Tyler Wauters: Walk in the Woods

/in /by

When we walk through a forest path, there is a vibration sent out that is a form of communication, a form of language. When we enter a forest, it is up to us to learn how to communicate with it by communicating with our own inner workings, mending the relationship, by igniting the knowing that the forest is the nature within us, that we are not separate. Our work here is to connect to our inner nature and to connect to nature that is all around us.

“Yatha Pinde Tatha Brahmande”

(Universe & the Human Body is Homologous).

“This Mind & Chitta is also subtly & Deeply linked to the COSMIC- Mind & Chitta ““A clear understanding of this REALITY will not only give one a Blissful Experiences but also reveal to us the Mysteries of the Universe….within and without.”

“During, the process of Meditation , the Universal Mind & Chitta (psychic Ether) undergoes the same subtle process. The same transformation as Matter in the Process of FISSION & FUSION.”

Enteric brain; Powerful microcosm of our gut – constipation and what we eat and think.

And like a door or a pathway, activating a marma energy point, opens into the inner pharmacy of the body. The body is a silent, universal, biochemical laboratory—operating every moment to interpret and transform arising events.Touching a marma point changes the body’s biochemistry and can unfold radical, alchemical change in one’s makeup. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways signals the body to produce exactly what it needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that heal the body, mind and consciousness.

What time do you tend to wake up at night? Is there a connection to the times during which a certain organ is most active?

If I deny the experience of consciousness, I deny the existence of a perceiver. Where does the sense of I come from?

Anil Ananthaswamy on the Question of “Who Am I?”

/in /by

Maybe we can just marvel at the efforts of people over millennia, from the Buddha sitting under the Bodhi tree to the modern philosopher and neuroscientist who has asked themselves the question “Who am I?”
Who or what is doing the experiencing, of our lives? This experiencing “I” in the question “Who am I?”
is at the heart of the debate about the self.

Dr. Vasant Lad on Activating a Marma Energy Point

Like a door or a pathway, activating a marma energy point, opens into the inner pharmacy of the body. The body is a silent, universal, biochemical laboratory—operating every moment to interpret and transform arising events.

Touching a marma point changes the body’s biochemistry and can unfold radical, alchemical change in one’s makeup. Stimulation of these inner pharmacy pathways signals the body to produce exactly what it needs, including hormones and neurochemicals that heal the body, mind and consciousness.

Murdhini marma, is the energy point enabling moment to moment awareness, meditation.

We clean house to invite the “king”. Pranayama is “cleaning house”
The visit with the King of course is the most important happening. However, without cleaning house, and without the invitation, the visit will be incomplete.
As the dust clears, the clouds dissolve, our true nature reveals itself – ever present. In silence it is peace, in action it is joy.
