Understanding Chi & Breathing |
 by Aaron Hoopes / Teacher, Author and Founder of Zen Yoga
Chi refers to the natural energy of the Universe, which permeates everything. All matter, from the smallest atoms and molecules to the largest planets and stars, is made up of this energy. It is the vital force of life. It is the source of every existing thing. Chi has many manifestations. To the kung fu and taiji practitioners of China it is known as "Chi," but different philosophies and cultures call it by different names. Japanese martial arts call it "Ki." Metaphysical science calls it "vital force." Friedrich Mesmer called it "animal magnetism." The Indian and Hindu yogis call it "Prana." Western science defines it as "biorhythm," and New Age thinkers simply call it "cosmic energy." Naturally, in each manifestation the Chi is viewed and defined differently, but basically it is the same thing. It is the power which enables us to think, move, breathe, and live – the power that makes gravity act like gravity. It is what makes electricity electric. It is the link between our perception of the inner and outer worlds. It is our connection to the very flow of the universe and the prime moving force within the human body. Chi is not breath; it is the power that makes it possible for us to breathe. Chi is not simply "energy," it is what gives energy the power to be energy. Chi is the power behind movement and thought…and it is everywhere. It is in the oxygen we breathe and the blood that flows through us.

Samadhi and the Shadow |
 By Alan Mesher / Energy Master, Teacher and Spiritual Healer
At the heart of the Samadhi experience is a radically new experience of identity based on overcoming the shadow and the negative ego. The negative ego is the antagonist of the soul, sees the world in terms of separation, is both defensive and aggressive, and contains a substantial concentration of toxic shame. Many people who have a strong sense of their own identity have a robust negative ego. While it is usually a good thing to think that one knows who one is, the deeper truth is that all identity anchored in the negative ego is based on the principle of separation and is therefore a distortion of reality. When we see ourselves as separate from other people we see neither who we really are nor who they really are. By constantly defining ourselves as separate from everyone else we create a world of escalating conflict. Compassion, understanding, and peace can only come into the world when we see ourselves from the perspective of the soul. Where the ego divides us by capitalizing on our external differences, the soul unifies us by operating on compassion. It knows that on the inside we are all very much the same. Samadhi is revolutionary because it shifts the balance of power in the world from conflict to compassion and from hostility to cooperation. Unfortunately, because Samadhi is an individual accomplishment it produces this revolution very slowly, one person at a time.

Reduce Stress and Strengthen Your Immune System: 10 Natural Ways to Relax and Rejuvenate |
 by Monique N. Gilbert, B.Sc. / Author, Natural Health Coach and Certified Personal Trainer
Stress seems to have become a constant factor in today's fast-paced society. If left unchecked, it can wreak havoc upon our health. Learning how to effectively manage stress can mean the difference between being robust and full of life, or becoming susceptible to illness and disease. Stress can weaken the immune system and accelerate the aging process. The ability to relax and rejuvenate promotes wellness, vitality and longevity. A healthy immune system regulates our body's healing process and protects it against infections and diseases. When stress compromises our immune function, it can result in colds, flu, fatigue, cardiovascular disorders and premature aging. Stress increases heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, adrenaline, cortisol, free radicals and oxidative damage. This initiates the "fight or flight" response, places undue strain upon the heart, and can also increase the feelings of anxiety and depression. Protecting the immune system is a vital part of living longer, feeling younger and being healthy. This article includes ten natural healthy ways to reduce stress, boost your immune system and slow down the hands of time.

From Patient To Practitioner: Overcoming Chronic Pain
|
 By Laura Sadler / Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki Master and Yoga Instructor
After two years into my injury, a friend of mine mentioned that he went to an acupuncturist when he hurt his knee in an ice skating accident. His injury was more acute, but acupuncture sounded good to me, so I decided to try it. I went once a week and it only took four months to relieve the pain. My acupuncturist told me to take a tennis ball and lean against a wall and place it in the spot where my back hurt. I tried it, but it was difficult to do, so I tried lying down on it on the floor. I started playing around with it, and by now I had been going for acupuncture for a while, so I could tell what the sore spots felt like (some of which are also trigger points). I learned how to treat myself with this technique for my back. I did this every night so that I would be able to fall asleep. Even after my knee healed I had to continue 'erasing' the trigger points in my low back for several months, but I was able to manage the pain. Another issue that came up for me during treatment was that my knee felt very sore after my sessions. I had to climb a flight of stairs to get to work each day and it was difficult when my knee was sore. My acupuncturist told me to take an epsom salt bath after treatment to help alleviate the soreness. I tried it and it helped immensely. I returned to my yoga practice to rehabilitate myself once my knee was completely healed. I also focused on my flat feet and used yoga to fix them too. Today I do not have any pain in my knee and I no longer have flat feet.

Sensual, Sacred, and Sexy: The Awakening of the Tantric Priestess
|
|
by Kim Oursler / Priestess of the Goddess, Writer, Mother and Doula
There are many ways that women are awakening to their own Divine Feminine within these days; journeys of self-exploration into one's own personal mysteries. As women move through levels of themselves, reclaiming their sexuality is the next natural step. There is a calling for the reclaiming of the sacred sexuality and women want to go into that territory in a natural way. Sexuality is almost an insufficient word. It is like the bud of the whole flower, the whole tree. Women want to fully run and experience their own life-force energy allowing them to acknowledge the sexual part of themselves that many women deny. It is not sexuality for others - it is sexuality for Self. It is being a woman who is open, who knows and can speak her Truth to anyone, a woman who knows what juices her and what does not, a woman who brings vibrancy into all that she does. Women need to make a commitment to Self in order to honor their own beautiful sensuality. Women need time and space to emerge from the inside out. Our daily lives allow much of the outside in. When we allow women time to relax deeply into her self, we see them become willing to take the journey of self-discovery. It is time for the sacred, the sexual, and the spiritual to re-join. Patriarchal religion separated the feminine from spirituality, so it is the job of the feminine divine to repair that. We are recalling and repairing the original Divine Plan of our Creator which included the feminine as sacred, not separate. It is this empowerment of women that will return the Sacred Feminine and offer safe, profound transformation.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK |
Abounding in wisdom and humor, Jed McKenna's books, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing, and Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment contain a simple message: Confront life honestly. If you want to know, ask. If you want to see, look. Beyond all philosophies and religions, further than any spiritual path can go, there is truth: perfect, directly-knowable, self-verifiable, one-without-other truth. And the only thing standing between you and truth, says McKenna, is you.
