Although they have tightly bound
my arms and legs,
All over the mountains I hear the song of birds
And the forest is filled
With the perfume of spring flowers.
Who can preven me from freely
enjoying these,
Which take from the long journey
A little of its loneliness?

Background Info:

This year the Gyalwang Karmapa will complete his teachings on The Life of Milarepa and this will be commemorated by a Milarepa empowerment, a Milarepa feast offering, and a celebratory meal for the monks and nuns at lunchtime on January 1st. This will be followed by a special performance in the evening of a musical drama based on the life of Milarepa and written by His Holiness himself.

About this performance, His Holiness stated: “Presenting the Milarepa namthar –the Life of Milarepa- musical drama on Western New Year’s Day is actually a revival of a Tibetan tradition from the time of the 7th Karmapa, Choedrag Gyatso, when the Festival of Miracles was held during the first fifteen days of the Tibetan New Year. In those days they used to hold the Monlam gathering in the morning and then have dramatic performances based on the lives of the Buddha and great masters in the afternoon. This year’s Life of Milarepa is a way of ensuring that this ancient tradition is not lost.

"Secondly, it will be a reminder of Milarepa’s qualities, his purity and wholesomeness. People have read his story but now they will be able to see it and this should bring it alive for them. My hope is that it will plant a small seed of future liberation in all who watch it.

"There are many different versions of the life of Milarepa but I have based the script for the play on the most famous one written by Tsang-Nyon-Heruka. It took me several months to write the script. I have changed the literary Tibetan into colloquial so that everyone can understand, and combined traditional Lhamo with contemporary drama.”

Scientists have reproduced the Shroud Turin?????????

2009-10-05T20:01:00.001-07:00

ROME – Scientists have reproduced the Shroud of Turin — revered as the cloth that covered Jesus in the tomb — and say the experiment d

The shroud bears the figure of a crucified man, complete with blood seeping out of nailed hands and feet, and believers say Christ's image was recorded on the linen fibers at the time of his resurrection.

Scientists have reproduced the shroud using materials and methods that were available in the 14th century, the Italian Committee for Checking Claims on the Paranormal said.

The group said in a statement this is further evidence the shroud is a medieval forgery. In 1988, scientists used radiocarbon dating to determine it was made in the 13th or 14th century.

But the dispute continued because experts couldn't explain how the faint brown discoloration was produced, imprinting on the cloth a negative image centuries before the invention of photography.

Many still believe that the shroud "has unexplainable characteristics that cannot be reproduced by human means," lead scientist Luigi Garlaschelli said in the statement. "The result obtained clearly indicates that this could be done with the use of inexpensive materials and with a quite simple procedure."
FILE - In this Aug. 12, 2000 file photo, The Holy Shroud, a 14 foot-long linen revered by some as the burial cloth of Jesus, is shown at the Cathedral of Turin, Italy. A group of Italian debunkers is claiming it has proved that the Shroud of Turin - revered as the cloth that covered Jesus in the tomb - was man-made. The shroud bears the image of a crucified man. Believers say Christ's image was recorded on the fibers at the time of his resurrection. The Italian Committee for Checking Claims on the Paranormal said Monday Oct 5, 2009 that scientists have reproduced the shroud using materials and methods that were available in the 14th century.

The Golden Key
by Emmet Fox
Scientific prayer will enable you to get yourself or anyone else, out of any difficulty. It is the golden key to harmony and happiness.
To those who have no acquaintance with the mightiest power in existence, this may appear to be a rash claim, but it needs only a fair trial to prove that, without a shadow of doubt, it is a just one. You need take no one's word for it, and you should not. Simply try it for yourself.

God is omnipotent, and we are God's image and likeness and have dominion over all things. This is the inspired teaching, and it is intended to be taken literally, at its face value. The ability to draw on this power is not the special prerogative of the mystic or the saint, as is so often supposed, or even of the highly trained practitioner. Everyone has this ability Whoever you are, wherever you may be, the golden key to harmony is in your hand now. This is because in scientific prayer it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process. You are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your treatment will be just the getting of yourself out of the way.
Beginners often get startling results the first time, for all that is essential is to have an open mind and sufficient faith to try the experiment. Apart from that, you may hold any views on religion, or none.

As for the actual method of working, like all fundamental things, it is simplicity itself. All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead. This is the complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble, whatever it is, will disappear. It makes no difference what kind of trouble it is. It may be a big thing or a little thing: it may concern health, finance, a lawsuit, a quarrel, an accident, or anything else conceivable: but whatever it is, stop thinking about it and think of God instead -- that is all you have to do.
It could not be simpler, could it? God could scarcely have made it simpler, and yet it never fails to work when given a fair trial.
Do not try to form a picture of God, which is impossible. Work by rehearsing anything or everything that you know about God. God is wisdom, truth, inconceivable love. God is present everywhere, has infinite power, knows everything, and so on. It matters not how well you may think you understand these things: go over them repeatedly.
But you must stop thinking of the trouble, whatever it is. The rule is, to think about God. If you are thinking about your difficulty, you are not thinking about God. To be continually glancing over your shoulder in order to see how matters are progressing is fatal, because it is thinking of the trouble, and you must think of God and nothing else. Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. This is the crux of the whole thing. If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you forget for a while about the difficulty, you will find that you are safely and comfortably out of your difficulty -- that your demonstration is made.

In order to "golden key" a troublesome person or a difficult situation, think. "Now 1 am going to 'golden key' John, or Mary. or that threatened danger": then proceed to drive all thought of John, or Mary, or the danger out of your mind, replacing it with the thought of God.
By working in this way about a person, you are not seeking to influence his conduct in any way, except that you prevent him from injuring or annoying you, and you do him nothing but good. Thereafter, he is certain to be in some degree a better, wiser, and more spiritual person, just because you have "golden keyed" him. A pending lawsuit or other difficulty would probably fade out harmlessly without coming to a crisis, justice being done to all parties concerned.

If you find that you can do this very quickly, you may repeat the operation several times a day with intervals between. Be sure, however, each time you have done it, that you drop all thought of the matter until the next time. This is important.

We have said that the golden key is simple, and so it is, but of course it is not always easy to turn. If you are very frightened or worried, at first it may be difficult to get your thoughts away from material things. But by constantly repeating a statement of absolute Truth, such as: There is no power but God: I am the child of God, filled and surrounded by the perfect peace of God: God is love; God is guiding me now; or, perhaps best and simplest of all. God is with me -- however mechanical or trite it may seem -- you will soon find that the treatment has begun to "take." And that your mind is clearing. Do not struggle violently; be quiet, but insistent. Each time you find your attention wandering, switch it back to God.

Do not try to think in advance what the solution to your difficulty will be. This is called "outlining" and will only delay the demonstration. Leave the question of ways and means to God. You want to get out of your difficulty that is sufficient. You do your half, and God will never fail to do God's.

"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

I Am Awake

2009-09-28T22:33:00.000-07:00

I Am Awake
When the Buddha start to wander around India shortly after his enlightenment, he encountered several men who recognized him to be a very extraordinary being.
They asked him, "Are you a god?"
"No," he replied.
"Are you a reincarnation of god?"
"No," he replied.
"Are you a wizard, then?"
"No."
"Well, are you a man?"
"No."
"So what are you?" they asked, being very perplexed.
"I am awake."
Buddha means "The Awakened One". How to awaken is all he taught.

4 Nobel Truths

2009-09-27T12:50:00.000-07:00

1. The Noble Truth of Suffering: There is Suffering - Rebirth, old age, disease, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair, association with objects we dislike, separation from objects we love, not to obtain what one desires cause suffering. There are also many happy hours and pleasure in man's life-time, but according to the law of nature, they are impermanent and these last only for a short time and vanish into nothing. Only sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair are left by them behind.

2. The Noble Truth of The Arising of Suffering: Suffering has an origin - The Threefold Craving leads every being from birth to birth and is accompanied by joy and lust, seeking its gratification here and there, namely: Sensual Craving, Craving for Existence and Craving for Wealth and Power. There are also a sixfold craving, namely the eye craves for forms, the ear craves for sounds, the nose craves for odours, the tongue craves for taste, the body craves for objects, and the mind craves for noun, dreams or illusions. These Cravings and ignorance of the law of nature are the condition of origin of individual suffering.

3. The Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering: Suffering Can Cease - The condition of cessation of suffering is the complete fading away and extinction of this three fold craving, forsaking it and giving it up, the liberation and detachment from it. The condition of mind of a person who has been giving up his threefold cravings or this sixfold craving together with ignorance can realize Nirvana (or the Extinction of the Cravings).

4. The Noble Truth of The Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering: There is a Path our of Suffering - It is the 'Noble Eightfold Path' (or the 'Middle Path' because it avoids the two extremes of sensual pleasure and self-mortification), that leads to the Cessation of Suffering.

Dudjom Rinpoche on Meditation

Instruction on Meditation
by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche

Since everything originates in the mind, this being the root cause of all experience,
whether “good” or “bad”, it is first of all necessary to work with your own mind, not to
let it stray and lose yourself in its wandering. Cut the unnecessary build-up of complexity
and fabrications which invite confusion in the mind. Nip the problem in the bud, so to
speak.

Allow yourself to relax and feel some spaciousness, letting mind be to settle naturally.
Your body should be still, speech silent, and breathing as it is, freely flowing. Here, there
is a sense of letting go, unfolding, letting be.

What does this state of relaxation feel like? You should be like someone after a really
hard day’s work, exhausted and peacefully satisfied, mind contented to rest. Something
settles at gut level, and feeling it resting in your gut you begin to experience a lightness.
It is as if you’re melting.

The mind is so unpredictable – there’s no limit to the fantastic and subtle creation which
arise, its moods, and where it will lead you. But you might also experience a muddy,
semi-conscious drifting state, like having a hood over your head – a kind of dreamy
dullness. This is a manner of stillness, namely stagnation, a blurred, mindless blindness.
And how do you get out of this state? Alert yourself, straighten your back, breathe the
stale air out of your lungs, and direct your awareness into clear space in order to bring
about freshness. If you remain in this stagnant state you will not evolve, so when this
setback arises clear it again and again. It is important to develop watchfulness, to stay
sensitively alert.

So, the lucid awareness of meditation is the recognition of both stillness and change, and
the quiet clarity of peacefully remaining in our basic intelligence. Practice this, for only
by actually doing it does one experience the fruition or begin to change.

View in Action

During meditation one’s mind, being evenly settled in its own natural way, is like still
water, unruffled by ripple or breeze, and as any thought or change arises in that stillness it
forms, like a wave in the ocean, and disappears back into it again. Left naturally, it
dissolves; naturally. Whatever turbulence of mind erupts- if you let it be – it will of its
own course play itself out, liberate itself; and thus the view arrived at through meditation
is that whatever appears is none other than the self display or projection of the mind.

In continuing the perspective of this view into the activities and events of everyday life,
the grasp of dualistic perception of the world as solid, fixed and tangible reality (which is
the root cause of our problems) begins to loosen and dissolves. Mind is like the wind. It
comes and goes; and through increasing certainty in this view one begins to appreciate
the humor of the situation. Things start to feel somewhat unreal, and the attachment and
importance which one signifies to events begin to seem ridiculous, or at any rate
lighthearted.

Thus one develops the ability to dissolve perception by continuing the flowing awareness
of meditation into everyday life, seeing everything as the self-manifest play of the mind.
And immediately after sitting meditation, the continuation of this awareness is helped by
doing what you have to do calmly and quietly, with simplicity and without agitation.

So in a sense everything is like a dream, illusory, but even so humorously one goes on
doing things. If you are walking, for instance, without unnecessary solemnity or self-
consciousness, but lightheartedly walk towards the open space of suchness, truth. When
you eat, be the stronghold of truth, what is. As you eat, feed the negativities and illusions
into the belly of emptiness, dissolving them into space; and when you are pissing
consider all your obscurations and blockages are being cleansed and washed away.

So far I have told you the essence of the practice in a nutshell, but you must realize that
as long as we continue to see the world in a dualistic way, until we are really free of
attachment and negativity, and have dissolved all our outer perceptions into the purity of
the empty nature of mind, we are still stuck in the relative world of “good” and “bad”,
“positive” and “negative” actions, and we must respect these laws and be mindful and
responsible for our actions.

Post-Meditation

After formal sitting meditation, in everyday activities continue this light spacious
awareness throughout and gradually awareness will be strengthened and inner confidence
will grow.

Rise calmly from meditation; don’t immediately jump up or rush about, but whatever
your activity, preserve a light sense of dignity and poise and do what you have to do with
ease and relaxation of mind and body. Keep your awareness lightly centered and don’t
allow your attention to be distracted. Maintain this find thread of mindfulness and
awareness, just flow.

Whether walking, sitting, eating or going to sleep, have a sense of ease and presence of
mind. With respect to other people, be honest, gentle and straightforward; generally be
pleasant in your manner, and avoid getting carried away with talk and gossip.

Whatever you do, in fact, do it according to the Dharma which is the way of quieting the
mind and subjugating negativities.

The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life

2009-08-01T10:23:00.001-07:00

The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life
The Law of Dharma: Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.

I will put the Law of Dharma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.
I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.
I will ask myself daily,"How can I serve?" and "How can I help?" The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.

The Dalai Lama Serves Hope To SF Homeless

2009-04-28T21:20:00.000-07:00

April 26, 2009 His Holiness the Dalai Lama was trying very hard on Sunday to make the homeless guests at Martin's soup kitchen relax.

He put on a red and yellow tie-dyed apron to serve up the first plates of pesto pasta. He cracked jokes about what a relief it was to be among rich people who hang on his every word. He broke bread with seven down-and-out men, telling stories and making fun of his English — or lack thereof.

Finally, the head of Tibet's government in exile and one of the most significant spiritual leaders in the world tried this: "You know," he said, "I'm homeless too."

The Dalai Lama was on his second day of a weekend swing through the San Francisco Bay area to talk peace and call attention to the plight of the nation's poor. His visit, arranged by The Forgotten International, a nonprofit that promotes helping the world's poorest people, was two years in the making.

Tom Nazario, the founder of Forgotten International, blamed bureaucratic red tape. "He has wanted to do this for some time," said Nazario, a professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law.

The Dalai Lama beamed and grinned impishly throughout his hour-long visit to Martin's — formally, Martin de Porres House of Hospitality — rooted in the Catholic Worker movement.

"I'm really happy for the opportunity to visit," he said, offering words of encouragement to the approximately 100 guests and volunteers at the Sunday lunch.

"Our lives depend on others," said the Dalai Lama. "Me too. My life depends on others. You are still in human society, human community. Please feel happy and feel dignity."

Buddhist Prayers Universal Love

Universal Love Aspiration

Through the working of Great Compassion

in their hearts,

May all beings have happiness

and the causes of happiness,

May all be free from sorrow

and the causes of sorrow;

May all never be separated from the

sacred happiness, which is sorrowless;

And may all live in equanimity,

Without too much attachment

and too much aversion;

and live believing in the equality of

all that lives. Namo Amida Buddha

The Fire Yogi of Tanjore

2009-04-13T17:34:00.001-07:00

This documentary portrays a rare and unusual Fire Ritual performed by the Yogi and the subsequent chemical analysis of his clothing & physical tests that examine this supernatural phenomenon. The Yogi has performed this Fire Ritual for a total of 1000 days over the last 45 years. The Yogi, weighing a mere 94 pounds (43 kilos), has been able to survive on only two bananas and a mere glass of milk with a few drops of water twice a day for the last 28 years. Many aspects of the Yogi are on the edge of unbelievability, while at the same time highlighting the power and endurance of human mind, body and spirit.

Yogi Rambhauswami, the 63-year-old yogi, claims that in 1975 he stopped drinking more than a few drops of water each day, that two years later he began limiting his daily diet to a banana and a cup of milk, and that he sleeps only three hours each night. By all rights the Sanskrit scholar should be malnourished and dehydrated, but in director and producer Mike Vasan's documentary, he appears to be a relatively normal, if somewhat slender, senior citizen. Rambhauswami's real claim to fame, however, is his elaborate fire ritual.

Trataka : Meditation of third eye

2009-04-06T19:20:00.001-07:00

Your third eye is hungry for awareness .

The meditation technique which you are going to read is 'Trataka' (also known as third eye meditation). In the belief system of 'Tantra' and 'Hatha Yoga' there is a concept of Kundalini .

[ Have you ever heard of Tantra or 'Hatha' Yoga ? If not then let me tell you very briefly that 'Tantra' is a sort of esoteric spiritual path that involves doing a number of activities which seem bizarre and odd to many people. Soon I'll write a separate article on Tantra. Keep watching ' New Articles'

'Hatha' Yoga is a branch of Yoga and it involves indulging in various physical exercises and breathing routines (known as Pranayam.) Many things in 'Hatha Yoga' and Tantra are common' . In this article, without going into the details of Tantra, Hatha Yoga or Pranayam, I have tried to present a simple meditation technique of third eye. The topics of Tantra, Hatha & Pranayam will be covered in other articles soon]

It has been discovered that there are seven chakras (or points of consciousness) in our body. These Chakras (literally Chakra means rings) are situated at different points in our body. Among these Chakras, the 6th Chakra is known as ' Aagya Chakra' located between the eyebrows and is said to be the seat of the mystical "third eye".

The physical location of this chakra is at the center of our forehead. Just above the place between our eyes. It is believed that Kundalini (the energy field) travels from the first Chakra (also known as Muladhara Chakra, situated at the base of our spine) and travels to 2nd, 3rd, 4th…..chakra to reach the 7th Chakra of Sahasrara. Here it meets with the Supreme Consciousness- Shiva. The 'Agya Chakra' is the 6th chakra (the second last Chakra in the path of Kundalini).

This 3rd eye meditation revolves around this 6th center of consciousness - Agya Chakra. This Agya Chakra' is considered as the center where our third eye resides. Though there is no physical third eye present in the body but at a more subtle, spiritual plane it has been experienced by many people that a stimulating center of consciousness exist here. Trataka (or third eye meditation) is the meditation technique of 'Agya Chakra'. When we focus our awareness on third eye, we automatically and instantly attain a meditative state.

Now without further going into the scientific explanation or spiritual significance of this meditation technique let us learn the exact method of this simple meditation technique of 'Trataka' which may take you into a meditative state instantly.

Here is the method:

[Please don't do this meditation in train or bus i.e. while traveling. You'll not be able to do it properly when your body is in motion. ]

Sit in the lotus pose (cross legged). [if it not possible for you then sit comfortably on chair or bad]

keep your spine straight.

close your eyes.

inhale and exhale deeply for 3 times.

Now concentrate on the middle of your forehead around the area which is a few centimeters above the middle of your eyes.

Keep your eyes closed and draw both of your eyes towards this center point of 3rd eye. I mean just look upwards with your eyes closed . Focus your closed eyes at 20-25 degrees above just at the center of the forehead (at the place of third eye.) Now slowly at about two-second interval, start counting in your mind backward from one hundred to one (that is 100,99,98,97....and so on). As you do it, keep your eyes centered towards the third eye.

The Law of Detachment

2009-04-03T17:02:00.000-07:00

The Law of Detachment: In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

  I will put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.
2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, order and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.
3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

The windmill at the end of Golden Gate Park is very close to the ocean. You can see the Windmill from The Great Highway. Parking is close by as well. Bring a blanket for your body and a pillow to sit on for some meditation. Bring a chair if sitting on the ground is not comfortable. Unless it is raining really hard, we will still meet. We will go for an hour or so. The cost is $5 dollars, you can bring it to the meetup!

I'm starting this group without a real agenda or special topic in mind, but rather would like this to be a collaborative effort of different people to connect with others on a spiritual path. Let's just meet and talk and let it evolve and see where it guides us.

My personal belief system is based on many different influences - Taoism, Buddhism, Huna, Wicca and whatever I come across that resonates with me and I know there are many others like that out there.

It takes blunt honesty to admit what things are keeping you hooked into the chatter of your mind. This workshop with Ren is based off of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle's work and Don Miguel Ruiz's work, author of The Four Agreements. Ren has studied intensely with students of Don Miguel Ruiz for two years, and has reaped magical benefits. What does your heart tell you?

CLAIRVOYANCE: "You are Brilliant"

Brilliant, charismatic, glowing, present and bright are words we use to describe individuals who have impressed us.

That space around you is not empty. We each have been taught to occupy this space (to fill it) with something. We can fill it with ourselves (the truth) or with something other than ourselves (a lie). The effect is immediate and obvious for all to see.

Learning to “see an aura” has to do with getting acquainted with your own space as much as it has to do with reading those around you.

Mind, nor intellect, nor ego, feeling;

No birth, no death, no caste have I;
Father, mother, have I none.
I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!
Beyond the flights of fancy, formless am I,
Permeating the limbs of all life;
Bondage I do not fear; I am free, ever free.
I am He, I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!

Clouds
Clouds are heavenly bodies of moisture, hovering above us like protective angels as they float around our world. Angels love to use these natural wonders to show us signs because they can be shaped in any fashion and are spectacular to look at. Clouds are one of the most common ways that we receive “I love you” messages from Heaven. The angels' clouds are physical signs that they’re with us around the clock.

The Power Of Thought - The Water Crystals of Masaru Emoto

2009-03-10T11:38:00.000-07:00

The Water Crystals of Masaru Emoto

This page is dedicated to the work of Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto and his beautiful water crystal photos.

Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July 1943. He is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University's department of humanities and sciences with a focus on International Relations. In 1986 he established the IHM Corporation in Tokyo. In October of 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.

He undertook extensive research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher but more from the perspective of an original thinker. At length he realized that it was in the frozen crystal form that water showed us its true nature. He continues with this experimentation and has written a variety of well received books in Japanese as well as the seminal Message from Water published bilingually. He is married to Kazuko Emoto who shares his passion and is head of Kyoikusha, the publishing arm of his company. They have three children.
Mr Emoto took water samples from around the world, slowly froze them, then photographed them with a dark field microscope with photographic capability. As each water crystal is unique, around 90 photos would be taken of the same water source, and the water crystal photo that represented the majority would be chosen.
The next few pictures are of water crystals from different sources. Generally, clean healthy water creates beautifully formed geometrical crystals, while polluted water is too sick to form any crystals at all.

The next few photos are of water exposed to different types of music. Distilled water would be placed in a bottle between two speakers and specific music would be played for one hour. The water was then frozen and photos taken.

Mr Emoto decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated distilled water crystals.
This was done by typing words onto paper, then taping the paper onto glass bottles overnight.
Note that the negative words 'You make me sick, I will kill you' resembles an image of polluted water.

Now we see the affect of thoughts and intent on the water.
Below left is an image of very polluted and toxic water from the Fujiwara Dam. Below right is the same water after a Buddhist monk (Reverend Kato Hoki, chief priest of Jyuhouin Temple) offered a prayer over it for one hour. Prayer, that’s sound coupled with intention, seems to have an extraordinary ability to restore the water back to its natural, harmonious, geometric symmetry.

What Does This All Mean?

With regard to the molecular structure of water, our intent (thoughts), words, ideas and music have a profound healing or destructive effect on the water.

Since the human is 70% water — Ultimately it means that what we think creates our reality, not just emotionally but physically.

Since the planet is also 70% water these experiments have profound implications for the environment also — Could this mean that we could ‘think’ a polluted stream clean again?

Since asking the question I've learned that these experiments are indeed being done in Japan through Mr Emoto's work. Three hundred people, usually led by someone proficient in focus and meditation (a buddhist monk for example) will gather around a polluted stream and focus healing and wellbeing onto the water for approximately one hour. Mr Emoto has reportedly documented these on film which I have not yet seen. According to eyewitnesses the water would become visibly clearer approximately 15 minutes after the meditation.

If this is indeed the case ... the possiblities are endless.

Pure Grace - Naomi

2009-03-07T18:59:00.000-08:00

Pure Grace

I awaken in the arms of Presence,
listen to the sound of rain
dancing on the roof,
watching it slide down my windows
in tiny streams,
leaving wandering trails,
before disappearing into the earth.
It is a gentle and friendly rain,
singing a soothing song,
anointing all creation,
with flowing tears of love.
It is the liturgy of the Creator,
finding its cadence and rhythm,
like tapping fingers
on the table of the earth,
touching outstretched palms
and upturned faces
receiving the blessing of the rain.
I move quietly in the welcoming
tenderness of morning,
an inner glow lighting my way.
Steam from my tea circling about me,
I breathe in the wonder
and the miracle of awareness
of this life-giving moment,
savoring the gift
in my grateful heart.
Love is such a perfect lover
caressing and coaxing
our souls to blossom
from seeds hidden deep
within the soul.
Spread out your arms
and open your heart
to the showering blessings
of God.

Rumi Only Breathe

2009-03-05T16:44:00.000-08:00

Jelaluddin Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound rememberance that links all back to the Soul-Essence. Born in what is present day Afghanistan in 1207, he produced his master work the Masnawi which consists of over 60,000 poems before he died in 1273. The best way to fully say in words his impact, is that he has the ability to describe the Indescribable, Ineffable-- God.

Only Breathe

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or in the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two
worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

Meditation In Every Moment

2009-03-05T16:00:00.000-08:00

The path of meditation is intended to illuminate and awaken every area of our life, both inwardly and outwardly. In the silence and solitude of formal meditation, we learn to cultivate and nurture inner stillness, calm, attentiveness, and sensitivity. We learn to bring into all the moments of our life, with all their imperfections, a heart and mind rotted in compassion, integrity and awareness.

Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Amidst the World

2009-03-04T20:04:00.000-08:00

When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future.
Then true intelligence arises, and also love.
The only way love can come into your life is not through form, but through that inner spaciousness that is Presence.
Love has no form.

- Excerpt from Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Amidst the World

Crystal Healing

2009-03-03T09:42:00.001-08:00

Crystal are a tool for natural healing which can be health practitioners to accelerate their own methods. The human body is a series of energy systems. Crystals are devices for adjusting and balancing these systems.
It is a cumulative experience of taking channeled material and putting it into actual practice. Techniques are used to alleviate pain and accelerate the natural healing process. I am sure of one thing; there is no limit to the possibilities of the influence of crystal on all energy forms.
If the energy could not be measured, the effect it had on the human body could be. Therefore, this inductive means of study became our laboratory. Unconventional devices such as dowsing rods were used to measure the expansion or contraction of the body’s energy field. An acupuncture meridian measurement device was used to measure the conductivity of the meridian points on the body. Energy changes were recorded through the process of high energy physics photography, sometimes called Krilian photography. Even blood platelet changes were photographed under a microscope after a crystal healing.

When Difficulties Arise

2009-02-27T16:22:00.000-08:00

When repeated difficulties do arise, our first spiritual approach is to acknowledge what is present, naming, softly saying "sadness, sadness", or "remembering, remembering", or whatever

We Are Already Wisdom

2009-02-27T16:13:00.000-08:00

We Are Already Enlightened!

There is nothing whatsoever which needs to or can be done to improve our basic nature, which is already complete openness, natural perfection and absolute spontaneity. This is like the sun itself which just shines.

This intrinsic positive quality is called basic goodness. Every single being from bug to businessman possesses basic goodness in full measure. Basic goodness cannot be destroyed or lost, but it can be seemingly obscured by obsessive thinking.

When our awakened nature is not obscured, our natural positive qualities manifest themselves without any effort on our part. Compassion, insight, wisdom, humor, joy and other positive qualities bring spontaneous benefit to oneself and everyone one has contact with.

It is possible to experience this ever present inherent wakefulness at any time and under any circumstance.

We are already Buddha. Our basic nature is primordial wisdom, radiant emptiness, at peace, and totally free. Why then do we all experience confusion, conflicting emotions and suffering on such a regular basis?

The Great Love Of Rumi Meditation

2009-02-26T11:04:00.000-08:00

You know you've touched a lot of lives when your 800th birthday is celebrated around the world. Sufi poet Mevlana Jellaluddin--best known as Rumi--is beloved by people of many faiths for his ecstatic, almost infatuated devotion to God. His eloquent longing seems to get at the very heart of love. Born September 30, 1207, the spiritual poet's global popularity has inspired the United Nations agency UNESCO to deem 2007 "The Year of Rumi."

For his birthday we honor the poet with this lush, uplifting meditation set to soothing music. Click below and enjoy.

Our Real Self

Just by being ourselves

we are borne toward a destiny

far beyond anything

we could imagine.

It is enough to know

that the being

I nourish inside me

is the same as the Being

that suffuses every atom

of the cosmos.

When the two

see each other as equals

they will be equal,

because then the same force

that controls the galaxies

will be upholding

my individual existence
