Yes it is possible to Sleep your way to Union with the Divine!

And wake up a better yogi

Most people sleep 8 hours a day, or 1/3 of their life away, not knowing that this 1/3 of the life can be used to design the rest of your life!

We take it for granted that sleep takes place,  but we tend not use that time for anything more than getting some rest.

Instead we can use that time we are asleep to design our life.

In fact the time before we go to bed is critical to the way in which we sleep. If we have watched horror movies we may have nightmares.

If we are not having nightmares after watching a horror movie what are we likely to be doing? For me, most likely running the same pattern of energy as when I went to bed: on edge, fearful, ready to be scared, wondering what is around every corner. I then wake up tired and upset, and begin my day. What am I going to project into my day? Tiredness, and upsetness with life? Most likely.

What happens after some time of watching horror movies just before bed? We become more fearful about life itself.

Once we see the logic of this, then we can realize the importance of utilizing the last several hours before bed in ways that put us into the best frame of mind to enter into 8 hours of sleep.

Let us start then asking how do I want my day to be? If I answer full of joy, life and vitality lets at how I create that starting a couple of hours before bed.

I enjoy my evening doing things that generate joy, and avoiding activities that create fear and upset. For instance, evening news is not a good activity just before bed. Reading or watching some inspiring content is great.

To create more energy in the morning and sleep better dancing for 5-10 minutes sends you to bed with high oxygen in your system and a feeling if vitality that you also wake up with.

Finally, a great technique to apply just before bed is to fall in tune with the divine, cosmic consciousness, or whatever term you call the ultimate space. You can do this by setting the intention and also taking action!

Yogic Technique to fall into Union

You set intention by speaking out loud “Let the cosmos breath through me’.

You take action by breathing as though the cosmos is breathing through you.

Do this just as you go to sleep, say it 3-6 times as you drift off. Then wake up with a clarity and calmness that is cosmic.

Below is a great video about the power of sleep to improve the quality of your life.

Add more Joy to your Yoga!

Tips to Increase Joy in Yoga

Add more joy to your Yoga!

The whole purpose of yoga is to create “Union”, oneness with all. In this union we often find that our oneness is full of joy, bliss and love.

Is your yoga full of joy bliss and love?

If not, why not?

Sure, at the end of the yoga class you are almost certainly experiencing some aspect of oneness. Sometimes it may be that “out of it” feeling, other times intense peace, other times a feeling of dissolving into everything. There is a myriad of experiences available at the end of the practice.

But how about during the practice? Is your mind chattering about the pain, the to do list, desire to be even better? Are you caught in comparison with the next student who is doing yoga better than you?

Here are 2 techniques that bring “Union” into your yoga practice earlier than waiting for the Shivasana posture that heralds the end of the class.

  1. Keep bringing your focus back to the breath.

As you move your body into, through, and out of the poses, constantly bring your focus to the breath. This gives the mind something organic to place its attention on. The breath is changing constantly, a challenge that aids the mind in staying focused and out of boredom.

  1. Create Bliss in your Muscle Memory

Muscle memory is a fact! If you burn your a finger, that finger will remember the experience and protect itself by from heat in the future.

If you are thinking constantly about a stressful situation at work while doing yoga, this will get imprinted into your muscle memory and you will move away from yoga,  like your finger moves away from heat.

You can use muscle memory to your advantage. This technique was taught to me by the famous Indian yogi, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. He recommends that we consciously plan on breathing in bliss and breathing out bliss with every movement and yoga pose. He emphasizes that bliss is our very essence. By moving our body while invoking the experience of bliss, this becomes embedded into our muscle memory and the ultimate goal of yoga is achieved in each moment. Here is an example of how to do this:

  1. Breathe in bliss. As you breathe in, bring the awareness to the breath and breathe in bliss. Feel the bliss flowing through your whole body. Allow your whole body to resonate with that feeling and experience.
  2. Breathe out Bliss. On the out breath, visualize that you are breathing out bliss. Your breath is nothing but bliss.
  3. Each breath is bliss. With each breath and each movement, keep the focus totally in the in-and-out breathing of bliss. 
  4. Increase the Bliss. As you develop this feeling in your body, allow it to become stronger and stronger.
  5. Feel the bliss throughout your body. Now begin to feel that bliss flowing throughout your body.
  6. Increase that feeling. Your body will now be alive with joy and ecstasy in a very fiery way.
  7. Take that Bliss into your day. Now remember that feeling consciously at different times during the day.

Enjoy these techniques regularly and feel the union with “oneness” increasing and enveloping you more and more! Let me know what your experience is.

Yoga Postures and Impossible

by
breakthrough the impossible gently!
Yogic breakthroughs start when we drop the “Impossible” word

Yoga and Impossible

As a yoga teacher and student our mind has a huge effect on the yoga practice. We have a strong tendency to rule out our potential as humans by using the word impossible.

It is a common word among yoga students when they first encounter some of the advanced poses.

This is ultimately a self-fulfilling prophesy for many students.

Saying anything is IMPOSSIBLE creates limitation, and stops expansion. If as a child you dream of interstellar travel, but you are led to believe it is impossible, that dream will never manifest as a true potential for you. Interstellar travel will remain unexplored by you, because of the “impossible” residing within you.

The virus “impossible” is the dream killer, responsible for not trusting your heart and inner calling. But it doesn’t stop there, the negation of your dream remains in your subconscious, lurking as regret and disappointment in yourself.  

From where do all great inventions in the world come from? They come from a “blank” space, a space that communicates via intuition, flashes of knowingness, daydreams and in other unexpected ways. When asked about inventions such as the Apple computer, Steve Jobs professed that the idea just came to him. It is interesting to note that before the idea came about, Steve had spent substantial time as a spiritual seeker practicing zen buddhism and traveling in North India, searching for the solutions to the unanswered questions of science.

It is only from the blank space of unlimited possibility that inventors such as Steve Jobs have created some of the biggest companies in the world, with inventions that have transformed the lifestyle of humankind.

Einstein and Impossible

Einstein’s formula E=MC2 was revealed to him in a flash of intuition, a knowingness that was not based on scientific calculations or mathematical equations.  He just knew “It’s got to be so”. The formula was proven correct 20 years later, when technology was advanced enough to rigorously test its validity. For Einstein, the word impossible was not part of the equation.

Walt Disney and Impossible

Walt Disney’s inventions came to him in the form of daydreams, daydreams so vivid, that in spite of the many obstacles he faced, he endured in creating Disneyland Amusement Park.  To this day the park not only nurtures the magic in children, but celebrates possibility thinking and imagination. It prides itself in showcasing innovations that point to the future of technology. For Disney, the future depended on the young generation going well beyond the word impossible.

Why we love the word “Impossible”

Best selling author Rick Hanson in his book “Hardwiring Happiness” says that brain research indicates that part of the brain loves negativity, nurtures it and enjoys it. What does that part of the brain do with the word impossible?

The brain’s“enjoyment of negativity” means that our tendency in life is to automatically choose impossible over possible.  By choosing “impossible” the ego strengthens, and it constantly scans for information and events that will proof to us that the choice of impossible is valid.

“A Crime of the Mind”

 As we take this line of thought even further in our questioning, we discover that the mind so loves the word impossible that it shouts it out, screams it out to us. We can describe this as the“Crime of the Mind”.

If we truly sit with the thought that impossible is a “crime of the mind” and witness its devastating effects that keep us trapped in smallness, this contemplation can be liberating.

As soon as we increase the awareness of ourselves and see the world through the lens of “possible”, our horizons expand and magic flows with ease.

Exercise to increase yogic performance

  1. On a paper write the heading Impossible. Then write down 10 postures that you desire but consider difficult or impossible.
  2. Sit with the idea that what you have been labeling as impossible is a “crime of the mind”.
  3. When you have shifted your consciousness, on the list of 10 postures, from impossible to potential, take a pen and cross out the heading and write possible instead.
  4. Repeat this exercise for 21 days until you can look at the list and smile. Enjoy the potential of your future.
  5. Now in the yoga class feel your body move into those postures with excitement and ease.

Haritaki at the Kumbh Mela

by

I am at the Kumbh Mela in Ujain India, with about 30 million other pilgrimage makers!

It is a totally wild scene here. I am at the program being run by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The program is about developing the ability to increase intuition and there are some remarkable events showing up. For instance, the other day about 90% of over 2000 participants shared that they had intuitively recognized various objects using their third eye.

Nithyananda recommends that we all take Haritaki daily as part of our regime to increase consciousness.

The children here are frequently and casually displaying remarkable intuitive skills. For instance, one friend had lost a sacred jewel from his bed area. He had searched three times for it. He went to one of the children. They closed their eyes and scanned and told him that the sacred jewel was inside his suitcase on one corner of it. He went and looked and, lo and behold there it was.  This sort of story is quite common the kids are the automatic go to when an article is lost, and their success is almost 100%

Many people here are also reporting great success with Haritaki.

Ian, a professional musician feels that it gives him much more energy. He was developing a sore in his mouth, so asked me for help and took some capsules, crunched on them and reported that he immediately felt some relief, and reported later that the issue was cleared.

One of the highlights the time here is seeing the rapid improvement in third eye reading by the adults and children. Each day more and more people show skills. Today a friend, Sylvia from Vancouver, came to me and told me that she was asked to read with her third eye what another person was thinking. She said that she scanned for about 2 minutes and then saw me. She said,” Dheera?” She was correct, the other person, another friend of mine had decided to visualize me. Sylvia was really happy to have that image appear for her and have it confirmed.

For myself I too have had some breakthroughs. One day we were asked to identify a color that the team lead was thinking of. As soon as the question was asked I sensed the word blue from my internal intuition. This was correct. The next question about what the team lead was thinking was also correct.

Many people here are used to taking Haritaki, they are confirmed long term takers, who feel that the product is helping them a lot. Many of them are able to take it by the spoonful.

Reducing obesity with Haritaki

How to reduce obesity by using Haritaki and Haritaki Plus

A very powerful study was recently conducted in India using traditional furmulas of Haritaki.

In this case the Haritaki formula called for preparing the Haritaki by mixing it with cow urine.

If this sounds odd or unusual to you please know that in India cow urine is considered sacred and is used for many  activities in the house.

The study is from this source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4279317/

I quote from it:

Background:

India is currently witnessing rising numbers of people in the middle-class who are obese. A lot of the Indian population has started relying on processed foods that contain a huge percentage of trans-fat, sugars, and other unhealthy and artificial ingredients. Obesity is considered the core of many diseases. Increased weight carries significant health risks for some cancers, diabetes, heart diseases and strokes. Junk food, alcohol and sedentary lifestyle are leading us to silent self destruction, making one in every five Indian men and women either obese or overweight.

Aim:

To determine the effect of Gomutra Haritaki on Sthaulya.

Materials and Methods:

An observational pilot study on the effect of Gomutra Haritaki, diet control and exercise in the management of Sthaulya (obesity) was conducted on 21 patients. Enrolled patients were screened on the basis of clinical findings and allocated into two groups. Trial group received Gomutra Haritaki (6 g/day in three divided doses) while control group received placebo capsules in the same dose for 8 weeks.

Result:

Statistically highly significant relief was found in weight reduction (P < 0.001), and body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.01) in both groups. Control group has shown better results against trial group.

Conclusion:

These results prove the impact of diet and exercise in the management of Sthaulya.

You can read the full report on the web site.

This Ayurvedic medicine is known and manufactured and can be purchased in India. i do not distribute that medicine in North America.

North America has a huge obesity issue with the population. More than one third of the population in the USA is obese. that is approximately 100 million people. The reasons for the obesity are: overeating. The US population consumes much more than any other population in the world. this is partly driven by the prevalence of both food advertising, and  the prevalence of fast food facilities all over the country.

In addition to the easy access to large amounts of food, the US population has reduced physical activity very rapidly. Some estimates give the figure of 1.7 miles per week as the number of miles that are walked by the average American.

Here are some more shocking facts about obesity in the USA:

Obesity is common, serious and costly

  • More than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese. [Read abstract Journal of American Medicine (JAMA)]
  • Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death. [Read guidelines]
  • The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars; the medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight. [Read summary]

Obesity affects some groups more than others

Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Haritaki

by
Swamiji says that there are only two things you need to do daily. I is watch satsang and the other is to eat Haritaki daily
Paramahamsa Nithyananda  says that there are only two things you need to do daily. I is watch satsang and the other is to eat Haritaki daily

Paramahamsa Nithyananda speaks very highly of the benefits of Haritaki

Parahamsa Nithyananda is having a huge impact on the world. He is currently awakening the third eye and Kundalini energy flow  in many thousands of people. One of his core recommendations for anyone on a spiritual path is to consume Haritaki daily.

In fact he gives it so much importance that he has said “just do two things daily: “Watch satsang, and eat Haritaki.” This wisdom comes from a person who has spent years teaching meditation and yoga.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains that Haritaki has an immense effect on the patterns of worry, stress and frustration that are so common these days. He says that Haritaki literally removes the grooves from the brain that hold the memory of these patterns. When the patterns are removed,  then we can access higher consciousness.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda had his first experiences with Haritaki as a child.

Although he was part of a large family, he describes that he was brought up by this three enlightened teachers, one which was a female.

He met with them almost daily for lessons.  One of his teachers was a yogi who was at that time period going through 100 years of being on the planet. Another teacher was Kupermal, who was the teacher of sacred scriptures such as the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.  These lessons included extraordinarily difficult yoga practices.

When it was time to learn the more complex scriptures, the Saints would tell Paramahamsa Nithyananda to ingest daily Haritaki. As it is rather nasty to taste, he would ask about why he was to take it and not the other students. The reply from the Saints was that Nithyananda had to catch the deepest meaning of these scriptures, as he is to share them with the world. They could see what was in store for him and wanted him to get the full understanding of the teachings.

Nithyananda’s discoveries about Haritaki as an adult

The second incident that Paramahamsa Nithyananda speaks about is when he was appointed Head of the most ancient Hindu Monastery in South India: The Madurai Mutt. This monastery has been in existence for at least 1500 years, and has an unbroken lineage going back.to its inception.

Upon his appointment there, Paramahamsa Nithyananda discovered that as part of his duties as Head of the Mutt he was required to take Haritaki daily. When he looked into the effects of Haritaki and its spiritual significance, he saw that this requirement was based on truths of great importance. He saw how Haritaki transforms the brain, allowing the Kundalini to rise and the third eye to become active. This is of critical importance to anyone on a spiritual path.

Nithyananda’s impact on the world

If we look around at who in the world is leading in the advancement of spiritual power, compassion, and enlightenment, we see that Paramahamsa Nithyananda stands out above everyone else. His initiation of thousands of young people into third eye initiation and subsequent blindfold reading is remarkable and unheard of in the history of the world.

Haritaki’s impact on the world

When a person of His abilities and stature says “Take Haritaki Daily” as His major instruction, be sure to listen and to nurture your well being with daily intake of  Haritaki.

Haritaki Reduces Telomere Damage, stops Anti Aging

by

Haritaki, the Telomere and Anti Aging

Why should you care about your Telomere?

I had never heard of Telomeres until I was at the Science and Non Duality Conference in the San Francisco Bay area. There I met a researcher who knew all about Mitochondria, which is another important link in the story of aging and anti aging.  He explained his research into Mitochondria had also connected him with Telomeres. He explained how Telomeres and how they change shape and form depending on a number of factors, including the consciousness of the person.

He explained that Telomeres damage is directly linked to the symptoms of aging, including brain damage from aging.

Today I found that there has been extensive research done on the effects of Haritaki on telomeres. This indicates that Haritaki can extend the longevity of the human cell by 40%. This has obvious relevance to human life!

What is a Telomere?

Telomeres are an essential part of human cells that affect how our cells age.1,2

Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the endof shoelaces.3

Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer do their job, just as without telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and our cells can’t do their job.3

Short telomeres are connected to premature cellular aging.3,8

Telomere shortening is involved in all aspects of the aging process on a cellular level. Telomere length represents our biological age as opposed to our chronological age.

Many scientific studies have shown a strong connection between short telomeres and cellular aging.8

For example, the immune system, which normally weakens as we age, is highly sensitive to shortening of telomeres.9 In addition, a 2007 study found that short telomeres were associated with decreases in bone mineral density in women.10

Telomeres protect the vital information in our DNA

DNA makes up all of the cells in our body. It is the genetic material that makes us who we are. And every organ in our body (skin, liver, heart, etc.) is made up of cells. So, telomeres are vital to our health.

Our cells replenish by copying themselves. This happens constantly throughout our lives. Telomeres get shorter each time a cell copies itself, but the important DNA stays intact.4

Eventually, telomeres get too short to do their job, causing our cells to age and stop functioning properly.3,4,5 Therefore, telomeres act as the aging clock in every cell.

Haritaki use supports Healthy Telomere
Haritaki use supports Healthy Telomere

This next information is from the web site of a product that  promoted Telomere growth called: www.lifecoderx.com/telomax

5) Terminalia chebula (aka Haritaki) is named the “King of Medicines” in Tibet and is prized as a virtual panacea in Indian Ayurvetic Medicine for its powers in healing, lowering inflammation, restoring health, and stimulating tissue growth. It contains rejuvenating tannin flavonoids that have increased human cell longevity in culture by 40% while maintaining telomere length [12]. Life Code uses a proprietary T. chebula extract standardized for high tannin levels that test well in our stem cell screening experiments.

The original research that they quote in their own development is here:  Na M, Bae K, Kang SS, Min BS, Yoo JK, et al. Cytoprotective effect on oxidative stress and inhibitory effect on cellular aging of Terminalia chebula fruit. Phytother Res 2004; 18: 737-741.

My recommendation about  the use and benefits of Haritaki on Telomeres and Anti Aging

All the signs indicate that there is an even stronger link between Haritaki and reduction of Telomere damage than has been shown so far. This is another very important reason to take Haritaki regularly. The researcher who originally introduced me to the Telomere researcher is a brain researcher who evaluated meditators and healers. He saw the power of Initiation by a master such as Paramahamsa Nithyananda directly improving brain function. I believe that we will find similar evidence to link Haritaki and Telomore function in the near future.

Haritaki clears mercury from the body

by

Research indicates that the use of Haritaki helps in clearing Mercury residues from the body

There is a huge body of literature that indicates that mercury in the body causes many different health issues, including mental health issues. I have been tested previously for mercury and have been found to have quite a lot of mercury in my body. Probably from all the teeth fillings that I received as a child. Mercury poisoning is described this way by Wikipedia:

Common symptoms of mercury poisoning include peripheral neuropathy, presenting as paresthesia or itching, burning, pain, or even a sensation that resembles small insects crawling on or under the skin (formication); skin discoloration (pink cheeks, fingertips and toes); swelling; and desquamation (shedding or peeling of skin).

It is also associated with mental illness,  and memory loss  Some suggest that the mercury in injections of vaccinations cause autism, although this is not scientifically proven.

Researchers have been investigating different ways to remove mercury from the body, and new research indicates that Haritaki does do that.

Haritaki And Mercury

Dr Chris Shade,  a leading expert in mercury detoxification has used many different natural products and finds that Haritaki works best. This information is from the famous Doctor Mercola:

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/01/06/dr-shade-on-mercury-exposure.aspx

 

What You Need to Know About the Different Forms of Mercury, the Next Generation of Mercury Testing, and How to Detox Safely

Phylogenomics — Gene Activation through Superfoods

“This is a beautiful part of the science called phylogenomics, ‘phylo’ meaning plants, and ‘genomics’ meaning genes,” he says. “What we’re finding is that genes are not always [expressed]…

What are triggers to start expressing these genes?

We’re finding that whole families of genes that can be upregulated together. There’s protein out in the cytoplasm called the Nrf2 protein. It’s held in place there by another protein called the KIP1. When certain chemical triggers hit it, it translocates into the nucleus. When it does so, a whole family of genes that have what I call the promoter region (it’s a way to turn on families of genes and it’s called the antioxidant response element) turns on at once. These are genes that code for production of intracellular antioxidants, as well as production of these phase II enzymes like glutathione S-transferase, and production of these phase III proteins for transport. You’re helping turn up the whole system at once.

What are the things that trigger this?

Well, a lot of these things that we consider ‘superfoods.’ The main family of food chemicals that do this or plant chemicals are polyphenolic antioxidants like you would find in green tea extract or pine bark extract. The one we use the most is called Haritaki. We have a blend called Clear Way Cofactors, where we bring together what we think are the best polyphenolics for doing this. The other side of it is the sulfur-based chemicals.”

Dr Shade links Haritaki as a super-food with the ability to be a powerful antioxidant. We know that Haritaki is a strong antibacterial agent also.

My recommendation:

Take Haritaki daily to reduce Mercury content in your body

You can find out about more benefits of Haritaki here

There is even more information about Haritaki and Mercury in this article here, which also has an updated protocol.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/01/13/mercury-detoxification-protocol.aspx

This is the way it is described in the article:

“Now that your glutathione levels are up, you can work on building up the other parts of your glutathione system — specifically, enzymes and transport proteins. Your natural production of these factors can be augmented with superfoods.

Plants contain thousands of natural chemicals (phytochemicals) that help your body to work properly, including production of enzymes and antioxidants. One group of phytochemicals is the polyphenol group, which actually helps activate health-promoting genes.3 Polyphenols are abundant in a wide range of fruits and vegetables.” source http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/01/13/mercury-detoxification-protocol.aspx

And is describing how to use Haritaki this is what is stated:

  • Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) extract5: An Ayurvedic fruit used extensively in Tibetan medicine, called the “King of Herbs;” it has potent effects on your glutathione system and on expression of other intracellular antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD)
