Shaman Dance

I put together a video with one of my favorite songs to drum and dance to.  Let me know what you think...should I make some more?

Do Shamans Pray?, by Astara May

Many religious people believe that matter and life were formed through the sounds and words of a creative being, for it says in the bible, Genesis, “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light…,  Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters…,  Then God said…”, so on and so forth.  Religious people are not the only ones that use the power of prayer.  There is evidence of shamans from thirty thousand years ago that led scientists to believe that not only were these shamans using the power of prayer, but also chanting, singing, and other sounds like drumming and rattling.  Shamans have always understood that it is the actual “sound” that holds the power to heal oneself, others, animals, plants, and Earth.

Shamans from all across the world and time use the powers of prayer, chants, and songs to heal the sick and dying.  Even now days, our modern society is rediscovering these wonderful powers of sound.  All of the healing songs and chants that the shaman uses originate as a prayer.  Through drumming, chanting and singing the shaman can move more freely between the worlds, and in being able to do so can perform miraculous healings.  In one of my favorite Shamanic books, written by Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman, called Awakening to the Spirit World, they say, “Shamans frequently sing and dance for many hours before they do any journeying or healing work.  Singing is an extremely powerful tool, and Sandra Ingerman teaches that when you truly sing with passion, energy moves from your head into your heart.”

Decide Who You Are

Decide Who You Are - Who you want to be - and then do everything in your power to be that. If a way is made known to you to create, display, express, and experience your Divine Self in ever more glory right here, right now, follow that way.

Neale Donald Walsh

This reminds me of my chosen path of the Shaman.  I have always had an affinity for sharing my love with animals, trees, plants, and humans to.  I have always had a caring and giving soul.  I believe in keeping my cup over flowing with love so that it can spill onto whoever or whatever I come into contact with.  When I say Love, Peace, and Happiness to ALL...I mean it with all my heart!

Rescue Yourself

God said:

When you are reacting, you are over-reacting. When you are upset, you have over-reacted. You made a situation something it wasn't really. There was a hint of something from the past, and you were reacting to the past and not the present. Therefore, you made a big thing of it. You blew it up out of proportion.

An emotional reaction is an emotional reaction. You do not find the past again except as you perceive it. The past was made up of your perception anyway. Beloveds, the past is made up of ego. Whether lovely or unlovely, it was made of ego.

That is what fairy tales are about. Ego. In the end, ego does not triumph. The stepmother is superseded. The princess marries the prince. The stepmother is full-flaming ego. The princess is goodness personified. The prince saves the princess, and virtue marries virtue. Goodbye, Stepmother Ego. Goodbye, Big Bad Wolf Ego.

And now say goodbye to Childhood Perception. The child was wronged or not edified enough. And now the child is grown and leaves childhood pursuits behind. Wrong is righted, for the child is grown now. Let not the witch bounce around within the child now grown, now considered grown. It is certain, however, that there is something for you to grow out of. Hurts are something to grow out of. Hurts are always from the past. I tell you this frankly.

When I say to get out of the past, I mean for you to get out of the past deeply. I am talking about the deep dark past. Do not repeat it. Whatever role you put yourself in back then, move out of it. Moving forward means to move forward. Psychologically stuck in the past is not moving forward. The past has not clung on to you. You have clung on to the past, and you have relived it again and again.

In order to live in the present, you have to get out of the past. There is no other way. Let not the past be a shroud that you cannot get out of. The past is not in your DNA unless you say so.

A pauper does not have to stay a pauper. Nor does a pauper of love have to stay a pauper of love. The whole story is about love. It is about love denied and the dream of love rising to be fulfilled. Whatever restitution you feel you are owed, it is you who owes love to yourself. It is you who has drawn those charcoal pictures of yourself in black and white. Color them in now, and be done. Adapt a new youth now. Step out of the past. Come out of the cave into the bright sunlight of today.

Come into the chambers of My heart. Enter with Me, and the past disappears, and the Eternity of the Present rises to the fore. Today is today. It is not yesterday. Do not turn it into yesterday. Step out of the past never to return. Orphan, stepchild, favored child, all that is to step out of. Whether you were loved enough or not, now you allow yourself to be love and nothing but love, love true, not love shammed. You do not wear the clothes of love. You rise to the occasion of love. Under all circumstances, you are no longer the judge. Throw off those dark robes. Now you are love true to the cause of love.

Remember love first. Remember love before ego. Ego takes a back seat. Anger, resentment are no longer for you to relive. They are for you to be done with. Rescue yourself.

Meet Your Spirit Guide Meditation

This meditation is to be used as guidance only and do not constitute professional, legal, medical or financial advice. Due to the rules and regulations and the intangible nature of metaphysical services, we are obliged to point out that this should be considered as 'experimental' only. How you act on any advice given when working with psychic tools/readings is entirely your decision.

Guided Healing and Cleansing Meditation

This is done as follows - Find a comfortable position at any time
you prefere, either sitting or lying down. Doing it before going to
sleep is a good time as you are more open to receiving external
energy and input in a sleep mode. As you sit or lay down, relax your
body, and visualize yourself open up to receive the energy of me,
Edward Alexander, and say to yourself that you accept the energy I
send out to reach you and benefit you and help you with your desired
goals.

You may also ask your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angel to oversee the process and protect you and assist you in receiving the energy.

Then take 13 deep inhalations through your nose, where you hold the
breath as long you can for each one, and slowly blow it out through
your mouth. As you do this, feel your body and muscles getting more
and more relaxed for each breath and each exhalation - your body
becoming soft and heavy and comfortable.

Feel how you become more peaceful and at rest both physically and
mentally from this simple breathing exercice.

Once the cycle of 13 inhalations have been done, send your awareness
to your body, and feel how relaxed it it, how at peace you are.
Imagine at this point a great brilliant pink light in the shape of a
ball above your head. Make it grow stronger, try feel and visualize
it above your head, and feel yourself becoming even more relaxed from
this comfortable, peaceful light that is filled with love and
serenity.

As the ball of brilliant pink ligh fills up, imagine it open up and
sending a beam of light down trough your head, and this is the energy
I am sending you, filled within that ball sent there for you - along
with peace, love, relaxation, protection, cleansing and guidance in
addition to the goals you have for yourself with this energy.

Feel this great light, as it enters your head, filling up your head,
until your whole head is filled up completely with its great pink
light and my energy flowing through you and manifesting within you
the goal you have set for this energy. Imagine it spreading down from
your head, down your throat, filling you up more and more with great
powerful energy that will make you able to reach all of your goals.
It moves down further from your throat, through your chest, filling
up your chest with great pink light, and then proceeds down through
your belly and all the way down to the tip of your toes. Now you are
completely filled with this great pink energy light, filling you all
up with your intended purpose for what you are seeking from this
energy, and as it does so you feel yourself becoming more relaxed,
more filled with love, and see the energy start radiating out of your
body so it now also surrounds your body and make your whole body
surrounded by a great glowing sphere of brilliant pink light and this
powerful energy, your whole body vibrating and radiating this energy,
as it is growing stronger and stronger, knowing that this power will
make you reach your goals and that you are in deep contact with the
spiritual energy I've sent to you as well as the great divine energy
of the endless source of all that is.

Stay in this state for a while and just enjoy it, know that you are
being filled with the powers and great energies to help and assist
you and attune you towards your goals. Relax and let it flow through
your body, up and down from head to toes, several times. Then gently
make it fade away and become invisible, but know that it is still
there within you and empowering you, and that you are connected with
the great source of divine energy and the energy I am sending you.

At the end, once you've made it fade away, but still feel its great
effects, and still know its there just that now invisible, send a
thought of love and thanks to me and the Divine Source for helping
you and giving you this oppurtunity. Stay with the feeling of love
and joy in your being for a while, before you either go to sleep if
you did it at night, or take a nice good deep breath, blow it slowly
out, get up and do your daily business if done at day knowing that the
energy is now within you and that each time you perform this
meditation the effects will increase and the powers will be more
strong and effective.

The more often you perform this exercise, the better results - as said
daily basis is recommended, and it is not something that demands a
lot of time, once you get into this meditation you can easily perform
it all within 5 minutes or so, tough I recommend at least spending 15
minutes to half an hour on it for best effects as long you have the
time on your hands.

Reiki Hands Positioning for self healing

Reiki hands positioning for self-healing Well done YouTube I am now able to upload the full video instead of having to split it into two parts. :-) This easy to follow video will help you align with the Creator within you and help release the healing energy that has always been yours to enjoy. Our blue print is to be healthy, happy and productive and fulfilled. The insane programs that we experience during our formative times cause us to be derailed and sabotaged. Contrary to what the merchants of Reiki will tell you because of greed for money and power, The healing energy of the Creator is with you and all around you.

To Your Own Light Be True

God said:
Any tenseness you may have tells you that you are holding on. You are holding on to something. There is something you think you must need. There is something that you fear that, if you don't have it, you will be lacking. You are afraid that you won't amount to much unless you have it.

Whether it is money or a loved one that you feel dependent upon, you are intact. You are whole. Come to believe in yourself. You are a Divine Being solidly in My heart. Can this not be enough? At Thanksgiving time, you want all the trimmings with your turkey. I am telling you that We are complete. All else that you have held onto are trimmings. You may even value the trimmings more than Truth.

Trimmings are not essential. They are nice, yet not essential. There are two essentials. They are you and they are I. That's it. We are in it together for the long haul. We are the turkey and not the trimmings. It is not incumbent upon you to have the trimmings. Trimmings are, after all, only trimmings. Enjoy them when you have them, and enjoy just the same when you don't have them. Nothing outside you is the making of you. Outside matters may bolster you. They make you feel good, nevertheless, they are not the making of you. Or they may make you feel bad, and, still, they have nothing to do with you.

You don't need all the things you think you need. You do not need them. You can have them, but you don't need them. You and I are the making of you. You don't need all supports you feel you would be at a loss without.

Holding on is attachment. Attachments have to be let go of. The physical object you cannot let go of, you can keep, only you have to let go of your hold on it. You don't need it. You may depend on it, yet you don't need it. The same is true for people. Keep those dear to you at the same time as you let them go. Your loved ones are free agents, and so are you. Freedom is better than attaching. When you attach, your heart will get broken. What else would break your heart? Freedom does not. It is your attachment that you have to break, not your heart.

To be free, you must set others free. The more you release others from your clasp, the freer you are. You are freed from your own clasp.

Either you have attachment, or you don't. Half attached is still attached.

Attachment doesn't mean love. Holding on doesn't mean love. When you let go of being attached, you can love more. When you are attached, you may call your attachment love, yet love is not attachment. Attachment is not love. Attachment is a poor excuse for love.

So what is all this attachment to attachment you experience? You must think it serves a purpose. What purpose can attachment serve but to separate you from yourself? When you attach to another, you are forsaking yourself. You are holding on too tight to another. You have a strangle-hold on the one you presume to love. When you attach, attachments will break. Better you break off the attachment now and find easy-going love to give instead.

When you are attached, you become desperate. You become desperately in love. You become dependent upon holding on when, what you must do, is let go and become unattached. You do not need to ride on anyone's back. You are not a child who has to hold on to his mother's skirt or leg. When you are attached, you must let go so your loved ones can each be a free-wheeling being in their own light and you a free-wheeling being in your own light.

Technique and Meditation & A Nithya Yoga Practice

From Sounds to Silence, Technique and Meditation

by, Paramahamsa Nithyananda

This is a two step technique that Paramahamsa is teaching in this video.  The first step is to do 21 days of cleaning yourself of the lies that you hold within you.  For example to tell someone automatically that you love them without meaning what you are saying.  The word love changes for you, and you loose the meaning and feeling of what the word really is, or should I say the truth of the word.  So, you visualize all of these words that have been twisted into lies as bubbles inside of you, then you pop them and wash away the ooze that comes out of them.

The second step is to visualize each word at a time, because you are going to have multiple bubbles.  Choose a word that you have twisted in to a lie, then just visualize the word in your mind.  See the word as a word in your minds eye.  Then  switch to just listening to the sound of the word.  Then switch again to just feeling the word that way that it is supposed to be felt.  Lastly, be silent inside and just be.  Just Be!  This step should be stretched out to last about 15 min for each part.

All of this should be done over a 21 day period in which you should also watch and catch yourself before saying these lies.  Only say the words that you feel to be true.  Wonderful technique!

Deeper Connection, Nithya Yoga

Nithya Yoga is one of the great gifts to the world by the living enlightened master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Nithya Yoga is not a new yoga system it is the rebirth of the oldest system.

Taking roots in the Yoga of Patanjali, the ‘Father of Yoga’ who compiled the Yoga Sutras.  Nithya Yoga is the direct experience and body language of a Supreme Yogi Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Nithyananda at the age of 9 practicing yoga and meditation

From the young age of 3 up to 14 years old, the young Nithyananda (Rajashakeran at the time) studied and practiced under the care of a great yogi from his birth town of Tiruvannamalai in South India. Yogiraj Yogananda Puri (lovingly known as Raghupathi Yogi) was the teacher responsible for preparing Nithyananda’s body and mind for enlightenment through the time-tested techniques of Hatha Yoga and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Raghupathi Yogi mastered the whole science. Not only the physical aspects of yoga, the asana, apart from that he had mastered all other aspects of yoga. He worked with prana (the life energy), the mind, the power of sound and visualization.  Patanjali had deep insights into the core truths of his Yoga Sutras, a complete treatise on yoga. He is one of the greatest inner scientists to have lived on this planet.

Raghupathi Yogi expressed extraordinary powers in a very casual way.  For example, he had the strength of a superhuman with the ability to move huge boulders with one hand and even to break iron ropes wrapped around his chest by deeply inhaling.  Although he was over 100 years old when he started teaching the young Nithyananda, he appeared like a healthy man in his fifties.

Raghupathi Yogi’s insights were revealing and sometimes shocking. Many times what he revealed even looked very contradictory to what Patanjali originally recorded in the Yoga Sutra.

Raghupati Yogi or Yogi Yogananadapuri found an able and dedicated yoga student in young Nithyananda

Paramahamsa would say to Raghupathi Yogi, “I am able to understand what Patanjali writes in the Yoga Sutra but I am unable to understand your commentary.” Raghupathi Yogi would reply to him in a beautiful way and say, “In all the books that you have seen and read, including the Yoga Sutras, only the verbal language of Patanjali is recorded but not Patanjali’s body language. What he originally wanted to convey is not recorded, therefore naturally much has been lost.”  It was only after enlightenment that Nithyananda understood that he had received his training and initiation into the Science of Yoga and other spiritual matters from a yogi who had experienced the consciousness of Patanjali.

Nithyananda now shares:

‘I feel I have too much to talk about and too much to share because I myself am a yogi. From a very young age the first path I started travelling was the path of yoga. Now everything I do, the shadow, smell and presence of yoga is always there’.

Almost three decades after his early training and realizing his avataric mission, Paramahamsa Nithyananda continues to reveal more about Nithya Yoga to the world as an ongoing happening, that we call enlightened consciousness. Nithyananda continuously brings back the consciousness of Patanjali with updated words for the modern age and more importantly with his very body language.

Nithya Yoga as we know is only the tip of the iceberg.  It is an evolving science that takes shape as history is being recorded.  With the use of current technology Nithyananda’s dynamic teachings will reach hundreds of millions.   By bringing the experience of enlightenment to humanity he is  marking the onset of a new age of Eternal Bliss.

Definition of...Dharmadhatu:  is the Realm of Truth, in which all things exist as they really are. Dharmadhatu is combination of two Sanskrit words Dharma and Dhatu. Here Dharma doesn't mean religion as it is generally understood. It refers to ‘phenomena’ and Dhatu refers to ‘the expanse’. Thus dharmadhatu together means “the expanse of phenomena” which is ‘emptiness’ or Sunyata in Sanskrit. Dharmadhatu is also known as JanaGarbha or womb of knowledge.

The Language of Life

God said:
Who can change the direction of the wind? And, yet, you would go back and change it. You would, if you could. You would undo some of your life experience, and you would add other experiences in their place, and then what would you have, beloveds? You would make of life a collage, and you would keep changing your mind as to what should be kept and what should be moved around. You would rearrange life. You would unmake life.

You would unmake the bed you have lain in. You would pause a movie reel. You would run it in reverse. You would botch it. You would wake the dead. This is not life you would be making. Take away anything, and you have taken away life.

Never mind what you wanted or didn't want. Having what you want the way you want is not the meaning of your life.

Nor is the purpose of your life to suffer, so do not hold on to suffering. Let life be as it is, and go on with it differently. Be of good cheer. Beloveds, how do you know that what was hurled at your heart and so wounded it was not really a bouquet of flowers? You felt the thud. You thought it was a hard baseball thrown on you, and so you suffered. Even the most tumultuous matters in your heart, all your struggles there, are really buckets of posies. Flower after flower has reached you, and you thought you had knife wounds. Think anew.

Even heartbreak is a blessing to you. You refuse to believe that. You can't believe that. Believe then, if not a blessing to you, a blessing to another. You weep for the loss of a loved one when your loved one was blessed to come to Me and leave the body behind. And you would restore the loved one to life if you could.

It might help you to remind yourself that there is no cause and effect. This is just Is-ness.

Each person has his or her own book. You have yours. It's better that each person read the chapters that are his to read. You cannot flip the pages of others' books for them. You have to hold your book right side up and let it be as it is written. And, so, you bless everyone on his way, even when it means going another way at the crossroads. Bless yourself on your way as well.

When you come to a crossroads, you cross it. There is no choosing that precise road twice. You cannot go back in space or time. You can only go forward.

Whatever befalls, it is a treasure of life that has befallen. No longer be a tragedian.

What do you think would happen if you knew, really knew, that everything in life that befalls is a blessing? What would happen is that, soon enough, what you perceive as blessings, well, more of them would befall you.

What is it you want? Dwell in the house of what you want. Get out of that maze that tells you that you made a wrong turn. Drink every drop of life, and relish it.

When you are thirsty, drink. Drink at the well of life. And when you are heavy-hearted, drink at the well. Have gladness in your heart, for you are living life. You have life. You are an experiencer of life in the world.

You know it is illusion that you have been hit with a ton of bricks. Where are the bricks that assaulted you? They are not to be seen. You know it is illusion that you have been hit with a Mack truck. Where is the truck that hit you? It is illusion that you have been hit with.

If life were a language, you are simply not reading it right. You haven't understood it. Beloveds, you are taking a crash course in the language of life. You don't have to understand every word of your life. You just have to live it. You are learning the language of life.

Your Mighty Heart

God said:
When you feel heartsore, rub your heart with your right hand for a while. Your heart has been dozing. Now it will waken, and you will feel stronger. From My heart to your hand to your heart. Now your heart is right-side up again. Now your heart has picked itself up. Your heart is the pulse of life, and now your heart is ready for more. So is it in the heart of man.

Refresh your heart with peace. Your heart does not need disturbance. There is no need for you to let an intruder into your heart. Anything less than love in your heart is an intruder. Rub your heart with your right hand, and your heart settles down again. The crisis is over. Your heart is restored.

Now you are ready for mountain-climbing again. You climb once again with a knapsack filled with love. There is nothing else to carry with you.

Ascension means leaving the past behind you. Now you travel light. Now you are unencumbered. You are light and fancy-free. Everything you carried with you was a dream, and now you dispense with old dreams that you hung onto. Now you enter a simple world where nothing is held over. Now you stay in step with yourself. You are neither ahead nor behind. You are just right. You are marching with Me, and We are in sync.

Together We have reached the peak of the mountain top. What a view there is. How far We have climbed. How far you have climbed. To such heights you have reached. You have outdone yourself. By the simple act of releasing, you have outdone yourself. You have let bygones be bygones. Where did the past go? Where did it come from anyway? Now you have no baggage, and now you have a full heart. Now your heart is replete with My love. You are subject to My love. This is more than a subjective experience. It is Truth. You, My own true love, have come back to Me. You have honored yourself. You have rid yourself of whatever held you back. You cleaned out the closets of your heart. You have succumbed to My Will.

The troth you pledged is now fulfilled. You held up your right hand, the same hand with which you rub your heart, the same heart with which you pledged yourself to Me. You pledged yourself to Truth. Love is the only Truth. All else is false. Without Truth, even love in the world is false. When love is limited, it is false.

Align with Me. The world is secondary. I am primary. The die has been cast.

What was once essential to you is no longer needed. It is no longer needed at all. That is the trouble. What was monumental in the dark ages of your heart is no longer required. Previously, you thought you were in the age of munificence. It was really the age of ignorance where you held on tightly with tooth and nail. This holding on to illusion wears you out.

If your mighty heart feels mortally wounded, then beat the heart center of your chest with your right fist as the ancients used to do. Your heart will once again raise its head and see, through the forest of your tears, that the sun is shining, and that it shines for you. Look out the window of your soul. How important is your heart-wounding now? How important is it that you hold onto illusion? Why weep for a passing thing that has already passed?

If one of you happen to go to this...all I ask is that you come back and let me share your experience.  Thank You, Astara

Shining Light

God said:
When you carry resentment in your heart, you are not free, for resentment lugs you around. You are at its mercy. Resentment carries you over its shoulders and bumps you into walls and bruises you.

You have a heart that is meant for love, not resentment. You have a heart meant for softness, not hardness. This is true even when someone, in her own distress, seems to despise you. Her distress is contagious, and she would like to pass it on to you. It is a hot potato.

You need not accept everything that is handed to you. Another's rough edges do not have to rub off on you. Do not latch on to another's hard-heartedness. It doesn't belong to the other person either, but for convenience, let's say it belongs to them. They will dispense with it by and by. It is for you to dispense with now. Dispense with it now and forever. You want to be free, don't you? Give up resentment then.

The person who resents you wants to give you her resentment in exchange for your good will. She wants to steal from you. You have something she wants. It could be your good name. It could be your good fortune. She will not like the person she wishes to steal from. Do not allow yourself to sit on the seat of the other person's teeter-totter.

Do not steal your good nature from yourself. Do not give it away. It is precious. Do not let someone knock you down from your perch. Do not let them walk all over you either. You do not seem to know how to balance such difficulties. Meanwhile, you fall down. Now pick yourself up.

Do not give one resentment toward another. Do not amass resentment. Do not hold it close to you. You are more wonderful to refuse to accept another's judgment of you than you are to forgive. Get the one who resents you out of your mind. Let them go. If someone wants to resent you, let them. It is their business. Dirty looks do not have to hurt you.

The only person who can hurt your feelings is yourself. When someone is unfeeling or negative toward you, you don't have to burn in the fire.

You don't want anyone to shove you aside, nor should anyone try. Most of all, do not let anyone shove aside your peace of mind. Do not give another a piece of your mind. Do not tell them off, not even in your mind. Do not fragment yourself because someone else is fragmented. Do not cut your heart into little pieces. Your heart is precious to Me. It is, indeed, My heart. Would you stab My heart?

Get anguish out of your heart.

"But how," you say. "How do I do it? My heart is stubborn. It won't let go."

Your heart is willing to let go. Your heart wants to let go. It does not want to collect debris. It is your unrelenting mind that will not let go. Free your mind and your heart will be absolved of resentment. Free your heart from the past. Shake it loose. Think of other thoughts instead of the tormenting ones that have been going through your mind ad infinitum.

Find a way to escape thinking of yourself as wronged. Or, acknowledge that you have been wronged and walk away from it. Otherwise, you wrong yourself. You undercut yourself. You sentence yourself to despair. You override yourself. You eat poison. You can help yourself. Do not drink that last drop of bitterness. Toss it away. You are greater without it. Be My shining light.

A Short Practicum: Embracing the Shadow

I hope, here, to give you a quick and easy way to integrate shadow material into your conscious self through something called the Self-Integrating Process. The reasons to do such a thing are multi-faceted. For one, it allows you to avoid the snare of polarization within yourself (wherein you fight battles with yourself). For another, it removes you from the collective wave of Spiritual Fascism (a very good thing, indeed). Thirdly, it actually increases your energy levels because it frees up trapped parts of yourself. Remember, it takes energy to keep something down psychologically.

In addition, there are a few points I would like to introduce before we look at the Process itself.

First of all, suppressed shadow material often coalesces into a state that resembles a being or an entity. It is possible to communicate with one's shadow material as if it were a conscious being.

Secondly, accepting one's shadow does not necessarily mean accepting its behavior (i.e., if you want to stop smoking, accepting your own shadow material responsible for the abuse of tobacco does not mean that you accept smoking). It does mean, however, that you accept the part of you that wants to smoke.

Just as an example, people smoke for many reasons. Some use it as a ritualistic offering to spirit, as in Native American ceremonies. Others use it to suppress feelings. It all has to do with your intention. For those wanting to suppress anger or agitation, tobacco is sometimes used because it causes the capillaries to constrict. With decreased blood flow, there can be a temporary cessation or decrease of agitation. So let's say you are one of these folks. There are two things here: a) the behavior of actually lighting up and b) the desire to light up. The desire to light up is coming from a part of you that is uncomfortable with the arising of certain feelings. This part is trying its best to keep these feelings in your shadow realm, outside the light of self-awareness. And it is doing this because you have chosen at some level to deny these feelings. The part responsible for acting this out (i.e., grabbing a cig) is not the culprit. It is simply trying to do what you want it to do. In other words, no matter how bizarre a behavior is, the part responsible for that behavior is trying to take care of you in some way.

These parts have a kind of autonomous psychological life of their own. Their desire is to be accepted as an aspect of us, yet their fear is that we will reject them. There is good reason for this paranoia on their part. We tend to find them repugnant even though they are only doing what we asked them to do (suppress).

There is an innate fear in us that if we accept a psychological part, we will be bound to its actions. The truth is that when we accept a part as an aspect of ourselves, there is a release of psychological energy which expands awareness. This increases the likelihood that we will be able to make better and more creative choices for ourselves. When we re-member (rejoin with) a psychological part through the act of self-acceptance there is presumably a spontaneous release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters associated with wellness. Note: This is a theoretical observation I have made over the years in regards to the Self-integrating Process. As yet I know of no studies that demonstrate this, but people always report a feeling of increased wellness and wholeness after completing the process. I presume therefore, that there are corresponding physiological changes. Future research will prove or disprove this hypothesis, but whatever the cause, people feel better and more connected to themselves after going through the process.

The Self-Integrating Process

When an uncomfortable feeling arises, this is the ideal time to do the Process since the material is right at the surface of awareness. But it can also be done whenever one wishes to change a behavior.

There are several steps to this.

What is different about this process from many other self-therapeutic exercises is the lack of content. We really aren't interested in the story of why we are doing "It," nor are we interested in the history of "It." We are simply acknowledging the part (responsible for "It") as an aspect of ourselves. The sole purpose for this is to build a bridge of awareness between the subconscious and conscious levels of awareness, in other words, so that we can become psychologically more conscious.

1. First of all, when you feel upset, locate where in your body the part seems to be located. This may seem odd, but the part will be centered somewhere in your body. Sometimes, though much less often, the part may be in the energy field around your body. This area will feel different than the rest of your body. It may feel radically different if there is a lot of emotional energy around the part, or it may feel subtle if there is less stuff around it. But there will always be some kind of physical sensation where the part resides.

2. Next, simply focus on this area of your body and tell the part (silently in your mind) that you accept it as an aspect of yourself. That's it. There will be a response from the part in the language of sensation; in other words you will feel something relax, let go or integrate if the part believes you. You have to mean it. You can't bullshit a part and get away with it. Parts know if you are lying or trying to pull a fast one, and they don't like it. To review an important point: you are not telling the part that you accept its behavior. You are simply saying that you accept it. It exists (whether you like it or not). And you are simply acknowledging that it exists, and that it is a part of you.

3. Sometimes there are other parts that don't like it when you accept a particular part that you are having trouble with. These objecting parts usually have their own agendas to keep things in status quo. Some parts just plain don't like for things to change. Others might not like for you to get psychologically healthier, for instance. Is it beginning to sound like you have a circus in there? Well… you do! And so does everyone else. What makes the difference between a good show, in which all the parts work, more or less together, and chaos, is the Ringmaster. And you are, of course, the Ringmaster of your own circus. Some of our parts are clowns; some are daring trapeze artists; some train wild animals; some are pickpockets slinking in the shadows behind the bleachers. There is a whole menagerie in there. And once you acknowledge one of the circus members, you may have to contend with others. The strategy is actually quite simple. Whatever arises in yourself, tell it that you accept it as an aspect of yourself. I have known people to need to work with up to nine parts to get a final feeling of resolution or integration.

This process creates a greater feeling of personal wholeness through the acceptance of parts that heretofore were rejected. It also increases psychological energy and awareness, as I said earlier.

This process does not usually resolve problems, but with increased psychological energy and awareness the problems become less problematic.

To make ourselves more whole by retrieving parts of ourselves from the shadows of our unconscious is a holy act. The root of the word holy, for instance, means to make whole.

I agree with Carl Jung that coming to terms with our collective shadows is imperative. And this type of psychological endeavor may be some of the most sacred work we can do at this time. May the light of your own illumination and the compassion of your own heart guide you in your quest for wholeness.

Nithya Yoga - Yoga For Eternity

From the works of Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Nithya Yoga prepares the body, prepares the mind to enter into the experience of enlightenment and stay into the experience of enlightenment. Entering is not difficult. To have a satori, a glimpse of the no-mind state, to have an experience of un-clutching, is not difficult at all. But to stay in that consciousness, and especially to express that energy through your body, requires that your body and mind be prepared. Enlightened Master Nithyananda is unvieling this system of Yoga to take us back to Yoga's roots - from the consciousness of Patanjali. Complete discourse on Nithya Yoga may be ordered through www.anandagalleria.com

If You Were in Heaven Today

God said:
Imagine what it would be like if you were in Heaven today. Your heart would be light. Fear would be unknown to you.

When you are All That There Is, what can consume you?

At present, as you imagine yourself on Earth, your thoughts consume you. In Heaven, your thoughts would be quite different. Love would be all-consuming. You might not have thoughts at all. You would have your heart bursting with light, and the light from you would leave no room for the random thoughts that presently make up your life.

You would be occupied with love. Not really occupied as you understand occupation. Let Us call occupation fulfillment. Yes, fulfillment is closer to the actuality. You would be in a state of infinite fulfillment. In Heaven, you yourself would be the fruition of all that you have dreamed of on Earth.

Earth has been a landing pad. Earth has been a preparation for Heaven, strange as that may seem. Heaven needs no preparation, and yet you prepare for it. Your desires prepare you. At the same time, nothing can prepare you for Heaven. Heaven is beyond anything you could think of.

In Heaven you enter a circle of love which is so binding that it sets you free. You are free now, only you have kept yourself in bondage to the world of events. On Earth you are preoccupied. Here comes the mind again with all its booming thoughts, sweeping the rug from under you, sweeping you into the brush, sweeping you right and left, back and forth, turning you every which way, even turning you against yourself rather than in favor of yourself.

It is like Earth is the gym you go to, exercise in, over-exercise in, for you believe that strenuous exercise is the key to life. If the Earth is a gym, what exactly are you training for?

Make Earth a spa instead. Rest. Rejuvenate on Earth. Make it a vacation on a gentle beach. Watch the waves. Ride them. Lie in the sun. Remark that this isle is to warm you up. Earth is a resting place rather than a fitful training ground.

Beloveds, Earth can be anything you want. Unless you know that, then you have allowed your Earth life to go by default. What if, instead of thinking as you presently do, you thought that Earth was Paradise? What if you couldn't read so well as you do and you misread the name of where you are. What a good slip.

What if your life, instead of being a novel called the Rough Seas, what if your life is a novel called the High Seas?

What if you are a child in elementary school, and Earth is the recess where you play in the schoolyard?

What if life on Earth is the playground that is meant for fun? What if all you know about Earth is that it is a playground? What if you thought differently from how you presently think?

What if life on Earth is a rehearsal for Heaven? What if life on Earth is a preponderance of joy? What if joy is your reason for being on this isle of Earth?

What if on Earth you are not only flesh and blood? What if you are the spirit of love? What if there is no space to float in and no time to do it in. Is the turtle its shell? Are you only your physicalness? You know better. You know there is a Vastness to you. Live in Vastness, beloveds. You are encased in nothing smaller than Vastness except as you have thought.

Wherever you happen to be hanging out for the present, you are Vastness. Vastness cannot be smallness, and you are Vastness.
