it is not for you to understand
don’t you see, you have been blessed.”
But what is this, the face of an angel or a man?
“Be silent, what you see is beyond angels or men.”
But what is it, tell me, or I will go out of my mind.
“Do not torment yourself, leave this house of illusions
and say no more.”
“O please, I begged, “tell me, is this the face of God?”
My heart nodded silently.
