Meditation tips: letting go of emotional baggage with enlightenment

April 21, 2009 – 10:32 am
There is no separation in Mind. If there is no separation in Mind, why does it seem so? The fact is, a lot of work goes into the creation of that illusion: separation. But the busy outer mind has got such a momentum on its habitual thoughts of worry and care that lead to stress, that it's easy to forget

February 24, 2009 – 6:26 am
From one of Dalai Lama quotes featured in the Feeds section of my Belief Net page: One of the most powerful visions I have experienced was the first photograph of the Earth from outer space.

February 23, 2009 – 6:37 am
Holy Man in Front of a Ganesh Statue Draped in Fairy Lights at the Hindu Festival of Shivaratri Art Photographic Poster Print by Don Smith, 18x24 The annual festival of Maha Shivratri or Great Night of Shiva is celebrated on night before and day of the new moon of the eleventh month of the Hindu Calendar. Mahashivaratri marks the night when Lord Shiva performed the divine art form known as 'Tandava', a dance performed by Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is also believed that Lord Shiva was married to Parvati Ma on this day. According to Hindu mythology, Shiva’s Tandava is a vigorous dance signifying the cosmic cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. Devotees celebrate by offering flowers, fruit and Bilva leaves to the Lord Shiva, and by fasting all-day and holding an all-night vigil. In honor of Shiva, here is a video with pictures of Mount Kailash and authentic chanting of SHIVA ...

Can transendental meditation technologies calm fears of financial world?

December 28, 2008 – 3:16 pm
John Hagelin, Ph.D., says transendental meditation technologies calm fears of financial world. He offers a timely solution to the global market meltdown, saying that the paralyzing fear that has been driving global markets to precarious lows can be effectively neutralized and stability restored through implementation of scientifically proven “technologies of consciousness.” Many who have been observing and applying spiritual principles in response to world events might agree. Especially if you already apply transendental types of mediation as vibrational healing techniques through personal and group meditation--even in groups of only 'two or more gathered' in the one Presence of higher awareness. Now it seems we have credible and powerful mainstream attention by a scientist of the caliber of Dr. Hagelin on how transendental meditation can be used to heal the crisis of the stressful conditions in the U.S. and world economies. Who is John Hagelin? He's a word-renowned quantum physicist and co-developer of the ...

Meditation Retreat: full length audio on Buddhism for beginners

August 7, 2008 – 1:20 pm
Jack Kornfield teaches that there is an astonishing truth at the heart of Buddhism. It is that not only is there a way out of suffering and into a more deeply fulfilling life, but that this concept is not a myth. It is an attainable reality. He says that this can be available to you the moment you open your eyes through the power of skillful inquiry. This is a fact that has been proven for generations by those from many walks of life who have studied and learned what the Buddha taught. They have applied it, testing it and proving that this is true for them, that it does work. In Buddhism for Beginners, celebrated teacher and author Jack Kornfield teaches you how to experience these gifts and share in this vast spiritual tradition.

One of the authentic Himilayan yogis of our time

July 20, 2008 – 4:22 pm
Swami Sundarand, also known as Swami-ji, is considered a true ascetic, and thought to be one of the last authentic Gangotri Himalayan yogis of his time. He studied at the feet of Swami Tapovan Maharaj, (1889-1957), a Gangotri Himilayan yogi who lived in the Indian Himalayas in Gangotri and Uttrakashi when the area was all but inaccessable. Sundarand's teacher, Swami Tapovan Maharaj, wrote Wanderings in the Himalayas (Himagiri vihar), a classic yoga book on yogic life in the Himalayas in the late 19th and early 20th century. Swami Sundarand took the brahmacharia sadhu vow over 59 years ago and has devoted his life to a rigorous daily practice of meditation and spiritual practices. From 1946 until 1957, Swami-ji lived with Swami Tapovan in his master's hut, or Kuti, in the then remote area of Gangotri, at an altitude of 10,400 feet. His master bequeathed the hut to Swami Sundarand who, ...

Can we possibly save our forests and their knowledge?

July 15, 2008 – 11:15 pm
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Carroll. I don't have the answer, especially in light of how fast deforestation is destroying our global hope for survival. Meanwhile I've found a book that addresses global and subnational issues of the world's forests, societies and environment, taking an independent, non-governmental point of view. The authors make recommendations for modern science and modern society regarding the successful transition from deforestation to a more sustainable and equitable future for the world's forests. These are based on transitions that are already taking place. And here's a video from National Geographic that touches also on this issue. In it we meet a ...

Meditation breathing and postures for Zen practice

June 5, 2008 – 12:52 pm
In simple terms, Zen meditation can be thought of as a means of letting go of pessimistic thoughts and simply relaxing. In Buddhism, it is a contemplative discipline performed to achieve calmness in the mind and body. Most importantly, it assists you as a meditator in your understanding of the nature of life and in receiving enlightenment. To fully experience the positive results of Zen meditation, there are three general methods to consider: Concentration Koan Introspection Shikantaza Concentration is the main emphasis in beginning your Zen meditation practice, and you can start by focusing on your breathing. Do this simply by counting the number of complete rounds of breath, an inhalation and exhalation being one round of breath. Allow your breathing be the shield to any distraction. Another way to concentrate uses Koan Introspection. A Koan is a story, dialogue, question or statement containing aspects or qualities of enlightenment that the outer mind may not understand ...

More Quantum Enlightenment thoughts on the Mind of God

June 3, 2008 – 10:39 am
The teleconference meditation retreat held on Sunday, June 1st, entitled, Quantum Enlightenment, was a successful start as the first in a new series of TeleMeditation Retreats I have planned for this year. I presented for a half-hour on some of the latest science on DNA and on the quantum principles in our own bodies that activate the enlightenment or awakening process. I also gave my views on how we can use this information to refine our capacity to receive enlightenment as imagery or other sensory input to awaken our innate spiritual memories. Then I lead participants in a guided meditation, in which they received keys to enhance the process for experiencing direct enlightenment from the Inner Teacher. The class was enthusiastically received by participants who asked thought-provoking questions during the Question & Answer session, and commented on how powerful this information is. Many who attended called me later to tell me ...

Learn how to effectively meditate, pray and make affirmations

June 2, 2008 – 7:02 am
Is there an easy way to achieve a better sense of focus and concentration? You know that when you're disturbed, or it's difficult to concentrate, it can affect your judgment and even the quality of your work. Here are some simple things you and do to increase your ability to stabilize your mind no matter what kind of environment you're in. Of course, meditation is a good way to develop resilience to stress. During meditation, you create more than just a mental space to achieve a certain degree of enlightenment. You involve the whole being, including the marvelous attributes of your heart to bring you a sense of what HeartMath calls 'coherence', which included the heart, mind, body, emotions and spirit. The effects of meditation vary from person to person, and even on the conditions you may be facing. Factors such as mood, your unique character and individuality all come into play. ...
