Restorative Yoga for Menopause - A Great Rejuvenator for Women at Midlife and Beyond |
 by Suza Francina, R.Y.T. / Author and Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor
For women at midlife and beyond, yoga offers a primary form of menopause medicine that can help them adjust to hormonal changes and cope with a wide range of symptoms - including hot flashes, night sweats, heavy bleeding, mood swings and fatigue - without negative side effects. The spiritual science of yoga recognizes that equilibrium in the physical body helps to bring emotional balance and mental clarity. Yoga supports a new archetype that depicts older women as wise, strong, healthy and intuitive. Yoga reduces the effects of menopause’s hormonal changes by balancing the endocrine system. It smoothes out the hormonal and glandular changes that take place during this stage of life. The regular practice of all the categories of poses - standing, sitting, lying down, backbends, forward bends, twists, and inverted (upside down) poses - stimulates and activates all the glands, organs, tissues and cells of the body. Yoga’s inverted poses are particularly important during menopause as they have a powerful effect on the neuroendocrine system, allowing fresh, oxygenated blood to flow to the glands in the head and neck. A woman’s body is quite capable of adjusting to the hormonal changes that occur when the ovaries slow down. If all our other glands are functioning well, they will, in most cases, continue to produce all the hormones a woman needs for the rest of her life.

Illness As A Transformation Process |
 by Ula Moleda / Holistic Energy Healer, Reiki Master Teacher and Karuna Reiki Practitioner
Life is a healing process. Every experience you have, every person you meet is part of that process. Do not judge your experiences. Trust that everything that's happening to you is for your best. It can sound strange - but even illness can be for your best if you take it as an opportunity to make certain changes and to live life of your highest values and purpose. Experience the illness as a journey of self-discovery, of self-empowerment, of self-knowledge. Accept the situation you are in, the illness, the confusion - and you will see how much peace will come with your acceptance, how much more flexible you will be and more open to responding to new people and situation - and you might even see "the open door". Treat your illness as a Divine message. During that challenging period you really will need to hold your energy in present time if you want to heal. I found very important to keep your daily practice - whether that is meditation, yoga, drama, dance, painting, writing. Carl Jung said when he developed the idea of the shadow self that "you are beginning to realize that whatever is wrong in the world is in yourself. Learn to deal with your own shadow and you will do something real for the world."

How to Create a Spiritual Relationship |
 by Hu Dalconzo / Founder Of
Holistic Learning Centers
One of the best ways for you to support your spiritual growth is to be in a relationship with someone who wants to create a " spiritual partnership" that is emotionally intimate and spiritually conscious. A spiritual relationship is formed when two people come together, as equals, for the purpose of spiritual growth. Within a Spiritual Relationship, both parties agree that nothing is more important than their spiritual evolution. Spiritual relationships create a synergy, which enables each partner to spiritually evolve faster than they could alone because they create a space where it is safe to feel what you are feeling. No matter how long you've been on a spiritual path, sooner or later you must "get off your knees" and apply what you have learned. Spiritual Partners help each other stay conscious to the fact that they are "in the world, but not of the world." I once heard Ram Dass use a humorous term to describe this, he called it "Nobody Training." Nobody training means to stay consciously aware that the human identities that you use in daily life (father, doctor, teacher etc.) are what you do, not who you are. You are a spiritual being who uses many different human identities (roles) to function on the earth plane. The Itivuttaka Sutta describes nobody training this way, "the one who beholds that which has become, as become passes beyond that becoming and is released from craving for sensation. In that which really is, he understands becoming. Free from longing for birth or death, he finds the true meaning of the end of becoming."

Mammograms - Who Needs Them?
|
 by Susun S. Weed / Author and voice of the Wise Woman Way
Perhaps no aspect of breast cancer is more widely publicized than screening mammography. Ads on television, in magazines, and in the daily paper urge women to deal with fear about breast cancer by having a yearly mammogram. We're even told that doing this is a way to "really care for yourself." But screening mammograms don't prevent breast cancer. A mammogram is an x-ray and x-rays cause cancer. The ads promoting regular screening mammography are paid for by those who stand to profit from their widespread acceptance and use - the manufacturers of the equipment and x-ray film. Whose health does this technology really benefit? Women's health? Or corporate health? Should women have screening mammograms? At what age? How frequently? Science hasn't agreed on answers to these questions. An anti-cancer lifestyle will decrease the risk of dying from breast cancer in a way that regular mammograms won't. Care for your breasts with infused herbal oils, regular loving touch, organic foods, and healthy exercise - and forgo regular screening mammograms. If you decide to have a mammogram, protect yourself and get the most out of it.

Achieving Emotional Freedom through Deep Emotional Release
|
 by James Hyman / Founder of Deep Emotional Release Bodywork™
At the root of our soul's experience is our connection to Source. This is recognition that our life is a spiritual path and everything we do is sacred. In order for a person to achieve new insight and awareness, they must be guided into the core of themselves and helped to make an honest and unconditional connection with their unlimited potential. This is the state in which we existed and began to shut down in early childhood. When this unconditional state is re-experienced, the imprint that someone has been carrying changes, and they start naturally moving toward people and things that will help them create that empowered environment in their life. Through the work of releasing blocked emotional energy held in the body, it is possible to regain a profound connection to who you are. This work must be done at all three levels simultaneously: physically, mentally, and spiritually. The physical body and the subconscious mind hold the patterns and the memories. When these are released, the spirit is able to make what I call “the Cosmic Connection.” This is when you get the Cosmic Joke - that you created everything in your life to get yourself to where you are right now, in that moment, so that you can laugh through the tears, break through, and reconnect with Self and Source.

Connection Through Movement - The Nia Technique
|
 by Denise Medved and Maureen Jablinske / Nia Technique Instructors
Used since ancient times for divination, healing, and transformation (e.g., shamanic dancing), Mind-Body movement is now being used in psychotherapy and in both the wellness and fitness industries. One powerful movement and personal growth practice that embodies an integrative Mind-Body approach is the Nia Technique. Nia integrates fitness and health, creatively blending movements, concepts, and philosophies from both Eastern and Western traditions, combining Dance Arts with elements of the Healing Arts and Martial Arts. Nia was created in 1983 by Debbie and Carlos Rosas, aerobics instructors who revolutionized the fitness industry by taking off their shoes and designing a barefoot workout that actively seeks pleasure instead of pain. Concerned about student injuries from the high-impact, repetitive movements of traditional aerobics, they replaced the "no pain, no gain" slogan with "no pain, all gain." Over the past 21 years, Nia has evolved to become the fastest growing mind/body fusion fitness technique in the world, with more than 60,000 students taking classes in 50 U.S. states and 29 different countries, including Germany, South Africa, Sweden, Australia, and others.

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.
