& what if

2009-09-08T22:31:44Z

after trying both physical & emotional techniques you have a physical manifestation/ailment you can't seem to clear & in turn it only serves to remind you of the connecting emotional event, sometimes small improvements but mostly an enduring annoyance...

I would never stop trying/searching..

has anyone had something similar

emotions coming to the surface

2009-08-22T20:57:14Z

I feel as the more I become receptive and my sensitivity is increased, the more I am open to negative feelings. Many things that has never bothered me all my life started coming out and I am so much in pain, generally on my chest. When I see hate and anger between people I become very sad. I started remembering events from childhood that I had forgotten. I am having very strange symbolic dreams. And I can't really figure out their meanings. I feel stuck and unhappy when this happens. I pick up all these energies and can't disconnect myself. So many emotions (that I have never fully released I think) are coming out and I get afraid, and I don't know what to do. Does that happen to others too? Is there something I should be doing?

Cords

I can find information on cord cutting, but what about cord strengthening. What if you want to strengthen a cord, maybe from your past. Does anyone have any exercises for that?

Lama Mingyur Rinpoche: tantric Buddhist teaching and empowerment tour June - August 2009

Keywords : meditation practice ( tantra devayoga sadhana ), Mahayana Buddhist transmission, mantra yoga, Heart Sutra, Karma Kagyu lineage of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, 2009 Tour, Portland, deity of "Liberating Compassion" Avalokitesvara empowerment ( a.k.a. Kuan Yin, Kannon, Chenresig etc. ).

Summary: His Eminence Yongey Mingyur will be giving a tantric Buddhist empowerment ( highest yoga tantra ) for Avalokitesvara in Portland this June 19, and later, other cities as well. This major tantric guru of the Karma Kagyu lineage is on international tour through August. Background references and a key book reference are provided.

" If we try too hard, meditation becomes difficult. But it is so easy... Meditation is resting in our own natural awareness. "
His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Dorje Rinpoche

His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a younger yet also major teacher in the Indo-Tibetan tradition of vajrayana and tantra, specifically as a retreat master in the Karma Kagyu lineage. He is the son of the great Nyingma master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and his main residence is Sherab Ling, the seat of His Holiness Khentin Tai Situpa, a principal Kagyu guru.
http://www.mingyur.org/biography/index.html

Although quite young, HE Yongey Mingyur is an accomplished master of both the Great Seal ( Mahamudra ) and Great Perfection ( Dzogchen ) traditions of pure awareness yoga. I have received from His Eminence both the Tsik Sum Ne Dek ( Great Perfection Breakthrough ) and Karma Pakshi Great Seal guru yoga empowerments some years back, and both transmissions were quite powerful.

His Eminence is also establishing fellowships in North America ( e.g. San Jose CA and Phoenix AZ ) and participating in western scientific studies on mind science. He is the author of two well received books on meditation, including the recently released "Joyful Wisdom - Embracing Change and Finding Freedom".

This young teacher is clearly one of the most important of the new generation of tantric Buddhist gurus teaching in the West, in terms of the quality and quantity of his teaching work, and the deep and broad impact he is beginning to have. ( See "Yongey Foundation Links" at http://www.mingyur.org/links.html ).

This year he teaches coast to coast and also in Brazil. For information on the North American Tour continuing through August, see
http://www.mingyur.org/schedule.html

The main event of the Portland visit is a major empowerment for the meditation deity Avalokitesvara. See

Avalokitesvara is a primary and pre-eminent deity and practice for Buddhists worldwide. Avalokitesvara is the renowned deity of "Liberating Compassion", known in many parts of the Far East as Kuan Yin ( China ), Kwannon ( Japan ), Kwan Seeum ( Korea ), Kwan Theum Botat ( Viet Nam ), etc. This is a major practice for both general Mahayana ( Great Way ) Buddhists and also for esoteric / yogic ( tantric ) Buddhists, and thus unites and helps all schools of Buddhist practice in many different cultural contexts, both Asian and Western.

This is a most well known and quite universally practised pagan / polytheistic deity yoga of Sanskrit origin, Hindu or Buddhist. For example, it has become incorporated into some Hindu practice lineages, such as that of Swami Nikhilesvarananda. It is very similar to or overlaps the practice of Blue Throated Siva, as shown in one of the mantras for Blue Throated Avalokitesvara.

The influence of Avalokitesvara is vast throughout the world, and in different Buddhist lineages. Several of my teachers are considered to be emanations of Avalokitesvara including ( the late ) HE Deshung Tulku Rinpoche ( Sakya ), HH the Seventeenth Karmapa Urgyen Trinley Dorje and the Karmapa lineage, HH the Dalai Lama and the Dalai Lama lineage, and so forth.

His Eminence Dzongsar Rinpoche ( Sakya and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism ), who teaches worldwide, has stated that Avalokitesvara is the most broadly and most commonly practised of all Buddhist mantras worldwide. This is consistent with my experience in Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan, and Vietnamese traditions. Apparently there is a book on Avalokita practice in the Sri Lankan traditions, which are mostly Theravadin Buddhist.

The esoteric yoga traditions of Buddhist tantra are based on ritual empowerment and the practice of self-empowerment, and these include placing points of light at the Brow Cakra ( White Light ), Throat Cakra ( Red Light ), and Heart Cakra ( Blue Light ). Some forms of Avalokitesvara practice include a full kundalini yoga / psychic heat method, known in the Buddhist tradition as Completion Stage Yoga. N.B. One important example is the transmission of Red Avalokita / Vajrayogini. However, I do not know what form of Avalokita is being given by HE Mingyur Rinpoche.

Avalokitesvara is without doubt the most well known Buddhist ( or other ) esoteric spiritual practice in the West ( either as "OM MANI PADME HUM" or as the "Heart Sutra" or as other variants, see below ).
Many tens of millions of Buddhists recite daily either a Sanksrit formula for Avalokitesvara or a meditation text associated with this deity, as in (1) and (2) following.

1) One of the root mantras ( esoteric invocations or evocations ) of Avalokitesvara is
"OM MANI PADMA HUM", which is discussed at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_mani_padme_hum

2) Avalokitesvara is the source of the primary Buddhist text Prajna Paramita Hrdaya, the Heart or Essence of Transcendent Wisdom, which is recited daily in many Buddhist countries, such as in the Chinese and Japanese Zen traditions. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sutra
This is a primary and central and definitive text for many of the Mahayana Buddhist schools, both outer and inner.

A good source of teaching on Avalokitesvara in the East Asian tradition is
"Bodhisattva of Compassion: The Mystical Tradition of Kuan Yin"
by John Blofeld.

There is also
"The Origins of Om Manipadme Hum: A Study of the Karandavyuha Sutra"
by Alexander Studholme, Ph.D.

Relationship between adverse childhood experience and adult health

2009-02-18T03:48:37Z

The Relation Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adult Health: Turning Gold into Lead
By Vincent J Felitti, MD

Background

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is a major research study that compares current adult health status to childhood experiences decades earlier. With the cooperation of 17,421 adult Health Plan members and with the ongoing collaboration of Dr Robert Anda at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the study is being carried out in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Kaiser Permanente (KP) San Diego--where for many years we conducted detailed biomedical, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial) evaluations of more than 50,000 adult Kaiser Foundation Health Plan members per year.

The findings are important medically, socially, and economically: They provide remarkable insight into how we become what we are as individuals and as a nation. The ACE Study reveals a powerful relation between our emotional experiences as children and our adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of mortality in the United States. Moreover, the time factors in the study make it clear that time does not heal some of the adverse experiences we found so common in the childhoods of a large population of middle-aged, middle-class Americans. One doesn't "just get over" some things.

Study Design

The ACE Study was triggered by observations we made in the mid 1980s in an obesity program at the KP San Diego Department of Preventive Medicine. This program then had a high dropout rate. The first of many counterintuitive discoveries was that the great majority of the dropouts actually were successfully losing weight. Detailed life interviews of almost 200 such individuals unexpectedly revealed that childhood abuse was remarkably common and antedated the onset of their obesity. Many patients spoke openly of an association between the two. The counterintuitive aspect was that, for many people, obesity was not their problem; it was their protective solution to problems that previously had never been discussed with anyone. An early insight was the memorable remark of a woman who was raped at age twenty-three and gained 105 pounds in the subsequent year: "Overweight is overlooked, and that's the way I need to be." The contrast was striking between this statement and her desire to lose weight. Similarly, two men who were guards at the State Penitentiary became anxious after losing more than 100 pounds each. They made it clear that they felt much safer going to work looking "big as a refrigerator" instead of normal size. Overall, we found the simultaneous presence of opposing forces to be common; many of our weight program patients were driving with one foot on the brakes and one on the gas, wanting to lose weight but fearful of change.

In 1990 in Atlanta, I presented information about the frequent relation between obesity and abusive childhood experiences to a largely skeptical audience at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity. Unexpectedly, this presentation led to contacts with researchers at the CDC, who recognized the importance of what had been reported. They proposed a large epidemiologic study to provide definitive evidence of our clinical observations. This was the beginning of the ACE Study at KP San Diego, where, each year, we could easily ask more than 26,000 consecutive adults seen in the Department of Preventive Medicine if they would be interested in helping us understand how childhood events might affect adult health status. Sixty-eight percent of this population agreed to participate and understood that the information they provided about their childhood would never be included in their medical records.

The ACE Study compared current adult health status of these participants with eight categories of adverse childhood experience that we had frequently identified in the weight program. Three categories pertained to personal abuse: recurrent physical abuse, recurrent emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. Four categories pertained to growing up in a dysfunctional household--ie, with an alcoholic person or a drug user; where someone was in prison; where someone was chronically depressed, mentally ill, or suicidal; where the mother was treated violently; and where the parents were separated, divorced, or in some way lost to the patient during childhood. In addition, we decided to monitor this large cohort for at least five years to compare childhood experiences prospectively against adult pharmacy costs, doctor office visits, emergency department use, hospitalization, and death. An ACE score was constructed to analyze the huge mass of information we gathered. A person exposed to none of the studied categories had an ACE Score of 0; an individual exposed to any four had an ACE Score of 4, etc.

Because the average study participant was 57 years old, we actually were measuring the effect of childhood experiences on adult health status a half-century later. Dr Anda, my coprincipal investigator at CDC, designed the data management and retrospective and prospective components of the Study with great skill. Here, I will only touch upon some highlights of our findings; details may be sought in the anchor article of a series of publications deriving from the ACE Study. The initial article was published in May 1998 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, v 14: 245-258;1 full text is at their Web site: www.meddevel.com/site.mash?left=/library.exe&m1=4&m2=1&right= /library.exe&action=search_form&search.mode= simple&site=AJPM&jcode=AMEPRE.

A list of published peer reviewed publications from the ACE Study is provided at the end of this article.2-11

Findings

A striking finding was that adverse childhood experiences are vastly more common than recognized or acknowledged. Of equal importance was our observation that they had a powerful correlation to adult health a half-century later. It is this combination that makes them so important. Slightly more than half of our middle-class population of Health Plan members experienced one or more of the categories we studied. One in four was exposed to two categories of abusive experience, one in 16 to four categories. Given an exposure to one category, there is 80% likelihood of exposure to another. All this, of course, is well shielded by social taboos against obtaining this information. Further, one may "miss the forest for the trees" if one studies these issues individually. They do not occur in isolation; for instance, a child does not grow up with an alcoholic person or with domestic violence in an otherwise well-functioning household. The question to ask is: How will these childhood experiences play out decades later in a doctor's office? How does one perform reverse alchemy, going from a normal newborn with almost unlimited potential to a diseased, depressed adult? How does one turn gold into lead?

Smoking is a useful starting example to illustrate what we found; moreover, it allows us to start with a minimally threatening topic. In California, there are now profound social pressures against smoking; persistent smoking in the face of these is often attributed to "addiction." But did you know that current smoking has a high degree of association with what happened decades ago in childhood? Figure 1 is a graphic illustration of how the ACE Score has a graded, dose-response effect on the probability of current smoking. The higher the ACE Score, the greater the likelihood of current smoking. This graded, dose-response effect is present for all the associations we found, although I will only present three. All the relations have a p value of .001 or better. Further details of the ACE Study findings are published in a series of articles exploring our findings from the retrospective and prospective arms of the Study.
Figure1. Graph shows relation between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Score and smoking status.

Lest one doubt the significance of smoking, we found that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a strong relationship to the ACE Score. A person with a midrange ACE score of 4 is 390% more likely to have COPD than is a person with an ACE Score of 0. What does this do to the conventional concept of smoking that attributes addiction to characteristics that are intrinsic within nicotine? We instead found "addiction" attributable to characteristics that are intrinsic in early life experiences. If early emotional stress predicts COPD, is COPD properly understood as a psychosomatic condition? Are certain common, chronic, adult diseases the result of attempts at self-treatment of concealed problems that occurred in childhood?

When we looked at self-defined current depression, we found that a person with ACE score >4 was 460% more likely to be depressed than a person with ACE score of 0. Confirming the reliability of this conclusion, we found a 1220% historical increase in attempted suicide between these two groups. For groups with higher ACE scores, incidence of attempted suicide increases thirtyfold to fifty-one fold! Using the analytic technique of population attributable risk, we found that more than two thirds of suicide attempts could be attributed to adverse childhood experiences.
Figure 2. Graph shows relation between longtime smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and ACE Score.
Figure 3. Graph shows relation between ACE Score and illicit use of injected drugs.

Intravenous drug use is a major public health problem. In spite of massive efforts to curtail it, little progress has been made. We found that IV drug use may properly be viewed as a personal solution to problems that are well concealed by social niceties and convention. For example, a male child with an ACE score of 6 has a 4600% increase in the likelihood of later using intravenous drugs. This relation to adverse childhood experiences is powerful and is graded at every step; it provides a perfect dose-response curve; and epidemiologically, these outcomes are nearly unique in magnitude. Because no one shoots heroin to get endocarditis or AIDS, might heroin then be used for relief of profound anguish dating back to childhood experiences? Might it be the best coping device a person can find? If so, is this phenomenon a public health problem or a personal solution? How often are public health problems personal solutions? Is drug abuse self-destructive, or is it a desperate attempt at self-healing, albeit at a significant future risk? This point is important because primary prevention is far more difficult than anticipated--possibly because incomplete understanding of the benefits of so-called health risk behaviors causes these behaviors to be viewed as irrational acts that have only negative consequences. Does this incomplete view of drug abuse leave us mouthing cautionary platitudes instead of understanding the cause of our intractable public health problems?

Beyond these few illustrations, we found many other measures of adult health to have a strong, graded relation to what happened in childhood: hepatitis, heart disease, fractures, diabetes, obesity, alcoholism, occupational health, and job performance. These findings are detailed in the original and subsequent articles and will further be reported in publications of the yet-to-be-analyzed prospective arm of the ACE Study.

Discussion

What do these findings mean for medical practice and for society? Clearly, we have shown that adverse childhood experiences are both common and destructive. This combination makes them one of the most important, if not the most important, determinants of the health and well-being of the nation. Unfortunately, these problems are both painful to recognize and difficult to cope with. Most physicians would far rather deal with traditional organic disease. Certainly, it is easier to do so, but that approach also leads to troubling treatment failure and to the frustration of expensive diagnostic quandaries where everything is ruled out but nothing is ruled in.

Our usual approach to many common adult chronic diseases reminds one of the relation between smoke and fire. A person unfamiliar with fires would initially be tempted to treat the smoke--ie, the most visible aspect of the problem. What we have learned in the ACE Study represents the underlying fire. Fortunately, fire departments learned to distinguish cause from effect long ago; if they had not, they would use fans instead of water hoses.

If the treatment implications of what we found in the ACE Study are far-reaching, the prevention aspects are positively daunting. The very nature of the material is such as to make one uncomfortable. Why would one want to leave the relative comfort of traditional organic disease and enter this area of threatening uncertainty that none of us has been trained to deal with? And yet, as I write these words, I am interrupted to consult on a 70-year-old woman who is diabetic and hypertensive. The initial description given to me omitted the fact that she is morbidly obese (one doesn't go out of one's way to identify what one can't handle). Review of her chart shows her to be chronically depressed, never married, and, because we ask the question of 57,000 adults a year, to have been raped by her elder brother six decades ago when she was ten. The same brother also molested her sister, who also is said to be leading a troubled life.

We found that 22% of our Health Plan members were sexually abused as children. How does that affect a person later in life? What does it mean that early sexual abuse is never spoken of? We find it useful routinely to ask all patients acknowledging this experience, "How did that affect you later in life?"

What, then, is this woman's diagnosis? Is she just another hypertensive, diabetic old woman, or is there more to the practice of medicine? Here is the way we conceptualized her problems:

Childhood sexual abuse

Chronic depression

Morbid obesity

Diabetes mellitus

Hypertension

Hyperlipidemia

Coronary artery disease

Macular degeneration

Psoriasis

This is not a comfortable diagnostic formulation; it points out that our attention is comfortably focused on tertiary consequences far downstream. The diagnosis shows that the primary issues are well protected by social convention and taboo and points out that we have limited ourselves to the smallest part of the problem: the part where we are comfortable as mere prescribers of medication. Which diagnostic choice shall we make? Who shall make it? And if not now, when?

Transformation through Nutritional Cleansing

2009-02-04T08:48:16Z

Nutritional Cleansing is something I began incorporating into my lifestyle a few years ago, but it was just during my recent cleanse that its poignancy really came into focus for me. Interestingly, it seems that people are coming out of the woodwork this year to explore it too! I have a strong feeling that this has something to do with the current state of the economy. People are getting back to basics & reevaluating their values & lifestyles. While other businesses are experiencing precarious decline, or even shutting down, massage therapists & holistic health practitioners are seeing an increase in their business. This tells me that people are now prioritizing their health & wellbeing more than ever.

2009 is a year of Change, and Nutritional Cleansing helps create space for clarity and insight to enter and guide us while providing energy, focus, and the physical and emotional stability to support us in making vital change.

I've come to learn through observation & experience how the process of cleansing can be challenging because it literally resets the brain's chemistry, and along with it, familiar, comfortable habits of not just lifestyle, but even thoughts and beliefs which affect our self image and how we relate to and perceive others.

Every emotion has specific neurotransmitters and patterns in our brain. The brain can literally become addicted to the chemicals of emotions just like caffeine, heroin, meth, alcohol, etc. Similarly, we can become addicted to emotional/mental complexes such as "drama" or feeling "worthless" -and the stories & perceptions that reinforce that feeling.

Depression is an easy example I like to use to illustrate this dynamic. When our bodies get depressed from lack of nutrients, too much toxicity, too little sleep, not enough hydration, not enough exercise, combating pathogens, etc. our energy goes down and this physical depression is *felt* and becomes an emotional depression.

If you resolve any of these physical factors, your emotional state will reflect it. That's why when I have a family member, friend or client show up with depression, I always cover these physical basics with them before anything else.

The reverse works as well. When someone breaks our heart, or we lose a loved one, we become emotionally depressed, and we feel that in our body as low energy, fatigue, and generally feeling un-well.

Because it works both ways between emotions & body, we can salve most of our initial depression from a broken heart through nutrition, cleansing, exercise, hydration & rest. When we shift the chemical balance of our brain away from depression, we can reinforce our feelings of wellness by affirming positive notions such as all that one has to be thankful for in their life and how fortunate they truly are.

So for people who have lived most of their life in chronic depression, or with victim consciousness, cleansing can present both a profound opportunity as well as great challenge for transforming that. When one's identity depends on (is addicted to) feelings of anger, resentment, unworthiness, depression, fear, etc. doing a cleanse literally presents a threat to that identity. As we transform our brain chemistry, we transform our Selves on every other level. Doing a cleanse and getting better nutrition requires changing our lifestyle & habits.

For me, my greatest nemesis is gorging on pizza, cake, ice cream & soda late at night after a long day of doing massage. I recently turned 35, and I've been finding it harder to keep myself lean. Worse than that however is that I've noticed my vision degenerating! I knew this was due to my Nemesis and that I needed to change this habit.

So I did the Isagenix 9-Day Nutritional Cleanse to help me "reset" my brain chemistry to support me in making this change. Doing the cleanse helped me come to realize the different unconscious reasons I had for this habit. First, I realized that I was eating these things to GROUND myself and get back in my body for self-preservation on the psychic/energy level after working on all these people (usually 5-8, not including the energies of all my co-workers).

Shortly after that I realized that I ate for COMFORT too. This went even deeper for me as I quickly realized that I haven't eaten socially -particularly with family- for many years. I usually eat by myself. I realized then that there was this element of depression & isolation involved with this eating habit of mine.

After this epiphany, I also thought that I may be REWARDING myself by eating these particular foods for having done a long hard day of work. This led me to another insight where I found myself continuing to eat way past the point of feeling full because I wanted to continue experiencing the joy of different tastes & textures. With the prior insight in mind, I identified this form of eating as ENTERTAINMENT.

So with all of this association, it's easy to see why it could seem so threatening to give up this eating habit. It represents loss of comfort, boredom, and vulnerability, but also feelings of depression and isolation which as I said before can be just as addictive and adopted by the unconscious identity. Transforming these feelings & thoughts not only requires a change in my lifestyle, but confronting deep & powerful feelings related to self & family.

To this end, a colleague & I developed a support program for people who are doing cleanses. I'll share the principles of it so you can integrate them into your own process of cleansing & transformation and work with practitioners you're familiar with.

One can align their energies to hold the space for transformation though specific Acupuncture or Acupressure sequences such as the "Bridge Channel" or the "Regulating Channel" to name just a couple.

Essential oils are also exceptionally helpful! I always use Young Living for their purity & formulation. My favorites for transformation are "Dreamcatcher", "Valor" & "Harmony" & "Transformation".

Getting lymphatic massage & good old fashioned nurturing swedish or even vigorous shiatsu or tui na can help keep one grounded in their body and connected to earthy life energies to better hold the course.

I've found that doing a cleanse with one or more friends or family members also helps greatly and adds not only fun but lends a sense of community & support as one re-invents aspects of their self.

Some people may need counseling as well -or even just a forum like this where they can relate their feelings & issues as they go through their process and get perspective and feedback that can help them think outside their box.

I hope this is all helpful to you, and invite more thoughts, techniques & experiences that can help myself and other readers here to get more out of life!

RTRRT – A Last Word

Copyright © 2007 by Klaudio Zic, all rights reserved. http://www.lulu.com/astrology

In closing our RTRRT series we wish an encompassed issue to your own dignified pursuit. We know where it will lead you since we have been there ourselves and still are.

It was comparatively easy and fun to master the RTRRT and instant magick. Everyone can do it with a little faith, that is clear vision. Luckily there is not so many people who believe in miracles. There is even less that believe in themselves and quite a few that believe in GOD. That makes our company modest. Some will immediately grasp the concept and develop it but some will nag and fail. That is the way with the force. The uncalled will triumph while the aficionado will stumble. The ways of the LORD are unfathomable.

The end of all pursuit is the dissolution of selfishness much as in the Lord of the Rings.

Could we add a little charm? to our statement :|:|:: to serve in dark times as it served us, too. When war and Satan, corrupt men and inorganic are upon you, hold fast to faith (yes we know the pursuit will lead you there). In becoming a great man of honesty and might you will tend to absorb the adventures of great men of the past. You will find many references to the Holy Bible within our own publications, especially those whose birth happened during the hard year 2007. Our own fight, doubt and clearing are recorded within the publications that are waiting for you. You do not know which one but we are positive that your own publication is waiting for you and will find you.

There will be some repetition, even error, uncharted paths and inconsistency. Some will regret bitterly having embarked upon such a straight but also hardly fathomable path. We can not possibly alleviate your own burden since in doing so you would lose your own way, your responsibility and dignity. Selfishness is the bitter fruit of false ego that has to be eradicated at all cost. Only after such pristine distillment one can transcend egotism.

When there is no consciousness of a separate self what emerges is empathy and unity. One is one with all life.

The real time reality rendering tools will serve as baptism into a mystical experience of GOD even as false ego falls into the trap as hidden within the very techniques. One will ultimately intuit that techniques may serve as ladders to faith but faith needs no techniques.

Where faith is present, techniques do not hold sway. Where there is lot of ritual there is lack of faith. Perhaps this is the lesson for the Hamites and even the best of all.

Best Method for Healing

2008-08-28T13:05:52Z

I have emotional blocks from my past that are interfering with my growth process. Is it that I don't want to let go of them or can they be completely cleared out. I want to get rid of them because as an empath I want to get close to people but when it does get a bit close I tend to run the other way. I want to be accepted and close to others without the bs coming up and putting me in fight but mainly flight mode.

Thanks!!

my friend was murdered...

2008-03-03T08:50:11Z

I had a beautiful fairy friend....
She was a shining spirit - full of life and creativity....
But most of all - she was the embodiment of Pure, Unconditional Love....
She loved everybody - always smiling - always saying "hello Love", "goodbye Love"...
Always singing "Love, Love, Love"....
Her life was a work of art and her being was pure inspiration and joy....
I loved her - everyone she ever met loved her....

Then I found out she was brutally murdered....
She was in Asia - home alone - someone tried to rob her - she fought back and was stabbed to death....
Grief, shock and disbelief overcame me....

I could not get my head around it - I could not believe that this could happen to one of the most wonderful people on this earth....
she did not deserve to go like this....
I could not imagine the fear and terror she must have felt with her last breath....
the thought of it made me physically ill....

I understand that we all must die....
and yes, it's tragic that she had to pass - her time had come - etc....
But NOT like this - how could someone so peaceful and full of unconditional love and light suffer her last day of life like this....
This can not be the way - this is just not fair - this can't be the way the universe works - it just can't.....

A week had passed after I heard the news...
I couldn't come to terms with it....
I was listening to a Pema Chodron discourse on audio....
I was deep in a meditative state...
Then Pema Chodron said "whatever you choose to be aware of - the universe will serve up the opposite to help you become more aware...
if you want to practice patience - the universe will give you irritating situations so you can become aware of your impatience....
if you want to practice mindfulness - the universe will give you mind-less situations so you can become more aware...."

At that moment I received a download from the universe....
My friend was murdered because she believed in unconditional love.... she WAS the embodiment of Unconditional Love...
so she was killed in the worst way in order for her soul to practice and forgive and unconditionally love her killer....
This was her soul lesson...
If she did - her soul would not come back to this earth plane as a human - but ascend to the next realm of Angels and Muses....
The universe always unfolds for our greatest good - to bring our souls closer to source....
The universe only gives you what you can handle.... and her soul must have been so close to pure that she could handle it....
otherwise it wouldn't have been so....

This was the message I received....
and at that moment I felt like I understood....
and an awesome presence of peace came over me....
"she can do it" - I thought... she can transcend....!
I wholeheartedly believed this message - I truly believed that she was liberated from the mortal bondage of death and re-birth and that she has now gone to somewhere higher - where her love and light could do so much more profound work than on this human realm...

Today they found her killer....
he sold the things he had stolen from her home for $300...
that was all her life was worth... 300 dollars....
And instantly, that peace I had felt before vanished....
Instead I heard a voice in my head telling me that what I had realized before - what I thought was a download from the universe - was just my mind's way of rationalizing this heinous crime.... because I could not emotionally handle her death....
The voice said that there is no justice in this universe....
and that my friends death was just a cold, cruel, accident - it could happen to anybody - it just happened to be one of the most precious creatures on the planet....

If this is true - if there really is no rhyme or reason - if it just happened to be wrong place - wrong time - then I am not sure I can go on...
Then this whole world is pointless.... and everything is just random....
and there is no use to try to love - to try to help - to try to heal....
if this could just "happen" - then there is no karma - no wrong or right....

I want to believe that what my insight from the universe revealed was real - that there is some sort of order to this universe - some sort of soul evolution - some sort of kind universally all-loving spirit that guides us for our highest and greatest good....
but my mind is telling me that it's just a big rationalization and that the universe just exists - it is indifferent - and doesn't really care one way or the other...
it just goes on....

I don't know which one is real anymore...
I don't know what is real anymore...
I don't know what the point of this existence is....

I am feeling confused, cynical and a bit schizophrenic by all of this....
any insights from this tribe will be a great help in helping me to sort this tragedy out and come to some sort of terms....
Thank you for just letting me blurt this all out...

Experience An India Yoga Odyssey

2008-01-11T01:38:50Z

Experience a Transforming India YOGA Odyssey
(February 21 to March 6, 2008)

Just imagine your airplane touching down at the India airport of your choice – Mumbai or Ahmadabad – on Thursday, February 21, 2008. Awaiting you at the airport is your guide, who will escort you by rail or taxi to your hotel accommodations in Surat City, Gujarat State. You will have arrived just in time to take in the World Yoga Championships, either as a participant or as a spectator. If anyone wishes to participate in the Championships the necessary registration forms can be downloaded at www.lifemission.org. The Championships run from February 22 though February 24. (The Championships were primarily founded as a means for encouraging youth worldwide to engage themselves in the ageless science of yoga for the betterment of body, mind and spiritual development in similar fashion that society worldwide encourages youth to participate in common sporting events.)

Following the Championships, you will be escorted to Malav Ashram for a five night stay, which includes three days of “hands on” yogic training under the expert guidance of Acharya Yogendradev, who has taught in North America, Taiwan, and India

And now – the Tours – you will tour the historic spiritual pilgrimage site of Kayavarohan and visit the Brahmeshwar Temple of Lord Lakulish (the 28th incarnation of Lord Shiva). You will spend 5 nights at a beautiful oceanside resort near the city of Div, overlooking the Indian Ocean with its miles of sandy beaches, and visit surrounding points of interest including the renowned Somnath Temple; a lion wildlife reserve, an ayurvedic clinic of a renowned ayurvedic physician where you will be able to observe the natural preparation of ayurvedic medicines and receive a free medical check-up. You will also have the opportunity to visit the temple complex at Rajrajeshwardham, where Lord Lakulish materialized in his divine body on January 29, 2007. Then – another great grace awaits you – you will have the rare opportunity of having darshan with the highly advanced yogi, Swami Rajarshi Muni.*

Now your yoga trip is reaching its end – on March 6, you will be escorted by your guide to your departure airport for your trip home – to reflect on and absorb your many yoga experiences of the past 2 weeks; the multitudes of wondrous Indian sites you've seen; the unmatched hospitality of its people and the many lasting new friendships you've made.

The cost per participant is $ 695.00 USD. This price does not include your transportation costs to and from India, which is entirely your responsibility, as are any required passports, visas etc. This price does include designated tour accommodations and meals in India, and all ground transportation to the Championships and touring sites in India, as well as ground transportation to and from airports at Mumbai or Ahmedabad. Any profits after all costs have been met will be directed to projects for the poor, including schools and hospitals. For further information, go to www.lifemission.org, or email: Acharya Yogendradev, ggvaghela@yahoo.com; or Dennis Konchak, lifema@telus.net; or Hans Splinter, Hsplinter@cogeco.ca.

* Swami Rajarshi Muni is the author of a vast library of nearly 100 titles in four different languages, including ten books in English. Some of the English titles are: Classical Hatha Yoga, Divine Body Through Yoga; Tenets for the Spiritual Life; Infinite Grace (The Story of My Spiritual Lineage), Awakening the Life Force, and Light from Guru to Disciple. For more information, check the Life Mission website www.lifemission.org and www.amazon.com under Rajarshi Muni

Aspects of the Inner Child - the Child must maintain happiness (love) despite the ups and downs

2007-12-14T17:37:35Z

The (inner) child must be encouraged to never allow happiness (love) to escape from her. She must remain herself in-spite of unhappy situations. In an unhappy situation the feeling of joy maybe changed to love. In harsh situations the feeling of love turns into pain. Then let pain be sacrifice, a cleaning process to reach a new level of love and experience more joy. more love and more beauty... later on, after the unhappy time has passed. If the child refuses to accept the pain as a sacrifice for her own improvement, then let her make the sacrifice for the Divine who is bringing her closer through the inner cleansing process. The spirit of sacrifice automatically restores love.

Imagine what strength these thoughts may give to the child's mind. Instead of crying in misery the child is encouraged to stand for her Self, the Divine.

The shock was strong when she fell on the floor and her happiness fluttered away at once. But a strong sense of self came to her, "Where I come from, I am a special girl, " she thought. A soft feeling remained in her heart. She suddenly knew who she was, and she was great!

Human Holography

2007-09-14T14:51:08Z

Holographic living has been a recent repeating concept in my meditations. I’ve been exploring what it means to live holographically. What I’ve gathered is just a fraction of the information yet to come. Nevertheless, here is where I start.

Remember those 3-D Magic Eye books you spent hours looking at when you were younger? Remember that sometimes it revealed itself in seconds, and other times you couldn’t see it no matter how long you looked. This concept sparked a pivotal question for me—am I functioning with holographic information? And more importantly, am I being holographic? Let me back up one second and say that even though I was the one asking the questions, I didn’t necessarily understand the questions I was asking. Often I don’t until I get the answer; and sometimes not even then. But that has no bearing on my ability to integrate the information and evolve.

My first meditation on holography (did I make that term up? Maybe.) was quite revealing to me. I set my intention to work on healing some root chakra pictures. I used my version of AP to access information at Mary’s Garden—a wonderfully nurturing place if you’ve never been there. Once there, Mary led me by the hand to sit next to a waterfall. There she gave me a handful of dirt and told me to hold some earth while my root opened to heal. I could feel layers of pictures fading away as patterns around my relationships illuminated, then disappeared. Next, she handed me a crystal ball. This crystal ball was actually one I’d been playing with the week prior. It was not clear, but full of crystalline architecture that appeared in different formations depending on how it was positioned to reflect the light. I held this ball, and Mary said, “Do you see how the insides, although full of depth and myriad formations, only reveal that which is reflective? At each turn you see a different snapshot of what’s inside, but never do you get to experience the full depth. This is how you live; this is how most people live—reflecting only snapshots of themselves in the different situations that make up their lives.” I understood this very well. I’ve spent a lifetime compartmentalizing and rationing pieces of myself that fit this situation or that. Mary then went on to say, “In order to live holographically you must learn how to dance between the spaces of action and reaction. Then you will bring all of your depth to the moment.”

Here’s the dichotomy I’ve often faced in enigmatic situations like these; do I try to congnitively make sense of her words and label them, or do I just let them go and potentially miss the learning? I’ve realized lately that to run them through my cognitive realm is to dampen the learning, and sometimes actually prevent it. In this case, I set my intention to “integrate” and bypass the label piece. I came out of the meditation sure I had learned something magical about how to embrace my human holography, but unsure of what that would look like. It was the next day that I received my validation.

I was driving with my daughter who was quite upset and crying. I felt myself reflecting her cries back at her. I understand the concept of yielding, but I was unable to put it into practice in the moment. Then I heard Mary’s voice remind me to dance in the spaces of action and reaction. In that moment I became all of my depth so that her cries were no longer interacting with “Mommy”, but also with the many other facets of me. Her cries had the opportunity to experience my wholeness, and she instantly stopped. There was no conscious map I followed, no prescribed technique. I just went with the knowledge that my meditation prepared me with abilities I didn’t have before. I am eager to bring my holography into more of my life, and curious to see how it impacts my world. This journey has just begun for me, but is tapping information I’ve gathered and stored for eternity. God, I love those dichotomies!

Thoughts on learning from the Astral

2007-09-04T15:02:33Z

This is a rich subject about which I can only share my truth. Trust your own information on this topic and take from this only what serves you. It’s been a life-long journey of mine to visit the astral and experience all the magical and otherworldly treasures is has to offer. At a certain point that enticing space began to present the question, “So now you know how to get here, what are you taking back with you?” I did not know.
What are my lessons? And how does this information integrate into my bodyworld? Ultimately that is my highest purpose on this planet—to evolve as a being in this body until the end, when my body is no more.
When I began to cognitively evaluate the astral information I was gleening, I became frustrated, stuck, and needing answers. This overlayed an atmosphere of expectation around my astral journeys and my intuitive information gathering. It is difficult to be open to all that’s before me when I’m in a picture of expectation. In those moments I am only able to see that which I expect. This begged the question, “How much do I miss this way?”
Where I’ve landed at present is that to analyze my higher knowledge information is to try to sift it through a strainer that’s too small—it only allows the smallest of insights to seep through. A technique that has helped me immensely is to say an affirmation or set an intention before and after my astral journeys that goes something like this: “I am collecting valuable information for my highest good. It integrates in my body, mind and soul without effort or analyzation. I evolve towards my highest good with ease and grace.”
I’ve found recently that I do not need to label and cognitively understand a lesson in order to learn and grow from it. Often, I don’t even know I’ve integrated it until I find myself acting differently, or no longer re-acting the same way. . .in other words, being differently. I sometimes even start my journeys with a lesson I’d like to learn in mind. For instance, I may say I’d like to learn about unconditional love. Then I’ll go into my meditation and on to the astral or into my intuitive information. When I’m done I speak my affirmation and simply allow myself to notice how I “am” in life. Sometimes the difference is immediate, and at other times it’s gradual. But as long as I stay open to integration and outside of expectation, I am presented with unlimited lessons, teachers and healings.
Choose and affirmation for yourself that rings true, or use the one I’ve presented. Either way, take comfort in the knowledge that the lessons don’t have to be learned through analysis, pain and punishment, but can be imbued and digested with ease and grace.

Sharing a life experience in holding my space

2007-08-27T16:28:25Z

We’ve all been in situations where we find ourselves behaving in ways we know is either contrary to the good of the moment, or not in line with what would be most healing. In these moments our egos are in the driver’s seat. We are driven by our ego’s need for validation and instant gratification. To act outside of our egos is one way in which we can hold our own space. This is often an unfamiliar and difficult task. I have been blessed to have had a recent intense lesson in holding my space.

I’ve had quite an amazing connection with a beautiful and magical man for many years, albeit sporadic. I haven’t seen him in years and he was coming through town with his partner. My task was to be sensitive to his relationship, and not call upon any of our past connection. I knew I’d see this man, but was not sure what form it would take. I was in fear most of the month, preparing for the encounter, or non-encounter that would ensue.

The weekend came. I and some friends attended two concerts this man and his partner put on. There was no drama, and for most of the two nights I was simply happy to be listening to his beautiful music.
There was also a very contrived and rigid lack of recognition. He would not look at me, nor talk to me. This is as I expected.

It wasn’t until the last moment of the final concert night that I got my biggest test. I had held my space well up until that point, not allowing my ego to search for and validate our past connection. The last song brought in some of his amazing magic, and my heart opened in such a beautiful and painful way. Here was magic, magic I had been the recipient of at one point – a magic I was no longer able to touch. I watched my ego go through a small death as I realized this once amazing connection was not for me, not for now. I so desperately wanted simply some eye contact to validate my ego’s belief that I had been special. But there was none of that.

So I watched as this sadness engulfed me, then moved out. Holding my space in that moment, not allowing my ego to receive its validation, offered me a release. In that release I gained more room for myself, and my open heart began to fill with compassion instead of sadness.
I was able to hold some non-judgmental room for the process this man needed to go through for the sake of his current relationship.

My friends were some of my greatest teachers that weekend; grounding me when necessary, role-modeling loving compassion, and offering me unconditional support. I’m grateful to them, and thankful for my lessons.

I used my energetic tools constantly during that experience to help the fear remain fluid and not stick. My tools enabled me to watch and experience my little ego death. And it’s quite ironic that with each of those moments comes more of our own divinity.

A damaged soul from Singapore.

2007-08-20T18:35:43Z

My life has been so blocked now that I do not know where to start writing. I am very glad to come across cord cutting on this portal for I have zero knowledge on spiritual stuff, though I have been living with a partner who is doing spiritual work.

I have been a free thinker all these years till I met my partner who is doing spiritual work like reiki and angel card readings. Things has been going bad for I do not what is it about her that I feel so insecure and untrusting. I just feel that she is so secretive about her every movements. I just cannot trust her in contacting and having a close relationship with her male clients. Recently, I began to realise that she is lying to me. I had a tarot card readings about a month ago and the reader told me that my partner is cheating or going to cheat on me! I was close to tears during the reading and the reader told me, the relationship will most likely end in three months. She told me that if I stay in the relationship, I will have to endure for my partner will not change.

Since then, my partner has been trying to break up whenever we argue.Not only she states our differences, she claims that my negative energies are blocking all her opportunities at work and causing her loss of clients. I was really heart broken and confused when she said these to me. Why is it me who affect her with my negative energies when I myself are suffering in the relationship (such as losing concentration at work, losing weight and appetite etc) and is more and material needs so much more important than the person she loves?

Till two weeks ago, I gave in all ways to try and make her happy. Things started to change. She began having interviews from newspapers and she begins to have a steady flow of clients. I feel that she is somehow using my positive energies? Because deep inside she does not love me anymore and wishes to break up, why is she still holding onto me? Is there such thing as making use of my positive energies now to draw these clients to her?

Till now, she is still wanting to break up every other day.She continues to have opportunities knocking on her doors while I am still suffering from hurt deep inside from her constant requests for break ups.

Can a psychic do this to me? Will this bring karma to her? I really really love her but somehow I just do not feel good about this relationship and I really wish to cut whatever cords that are making me so upset and depressed every day.

I am in need of help and thus reposting in other tribes. I want to clear whatever emotions or fears that are causing me to be insecure in this relationship and for refusing to letting go of a relationship that is not working.

Thanks to all for readings this long post.

Jude.

Anyone in West LA up for rearranging reality from the inside out?

2007-08-18T15:04:14Z

I just posted an event listing for Integrative Awakening / Living Dharma Satsang.

This is a highly unusual version of a spiritual path, in that it integrates psycho-emotional clearing with spiritual integration. So, we do use a basic meditation form, and out of that, issues will arise, and we address those issues in the group, for as many people who are wanting to work, as we have time for.

It's not just group therapy, and it's not just a meditation group. This is a path to awakening, a practice that you can do while driving, shopping, cleaning house, hanging out with friends, and eventually while engaging frontal lobes for left-brain activities such as desk jobs! (Getting to that point takes awhile; at first I couldn’t hold the awareness and talk at the same time. It’s a muscle, and you have to work it out.)

We use a heart-centered meditation technique, bringing awareness out of the head down to the heart, with Vipassana-style awareness of body sensations in the areas of the heart and belly. This practice is simple, powerful, and as effective as you want to make it. I have never been able to do sitting meditation consistently in this lifetime, and in only four months, I have gotten to the point that I LIKE doing a one-hour sit in the morning, and feel “off” if I miss it!

We meet on Sunday afternoons starting at 2 pm. Check out the “Integrative Awakening” section on my profile for more info.

Why meditate?

2007-08-14T03:31:19Z

A question that often comes up when I teach meditation is “Why should we meditate?” Most of us are aware of the basic benefits related to stress management, relaxation, and improving the overall quality of life. There are a vast amount of meditation practices, philosophies and techniques. But the commonality is that each one leads to the expansion of our spirit by way of neutrality.

Neutrality is a way to live life in present time without the static of fear or judgment. The path to neutrality involves finding tools that bring us out of past experiences and into the present moment. Being in the present gives us the clarity to make choices instead of being stuck in our patterns and belief systems. It also enables us to move through fear with ease, and step out of judgment and into self-love. When we do this we expand our comfort zone and destroy our limits. Once we do this we are free to act from our true potential.

Meditation permits us to look inward at our true selves. For some of us meditation is the only mode that allows self reflection. Through meditation we begin to look at ourselves in neutrality and then see what is limiting us in life. I find that my limits are self-imposed. When I experience fear or function in judgment I am limiting my spirit, life, and self. The more I look at my judgments of others the more I realize I am actually criticizing myself and stunting my growth.

My goal is to be aware of when I am not in the present moment, when I am stuck in fear, and when I am in judgment. If I am aware of these things I can change my behavior pattern and destroy the self-made stifling obstacles. The result is personal growth, which has endless possibilities.

Anger

2007-07-25T00:31:05Z

I seem to be a target for people dumping anger. This has been true a good portion of my life, but now seems to be a constant. I am attacked by people who I just met!!! I mean the anger in them is boiling such that they are shaking??? It arises over practically nothing, I may just state an innocent point of view and bam...attacked!!

I have also noticed that his happens more frequently with women...but some men. Further, I am increasely not "liked" by folks, but people who "like" me think I am just great.

I now find that i don't want to meet anyone new, I avoid in person meetings at work etc. What could this be?

Getting past the trauma

2007-06-25T19:27:16Z

Hi! I am new to this tribe. About a year and a half ago, I went through a horrible divorce. I was in a triad with a woman and my ex and was hurt very badly, to the point in which it was very abusive. I barely made it out of the situation with with my sense of self and I am still healing from it. However, I am just so frustrated! I want to let it go. I want to forgive even though these two people don't even feel remorse. But my anger, my fear, my sadness over this trauma continues to block me. I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

My Book Finally Arrived

2007-05-20T02:12:04Z

I am so excited to post this Press Release about my new book. It is such a thrill. Please contact me for more info if you have ideas about where to distribute or do book signings. Wow, wow, wow! I promise you a great read!

Love & Gratitude,
Laurie Handlers

New York, NY - For Immediate Release: Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy

In this book Tantra yoga is explained by a true Tantra goddess. Laurie’s take on Tantra, Tantric sex and how they relate to intimacy will have you laughing and possibly crying – you will definitely look within. You may even find a way to transform your relationships in the process. That’s what Tantra is all about according to Sex & Happiness author Handlers – Tantra = transformation through pleasure!

Book Reviews:

“Terrific! A great time. Growth and awareness, kindled by Laurie’s wisdom and sense of humor, await you.” – Dr Judy Kuriansky, author: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Tantric Sex

“SEX & HAPPINESS puts the innocence an love back into sex and gives Tantra the respect it deserves in the West. Take charge of your life – emotionally, physically and spiritually. A wonderful meditation on the self.” Alan Steinfeld, producer/host: New Realities TV

“Authentic! Handlers offers you a priceless opportunity to ‘grow your love’ in a playful way. Her down to earth style captures the depth and profundity of Tantra. SEX & HAPPINESS will make you smile inside!” - Cynthia Taylor Lamborne, owner: Nectar Products, Tantric Tools for Sexual Healing

Excerpts from Sex and Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy

“Even after listing sexual expansion techniques, I would still say, “Come to the bedroom with no expectations, but rather with openness in your heart for whatever happens.” And you would probably say, “Yeah, well, if I could do that I wouldn’t need to read this book, now would I?” And you would be right. This whole book is about regaining the unguarded openness of your heart and bringing it to sex.

Have you heard the Zen expression, beginner’s mind? It’s a way of being in the world like everything in it is new. There is no expectation, no pain from a history of hurts and humiliations. Everything is experienced from an alert yet unguarded place. It’s a fresh, open, childlike state of mind. Practicing Tantra is one path to this clear, childlike place, but it doesn’t just happen. It takes work and training to come back to the open and loving place that is our natural state, because there’s so much grief and rage to be dealt with between now and then, so much shame and guilt, and so many ideas about how we should be in love, in relationship, and in sex.”

“Intimacy with someone else requires, first and foremost, coming to peace with your own emotional and physical life. This is not a small task, but it is a crucial one. It takes time and courage and forgiveness, coming from you to you. If you want a love affair that is sexually electric and truly intimate, you have to begin by unblocking and unleashing the sex force that is already inside you and learning to feel safe expressing it, in whatever way feels right to you. In order to do that, fear and rage and grief – feelings that you’ve learned to resist – have to be acknowledged and cleared out on a regular basis, and that alone can be one heck of a ride.

What I’m trying to say is that this whole process is going to take time. It’s going to take some time, a lot of tolerance, and a lot of deep breathing. Fasten your seatbelt and settle in for the ride.”

The chapters are based on the Ten Tantric Laws of Intimacy Laurie Handlers teaches in her Ecstasy Advanced Tantra course. They are:

Law 1: Be Your Own Witness
Law 2: Please Yourself
Law 3: Practice Emotional Release
Law 4: Honor Your Anger
Law 5: Speak Your Truth
Law 6: Set Your Boundaries
Law 7: Look in the Mirror of Your Beloved
Law 8: Practice Full Contact Confrontation
Law 9: Surrender
Law 10: Make Love in the Unknown

In her Tantra workshops, Laurie often begins dinner with desert first so in her book Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy she begins with Law 10: Make Love in the Unknown and then works you all the way through the rest of the other Intimacy Laws in order 1 – 9 so that you can arrive back at the sweetest part Law 10. The book is a “how to” look into modern intimacy establishing a new paradigm at a time when 50% of marriages fail. It includes tips, real life examples and chapter summaries for you to follow in your own life.

The book can be ordered at www.butterflyworkshops.com and sells for $19.99 plus shipping and handling. The eBook sells for $14.99. The audio book will be available soon!

The spiritual meaning of your life challenges

2007-05-19T00:16:16Z

If the moderators will kindly permit a new book announcement, I would like to tell people about a spirituality book I’ve written and recently published that may be of interest and service.

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth.

The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents.

The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four very gifted mediums and channels, including one who has the ability both to see and to hear the conversations we have with one another before we’re born. The book therefore contains the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned these challenges.

As readers come to understand that they themselves planned many of their challenges, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

A free PDF with a large sample of the book is available on the About the Book page at www.CourageousSouls.com. People may also wish to read the reviews on Amazon.

The book may be ordered on the Courageous Souls web site or from Amazon, including Amazon Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. It may also be ordered from any bookstore or library (in most countries) by providing them with the ISBN number (9780977679454).

Thank you for permitting me to post this message.

Kind regards,
Robert Schwartz

how to win the fight?

2007-05-03T12:36:07Z

a problem

deep in me i know that there is a source of light, but i have no access to it.
the life i`m living is somehow a masochistic one. i have many abilities but somehow i could not make them to gold.
i know my faults but i can`t erase them. I know how, but knowing without doing is just "not knowing". now i am faced
with a lot of problems und changes in my life. deep in me i am a man who is a harmonic and calm one, but at the same time
i am also a man who is really agressive, filled with fear and anger and hate. in my life i faced many spiritual experiences
which show me that i am not alone and that my existence has a meaning. but i have loosed touch to it. i feel that i have no access to it.
the fate is not willing to give me answers or help somehow. the best description for my situation i`m in is the story of star wars.
i can identify perfectly with figure of annakin skywalker who is on the way to the dark side of power. i feel the need of the dark side of power
in order to get drive into my life and my personality, but on the other side i also see the importance of the bright light in me which could bring love and health.
i do not know how to win this struggle. the only way i see is to manage somehow the balance between those forces..but how?

please inspire me with your thoughts

with kindly regards

healing crisis or what?

2007-05-02T13:25:08Z

Hi, I have a question: why releasing an emotion or a pattern (or meditating for that matter) often triggers some physical problem?
for instance, I once was using EFT (emotional freedom technique) to release a trauma, and I kept coughing during the session and my throat began to feel really closed up (no problem prior to the session) after the session I began feeling worse and worse and nothing was helping, not even EFT, and this went on for a month, it turned out I had a strep throat and it took a month to clear
now this could be a coincidence if you don't take into account that for me developing physical problem after or during a clearing is too common, and it's almost never like a "detox symptom" like flu-like symptoms, it's usually something more serious
I'd welcome emotional pain during a clearing or even a clearing period, it'd be normal, but these physical problem are too much too handle, and they are the reason I've been stalling my emotional clearing and growth, because I always try to give it another try, to try to deny the evidence but then I end up with another physical problem
Do you have any advice or ideas if it's possible to overcome this problem?

in desperate need of physical healing...

2007-03-31T02:54:26Z

I'm reaching out to the tribe so that hopefully those that need to can hear my cry. I'm 22 and have manifested a congenital heart defect (enlarged heart) through what I believe is my own doing and being, and fear its implications (sudden death) for what could conceivably be the rest of my life. I know we have the ability to heal ourselves and that this is a mind sickness manifested in my body temple, but I unfortunately have not developed many powers. I'm a poor college student whose already drowning in bills, but will give the most i possibly can if you need or want money. If you can help me in any way, please contact me and advise. Thank you.

Using EFT for PTSD question

2007-03-10T16:21:00Z

Hey folks,

Do any of you have experience using EFT for folks with PTSD (yourself or clients)? Were you able to clear/cure the PTSD such that anxiety was no longer experienced, or was EFT found useful only as an ongoing tool to quell panic attacks rather than prevent them?

Ready to Release Hurt

2006-12-26T00:25:40Z

Being a Cancer on cusp of Leo, my family life is an important, magnified part of my life... it makes sense then that I came into this life with issues to be overcome with family members... along with this, getting attention is important as a Leo....

My parents divorced in my freshman year of high school around Christmas time... my mother had been sick for most of my life... when I was born she almost died, when I was a toddler she had panic attacks and other people had to take care of me and my brother, and then when I was in 6th grade she had breast cancer........... then my parents split up, she moved into a condo a few minutes away... a lot of things changed...

I would definitely say that my life is probably much better this way than it would have been if she had stayed... but I have a lot of hurt I'm ready to release... I always had this connection with my mom... pretty much, when she suffers, I suffer more... and I've tried to talk to her about it but she's like a toddler taking a tantrum (picture: a toddler plugging their ears and stomping their feet saying "I cannn'tttt heearrr yoouuu")... she'll then ignore me for days. She has no problem not talking to me for weeks...

I refuse to live like this anymore... crying because my mom doesn't love me the way I think she should... I'm now 22... she moved out 8yrs ago... and she doesn't call my brother and I over to spend time with her, she expects us to contact her... but she likes to be needed and when there are children out there without mothers, she helps them... which is good, but its funny, where are your own kids?

I've been lighting a candle everynight before bed and I saw "I forgive you, mom" ... and I tell my angels I'm ready to release this... I know how I sound, I apologize for sounding so angry... I feel this in my heart/stomach energy centers... I'm so nautious...

Message from James Gilliland re: 11/23 mayan calendar

2006-11-24T14:51:03Z

Ultraviolet Blue

As many on the list well know November 23rd , 2006 was a pivotal
point in the awakening and healing of humanity and the Earth. I was
told over and over a big event is coming and the peak of this event
was to be November 23rd. I was also told the negative grid was being
torn down and the support for tyranny is coming to a close. The
tyranny and its systems will begin to unravel at an accelerated pace
with the incoming of the new energies. In meditation I saw an
electric blue grid that looked much like the seams of a soccer ball.
It was firmly in place and I asked was this the big event and was
told, "Yes." I was also told the nature of the grid was to create
Heaven on Earth. The ultraviolet blue grid supports the perfect
incarnation, the perfect whole and healthy body. The more we
actively engage the grid and align with it the sooner we will
experience the blessings it has to offer. We can pull into existence
all of the attributes of the grid through prayer and meditation
literally creating your tomorrow. Surrendering, forgiving and
releasing the past is very important, the attitude of gratitude,
giving thanks will also expedite the awakening and healing process.
We are going to experience over a million years of evolution in just
one year. Between now and November 20007 you are going to see
miracles. Things you would never have dreamed will come to pass,
obstacles removed and the true plan of Creation will come forward.
Avoid fear, do not buy into the terror card, and know it is your
divine right to live a loving, joyous, abundant life in harmony with
each other and nature. That was the original plan and it is coming
back due to popular demand. We are also getting a lot of help and it
would be good to thank daily the Ascended Masters, Angelic Guides
and the Spiritually and Technologically advanced Ets better known as
the greater family of man. It is imperative that each individual
make their own Spirit, God Creator connection, develop your own
inner healer and guidance then act upon that guidance in the days to
come. Changes are upon us. Be well James Gilliland www.eceti.org
Pass it on.

EFT Videos

2006-10-24T09:39:33Z

I noticed on the EFT site that Gary Craig allows people to make copies of his DVDs and distribute them without charge. Would anybody in here be willing to make me a copy? I'd be happy to buy them, but can't afford them right now because I just moved recently, and would rather begin sooner than to have to wait until funds arrive....

Thanks!

childhood trauma, love, light at the end of the tunnel?

2006-10-12T12:02:41Z

Ok so I am 29, I have been dealing with/ healing from childhood abuse and neglect for about 5 years. I have been going to a therapist for years, I have lost the 25 pounds I put on from depression in my early 20's. I fell in love for the first real time about 8 months ago and that brought up all sorts of abandonment issues, issues with trust, safety, etc..
I am wonder if anyone in their 20's or 30's or 40's, whenever you did it. You began processing the things that happened in your childhood, the abuse, the neglect, the depsression, etc.. How did you do it? With therapy, on your own, with a loving partner? How long did it take to feel like the bulk of it was processed? Was it heavy all the time? I feel like the last 7 years have been pretty heavy and now I am coming out from underneath it. What is your 30's looking like? Is their something that happened to you or is it a gradual healing, forgiving of one's parents for thier short comings? What does the other side of this tunnel look like? How did you get through?

EFT Trauma Relief Program in earthquake area Yogyakarta

2006-09-28T17:28:10Z

Report on Emotional Freedom Techniques, Trauma Relief Program in Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia
Date: 28 August 2006
SPIRALL Counseling, Coaching & Training
Deepak Mostert
Email: deepakmostert@gmail.com

The earthquake
On 27 May 2006, an earthquake, 6.3 on the Scale of Richter, hit the Yogykarta area. Since then there have been hundreds of minor earthquakes in the area and the nearby volcano Merapi is very active.

The details are that; 5,722 people died, 50,000 people were injured, 350,000 houses damaged or destroyed and 1,500,000 people are homeless. The infrastructure was damaged but mostly still intact.

School program
The NGO, Yayasan Bahari Indonesia and Pak Cahyo Alkantana were my hosts.

When I arrived at Camp Bawuran, there was already an ongoing program for the schools. The school program was to support the teachers and children by organizing creative activities and Disaster Awareness training. This training was instruction in how to act in case of new disasters in a practical way and social studies information on earthquakes and tsunami’s. The EFT Trauma Relief Training was added and integrated into the school program.

EFT Trauma Relief Program
Our main concern was the numerous reports and observations from volunteers about many children, parents and teachers, who were traumatized by the earthquake. These reports were about the impact in loss of lives, bodily harm and material damage, and the many earthquakes that have followed.

Setup EFT TR Program
For the younger children, 5-8 years, I would first teach them EFT Trauma Relief as a game. Firstly, I would ask them how many children were afraid of a new earthquake. The response was nearly 100%. I would then ask how many children were afraid to go to sleep at night. The response was 80 %. I would then tell them that I could teach them a game to play when they felt this fear.

Info for EFT community
My experience was that every child was able to learn this technique. Some would have a bit of trouble finding the EB and SE point in the beginning and needed assistance. The CB point was too difficult for them to tap, so I taught them to use the whole hand. I used the Karate Point for the PR.

The children found the UA point hilarious and I used it as a build up in the game of tapping the 7 points. After practicing this game a few times on both “fear of a new earthquake” and “fear of going to sleep”, in which the parents would participate.

After this, I would talk to the parents and teachers and explain:
• The Intensity Meter
• The other uses that EFT has (There were many people who were troubled by psychical problems like headaches and other tension related symptoms).
• How to use EFT on their children
• The background of EFT and how it works

Then together with the children, we would do two more rounds on “fear of earthquake” and “fear of sleeping”.
This was sufficient training for the children, teachers and parents to be able to work with EFT.

Although I never mentioned it during the training, the initial aim was to get the fear levels down during the training through using EFT and Borrowing Benefits. I received the feedback from parents and teachers that the program was very effective and that they had noticed the difference in the behavior of the children and themselves.

Response to EFT
I was overwhelmed by the response to this program and the feedback. There was such a large acceptance towards EFT.
Partly because next to the western medicine, the people have kept in touch with their cultural healing method. In addition, the Chinese part of the population have lived in Java for centuries and acupuncture has integrated in to the society.
The largely Muslim community also accepted the EFT program.

Activities
- During a 17-day period, the team trained 600+ people in EFT Trauma Relief.
- I trained 12 volunteers in EFT Level 1 and 3 volunteers to teach EFT Trauma Relief to children, teachers and parents.
- Besides the teachers that we trained during our school visits, we trained 21 teachers from a Teachers Association.
- We managed to give two evening trainings for separate villages, 180 people followed the training.

Current situation in disaster area.
The First Response faze is over, foreign NGO’s have left, and local NGO’s, private initiatives, and local government agencies are faced with an immense task. The majority of the people in this area live in temporary shacks and tents. The housing situation is a major concern; it is not adequate for the monsoon season due in 4 – 6 weeks.
Due to poor hygiene facilities, the outbreak of diseases during the monsoon season is a concern. There is a shortage of orthopedic surgeons for follow up medical treatment of the injured victims.
There is to my knowledge no ongoing trauma relief work.

My recommendations for Trauma Relief in the disaster area
In spite all the knowledge we have about trauma and trauma healing techniques, there is insufficient awareness about the impact of trauma on personal lives and communities that lasts for several generations.

In the Yogyakarta area there is a great need for trauma work and a good start has been made. A continuation of this program is necessary for the thousands of people that were not reached and who are in great need for support. I recommend the founding of an independent organization for Trauma Support in Indonesia, in NGO form.

An organization:
1. That structurally organizes Trauma Relief Training in the disaster area
2. That can provide training for the workers of the many organizations that are involved with the rebuilding of this large area.
3. That develops information folders about the effects and working of trauma in the Indonesian and Javanese languages
4. That develops visual aid material to support the trainings
5. That has contacts with NGO’s, private initiatives, and local government departments
6. That prepares First Response teams for eventual new disasters in Indonesia

Finally

I have published more information and photographs on my web log www.spirall.nl.

Here’s what people are saying about their experience of TWO SPIRITS:

So much healing took place by having others witness me and validate my feelings. It's so wonderful to be in a room with so many kindred spirits. The energy of Two Spirits calls me into deeper living. Sarah

I felt more empowered, more self-expressed and more compassion for myself and for my fellow participants. Everything was so great. The commitment of the leaders/staff/assistants set the tone and created a safe container for anything you wanted to show up in your life. David

I've done many, many, many ALL-MALE group taoist erotic massages and I'd never had an experience like I had at Two Spirits. It was ironic! The presence of women in this workshop created a lot of anxiety for me, yet I strongly feel it was the presence of this feminine energy that made it safe for me to access and release a lot of grief that I had locked inside my body for a very LONG time. Clint

It opened all my chakras more, loosened my pelvic floor, I awakened to my partner more. I feel deeper psycho/sexual/spiritual connection to myself, my partner and to the world. Chris

I actually came back more rested than I've been in the last 5 years. Anna

The facilitators were OUTSTANDING!!! The best that I have encountered!! AN excellent job!!! I would come to other sessions if these people were running it!!! Alex

I discovered types and shadings of erotic energy that I was not previously aware of, including a spiritual/subtle aspect. I have also noticed improved self-confidence, and a greater sense of physical and emotional well-being.
Jan

I loved the intimacy created with men and meeting a tribe of like-minded people. Susan

Moving through shame and reconnecting with my erotic body gave me a deeper connection with my lover.
Anthony
I was able to express myself freely and safely. I was made to feel that I was part of the group and accepted without conditions. I was able to connect much more deeply with a part of myself that I had lost touch with over the years and needed to reconnect with in order to get back on the "path". Pat

I have experienced a growing sense of transformation and now know that I can make the changes I need to be happier and more fulfilled. Wendy

It was a real pleasure learning erotic and spiritual truths in the company of loving people. Ellen

They also have an affiliated website where they sell DVD's.
They call some of them classes because you can follow them as they are playing:

*How can one tell of Real Mouvement?

2006-06-27T16:17:39Z

Real emotional movement allowing spirit in.
Tue, June 27, 2006 - 9:13 AM
*How can one tell of Real Mouvement?
* It is pass the phase of blaming the outward reality for how one feels.
At this phase, one allows the trigger( the outside reality offers), to unstuck the emotion ,and experiences vibration in the body that seems to take over.
With concious prayer of inviting the light in, the healer is now completely engaged in his Body with God, and often feels a simultaneous transformation occuring as the releise is happening.
*When we are ready to really Move, we have passed the phase of complaining and blaming and throwing the ball of emotion at someone else.Blame has been a clue in the jugements, guilt and feelings we hold inside, and we follow that clue to allow transformatioin from inside out, like a Pheonix!

Emotional Clearing session exchanges

2006-06-04T21:15:10Z

I practice and teach emotional clearing techniques like Focusing, Release Breath Method, EFT, etc. and I also am the community manager at the Phone Buddies Peer Counseling Community (http://www.phone-buddies.com). I've noticed that there are few members of the community offering emotional clearing and I think it may be because the techniques are difficult to learn just in the online format of the communities training materials. People are more comfortable offering Compassionate Listening, since they can easily figure out how to listen to someone with an open heart. They know what they're supposed to do so they feel more confident in offering it.

I'm hoping to see more people get involved who would feel comfortable giving and receiving emotional clearing sessions. If you know an emotional clearing technique and would like to trade phone sessions (half hour long) with others, then please check out the community and consider joining. There is a small cost for membership (so that the community stays active and session requests don't just get sucked into black holes by abandoned profiles) but it's nominal and the first month is free anyway so you can see if it works for you.

Even though practices like EFT and focusing are taught as self-help methods, I think it is really valuable to have another person leading you through the process. That way you don't have to maintain the structure for yourself and can just focus on letting go into the content. I have led many people in these methods as part of the energy healing work I do and I find the sessions are very powerful for them. They receive much more from the energy work after having gone deeper with the emotional clearing work first.

Anger... Where does it come from? What does it mean?

2006-06-04T13:21:34Z

The other day, I was feeling some intense anger (which is rare and uncomfortable for me)... so that was my dilemma... anger...

I hardly ever watch tv, aside from films. Once in a blue moon though, I will put on the tv for "TV DIVINATION." I will ask a question, or pose a problem, then flip around until my answer is presented...

I watched an episode of Dr. Phil for the first time in my life! And he made one particular point that was sooo helpful! In fact, upon hearing what he said, my anger completely dissipated and shifted... and I have felt much empowerment since.

What did he say? you may be wondering...

He said something like this:

"We can only feel anger when we are stuck in a victim place. When we are being Master of our Universe, we come from an empowered place that knows it can and will change/fix anything that is not working for us..."

I realized, Yes! that's why this feels so bad... I could see that indeed I was seeing the situation from a powerless position...

This newfound awareness allowed me somewhat to step back into "Master of my Universe" mode... back where life is an exciting adventure, where anything can happen, where the present and future do not have to equal the past...

Anger is powerful, a motivator, important... but when it feels over-the-top, hateful, or against someone, or against self... then it is because it is coming from a victim place...

Instantly I stepped out of the anger, and I felt my energy, creativity, and gratitude open up... I journalled and made some lists, discoveries and decisions about some things in my life...I pulled myself up off the couch and I went to the 5 Rythms dance that night, dancing in the White Eagle Hall with a room full of about 40 free spirits, I easily tuned into my inner bliss/happiness/trust...that place in me, the real me, who knows that all is going according to plan... that life is good, and that I can do anything... experience anything... choose!

I don't know if I can sustain this awareness forever... but while it's here though, I wish to explore it...

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Do you agree that we can only feel anger when we are identifying with/getting stuck in the victim role?

A poem

2006-06-02T17:24:50Z

from outside the cocoon

Intimate Slumber in which I chose to be
Grasping at the World in 3D
Knowing deep within
Joy is peace void of sin

Longing to return
To a place unknown I yearn
I attempt to mold my smile
To those who swim in denial

Dancing, Drinking and altering our minds
Pushing the limits that keep us confined
As I watch with sullen eyes
I am truly alone I realize

The only comfort lies in a high-pitched scream
As I am pulled down by darkness each time I dream
Such an extreme polarity from which I know
And yet attack it did until I detached from the soul

Shutting off the world with chemicals and pain
Anything to silence that which I could not explain
My head hits the bottom of a blissful vacancy
Logical mind, allow the heart to lead

Guided by an angel with a fairies godmothers wand
She gave me the courage to continue on
Taught me of a world that I had misplaced
Memories flooded back of the hearts in space

No wonder I fought! No wonder I cried!
I REALLY was different, I realized
This free will zone brings pain and sorrow
I wish for divine will and I can start tomorrow!

Thrust into a reality by a self made catapult
Friends fell away as the end result
“Your crazy” they screamed, from inside their cage
My greatest challenge was to silence the rage

Silence the fear, Pacify the Ego
Trust in myself and learn to let it all go
My mission and purpose await to commence
As 26 years of confusion now completely make sense

I embrace my true identity with lonely arms
As I learn to disengage and disarm
I tear my heart from off my sleeve
And smile as I break free

From chaos to pain from blood to hate
I release all that I chose to create
Now fallen to my knees I surrender completely
And in this act I am set free

Father forgive me
Mother embrace me
Sun sustain me
Spirit lead me

I shall bring light to this world
Help every boy and girl
I am your soldier ready for rebirth
To help bring Heaven to our New Earth

Ever have the day to kick, scream, etc

2006-02-26T04:06:01Z

Well here is some emotional clearing, but I am so sick and tired of myself. Why do I put up with the crap I do. What you ask---a recoverying drunk that doesn't seem to want to recover. I stick around, put up with his crap everyday and it is still the same. Him, Him, Him. I have helped get this man through detox at least 5 times. (Don't get me wrong, that is my fault) But he seems to get through it, of course tells me how much he loves me and then, (tonight again) walks out on me. He hasn't drank for 3 days, which I was proud for him, but drank tonight. Then gets a wild hair up his ass to go play poker, (thinks he can be the next world champion) when we don't have the money. He would not do this sober. You may say well just leave him. I make $700 a month on social security and finally have a warm nice home to live in. Excuse, no just really nice. So how much of myself do I give to have financial security and mind you I have put up with a lot. I am sorry for ranting, but I am flustered and need opions, which everyone has one just like assholes. Sorry bad joke. Anyway, any thoughts, screaming, cussing, and calm advice is welcome. But also share if you have had one of those days!!!!!!!!

2006-02-21T06:29:01Z

New here, hello to everyone... I dont even know where to begin, but this seems like the place to let my mind flow and to get feedback without judement. I have some satisfactions in life to start with, ok marriage, building a house, physically healthy in most ways but heres the unsatisfaction part: unstable job, yo-yo drinking binges because of unhappiness and the constant fear of failure and what I really could be accomplishing in life. I know there is more I could be doing. I just have a fear but Im not helpless.(hope I dont seem as if im rambling) but How in this world can I CLEAR or erase the feeling of failure? That itself would help in moving forward, what suggestions are out there?

"destructive emotions"

Has anyone read or listened to the book Destructive Emotions?
I am listening to it on MP3 and am interested in the intersection between meditation and science as it relates to transforming mine and others relationship to difficult/ destructive emotions.

There is a lot to digest in this conference where top scientists and His holiness the Dalai Lama met to discuss such things.

any thoughts on the subject?

Question about EFT and negative thoughts

2005-12-30T16:57:59Z

Hello everyone,

Here's an email I got from Bob Doyle, in whose abundance program I'm participating:

Lynne,

I got an e-mail this morning with a question regarding
EFT and the Law of Attraction. As it's a question I
had as well when I first started with EFT, I thought
some students might have the same question, and could
benefit from the exchange below.

Here's the question I got:

Hi Bob

My question to you is about EFT. I have been
"led" to EFT via many different routes and I
have ordered the videos from Gary Craig's site
and am awaiting their arrival with
anticipation. So a big part of me wants to
work with it and believes it is the way to go.
However, much of what I have read gives the
message that what you focus on grows and I,
like many others, want to understand fully how
focussing on the problem (even temporarily)
does not work against the principle of Law of
Attraction in some way. I am sure that this
apparent contradiction is causing resistance
in me as it keeps popping into my mind.

Many thanks
Andy

And my response:

Andy,

A couple of things:

First, it is an oversimplification of the Law
of Attraction to say "what you focus on
grows". It's entirely possible to focus on
something WITHOUT getting into vibrational
resonance with it. Otherwise, everyone would
be instantly manifesting all sorts of scary
things in their lives. You have to shift your
vibration to change what you attract. A simply
conscious redirection of thought is a
beginning, but it is not all there is to it.

As for EFT, I used to think the same thing you
did when I first heard about it. But first,
the amount of time you spend tuning into your
negative emotion to do the process is hardly
enough time to accelerate any significant
negative manifestation. Besides, the
resistance is already there. The fact that
you're not consciously "thinking" about it, or
focusing on it, doesn't matter - it's there,
and it's affecting your experience of reality.

Bringing it to the forefront and then doing
the EFT procedure is a way for you to
ELIMINATE it from running in the background
entirely! However, part of the EFT process IS
"tuning in" to the negative emotion so that
you can neutralize it through the process.
Trust me, it's not going to do "damage" to
your experience of reality, and in fact, will
do just the opposite!

Bob

Lynne, if this is something that you wondered about,
I hope this has been helpful!

Bob

Just want to take a minute to welcome all the new members. WELCOME!
I have been very busy moving and remodeling my new (old) house, so I've been a bit absent lately. I will try to begin posting more often.

First, the book I am writing is taking shape. "A beginners manual for Emotional Clearing" (for rapid consciousness expansion and self realizaion) Members of this tribe will be given a good discount on the book.

Second, Please talk to me if you have any questions about needs, emotional pain or suffering & you would like to discuss how to transmute/transcend it.

Third, I am offering telephone sessions for the Extremely Low price of $50.00 for an hour of guided clearing work. This is powerful stuff and you will be blown away by the power of this technology. You owe it to yourself to remove all the blocks that keep you from living from your ESSENCE.

Thanksgiving

2005-11-14T23:48:25Z

What do you do for Thanksgiving? It's always a huge gathering for me. I feel more and more like it's my responsibility to have it at my house every year because my husband's parents won't have a thanksgiving without us. I can't invite them to my sister's so when we get an invite there I end up with two thanksgivings, one at my sis's and one on Friday at home. Plus then there's all my husbands hapless brothers and sisters who I need to invite too. Even I can see that they can't have it at their houses.

And that's just the relatives, I've got my seven children, two son in laws and three grandkids who will show up at both. I'm getting round up on an all out bitch here but will save it for my blog.

ISO a new me

2005-11-08T07:50:21Z

Greetings,

I am new here I was thinking about the choices I have made and how I arrived at them this morning. For the last few 36 years I have struggled with a loveless marriage due to many fears, lack of skills, low self esteem, having deep guilt. I had to get married, issues of duty, obligations and other things. I had 3 kids ( 2 living, now adults) and a desparate need to be loved wanted and accepted . (I never had been my entire life)

I have always been different and a very sensitive,ever searching ,intuative,a caregiver,giving always more of myself than I should have until my own well was dry. In some ways needy but always a person who tried anything and everything to get her needs met , but never really succeeded. I am one who is her own worse enemy at times( not always) and now that my kids are grown and my marriage is all but done , I need to totally re -vamp this person and do whatever it takes to make her emotionally well.

I am now 57 and each year seems to go by all that much faster. I am emotionally in need of some major repair. I have learned a great deal over the years, but have to overcome some really tough issues I have with myself. I love some things about myself and hate other things. I am continually searching ways to overcome what I am lacking and am finding that I can't do it alone. I don't want to write a book here as I need to get some things done.
I look forward to reading more from this tribe and hopfully picking up on some things that will help me. Thank you .

I keep doing this !

2005-10-04T05:19:04Z

My block is that I keep becoming enamored of men who are unavailable, neglective and in some cases abusive.
I know that I am somehow avioding intimacy at the same time I crave it.
I pick men that won't return my love because they can't even love themselves. That way I don't have to really be a in a relationship. But i don't want to do this anymore.
Any suggests, feedback, prayers?
thank you

Vedic Mantra,Tantra & Astrology..

2005-09-18T09:06:23Z

Hi everyone......

I'm new to this tribe. Hence, the introduction.

I was directed to this by a dear friend and wellwisher Mike DeVito. Everything about me can be gathered, both, from my profile, as

well as from my website.

With the humble knowledge that I have in esoteric sciences, my main aim of my visits to US for past few years (on a regular basis)

is to create a 'true awareness' among people about 'what lies ahead' as the FUTURE for my friends/clients...

Yes, after having spent a huge amount on tickets, stay & other expenses, the remuneration also has to be considered.

Unlike other visits, this time I intend to do things on individual basis. Starting with their Vedic Astrological Chart and moving on to

'solving' all kinds of problems through Mantras, Tantra, Gem Therapy and personal teachings based on ancient Hindu tenets.

I'll be coming to U.S around Feb/March.& having base mainly in L.A.& Colorado .

Going to other places is still tentative....All depends on the 'economic' factors listed above...Pl.do let me know if that is possible

and how.

Your Own Worst Enemy/Permission to Succeed

2005-09-10T04:10:51Z

Has anyone read either of these books? They sound as if they describe a condition that I have dealt with my whole life...I have dreams and goals, but I find that I quickly lose my focus. To say the least, this is very frustrating and depressing for me, and erodes my self esteem and feelings of self worth. I have been in therapy for a few years, dealing with low self-esteem and depression.

If you have read either of these books, I'd like to hear your opinion of them.

Thank you.

testimonial

2005-08-11T21:35:48Z

I'm not a gospel-type person, but I have got to TESTIFY!

About two weeks ago, my friend Sonya Sophia sat me down in this bookstore and introduced me to the meridian tapping technique that she's been practicing for months now. It was a little bit embarrassing, tapping on different parts of my face and body while customers were walking by, but I did everything she told me to, saying "I forgive myself" for this & that at each point. We were working on a some disappointments of mine concerning old friendships. I did feel better right away, but not in a dramatic way.

Then, a couple of days ago, I was lying down to go to bed, and a memory came to me from 1986, where I was sitting down on the front porch of my house with my girlfriend Mary. I remember looking at her, seeing her face to be hideously ugly, and then looking away. At the time I was wondering what I was doing with a girlfriend who was so ugly (Mary isn't really ugly). Then, as I remembered this experience, a small, clear voice in my head said "You were just projecting your own self-hatred onto her." Wow! Where did that come from? I realized that this was true, that I hated myself, and had since I was five years old, but hadn't known it.

Suddenly, my whole life, revealed in this light, made sense - every girlfriend who ever walked out on me, every other friendship that had failed, every lost ambition, all my overeating, all my distractions I'd gotten involved with over the years.. All to compensate for my self-hatred. Wow.

Well, now that I had this realization on board, I sensed that I was free to LOVE myself. Immediately, a wave of relief swept over me. The inside of my chest felt as though it had become huge, cavernous, and so full of pleasure and love that tears came out of my eyes. My lungs, which for years have been suffering from asthma, immediately opened up. Just remembering this experience is very beautiful for me.

I'm 45, and I love myself for the first time. My relationships with my wife and daughter have opened up. People seem to be looking at me differently. Everything is different. I'm not suffering from insomnia anymore. I'm feeling more creative.

I'm not saying this is a panacea - I have new challenges now - I feel that I have to re-integrate some emotions and this has its challenges - but WOW!
I LIKE THIS!

Thanks for reading this and letting me share it with you.

Biological Clocks

2005-07-25T20:43:14Z

I am left to wonder at times whether the biological clock in a woman's body is something that could be considered in relation to ethical questions of world population and resources. Should one just surrender to this or is it something that one might ever choose to clear during times of intense biological ticks, especially if they knew that such a choice was not always logically best for self, child, society etc.. If they were to work through these powerful somatic sensations and emotional body sensations what could be done?

Cleansing needed

I want to be able to let go of any negative feeling that I have toward my ex. We've been separated for 2 months now and doesn't look like we'll be reconciling. I need emotional cleansing and don't know how to do it in a healthy manner.

North Korea cleanse

2005-05-30T11:03:58Z

Had to get this off my chest... remember Hitler and the genocide? It's alive and well today...

http://www.hrnk.org/hiddengulag/part3.html

The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea’s Prison Camps
Prisoners’ Testimonies and Satellite Photographs
--- Table of Contents ---

PART THREE
SUMMARY OF TORTURE AND INFANTICIDE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY FORMER PRISONERS AND DETAINEES INTERVIEWED FOR THIS REPORT

I. Torture Summary

According to almost all of the former-prisoner testimony gathered for this report — from Ali Lamada’s 1967 Sariwon prison testimony to the post-2000 testimonies of North Koreans forcibly repatriated from China — the practice of torture permeates the North Korean prison and detention system.

Former Detainee #1 was beaten unconscious for hunger-related rule infractions in 1997 at the Nongpo jip-kyul-so (detention center) in Chongjin City. He also reported that detainees there were beaten with shovels if they did not work fast enough.
Former Detainee #3 reported the use of an undersized punishment box at the Danchun prison camp in which camp rule-breakers were held for fifteen days, unable to stand-up or lie down. He also reported that beatings of the prisoners by guards were common.

LEE Young Kuk reported that he was subjected to motionless-kneeling and water torture and facial and shin beatings with rifle butts at the Kuk-ga-bo-wi-bu inter-rogation/detention facility in Pyongyang in 1994, leaving permanent damage in one ear, double vision in one eye, and his shins still bruised and discolored as of late 2002.

KANG Chol Hwan reported the existence of separate punishment cells within Kwan-li-so No. 15 Yodok, from which few prisoners returned alive.

Former Prisoner #6 reported that prisoners were beaten to death by prison workunit leaders at Danchun Kyo-hwa-so No. 77 in North Hamgyong Province in the late 1980s.

AHN Myong Chol, a former guard, reported that all three of the kwan-li-so at which he worked had isolated detention facilities in which many prisoners died from mistreatment, and that at Kwan-li-so No. 22 there were so many deaths by beatings from guards that the guards were told to be less violent.

Former Detainee #8 reported that male prisoners were beaten by guards at the Chongjin jip-kyul-so in mid-2000.

Former Detainee #9 reported that detainees at the Onsong ro-dong-dan-ryeon-dae (labor-training camp) were compelled to beat each other.

KIM Sung Min reported that in 1997 at the Onsong bo-wi-bu (National Security Agency) detention center, his fingers were broken and he was kicked and beaten on the head and face until his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth bled.

RHYU Young Il saw, in 1997, that out of six persons in an adjacent cell in the bo-wi-bu interrogation facility where he was detained in Pyongyang, two were carried out on stretchers, two could walk only with the assistance of guards, and two could walk out by themselves. Detainees who moved while they were supposed to be sitting motionless and silent for long periods were handcuffed from the upper bars of their cells with their feet off the floor. Detainees who talked when they were supposed to be sitting motionless and silent were compelled to slap and hit each other.

Former Prisoner #12 reported that at Hoeryong kyo-hwa-so in the early to middle 1990s, minor rule-breakers were beaten by their cellmates on the orders of the guards, and major rule-breakers were placed in a 1.5-meter-square (16.5-feet-square) punishment cell for a week or more.

LEE Min Bok reported being beaten “many times” on his fingernails and the back of his hands with a metal rod during interrogation at the Hyesan detention center in 1990. He also reported that at the Hyesan In-min-bo-an-seong (People’s Safety Agency) detention facility, where he was subsequently held, prisoners were compelled to beat each other. Lee witnessed one prisoner, KIM Jae Chul, beaten to death.

Former Detainee #15 reported that he was beaten with chairs and sticks at both the Hoeryong and Onsong In-min-bo-an-seong jails in early 2002.

LEE Soon Ok reported that she experienced beatings, strappings, and water torture leading to loss of consciousness, and was held outside in freezing January weather at the Chongjin In-min-bo-an-seong pre-trial detention center in 1986. Her account of beatings and brutalities in the early to middle 1990s at Kaechon women’s prison, Kyo-hwa-so No. 1, (in her prison memoirs) are too numerous to detail here.

JI Hae Nam confirmed the existence of miniature punishment cells at Kyo-hwa-so No. 1 and reported that beatings and kicking of women prisoners were a daily occurrence in the mid-1990s. She also reported beatings, during interrogation or for prison regulation infractions, in late 1999 at the Sinuiju bo-wi-bu jail, where she was required to kneel motionless, hit with broomsticks, and required to do stand-up/sit-down repetitions to the point of collapse, in her case in thirty to forty minutes.

KIM Yong reported that he was beaten at the bo-wi-bu police jail at Maram and was subjected to water torture and hung by his wrists in the bo-wi-bu police jail at Moonsu in 1993.

KIM Tae Jin reported that he was beaten, deprived of sleep, and made to kneel motionless for many hours at the bo-wi-bu police detention/interrogation facility in Chongjin in late 1998/early 1999.

YOU Chun Sik reported that he was kicked, beaten, and subjected to daylong motionless-sitting torture at the bo-wi-bu police jail in Sinuiju in 2000. He described the motionless-sitting as being more painful than the beatings.

Former Detainee #21 reported that she was beaten unconscious in mid-1999 at the In-min-bo-an-seong (People’s Safety Agency) ku-ryu-jang (detention/interroga-tion facility) at Onsong, where detainees were beaten so badly that they confessed to doing things they had not done. Women were hit on their fingertips. She witnessed one very ill woman who was compelled to do stand-up/sit-down repetitions until she died.

Former Detainee #22 reported that he was beaten with chairs at Onsong bo-wi-bu (State Security Agency) police jail in late 2001, and beaten even worse at the Chongjin In-min-bo-an-seong detention center in early 2002.

Former Detainee #24 reported that there were beatings at the bo-wi-bu police jail in Sinuiju in January 2000.

Former Detainee #25 reported that one woman, a former schoolteacher who had been caught in Mongolia and repatriated to China and North Korea, was beaten nearly to death at the Onsong In-min-bo-an-seong detention center in November 1999, and then taken away either to die or, if she recovered, for transfer to Kyo-hwa-so No. 22.

Former Detainee #26 was made to kneel motionless at the Onsong bo-wi-bu police jail in June 2000 and was made to sit motionless for six days at the Hoeryong bo-wi-bu police jail in July 2001.

Former Detainee #28 reported that prisoners were beaten to death at the Kyo-hwa-so No. 12 at Jeonger-ri in North Hamgyong Province in 1999.

II. Ethnic Infanticide Summary

There are sporadic reports of forced abortions and baby killings at the kwan-li-so, where, except for a very few privileged couples, the prisoners were not allowed to have sex or children. There are also sporadic reports of forced abortion and baby killings at the kwan-li-so, where sex between prisoners is prohibited. And there are sporadic reports of killings of pregnant women who were raped or coerced into sex by prison guards. However, this report focuses on the forced abortions and baby killings directed against and inflicted on women forcibly repatriated from China, because of the ethnic and policy components of those atrocities.

CHOI Yong Hwa assisted in the delivery of babies, three of whom were promptly killed, at the Sinuiju do-jip-kyul-so (provincial detention center) in mid-2000.

Former Detainee #8 witnessed six forced abortions at Chongjin do-jip-kyul-so in mid-2000.

Former Detainee #9 witnessed ten forced abortions at Onsong ro-dong-dan-ryeon-dae (labor-training camp) in mid-2000.

YOU Chun Sik reported that four pregnant women at the bo-wi-bu (National Security Agency) police station in Sinuiju were subjected to forced abortions in mid-2000.

Former Detainee #21 reported two baby killings at the Onsong In-min-bo-an-seong (People’s Safety Agency) police station in late 1999.

Former Detainee #24 helped deliver seven babies who were killed at the Backtori, South Sinuiju In-min-bo-an-seong police detention center in January 2000.

Former Detainee #25 witnessed four babies killed at Nongpo In-min-bo-an-seong police detention center in Chongjin in late 1999, and another six pregnant women subjected to forced abortion.

Former Detainee #26 witnessed three forced abortions and seven babies killed at the Nongpo jip-kyul-so (detention center), Chongjin City, in May 2000.

points in the excercise

2005-04-04T02:35:09Z

Hey, got off track in the other thread, so thought I would get back to the excercise. ;) Is the point for "0" used in some way in this excercise? Also, being a woman, some of the chest points are in kind of fleshy areas (breast) so I don't seem to feel the same resonance with the points as I do in the face, I feel like maybe my positioning of the points there is less than an exact science since I'm not working on a flat surface :), should I feel the resonance there as well? maybe I have to experiment with the placement a bit to find quite the right spots, I really feel it in the face though.

Healing Zine: Lets help people reduce pain

2005-01-21T15:55:26Z

I am making a zine on broken hearts and conscious relating.

The intention is to create some sort of practical guide to assist people in healing and to ultimately propose forms of relating that help minimize the amount of pain in relationships, current or ending.

This tribe really caught my interest because emotional clearing is so important in broken heart situations. Each time I meet someone who has been divorced for 10 years and still loathes their ex, I am overwhelmed with sadness.

I feel like people in this tribe could really offer some valuable info to this zine project. I am relaly interested in different perspectives of pain and various tecniques to reduce emotional pain.

Here are some of the other topics that the zine still needs covered as well:

unconditional love (what it is, how to balance it with boundaries)

communication (qualities of good communication, why communication is good, how to change your communication style)

compassion (the role of compassion in a break up and in communication)

dealing with and releasing pain (how to get through extremely painful moments, how to cleanse pain and not let it fester into resentment, meditations, exercises, activities to reduce pain)

anger (appropriate vs counterproductive releases of anger, how to not stay angry for a long time, keeping communication constructive while experiencing anger)

letting go (of expectations, illusions, unhealthy connections - what are rituals, meditations, life changes, changes in thought patterns that help us do this?)

growth (what comes out of a broken heart experience? how can you maximize this growth?)

self love (the role of self love in breakups, how to improve it)

becoming more conscious in all relations

fear (what is it, why does it hurt people, how can we work on ourselves to release fears and love fearlessly even when we have broken hearts?)

I am looking for submissions! Articles generally 1/2 page (but as long as u want really), quotes, healing exercises, meditations, etc. If there is a topic that you think is important and should be included, but you don't want to write about it, please email it to me and perhaps i will write about it!

anything and everything can be sent to

brokenheartzine@yahoo.com

please help raise consciousness to make the world a more loving place <3

all submissions due Feb 15, 2005 (but the sooner you can send anything in the better. i love to get topics that interest people, questions etc)

Emotional Pain into Essence

2005-01-21T04:04:04Z

Lets say someone important to you says something very insulting that creates a strong reaction like: A kick in the stomach feeling, or Anger etc...

Imagine such a scenario and try to bring up that feeling you have had before many times.

NOW, there are 3 choices to handle this strong emotional energy.
1. Project it - fly into a rage or start crying to get that energy out of your system and blame the other.
2. Repress it - bury the energy in your subconscious cesspool with all the other feelings you didn't want to feel and wait for it to come back and bite you in the ass.
3. Transmute it - Recognize it is just energy.
Pay attention to where it is in your body.
Place your hand over the area and focus your attention on the energy mass.
Open up to it and allow it to be OK.
Ask it what is its purpose (internally). Acknowledge its purpose.
Intend for it to begin to soften (still accepting it totally).
Intend for it to flow where it wants to flow to.
Keep up this intention until the energy mass is dissolved and flowing out of the body completely.

You should now be in a state of emotional energetic harmony.

Take your time with this and let it naturally happen.
Do this with anything that makes you feel bad at all.

Please let me know how your doing with this.

Love, Peace
T

Getting Help

2004-12-02T22:37:34Z

Okay, I find that I do *soooo* much better in my life if I get help to augment the self-help books. "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie was an excellent example for me. There are groups of people all over the place who get together and assist each other with the processes described in the book.

Well, I want to known how to find help in my area for Emotional Clearing. The book I have is "Instant Emotional Healing" by Lambrou & Pratt, but I'm open to other alternatives. I can buy another darn book!

I live in the Portland, Oregon metro area.

Thanks!

wanting to understand and heal

2004-09-10T20:12:51Z

Hi, this is such an appropriate and eye-opening tribe for me... thank you.

I've had issues at points 3 and 13 for a long time. That 13 point, if I have that correctly, isn't on the top of my hand, but instead is on the bottom of my hand -- precisely where indicated on the image. It has itched under there even to the point that I've developed a callus from scratching at it. Amazing... I've been wondering about this for so long. I've also felt blocked, mainly in chest/diaphram area both alone and socially. There may be others. I'm pretty blocked up. I want to be free, unbound and accepting. What do I do?

Thanks again... (I'm sort of suprised at finding this tribe and this knowledge... but have been looking for awhile... )

"Instant Emotional Healing"

2004-09-02T17:55:59Z

I have a copy of this book, by Peter Lambrou & George Pratt. It looks very similar to what you seem to be talking about here.

Do you have any feedback about this book? Have I got a winner or should I keep looking?

Thanks!

Looking for insight

2004-08-24T05:23:04Z

Hello

I've just joined the tribe recently. It took me a few days to get up the nerve to post anything, or maybe it was more that it took a few days for the question to form.

I believe very strongly in the concept that everything and everyone has it's own energy. I also believe that people can be linked through this energy more so with some people with others. Again, I believe that people can "feel" other people that they are linked to. I refer to this as someone tugging on me.

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or opinions on this?

Why Suffer?

2004-03-09T19:37:05Z

If you are suffering from negative emotions DONT wait for it to change on its own... Ask me a question or go to my website: www.emoharmony.org for info.

All negative emotions can be transformed in Essence. You must try the process & find out for yourself if it works.

Peace,

Tantric Emotional Alchemy

2004-02-25T19:04:52Z

The way to be Awakened. As briefly & clearly as I can state it is this:

Openly embrace - in body, emotions & mind - everything that arises... Greet it with Full Awareness & Curiosity. Allow it to flow from and to where it wants. Get its messages by feeling and inquiring... never resist - never stop.

Beneath all negative emotions there is a foundational state of Essence that arises when it's bound energy is released... this is the turning of "lead" into "gold"... Tantric Alchemy.

If you begin to do this... well, lets just see what happens shall we?
