Recently I’ve written a lot on the benefits of meditation. The benefits are truly vast…meditation is a wonder drug for both the mind and the body. In my opinion, it is a vital component to a healthy, vibrant, spiritually connected lifestyle. The benefits of meditation range from feeling more tranquility and inner peace through calming the mind to the ultimate benefit which is the experience of utter bliss and enlightenment. Meditation is a tool and, like any tool, if you don. . .
Tantra: Divine Union of Man & Woman The meaning of the word Tantra, derived from Sanskrit, is “to weave”. In the tantric lifestyle, we weave together all aspects of our lives into one harmonious whole. Work becomes a meditation, making love becomes our spiritual practice, the lover and the beloved melt into one. In the Tantric cosmology, the whole universe was created and continues to evolve through two fundamental forces, which together form one indestructible divine union. These are the male and the female aspects, a. . .
Why Chronic Stress Creates up to 90% of Visits to the Doctor (Part 1 of 2) Terms like stressed-out, anxiety, freaked and worried seem like they’re getting used more and more lately. With ongoing wars overseas, high gas prices, lay-offs and increasing foreclosure rates, stress levels certainly seem to be on the rise.

I once heard a quote by a very famous person who was talking about divorce. I don't follow the celebrity circuit but this particular quote was very good. Bruce Willis answered the question about his impending divorce like this, "Marriage is a garden and to ensure that you have a good marriage every day you must tend to the weeds." Because I'm a wanna-be and a sometimes gardener, I related to that statement on a more global scale, life. Today I was speaking with a friend about some hard le. . .
Saying Thank You To Achieve What You Really Want Every day we ask for something, whether it's silently or aloud or to a friend. We ask for more time, or the right partner, or to win the lottery. We ask people to do things for us and we sometimes ask too much of ourselves. Our thoughts are filled with asking for good health, happiness, and the like. We've all heard the saying "Ask and ye shall receive", but maybe they got it mixed up in the translation and it's supposed to be "Say Thank You and you will receive". What if we were to sto. . .
From Congestion & Clutter to Prosperity & Wellness Each and every day as we walk by a pile of clothes, newspapers, shoes, nicknacks, etc. we seem to give no thought to how their presence affects us. Living on the East Coast forces us to at least clean out our closets two times per year because of the change of seasons. Yet living here in beautiful Southern California more easily allows us to collect old, worn out, unnecessary things. We put these things in our garages or attics because we don't have basements. As those spaces fill up we s. . .

We live in a time when anything is possible. When you can cross the world in a moment and you can find anything through a search on a computer, anything is possible. Even though we have boundless opportunities and possibilities why is it that we are limited by prices? Why is it that we are limited by what others perceive as right and wrong? Why is it that we cave in to the fears of another and behave in ways that contradict our true nature? Beliefs, Programs, Patterns, Attitudes, Cult. . .
Fighting Fatigue by Sandy Powers My daughter was complaining how tired she is. Kay is in her middle thirties and had just started a new job in Human Resources. “I am so tired, “she sighed. “I’m dragging through the day. I’m exhausted when I get home from work, I feel like going straight to bed, but when I do, I can’t really sleep. I must be coming down with something.” “How long have you felt like this,” I asked. “A couple of weeks,” s. . .

When many people think of meditation they instantly conjure up an image of a bearded man sitting cross legged on the top of a mountain or hermit like in a small mountain side cave. This bearded man is the all knowing presence - he is one of the few that knows the answer to the time honoured question ‘What is the meaning of life?’ Well I am sorry to disappoint you. Whilst I am sure there are people as I have described above, the majority of people who meditate are the same as you . . .

The meaning of the word Yoga is "union" that comes from India. It is the union between a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness or rather the integration of physical, mental and spiritual energies that enhance health and well-being. Yoga is not a religion, nor is it a mystic cult. It is a philosophy, which integrates the individual life and the world surrounding us to achieve a basic harmony and equilibrium in the heart and mind of man. It practices has had a st. . .
Before becoming a regular practitioner of Yoga, before gearing up your soul to receive the multitude of virtues that Yoga is likely to impart, you ought to know its basic lessons. So here comes the question “what is Yoga?” One has to travel back a giant distance of some 3000 years to trace the origin of Yoga.

Why Qigong Practitioners Don't Suffer From Backpain Practitioners who make qigong a part of their everyday routine seldom get backpain if at all, because qigong and back problems are a contradiction in terms! If you suffer back spasms or other back problems, just one month of daily qigong practice will alleviate most of the pain. Six months of practice will eliminate most if not all of the problem, and 20 minutes of daily practice will keep backpain away. Qigong, (a.k.a. chi kung) is a 5000-year-old Chinese meditative yoga that . . .
