Learn to Speak Astrology

Learn to Speak Astrology – Online Natal Astrology Class

 

I came across this astrology class being offered online…it is pretty different from other astrology courses!!
I thought I would put up the introduction video and if your interested in astrology it may be something you want to look into further!!

World Renowned Astrologer Reveals Revolutionary New Approach to Learning Astrology That Will Have You Unlocking the Secrets of Your Unique Birth Chart and Creating Your Own, Detailed, Specific, Practical Interpretations in a Few Short Weeks!

 

 

 

 

 

More information about the classes

 

Unfortunately, the answer to that question has always been “no.”

Until now.

For the first time ever, you can experience a revolutionary new approach to learning Astrology. Whether you’re new to Astrology or you’ve been studying it for years, this powerful system will unlock the secrets of your birth chart and make Astrology come alive for you.

But before I tell you about this new system, let me introduce myself.

Kevin B. Burk

 

My name is Kevin B. Burk. I’ve been counseling professionally as an astrologer since 1996, and I have clients . I hold a Level IV certification in Astrological Counseling from NCGR, and my website, TheRealAstrology.com is one of the premiere Astrology resources on the Internet. I’ve been teaching Astrology since 1999, and I’ve been invited to speak at some of the largest and most prestigious Astrology organizations in North America. My articles have appeared in The Mountain Astrologer, Llewellyn’s Moon Sign Annuals, and in the Australian publication, Well Being Astrology. I’m the author of 10 books (so far), including The Complete Node Book, Astrology Math Made Easy, and the Astrological Relationship Handbook.

In fact, my first book, Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart, is the gold standard of Astrology books. It is widely regarded as the best book on how to interpret a natal chart using classical Astrology. It’s been used as a textbook in Kepler College’s certification and degree programs, it’s been translated into Russian, and it’s being translated into Bulgarian.

Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart

 

Someone with absolutely no background in Astrology can pick up my book, and by the time they’ve finished working through it, they will be able to interpret any birth chart from start to finish. But getting to that point takes a lot of work.

Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart still follows the old paradigm of how to teach Astrology. You have to digest a staggering amount of information, and even though it does make an effort to show how to apply the techniques in practical ways, it still amounts to too much theory and not enough application.

In the Summer of 2007, I decided to revisit the fundamentals of Astrology and see if I could make them more accessible. Astrology: Understanding the Birth Chart included just about every technique and approach that I’d ever used to interpret a natal chart. But over the years, my practice evolved, and I discovered that I could get a wealth of detailed, specific information using only the simplest, fundamental classical techniques. Not only am I able to prepare for a client in a fraction of the time it used to take me, but my clients come away from the session with practical, specific tools they can use to improve their lives dramatically.

I’ve shared these techniques in workshops for Astrology organizations in the U.S. and Canada, and the response has always been the same. A light seems to go on for everyone in the audience. All of a sudden, something clicks for even the most experienced, professional astrologers in the room, and the birth chart springs to life before their eyes.

That’s why I’m calling this new program:

 

Learn to Speak Astrology (despite years of lessons)

 

 

The first class in this series covers Natal Astrology and teaches how to unlock the secrets of your unique birth chart.

Benefits

 

 

I have always been very interested in astrology so this course caught my eye and just wanted to share!! Plus I have a few readers whom have asked about Astrology….I am NO expert so decided to share once I found one ;)

Relaxation Tools

Relaxation Tools

This writer currently believes that meditation is the best practice and tool for relaxation but we have had many requests for relaxation therapy tools. I also found this interesting article….as with anything please do YOUR research to see if any of these products are going to benefit you personally!!

 

By:Troy Centazzo

I thought at the time meditation would never work for me. It just sounded so intriguing, though. This exercise has been practiced for over 5,000 years and every religion incorporates some version of it, so there must be something to it, I thought. One version involved simply getting comfortable, closing one’s eyes, and repeating a simple word over and over, apparently offering practitioners the joys of complete relaxation and a sense of calm. Those monks in Tibet looked pretty relaxed and the Dalai Lama always seemed to be smiling, despite living in exile for almost 40 years at that time.

I had never felt calm in my life. Always an anxious kid who couldn’t sit still in class and felt claustrophobic if I sat down for more than five minutes, the allure of a sense of calm had intrigued me since high school. In my mid-twenties, I knew anxiety and stress had already begun to take its toll over the years. Migraines. Back pain. Hives. Ulcers at 19 years old. Acid reflux. Asthma attacks. Chewing the blanket on my bed during sleep until it was shredded (no, I’m not kidding). But meditation just wouldn’t cut it. Not that I didn’t try over and over again. My mind just wouldn’t let me sit still for more than a , never mind keep intruding thoughts out of my head. I had read that reducing stress was important to health, however, so I kept looking for an answer.

Then came the Internet seeping into the relative mainstream in the early to mid-90′s. Web browsers like Netscape allowed casual users to search for topics and “surf” around and look at web pages. Back then, the Net seemed to be mostly about email, porn sites, early users of AOL, first generation attempts at corporate advertising, and a lot of, let’s say, “niche” communities, often selling their wares on rudimentary websites. One of those communities was the New Age crowd. The New Age Movement, an early embracer of the Internet, is “a social collective phenomenon and a spiritual nature movement that seeks universal truth through the Oneness of Humanity. It combines aspects of spirituality, cosmology, esotericism, complementary and alternative medicine, various religious practices, and environmentalism.” (1) They seemed to discuss energy, collective consciousness, and inter-connectedness on their websites a lot, I noticed.

While I was surfing around the Internet looking for a solution to my relaxation dilemma, I came across something called a light-sound machine The product’s website, which clearly had New Age written all over it (celestial pictures of stars and planets, people wearing space-age glasses, and products with flashing lights and lots of buttons) advertised a product that promised to leapfrog the years of practice demanded by meditation and quickly place the user into a completely relaxed – or “altered” – state, wherein someone actually feels like they are floating outside of their own body. The website talked about the concepts of brainwave entrainment, audio-visual stimulation (AVS), Ganzfield, soundscapes, and binaural beats.

Weird, right?

I couldn’t resist. Within a few minutes I made my first Internet purchase in 1996: a relaxation light-sound machine.

Of course I couldn’t wait more than ten minutes to use it when it arrived. The box included a metal unit that looked like a cassette player from the 1970′s, headphones and eye shades with LED lights on the inside of them. I read the brief instructions, set my desired program on the unit (a “theta-alpha relaxed state” program for 30 minutes, whatever that meant), put the headphones and eyeglasses on, and pushed the start button. I could hear a faint beat in the headphones and, with closed eyes, saw flashing lights through my eye lids. I tried to breathe deeply from my abdomen (per the instructions) and counted 1-2-3-4, and so on. Within about 15 minutes I was more relaxed than I had ever been in my life. I couldn’t really tell if I was awake or asleep and dreaming.

Too good to be true?

Let’s Back Up: How We Can Measure Activity in Our Brains – Without All (Ok, Most of) the Science Speak

Most adults who have undergone typical physical exams at the doctor’s office are familiar with an EKG (or ECG) test. An EKG test, during which the doctor places several electrodes on our bodies, measures the electrical activity of the heart, can detect abnormal rhythms of or damage to the heart muscle. Accepting that measuring electrical activity of the heart can measure conditions of the heart is mainstream healthcare; the EKG test is central to cardiology.

Our brains produce electrical activity that can be measured as well, though most people have not undergone the test to measure brain activity, known as an EEG (with the exception of epileptic, seizure or brain injury patients). Like an EKG, electrodes are used, placed on the scalp with a conductive substance (like a gel) to measure electrical activity resulting from currents reflecting activity in our brains (I have not included a discussion here about the standard locations to measure various activity levels).

This activity can be shown graphically as waves at a certain “speed,” known as frequency.(2) As you might guess, the less activity in our brains (such as when we’re drowsy), the slower the waves generated; the more activity, (such as when we’re anxious), the faster the waves. Our brains are working with more intensity, creating more electrical activity, and we can measure that with an EEG. The EEG test, in fact, was first used on humans back in 1920. The list below demonstrates the perceived emotional state that is related to a particular frequency and the name of associated wave pattern.

Brain Activity States That Can be Shown as Waves on a Computer Screen Measured by an EEG

Wave Type—-Frequency (Hz)—–Emotional State

Delta—–up to 3—–Slow wave sleep, babies’ normal state

Theta—–4 – 7——Dreams, mental imagery, deep meditative states, deep relaxation

Alpha——8 – 12—–Relaxed awareness, meditative states (while awake)

Beta—-12 – 30—–Active or busy thinking, anxiety, tense

Gamma—-Above 30——Hyper-alert, higher mental activity

Here’s Where it Gets Even More Interesting.

We can actually move the activity of our brains – and therefore change our emotional states – towards a certain frequency (say, a lower, more relaxed one) to match that of an outside stimulus, such as a repetitive sound or a visual cue like a flashing light at a certain frequency (again, similar to speed for purposes of this article).

There is one related auditory phenomenon with which all of us are familiar: music. Daniel J. Levitan in his recent fascinating book, “This is Your Brain on Music,” discusses how music and its numerous technical components – whether the compositions are by the Beatles, Mozart, Metallica, Aretha Franklin or Stevie Wonder, among many others – significantly impact the complex regions of our brain. (3) We all can relate to hearing a certain song from our past and – suddenly – certain emotions come up. If one enjoys rock music, a listener can feel “pumped up” and energized by the music’s loud, hard charging beats. As music and healing expert Steven Halpern explained to me, humans have been using sounds and beats for 25,000 years to alter states of consciousness.

Some Relaxation Tools Enable Us to Actual Target a Certain State of Emotion

Through several audio and visual tools, we can actually coax our brains into a certain emotional state, such as relaxation. As discussed, we accomplish this by using repetitive sounds and visual stimuli that are set at a certain frequency, such as at a “theta” speed. The first way to simply accomplish this is through a concept known as “binaural beats,” a complicated auditory phenomenon that takes place in our brains. Binaural beats occur when someone wears headphones and tones at slightly different frequencies are played in each ear. Our brains, however, will mix the two different beats into one. If the binaural beat is set to a certain frequency, our brainwaves will synchronize with those sounds (the technical term is “brainwave entrainment,” a term that initially made me think of science fiction and Stanley Kubrick’s haunting movie, “A Clockwork Orange”). However, binaural beat recordings, which can include sounds of nature over them, have been shown to bring about states of relaxation. (4) Using this type of product is as easy as buying a CD and listening to it with headphones.

By adding strobe lights to binaural beats, we create the light-sound machine that I initially mentioned was my entrée into the world of relaxation tools. This represents the second of the relaxation tools I review in this article. These products, sometimes called “mind machines,” use audio-visual stimulation (AVS) to bring about various states, such as relaxation, attention and sleep. They include goggles which the user wears with his or her eyes closed; the effect is the same through the eyelids and would actully be extremely uncomfortable if one’s eyes were kept open. AVS devices allow the user to select various programs focused on states of emotion or mood. Research has been conducted on light-sound machines and their positive impact on children with learning disabilities, impulsive behaviors, and anxiety. (5) It should be noted that flashing lights may not be appropriate for everyone. In fact, people with photosensitive epilepsy and other nervous disorders may experience seizures when using such as device (one source notes that one in 10,000 people using such a device may experience a seizure using the device.)

A third tool to bring about a state of relaxation is not much different than the sound-based tools discussed above, but I would like to profile a prominent cancer specialist in Manhattan who uses relaxation tools (along with advice on nutrition, supplements and other wellness modalities) together with mainstream treatment with his cancer patients. Mitchell Gaynor, M.D., a cancer specialist and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Weill-Medical College of Cornell University, has used an “integrative” approach to cancer for 15 years. He discusses this approach in his 2003 book, “The Healing Power of Sound: Recovery from Life-Threatening Illness Using Sound, Voice, and Music.”

Gaynor’s relaxation tool of choice? The metal (or crystal) singing bowl, which has aided Buddhist meditation, prayer and chanting for potentially thousands of years. By circling a bowl with a playing mallet, the bowl creates a rich blend of harmonic resonances and overtones. Along with simple meditative exercises, the long, droning sounds produced by the bowls can help bring about or intensify the meditative state discussed above. According to written reports, similar brain synchronization occurs when listening to the audio patterns of the bowls.

Gaynor discusses the stress reduction and Relaxation properties of the singing bowls, but in one article noted that “meditation with the bowls takes us outside of our own fears. And the patient at peace with himself puts up the best fight against cancer.”(6) Due to the popularity of such approaches with patients, as well increasing scientific research demonstrating the health benefits of stress management approaches, many cancer programs have incorporated the techniques and tools that Dr. Gaynor has been using for over 15 years.

A Few Relaxation Product Recommendations

In this section, I’d like to recommend a few products for you to consider. For each of the three examples, I offer a “high-end” and “bargain” product option and information on where to purchase them. I have personally used these products and, in some cases, have met or interviewed the providers. I am not receiving any commissions on sales of products due to this article; I simply have benefited from and enjoyed using them. Also, they are not the only products available in these categories. The Internet allows us to conduct product research and comparison shopping like never before. Disclaimer: all of these products (and any meditative experience) can create powerful emotions, evoke long-forgotten memories, and generally be jarring to someone experiencing such a profound experience for the first time. I suggest you work with a health professional who understands such products and conduct extensive research on any of the products you’re considering purchasing!!!!!!

Robert Monroe started conducting research on sound’s impact on states of consciousness back in the 1950′s, during a successful career in the radio broadcasting business. Monroe Products produces Hemi-Sync(R) audio products and its predecessor companies have been doing so since the early 1960′s. Monroe also started a non-profit Institute in 1985, which provides numerous on and off-site educational programs. Product Recommendation. Introductory CD package from Monroe Products: “A Gateway Experience: Wave I – Discovery” This product covers a variety of topics. Price: $99.

Bargain Option: Head to iTunes and purchase a single track for $0.99 from White Noise Meditation’s “Waterfall Entrainment” album. Take a look at the brain wave chart above a pick a track that sounds right for you based on the state of relaxation you wish to achieve. You can also purchase the whole album for under $8.00.

Light-Sound Machine (AVS) Relaxation Products

David Siever of Mind Alive has been developing AVS products since 1984. Based in Alberta, Canada, Dave and his team hold many professional training and learning programs on AVS technology. He also has conducted extensive, published research on the effectiveness of AVS to treat a variety of conditions, such as ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain and others. I consider Dave Siever to be the person who has made the most extensive, research-based effort to bring light-sound technology into mainstream healthcare. Product Recommendation. The DAVID PALTM, an easy to use and small but comprehensive AVS device. Price: $260 plus shipping.

Bargain Option: MindPlace’s Sirius Light and Sound Machine. MindPlace has been in the AVS business for almost 20 years. Small and compact, this product is a great and economical way to start your AVS relaxation program. Price: About $99 plus shipping. Check around the Internet for the best price.

My recommendation is that you research to check if you can attend a group session in your area. Some yoga studios, for example, hold singing bowl groups. (Drumming circles are another option, as they involve repetitive beats and focused attention.) You’ll have a lot of fun at either event. You can pick up a singing bowl from literally hundreds of providers on the Internet. Prices range from less than $50 to more than hundreds of dollars to well over $1,000, depending on the materials used or whether it’s an antique from Tibet.

Law Of Attraction Success With Inspiration, Not Desperation

Are you choosing actions from a place of desperation? Starting with inspiration leads to manifesting results with ease. This is an important concept to understand when working with the Law of Attraction.

There are two things I would like to consider here. First there’s your attitude. I think you will also agree that it is easiest to have a positive attitude when you believe you have the ability, or the resources to do something. Feeling worried or concerned that something might not be do-able can make positive thinking a challenge. And, if you’ve experienced failures or false starts, you might find yourself feeling a little on the desperate side. So, how do you create a positive attitude about something you haven’t been completely successful at?

Secondly, there are your available resources. You see, another key ability for reaching your goals is knowing how to start where you are and use your current resources to take you forward. Here’s what I mean by “resources”:

When you think of your goals, the ones you’ve struggled to accomplish in the past, you may notice that you’ve been missing some of the abilities or “know how” to accomplish them. Or you know what to do, but you can’t seem to get yourself to do it. By “resources” I mean the ability, energy, drive and inspiration you have.

Generally, we make goals about things we want that we don’t already have. Have you noticed that we usually don’t feel so great when we focus on a lack? Well, since that’s the place we usually begin with goals, its great to have a process for moving from what we don’t want to what we do want, while feeling good. Sometimes, just getting started on a new plan can be uplifting. More often folks tend to feel frustrated or discouraged. And that’s OK! Its part of being human, that we all get discouraged from time to time.

Did you know that the negative feelings are part of the process of moving forward? Knowing what you don’t want is the place where you start asking for what you DO want. Most of us are habituated to focusing on what we don’t want, so we forget to shift our energy and focus toward receiving what we asked for. We just keep looking at what we don’t want.

Changing the way you FEEL about the goal is the real secret to all of this. It can be difficult when you want something big, because there are big feelings associated with the desire. It seems hard. We don’t always know how to do it and it can take a while to see the outcome we’re after. If something feels big, you can be sure that you aren’t really in alignment with it- another way of saying that is that your energy isn’t in a place of being able to sustain a good feeling about it. So, you probably just don’t have the resources to get there right now.

What can you do? You have to start with the things you know you can do. The proof is that you are doing them right now or you have succeeded easily with them in the past. Think for a minute about how it feels when you decide to do something and then do it! Go beyond one thing. What about when you have a day or a few days when you are really on a roll, feeling good about your accomplishments? Well, it’s the good feelings that you generate that keep the ball rolling, even more than the things that you’re doing. And if you can amplify those good feelings by focusing on them, celebrating your successes and enjoying the process, you actually propel yourself forward.

Inspired actions come from your inner being, from your relaxed, playful, joyful self. In other words, when you let go of struggling and pushing yourself to do things you think you SHOULD do, and allow yourself to feel good, actions will lay themselves out before your eyes. These inspired actions will feel exciting and very right! Doing them will seem like the next logical step. You’ll soon see that inspired action is the only kind of action a deliberate creator needs.

How You Can Accomplish Any Goal By Applying The Law Of Attraction

If you have ever studied the law of attraction before, you are likely aware of the fact that this may be one of the most important subjects within the knowledge base of humankind today. By mastering the law of attraction , you will be in a position to maintain any type of lifestyle you want and accomplish any goal you may desire to accomplish in the future.

If you are new to the concept of the law of attraction, you are likely curious about how this law actually works. There are many different beliefs that revolve around how the  law of attraction actually works, but one common consensus is that people become like the points of focus they give their attention to. So, if you were to focus on a happy person, you too would begin to feel slightly happier. The same process would occur as you focus on any subject as well.

There are various beliefs concerning how this process actually works, but many people feel that the world is a collection of infinite vibrations. These vibrations make up our senses and our thoughts. This means, if a person were to focus on a specific subject, they would be focusing on a specific vibration.

As anyone gives their attention to a specific vibration, they too began to vibrate like their point to focus, because they themselves are simply made up of vibrations. If a person continues to give their attention to a specific subject, they will begin to attract experiences of a like vibration into their life.

Many people begin to investigate how they can apply this law to achieve their grandest desires once they discover it. There are many different ways you can utilize the law of attraction  in your life, but the first step you must take to benefit from this law is the step of focusing on the goal you wish to achieve in your life experience.

Inspired action is often believed to be one of the most important parts of the  law of attraction too. As you give attention to the ultimate goal you wish to achieve, ideas related to the actions and steps you can take to make your dream a reality will enter your thoughts. As you actually take these steps, you will find yourself moving closer to the accomplishment of your goal.

Many people feel that you should practice giving attention to your final goal in order to stay on track. As you relentlessly take inspired action towards achieving your goal, and you continue to keep your focus upon your final goal, you will find yourself moving closer and closer towards the life you wish to live. By implementing inspired actions, you can greatly reduce the amount of time that it takes for you to actually achieve your goals.

You may be wondering if there is a limit to the amount of goals you can accomplish with the law of attraction. You should know that you can truly accomplish any desire you may have when you possess this knowledge. Simply start by focusing on the life experience you wish to live, then take any inspired action you can in order to achieve your goal. As you continue to implement actions you are inspired to take, you will start to observe yourself moving closer and closer to the life of your dreams.

10 Keys To Bring Inspiration Into Your Life Or How To Be Inspired

Have you ever asked yourself what is inspiration? What is being inspired?
When the word inspiration is broken down into its component parts, it simply means “in – spirit”.
When you are living “in – spirit” You feel excited about yourself and your life. You have a special connection with all parts of your mind and body.

The question is how can you connect to your spirit at all times to take actions that enable you to live inspiration?

Below are the ten keys to opening the doors to your inspiration.

1. The first key to inspiration is enjoyment. It would take a spiritual master to be inspired about doing the dishes. So find something that really excites you. It can be anything that you really enjoy. You have to have fun.

2. The second key to inspiration is love. When you are actively pouring love into what you are doing, this will guarantee that you are opening yourself to experiencing more inspiration. If you love what you do and do what you love, this will guarantee that you will be inspired.

3. The third key to inspiration is to trust in yourself. Listen to that little voice inside yourself and know that this comes from heart. This is called intuition. Intuition is the spark the sets off the fires of inspiration.

4. The fourth key to inspiration is to follow what your intuition tells you. The more you listen to it, the stronger your intuition will become. If you don’t pay attention, that little voice gets fainter and fainter until you can no longer hear it. The spark goes out, and gets harder and harder to rekindle.

5. The fifth key to inspiration is to believe in yourself. Keep telling yourself “I can”. These are some of the most powerful words that you can ever use. When you say this to yourself often enough, you build a bridge between yourself and your inspiration. When you are backed by a strong belief in yourself and your dreams, nothing is impossible.

6. The sixth key to inspiration is not to listen to anyone that says “no you can’t”. They might think that they are helping you, and try to project this negative belief onto you, but remember to keep telling yourself that, “I can!” Nothing will kill your inspiration quicker than listening to people say “no you can’t do that” Understand that often what they mean is “No, I can’t do that, so you shouldn’t either” Its best to simply thank them for their advice, pay no attention to it and not discuss it further.

7. The seventh key to inspiration is to avoid negativity. Ask yourself, do you really need to read the newspaper or watch the news on TV every day? Nothing kills inspiration quicker than being surrounded by bad news. How you can you possibly feel inspired if everywhere you look you are getting reports of doom, gloom and destruction. What if instead of watching the news, you spent time doing what it is that you really love? What if you just spent just 1/2hr a day doing what you really love? What sort of a change would it make in your life after a whole year?

8. The eight key to inspiration is acceptance. Accept that on some days you feel much more inspired than on others. This is normal. Nobody can be completely inspired every minute of the day. So on the days when you feel flat, just know that this will pass and don’t feel too troubled about not feeling inspired.

9. The ninth key to inspiration – Take action every day, no matter how small a step it seems. Action is the fuel to the fires of inspiration. Make it a daily practice to keep your fire burning. The taking of actions, no matter how small, will fill you with inspiration for taking the next step.

10. The tenth key to inspiration is the most powerful of all. Simply put, it is to surround yourself with things that inspire you. This is so laughingly simple that many people over look this. It could be inspiring music, inspiring recorded talks, inspiring books and inspirational art.

One of the most powerful ways to be inspired comes from surrounding yourself with inspirational art. Artworks come in many forms such as paintings and sculptures, and have such an amazing power to influence thoughts and emotions, to uplift and also inspire. By the careful placement of inspiring artworks, you can transform your living and working environments to be places filled with light and inspiration.

All of these 10 keys to inspiration are very simple things. Try them today and you will be amazed at what a difference it will make in your life.

May your life be filled with Love and Happiness and Inspiration!

Stop! Winter Blues

For this weeks meditation we are doing tings a bit differently!! I have found 2 articles about ways to battle the winter blues! Then I have added a guided meditation AND a yoga meditation…both are focused on making you feel better in the winter months!

The winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Disorder are a serious problem for some people and having ways of coping or helping can only help if you fight this battle!

 

Winter Self Care Meditation
 

-A guided meditation for folks in Portland Oregon, to create balance and chase away the winter blues!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ten Tips For Winter Wellness

1. Go for a walk even when the weather is really cold – your body has to work overtime to get warm and you may burn up to 50% more calories than you would on the same walk in summer! But remember, go a little slower until you get warm and keep up the hydration.

2. If you find it hard to get motivated to exercise in winter…just think of spring and how much harder it is to get back into shape rather than maintain your fitness throughout the winter.

3. Be aware of tendonitis and stress fracture if you don’t exercise in winter and expect to pick up where you left off after a whole winter with no exercise.

4. Instead of picking up a cup of hot chocolate to keep yourself warm, try a herbal beverage.

5. Gain an interest in indoor sports as opposed to cycling and jogging outdoors. Don’t forget that swimming at an indoor pool is an option for a great cardio workout!

6. The cold air and indoor heaters can dry out your skin. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water each day and use moisturizers throughout winter.

7. Buy some indoor plants to soften up the dry atmosphere caused through heating. Indoor plants give off moisture and oxygen and the colours will brighten up a dull day outside.

8. Caught a cold or flu? If the infection is above the neck (nose, throat) you could be OK to complete a low intensity workout. However, if you have symptoms that are worse than an average cold (chest congestion, muscle aches), exercise will only make you worse and delay your recovery. Rest is the best medicine.

9. Wear the right clothes when exercising in winter. Polypropylene is the perfect fabric to wear underneath a tracksuit, which will provide great insulation but minimise moisture loss. Gore-Tex is a fabric used widely for providing protection from the rain and wind.

10. Feel like sitting on the couch with a video and snacking on a cold, wet day? Reach for a protein bar or packet of soy nuts instead of high energy, high fat snacks.

 

 3 Keys To Busting The Winter BluesLIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

No, I’m not recommending that you make your own independent film this Winter. Stay with me here and it will all come to light!

Do you literally find yourself getting “sick and tired” at this time of year, and maybe a little depressed as well? You’re not alone! 78% of the North American population experiences increased fatigue, stress, illness, weight change and depression during the “blues” months of November to April.

Don’t despair! There are simple, easy ways to sail through the season with more JOY, CHEER and EASE!

Lights:

It’s no accident that the Winter holidays involve lights…,,,the Jewish Menorah, Christmas lights and candles, etc. When the days are shorter with less light, seratonin levels go down and depression levels and weight tend to go up. Studies have shown that the “winter blues” or SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is caused by less sunlight rather than temperature changes. So what’s the solution? Here are a few.

1.Get as much real daylight as you can. If you work inside and especially under fluorescent lights, take your breaks outside. Take a quick walk outside at lunch. Park a distance from your destination. Even a of being out in the daylight can make a significant difference.

2.Use full-spectrum lighting in your home and your office. I often recommend that clients replace the fluorescent lights at work with full-spectrum bulbs whenever possible. I used to get migraines almost every year starting in early November. No more! I put daylight halogen lamps in my office, living room and bedroom and….VOILA! No more migraines. The minor cost of keeping the lights a little brighter at night and in the early morning is well worth it. Whatever you do, avoid sitting in a darkened room watching TV or at the computer. Keep the lights on.

Camera (not really):

Think of your mind as a camera, as your own on-going video or movie. Our subconscious and nervous systems do not distinguish between physical reality and our imaginations. So visualize, visualize, VISUALIZE!

1.Take a few minutes each day or throughout the day to close your eyes and see the entire inside of your body full of light, every cell lighting up. Any internal or external images of light will work. See yourself at your favorite beach with sunlight drenching every inch of your body. See yourself playing tennis or any other warm weather activity on a sunny, summer day. You’re the director here. You get to be anywhere you want, doing anything you love. In your mind, fill yourself and your surroundings with light. This is POWERFUL!

2. This part is so important that it gets it’s own number. When you visualize, FEEL! Feel all the physical sensations and emotions that you would if you were really in the place or situation you are imagining….the warmth, the movement, the freedom, the contentment, the deLIGHT! Using all our physical senses and emotions creates a much more powerful physiological and psychological response to mental images.

Action (really):

Even without the “blues”, our bodies and metabolisms tend to slow down in the winter months. It’s only natural. And, of course, there’s all that Holiday eating! You know that you’re going to over-indulge at this time of year. You always do (and you’re in good company – the rest of us!)

1.Be pre-emptive. Start increasing your activity now, before the major eating begins.

Add 5 minutes to your treadmill time or any workout time. If you’re not exercising, start!

Do some side and back leg lifts while you’re standing at the stove or waiting for the microwave. (I do this compulsively now, and my thighs and behind are very grateful.)

When you come home, go up and then down and then up the stairs again…with the groceries or shopping bags.

When Holiday shopping, park at the far end of the parking lot (like you have a choice!) You’ll get more exercise and daylight.

Take a walk with the family or friends after that big holiday meal or party.

“When you get the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you DANCE.”

2.Whatever you do, don’t compound the over-indulging with beating yourself up about it. If you’re like the rest of us, you are likely to gain a few pounds over the winter. Big deal! EnJOY yourself, and just do what you can, when you can.

A quick note about that upcoming New Year’s resolution to lose the holiday weight:
Winter is by far the worst time of year to try to lose weight. It goes counter to your body’s natural rhythms and tendencies. (Think hibernation!) Rather than setting yourself up for failure, do what you can to avoid the weight gain to begin with. Staying active before and during the Winter will set up your mind and metabolism to lose the weight more easily when Spring rolls around.

Keep your mind and thoughts LIGHT! EnJOY! Be of good CHEER, and when you want to bust the winter blues, remember…………

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Power Yoga: Physical Activity and Meditation

Health is the real wealth of an individual. Good health does not mean the absence of physical illness but also the lack of mental and social illness. A healthy person can properly survive and easily cope with the difficulties and stress of daily living. Incorporating regular physical activities, nutritious diet, and refraining from alcohol and cigarettes are necessary in maintaining a fit and healthy body. Yoga is a physical activity that has been used in the ancient times to alleviate health problems associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, shallow breathing, backaches, chronic illness, and many other forms of discomfort. Nowadays, Yoga has gone from a spiritual discipline practiced by many in the Far East, into a mainstream exercise routine that has been taught in many gyms . Other researches suggest that yoga may promote relaxation and reduce distress.

A new form of yoga that focuses on a more fitness-based approached has been developed. It is called Power Yoga, a method closely modeled after the Ashtanga style of practice. The term Power Yoga became widely used in the mid-’90s when many yoga teachers tried new ways to make Ashtanga Yoga more accessible to the western audience. Both Power and Ashtanga Yoga focuses on strength and flexibility. The only difference between the traditional method and Power Yoga is that the latter does not require the performance of a series of poses. It took the basics of yoga and and gave it a dose of aerobics to tone the muscles, sharpen focus, and strengthen the heart.

Other known benefits of practicing Power Yoga include:

Improved strength, endurance, and stamina
Tighter abs, legs, and arms
Helps release physical tension
Helps maintain good and proper posture
Serves as a good warm up for athletes
Improves an athlete’s overall performance

Power Yoga is a very accessible exercise. To practice this new yoga method, all that is needed is a flat floor surface, a mat or towel, and enough overhead space to extend the arms. It can be performed by individuals of different ages and level of physical condition. However, not all poses should be attempted by everyone. Proper posture and alignment should always be maintained during stretch or posture to avoid injuries. These activities should be stopped when there is fatigue, pain, or dizziness. In addition, the mental component of yoga is as important as its physical activities. Concentration and meditation should not be taken for granted. Yoga should be done with an open and gentle mind when one performs yoga positions and posture. Impatience, self-criticism, and comparing oneself with others may hamper the improvement of one’s physical and mental health.

Individuals who want to engage in physical activities like yoga should consult doctors and other health professionals before taking yoga classes. Certain injuries to the wrist, back, and ankles may prevent some individuals from practicing yoga postures and positions. Furthermore, yoga should be practiced with care and precaution. Some people have reported injuries that were acquired by executing yoga postures without focus, or by attempting difficult positions without working them gradually or by not having proper supervision. Oftentimes, beginners complain of muscle soreness and fatigue after engaging in yoga. These effects may disappear with continuous practice. Yoga is a great way to strengthen the and body and improve overall health.

This Winter Blues Yoga is great for all you followers in the freezing climate of North America, Canada and Europe. Even you guys in warmer climates will still enjoy this

Nyoman Karsa – Wood Sculpter

“This has been such a great year for me, thanks to people from many different countries. Thanks for submitting so many testimonials about my work. May this year bring you all the happiness and good fortune that you have brought to my family.

“My name is Nyoman Karsa and I was born on December 31, 1967. I learned woodcarving from my father and the senior artists of my village, for example, the famous Wayan Winten. I have worked in my own art studio and shop since 1987.

“I usually carve sculptures from ebony, suar, crocodile, and hibiscus woods. Each of the woods has specific characteristics of color, durability, and aroma. Ebony comes from Sulawesi, while the others grow locally. Mass media and the everyday traditional lifestyle of our environment and community are the sources of my inspiration. Some of my pieces deal with traditional dances, the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata, sports, animals, and abstract figures.

“When creating a sculpture, I first see it in my mind, making an image of how it would look on a log or a piece of wood. I make a draft on the wood piece, chiseling the initial form and detailing the parts, finishing it off by smoothing and polishing.

“I wish success for Novica and the world’s artists!”

With rippling muscles apparent beneath his soft coat, a powerful horse canters easily across the beach. Ocean waves lap at his hooves while the sea breeze caresses his mane and tail. Carving the taut contours from suar wood, Nyoman Karsa sculpts an unforgettable portrait.

 

 

 

Mahogany sculpture, ‘Asian Elephant’ Today’s Price: $152.95

 

 

 

Dramatically sculpted contours evoke the true power of the Indonesian elephant. This example arrives adorned in a regal cloth, reflecting Nyoman Karsa’s Balinese heritage. Hand-carved from mahogany wood, the statuette makes a rewarding acquisition for the worldly interior.

Says Karsa, “Outside is the natural world; the lives of animals depend on human behavior. Numerous hunters travel endangering the lives of animals, while only a few people concern themselves with finding the best way to save them from entirely disappearing. By creating animal statuettes I offer an alternative to animal lovers.”

 

 

 

Wood statuette, ‘Wild Beauty’ Today’s Price: $237.95

 

 

"wood"

 

Galloping at full force against the Balinese breeze, this extraordinary horse is an admirable testimony to equine beauty. Made Karsa captures the strength and elegance of the horse with admirable artistry as he carves its image from suar wood. The spirited animal features eyes full of life, and the wood’s natural grain accents the stallion’s impressive musculature. Karsa confers dynamism to the statuette, making the ideal complement to a personal space.

Please note that Karsa will not always be able to provide the same coloring and grain of the piece as seen in the picture. However, this master carver will always provide a piece of excellent quality when using suar wood.

Today's Meditation - Basics

Today’s Meditation – Basics

Today we are doing things a little different, we have had some emails from a couple people that really really wanted to meditate but kept saying that they “could NOT shut off their brain” So we have went back to basics today to try and help with that!

We also added a technique video and some more meditation supplies.  Enjoy!

Namaste! TandS

 

Today’s Meditation

“Just close your eyes and count your breaths,” they say. How simple can it be? “Don’t think about anything else though. Just concentrate on your breathing.” Well, anyone who has tried this “simple” meditation knows that it just isn’t that easy.

There are many obstacles to this seemingly effortless task. Our minds tend to wander naturally. If we try to completely focus on anything for more than a few seconds, random thoughts take over. And breathing is boring; let’s face it. How can you concentrate on something so mundane when there are much more interesting things racing around in your head?

A typical session might go like this: I close my eyes, sit comfortably, and begin counting. Inhale one, inhale two, inhale… “Am I doing this right? I guess so, I’m already on… oh three.” Inhale four… “Now, am I supposed to start over at one or just keep going?” Inhale one, inhale two, inhale three, inhale four. “Wow, I’m really getting the hang of this. Oops.” Inhale one, inhale two… “Did I remember to pay the phone bill? I’m sure I did. I’m really good at staying on top of my bills. Not like Susan, she’s always… Darn, I did it again.” Inhale one, inhale two…

The good news is it does get better with practice. The bad news is it can still be a struggle for experienced meditaters, especially during busy or turbulent periods in one’s life. Luckily, there is more good news. There are some specific things you can do to help you focus and reduce the frustration in your meditation practice. In this article, I would like to offer three tips to help you with your practice. They are: Observe don’t control, be compassionate, and enjoy yourself.

First, don’t force or try to control your breathing. This is a mistake that a lot of beginners make. Many inexperienced meditaters consciously or unconsciously alter their breathing in an effort to focus on it. What results is an exaggerated and often irregular breathing pattern. This can actually inhibit your meditation rather than help it.

What you want to do is just “watch” your breathing. You don’t have to exert any additional effort at all. If you just wait and observe, you will breathe. Then, you can count. Of course, we all know this but many people still find themselves forcing it. If you catch yourself controlling your breaths, just gently remind yourself that it’s not necessary and then wait for the next breath to come naturally.

This brings me to the next tip, compassion. In this case I mean for yourself in your meditation practice. As we’ve been discussing, it’s not an easy thing to do to concentrate on one’s breath. It’s very important not to scold yourself when your mind wanders or you catch yourself controlling your breathing. If you think about it, the time you would spend reprimanding yourself for breaking your focus is just more time away from your meditation. It is best to softly bring yourself back to your practice as soon as you notice you’re wavering. Don’t get down on yourself and start thinking, “I can’t do this. This is never going to work for me.” These negative thoughts do nothing to help your practice and waste valuable time. Be compassionate. Just brush it off and return to your meditation.

Another way to look at these wanderings is to realize that they are an important part of your progression. Meditation is a skill. And like most skills, it requires practice. A baseball player doesn’t step into the batter’s box for the first time and start hitting home runs. He makes mistakes and corrections, and improves over time. He can then gauge his progress by the reduction of errors. Even after he is an experienced batsman, he will still strike out more often than he would like. But his hits should increase as well.

In your meditation practice, your mind will likely wander more in the beginning. But don’t give up. It will get better. Just like the baseball player, you will realize fewer mistakes over time and you will learn to recover from them more quickly. Sure, you will still have challenges and even slumps from time to time but you will also have more successes.

The final tip I would like to offer is to find enjoyment in your practice. Even though it may be tough at times, daily meditation can greatly enhance your life. Don’t rate yourself and expect to progress or improve to a particular degree or within a particular time frame. Unlike baseball, mediation is a life-long experience. Remember, this is your time. Let it be your oasis not a chore. No matter what else is going on in your life, your meditation time can be your escape. As a Zen master once said, “It’s just you and your breath and then it’s just your breath.” Breathe in, breathe out, and forget about the world around you. Even when you’re busy or preoccupied with some problem, even if you can only find ten or fifteen minutes to be alone with your breath, enjoy it.

I hope these tips will help you to enhance your meditation experience. They have certainly proved to be invaluable in my own practice over the years. Of course I still struggle from time to time with the very same issues we’ve discussed here. But through observing rather than controlling, being compassionate to myself when I falter, and enjoying my special time alone; I have made my life fuller and happier.

 

Meditation Basics
As it says in the introduction, this is a portion of ”On Solid Ground – A Practical Look at an Ancient Practice” that I could not include due to the size of the file. In any event, I decided to release it as a single. Mediation skills can be a great asset in your personal and spiritual life. Relaxation techniques are used extensively in several ways to impove our standard of living. This is my take on the basics of meditation. I hope you enjoy it! Adrian.

Latex Foam Be of sound mind and body. Be a healthy sleeper. Embody latex foam mattresses feel as good as they are good for you. Embody latex feels more familiar than memory foam, yet different from anything you’ve ever felt. It uniquely contours to your body while giving you one-of-a-kind pushback support, allowing you to feel like you’re sleeping “on” the mattress as opposed to the “in” the mattress feeling of memory foam. Embody delivers a healthy sleep surface under you and a healthy sleep environment around you. Healthy-minded souls, your latex foam mattress has arrived.

While Embody latex mattresses are designed with progressive new foams, they also adhere to a set of beliefs. Beliefs that led not only to a healthy sleep surface, but also a healthy room environment.

Like us, mattresses need to breathe. Embody latex mattresses use a proprietary design to allow air to flow through the foam. This design allows for endlessly more breathability and cooler, more comfortable rest.

Moving air is good air. To build a healthy rest environment, Embody latex mattresses feature Body Climate fabrics by Polartec®. These high performance fabrics move air in, out and around the mattress all night, regulating the temperature. Combined with the design of the foam, the mattress surface is up to five times more breathable than other latex foam mattresses.

Sleep dry, sleep healthy. Embody latex also features special performance fabrics by Polartec® that wick away moisture. Keeping the surface dry. And, in turn, healthy.

Cleaner air is better air. Fresh air is about the only thing anyone wants to breathe in their bedroom. That’s why Embody latex foams are free of CFCs and other ozone-depleting chemicals.

There’s no room for allergens in your room. These latex mattresses are also anti-microbial and resist dust mites, allergens and microbes. And, unlike other latex foams, only Sealy latex foam materials are washed three times before placing them in a mattress.

The simple joy of pure foam. Embody latex mattresses are foam from top to bottom. Because anything that does this much good should be kept pure.

Embody latex foam mattresses come in four different styles and start at $1999. The higher you go in the line, the more latex foam there is to love. In short, “more of the good stuff.”

Body Balance System 4-Transducer Portable Harmonic Massage Kit

List Price: $999.99 Price: $729.00 & Free Shipping!

By adding vibration to the healing powers of sound, we introduce frequency directly into the body at several intervals along the spine. The spinal cord carries vibration to the emotional processing areas of the brain. This constitutes for a much deeper healing response on a cellular level. With over two-thirds of our body consisting of water, and the fact that sound travels 5 times more efficiently through water than through air; the healing possibilities are endless. In this manner, the system is able to aid in healing with physical resonance along with brainwave entrainment. This type of healing helps to increase the various states of consciousness using sound and frequency vibration.
