| The Perception of the Ancients and modernists On Time and its management Posted: 16 Jan 2012 01:00 PM PST Article by John Matthew Oddly enough, despite being wrapped away in the unconscious centre of our brain it is light sensitive. In Taoism, Hinduism and Buddhism, since long before the medical function of the pineal gland was known, it has been referred to as the "third eye". Indian tradition links the ajna chakra (sixth chakra) to the pineal gland. Ajna translates in Sanskrit to "command". Whereas the base chakras each relate to a different element, the sixth chakra relates to time, and insight through 'higher knowing'. The Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland was our connection to higher thought; Descartes called it "the seat of the soul." The "third eye" became a sign of divinity, or "heavenly eye" in China, the "eye of Shiva" in India, the "eye of Ra" in Egypt (the Sun God - the sun symbolizing gold in alchemy). Combined with the pyramid, a symbol of the trinity and the divine, it became the "all-seeing eye" which we now find on the back of every American dollar bill. IT'S ABOUT TIME How do we know when we are in the flow? On the one hand, flow is our path of least resistance. At a deeper level, flow is a well-known state that people who becomes totally immersed in an activity they have mastered, whether a sport or their passion, can find themselves in. When we are in our life flow, we can access this flow state more easily. When we are in it, we change the way we experience time. The conscious brain experiences time, while the unconscious brain appears to take little notice of it. Jung observed that dreams occur outside of time, with no past, present or future. When we operate in our unconscious, time appears to disappear. When we are in our flow, we experience time quite differently. On the one hand, time seems to fly, as we operate largely from our unconscious. Yet we can also slow time down almost at will, as our conscious mind is freed up to live entirely in the moment. When we are in our flow, quite amazingly, it feels like we can control time. "Wealth is con! trolled time."- Buckminster Fuller We have all had an experience when "time flies". This is when we are doing something we love, our unconscious mind is operating and our conscious mind is at rest. We have also all had the experience when we can "slow time down" - especially at critical moments when you are entirely in the moment, and are able to recount every step of the instant. What exactly is it that makes time appear so relative? Deepak Chopra, in his book "Synchrodestiny", recounts: "The physical world is made up of nothing but information contained in energy vibrating at different frequencies. The reason we don't see the world as a huge web of energy is that it is vibrating far too fast. There is an analogy that illustrates this point. Scientists know that it takes a snail about three seconds to register light. So imagine that a snail was watching me and that I left the room, robbed a bank, and came back in three seconds. As far as the snail was concerned, I never left the room. I could take her to court and she would provide the perfect alibi. For the snail, the time that I was gone from the room would fall into one of those gaps between the frames of flickering existence. Her sense of continuity would simply not register the gap. "So the sensory experience of all living beings is a purely artificial perceptual construct created in the imagination. There is a Zen story in which two monks are looking at a flag that is waving in the wind. The first one says, "The flag is waving". The second one says, "No, the wind is moving." Their teacher comes over and they pose him the question, "Who's right? I say the flag is moving. He says the wind is moving." The teacher says, "You are both wrong. Only consciousness is moving." As consciousness moves, it imagines the world into existence."

| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST Article by Kirsten Stacey Ideas turn out to be things. Radiate good vibrations and watch the universe reverberate in type; we create our own truth; feel high thoughts along with your world grows brighter; concentrate on the detrimental, along with your fears materialize. Ideas inside attract things around. Tomorrow's God will arrive down to earth and be part of us, as humankind awakens to locate that its concept of the supreme getting wrongly displays the true deity. Daily life is God acting out its purpose, getting to be genuine in bodily sort. An universal head underlies the planet; converse to it and it will supply an reply. Make up your brain; feel positive thoughts; enrich your self; leave your person ego and create a whole new Earth. And so the new spirituality speaks of a tidal wave shortly to wash about us, becoming a member of the old truths of religion with new-age optimism; 1 thoughts, one planet. Since the teachings from the new spiritualism reflect the teachings in the old spiritualism, it is difficult to oppose this optimistic viewpoint. But for the teachings to become genuine, the new spiritualism will want more than substantial thoughts, bright-colored guides, and promises of the greater globe. It's going to require a logical, credible grounding. It will need a coherent worldview, a metaphysics, and especially, an integrated picture with the universe that explains both spirit as well as the content entire world. That is all very good and excellent. Nobody reads, considerably less agrees with, Berkeley and Hume any much more. But then right here arrives the shocker for anyone who care to devote some focus to your problem. When we flip to quantum principle, physic's leading principle with the nature of fact, we discover that physicists as well as the idealist philosophers are declaring very close to exactly the same point but in different ways. Physicists repeatedly remind us that "atoms usually are not points." Somewhat, on the base of truth all we've are "quantum waves," somet! hing res ting from the borderland among a particle as well as a wave, or even the wave perform, a method telling us wherever we could find a particle if we choose to look for one. (See Bruce Rosenblum & Fred Kuttner, Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness). Nobel prize-winning physicists, Robert J. Laughlin, tells us that "[q]uantum mechanical matter consists of waves of nothing." (A Distinct Universe). Jim Al-Khalili, in his book, Quantum: A Guide for that Perplexed, acknowledges that "no one really knows what the wave operate actually is." It is not a "classical particle with a definite location at each time." Somewhat it is a probability wave that "collapses" into a discrete particle when observed. As Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner write, "There is no way to interpret quantum concept without encountering consciousness." Why? Because even though quantum principle says only wave functions exist, scientific observations somehow convert the wave perform into a particle. As quickly as consciousness is found to play a role inside the "collapse from the wave operate," the next question is, how much of the role? Instead of mind-independent matter, are there mind-independent wave functions "out there" waiting to be collapsed into a true world? Or, was Berkeley right after all? Are we simply looking at a dream from the mind of an Eternal Spirit? Quantum theorists say that conscious observations are necessary to produce a photograph of bodily truth; Berkeley said that a mind or spirit is necessary for us to experience a content globe. Isn't the difference between these two viewpoints one of emphasis somewhat than of doctrine? Have scientists, in belittling Berkeley's philosophy, missed out on a chance to integrate science with idealism? Despite the findings of quantum physics, the scientific head cannot bring itself to dispense with the principle of objectivity, the belief that "there is a real globe independent of human perceptions." (Ernst Mayr, This is Biology: The Science of the Livi! ng Entir e world.) Science remains the emotionally-detached search for truth; it does not want to inject spirit, lifestyle, or brain into the wave operate; it only wants to observe particles in motion. The two the idealist philosophers and quantum theorists agree that there is no such factor as a mind-independent planet of matter. Somewhat, under both fields of thought, matter is a notion we've got implanted upon the external entire world. In other words, the two matter and spirit are internal concepts and exist around the exact same level. Therefore, spirit should be able to affect matter from the exact same way that the substance entire world - a bad day on the office, the home team comes from behind to win, our best friend moves away - affects spirit. So we are now ready to outline a metaphysics for that new spirituality. And it really is simple. All of physical fact does in fact reside in an Eternal Spirit, and this spirit is what we call God. If we are one particular thoughts within the midst of a powerful dream, then most everything the new spirituality says can be true: thoughts can make up points because the thought along with the thing are connected, like a dreamer and its dream. If we can solve the problem of solipsism and discover a way to integrate science into this new viewpoint, then we will really be on to something. The prediction right here is that the "new spirituality" will eventually divide into two camps: those who practice spirituality (or religion) within the worldview of materialism and pray for an omnipotent God to change the planet through a miracle, and individuals who conclude that to make spiritualism actual, it'll be necessary to eliminate the independent-world assumption of scientific materialism and join spirit with matter, the dreamer with its dream. Philip Mereton is a practicing lawyer with a philosophy degree whose mission is to expose the fallacies in our current materialistic worldview and to advance a much more rational -- and promising -- outlook. Hi! s first book, The Heaven on the End of Science - An Argument for a fresh Worldview of Hope, began as a college essay in 1974. The theme is the same: idealism (the entire world is really a dream) greater explains the world than materialism (the entire world is a decaying machine). His website and blog appear at http://www.heavenattheendofscience.com. Mr. Mereton asks all viewers who have doubts over the truth in the Big Bang, the origin of lifestyle from a primordial swamp, humankind's descent from bacteria, or even the death of God (among many other doubtful findings of modern science), to join the revolution against scientific materialism. The revolution begins with a question: is materialism correct? Is there a much better way to explain the world we live in? After all, if the planet is really a dream, it'd be to our advantage to learn and understand that fact now so that we can learn how to master the dream and thus our personal lives, fairly than manipulate particles in materialism's grand machine. So what can you do? Visit the website; read books that question materialism; raise your hand in class and question science teachers; be variety. Under the tenets of science, the truth will remain standing after all the questioning and experimentation ends. But we must start first start the debate. Join in.

| Courteney Cox: David Arquette 'is my best friend' Posted: 16 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST  Courteney Cox and David Arquette remain close and run their production company together, Coquette Productions.
(PEOPLE.com) -- They may be the happiest unmarried couple in L.A. "He's my favorite person in the world," Courteney Cox told PEOPLE of her estranged husband David Arquette at the "Cougar Town" TCA party. "He's my best friend. No matter what happens in our future, he's my very best friend." Cox and Arquette, who separated in fall 2010 after 11 years of marriage, remain close and together run their production company, Coquette Productions, that has some art-imitating-life projects in the works. Cox tells PEOPLE, "We sold one show, 'Ten Year,' about a couple who separated after 10 years of marriage. It's not really about David and me, but it's something we related to and we thought we should tell a story about people who could actually get along after being separated. It's telling a different version." As far as Arquette's recovery after rehab for alcohol abuse, his No. 1 supporter says they just celebrated a milestone. "[We went out to celebrate] David's one year of sobriety," Cox says. "He's great. Good for him." See the full article at PEOPLE.com. © 2011 People and Time Inc. All rights reserved.

| Three Reasons Buddhist Practice Centres Should Buy Wholesale Mediation Shawls From Tibet Arts Posted: 16 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST Article by Seo5 Consulting Buddhist practice centers can buy shawls for their students at wholesale prices, to help their followers enhance and improve their mediation, and to create a profit for the center. A mediation shawl is the perfect way for students to comfortably meditate all year around because they provide just the right amount of warmth and comfort to feel at ease without the distraction of nature's elements. A mediation shawl that is offered at a wholesale rate, supplies the practice center with a discounted price on multiple shawls, which can be sold to the students, or be used as gifts for new students and visitors. The Benefits of Wholesale Mediation Supplies 1. Savings for the Practice Center Many practice centers run on the donations that they receive and the fundraising efforts of the handmade items that they create and sell. It's likely that any center does not have the funding for a large investment. Wholesale rates allow any practice center or shop the ability to buy the supplies that they require for mediation at a discounted rate. This is beneficial as the center will still receive a high quality product but because they are purchasing the item in bulk numbers, the wholesale distributor will be able to offer a discount on the merchandise. 2. Selling at a Profit Practice centers can increase their income by re-selling mediation items to their students. This works as an advantage to the students as well. When a new student joins, he or she may feel intimidated, and not know what he or she is supposed to have or bring to meditation. When their superiors tell them what is recommended, and inform the students that these supplies can be purchased on site, it makes the student's integration into practice and mediation a seamless and fluid transition. 3. Gift Giving A prayer item such as a shawl also makes a very fine gift for students or visitors. Mediation shawls can be made thick, completely out of wool for a lot of warmth on very cold nights, or a poly cotton bl! end for cooler summer mornings. These shawls can be provided to important visitors, or students that have achieved something for the practice center, or has done something honorable that has made he or she stand out amongst the other students. Whatever the case may be, having shawls on hand that are superior quality, is always recommended for practice centers. Buying wholesale is a great way to still receive quality items and to purchase them at a discounted rate. Wholesale savings can improve Buddhist practice centers by offering students a convenient place to purchase their supplies, and provides students and visitors with the accessories that they need for a comfortable and enlightening meditation. Wholesale rates can be applied to any mediation requirement including alter cloths, mediation belts and bell and vajra sets. Tibet Arts has been offering their Buddhist meditation shawl and other practice items since 1992. For a list of their wholesale products visit, Tibetarts. About the AuthorTibet Arts supply a fine range of Tibetan jewelry and Tibetan singing bowls. They are located in Cambridge. Our Store also sells meditation shawl, supplies and manadala earrings.

| Drowning Incidents Among Children Drop, Study Finds Posted: 16 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST
The rate of children hospitalized yearly due to drowning-related incidents has dropped by 50 percent since the early 1990s, a new report finds. The biggest drop occurred in the southern U.S., where drowning-related incidents fell from seven yearly hospitalizations per 100,000 children to three annual hospitalizations per 100,000 children. "The report shows that we're doing a good job," said lead author Stephen Bowman, an epidemiologist and professor at the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy. "Trends are going in the right direction, but there's still about 1,000 deaths from drowning in children per year," Bowman said. "And that's too many." This is the first study to look at trends in hospitalizations for drowning incidents in children. The study is published today (Jan. 16) in the journal Pediatrics. Drowning highest among infants and toddlers Every day in the U.S, about ten people die from accidental drowning. Of these, two are children 14 years old or younger, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1 to 19 in the U.S. Among children, infants and toddlers are the highest risk group. In 2007, almost 30 percent of children who died from accidental injury died from drowning. Near drownings can cause brain damage, which can lead to long-term health complications such as memory problems, learning disabilities and permanent loss of basic functioning. "Drowning is such a terrible, nasty injury because you're not getting enough oxygen," said Dr. Linda Quan, a pediatric emergency room physician at Seattle Children's Hospital. "You can have a cardiac arrest, and with medical assistance, your heart might be able pump again," said Quan who was not involved with the work. "But other organs including the brain may not be able to sustain such an injury," she said. Which may explain how even after resuscitation, a person can still die after being hospitalized. Are efforts to reduce accidental drownings enough? Researchers looked at hospital data over a 16-year period and found the rates of hospitalization from drowning-related incidents declined in children younger than 19 years old. From 1993 to 2008, researchers found, the number of hospitalizations associated with drowning decreased from about five cases per 100,000 children, to two cases. Researchers also observed a 40 percent drop in bathtub-related drowning hospitalizations in infants and toddlers. Study authors noted boys maintained higher rates of drowning injuries than girls. The reason for the overall decline may be due to "educational campaigns that have been put into place to reduce drowning," Bowman said. "Efforts such as putting fences around pools and encouraging parents to have kids in a supervised setting, are some of the things we'd like to believe are yielding positive results in reducing drowning," he said. But Quan said she isn't entirely sure such efforts are the only reason for the decline. "It could mean that kids aren't going to the beach as often," she said. "Or maybe they're just sitting at home playing computer games. We don't really know for sure why there's a decline." She said there hasn't been enough attention given to water safety. "We haven't had national focus, medical focus or family focus on preventing drowning," Quan said. "We haven't taken the same approach to preventing drowning like we have with motor vehicle accidents." What is most important is that parents follow all the necessary steps to ensure their child is safe, she said. "Every family needs to think about how to prepare and respond to any water related activity," Quan said. Some of her suggestions included:

| 15 Tips To Manage Stress; and They Won't Cost You a Penny! Posted: 16 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST Article by Jeff Behar 15 Tips To Manage Stress; and They Won't Cost You a Penny! Written by Jeff Behar 15 Tips to Help Manage Stress Get enough sleep. Lack of rest can aggravate stress. Eat well. Avoid sugars, processed foods, too much caffeine. Exercise Regularly. Exercise is one of the best physical stress-reduction techniques available. Exercise not only improves your health and reduces stress caused by unfitness, it also relaxes tense muscles and helps you to sleep. Exercise has a number of other positive benefits you may not be aware of: (1) It improves blood flow to your brain, bringing additional sugars and oxygen that may be needed when you are thinking intensely. (2) By exercising, you speed the flow of blood through your brain, removing bio waste products caused by our body's internal actions faster.(3) Exercise can cause release of chemicals called endorphins into your blood stream. These give you a feeling of happiness and positively affect your overall sense of well-being. (4) There is also good evidence that physically fit people have less extreme physiological responses when under pressure than those who are not. This means that fit people are more able to handle the long- term effects of stress, without suffering ill health or burnout. Don't sweat the small stuff. Try to prioritize a few truly important things and let the rest slide Learn how to best relax yourself. Determine if the issue is worth stressing about? is it something that you have no control over to change? Try positive thinking. Positive thinking does help bring about positive change. Negative thoughts can affect the brains thinking and result on physio-chemical changes within your body...and thought process. Negative thinking also damages your performance by undermining your self-confidence. It also occupies "attentional capacity" at times when you need to focus your entire mind on what you are doing. Try not to personalize things. Maybe the other person or situation you are dealing with is really abou! t them a nd their poor coping techniques and not about you. In many cases, situations do not cause all of the stress that we experience. Keep things in perspective. Sometimes, our reaction to circumstances (and what we say to ourselves about them) contributes to the stress we experience. Sometimes we are right in what we say to ourselves. Often, however, we are overly harsh and unjust in a way that we would never be with friends or co-workers. This, along with other negative thinking, can cause intense stress and unhappiness and can severely damage your self-confidence. Prioritize. In today's fast paced world, whether it be at home or at work, workload issues lie behind much of the stress we experience. Not only can a heavy workload be tiring in its own right, it often drives us to work much longer hours than we would really like. This means that we spend time working that we'd prefer to use for the things that give life value. It also means that we're working when we should really be resting. Worse than this, a heavy routine workload leaves us little time to deal with the emergencies that come up from time-to-time. This adds to the feeling of being "out of control" that is so much part of stress. Successful workload management is therefore vitally important for your job satisfaction.If you feel overwhelmed with a "to do list" reduce the number of events going on in your life and you may reduce the circuit overload. Set a realistic list of items to do and start prioritizing. Be mindful. You can selectively change the way you react, by first identifying stress in its early stages. Listen to your body and feel the early signs of stress (maybe you can feel tightness in your chest, or your response starts quickening). Take these early signs as an opportunity to implement relaxation techniques like counting to ten and deep breathing, and/or use it as an opportunity to remove yourself from the stressful situation before it gets worse. Bottom line: learn to recognize stress for what it is. Increase ! your bod y's feedback and make stress self-regulating. Meditate. Meditation is a good way of relaxing during, and at the end of, a stressful day. It is something you can learn to do yourself, or may be something you prefer to learn in classes. Meditation and breathing exercises have been proven to be very effective in controlling stress. Note: Some of the key research on meditation was carrier out by Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard University. His book on this, "The Relaxation Response", was published in 1968. In a series of experiments into various popular meditation techniques, Dr. Benson established that these techniques had a very real effect on reducing stress and controlling the fight-or-flight response. Direct effects included slowed heartbeat and breathing, reduced oxygen consumption and increased skin resistance. Reduce brain clutter. Practice clearing your mind of disturbing thoughts.A good technique is to write down what is bothering you, then file it away, and out of your mind. Take 5 for yourself. Give yourself a break if only for a few moments daily. Avoid extreme reactions. Why hate when a little dislike will do? Why generate anxiety when you can be nervous? Why rage when anger will do the job? Overreacting can escalate stress. Walk Away. Remove yourself from the stressful situation. Many people bring stress upon themselves by not walking away. Avoid self-medication or escape. This includes alcohol and drugs, as well as dietary extremes such as excess sugar and caffeine. Remember, the management of stress depends mainly on the willingness of a person to make the changes necessary for a healthy lifestyle.

| How Your Subconscious Mind Affects Your Thoughts & Behavior Posted: 16 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST Article by Rhonda Jones The subconscious mind is the most wonderful gift by God to you. It is the most powerful part of your body because it controls your destiny. While the conscious mind is in charge of thoughts and actions that are under your full control, the subconscious mind takes charge of your feelings and emotions. How you direct your subconscious mind will greatly determine and affect the quality of your life. Your Subconscious Mind Stores Information You should be careful with what kind of information you put inside your mind because they go directly to your subconscious. If you fill your mind with negative thoughts then you tend to be more negative in life. Therefore, remove or limit the unnecessary harmful things that you see and hear which your subconscious mind might absorb. Negative information usually comes from the mass media such as the television, newspaper or radio. Try to fill your subconscious mind with more positive thoughts which will result to a more positive outlook. Repetitive Affirmations Affect your Subconscious Your subconscious mind stores knowledge through repetitions. When you constantly tell yourself about an idea or a belief, your subconscious mind will ultimately accept it. Positive affirmations can therefore be effective in achieving what you want in life because your thoughts control your actions. If you speak unkindly about yourself, then you tend to feel inferior and insecure. So try to appreciate your good qualities and compliment yourself for your positive traits. Do this positive self-talk as often as you can so that your subconscious mind will also see you in a positive way. Self-confidence that results from a positive outlook of your own self can lead to success, prosperity and happiness in life. Use your Subconscious for a Healthier you Your subconscious mind has a big role in getting rid of your vices and bad habits. Since it is in charge of your feelings and emotions, it can generate both enjoyment and fear. You probably enjoy engaging ! in your bad habits or vices but your subconscious mind can also produce the feeling of fear or anxiety due to their negative effects. This can serve as a powerful force for you to quit your vices and bad habits. The subconscious mind is also known for its power to heal. Doctors say that the mind and the body always go hand in hand in regaining a person's health. A patient has a greater chance to recover from his illness if he believes that he would rather than if he believes that he wouldn't. People sometimes forget the important role of the subconscious mind in their life. You should remember that it is a very powerful tool which can help you reach your goals and achieve the kind of life you want. It is a gift from God that must be used correctly and wisely.

| Five steps to opening the heart to peace Posted: 16 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST
The retreats initially began on Friday evening and ended on Sunday afternoon. They were so popular the next retreat was fully booked at the end of each retreat. After sensing the rhythm of the retreats for several years, we decided to extend the timing of them and so we started Thursday evenings and ended Sunday afternoons so that we would have an extra full day to meditate and practice yoga. With the combination of yoga and meditation, participants relaxed and looked inward and a community was established. Throughout the retreat we thought about an intention, something we wanted to consider during and after the retreat. The intentions came as a result of the yoga, meditation, silence, cooking together and having spaciousness from the usual routine of daily life. Towards the end of the retreat we shared our intentions, with each person listening quietly as individuals described their intentions. The intentions spanned a range of topics from exercise, meditation, diet, communication, music practice to making amends with estranged friends and family members. Although each person's intention was different, the common thread was that they came from the heart. Although we did not lead people to make intentions based on ethical disciplines of yoga, most of them did fall into five ethical categories. So, eventually, when leading meditation at the yoga retreats, I spoke about these steps to freedom. Just as the practice of yoga releases tension in the body, these five steps will release blocks to the flow of the heart and release unconditional love. When we love, we are free from the restrictions of ill will. Here is a list of five ways to open the heart: 1. ahimsa – nonharm – the practice of compassion and unconditional love for ourselves, for all human beings and all sentient beings We can practice ahimsa with each word we speak, each action we take and each thought we think. Ahimsa is the foundation for vegetarianism. Of course we don't always reach our ideals so an important aspect of this practice is to be gentle and accepting of ourselves when our practice falls short of the ideal. As a way of practicing ahimsa we might ponder the following queries:
2. satya – truth – the practice of being true in our thoughts, words and actions To practice satya, we are fearless in understanding the truth and this is reflected in what we think, how we communicate and how we behave. We are also fearless when listening to others, to understand their truth. We recognize that the foundation of truth is ahimsa. As a way of practicing satya, we might ponder the following:
3. asteya – not stealing – being free from desiring what belongs to others Desire and craving what we do not have means that we feel insufficient, as though we lack something. This practice means that we respect the property of others, return what we borrow, act in a courteous way with others (respecting their energy and time) and to be at peace within ourselves. We might practice asteya by reflecting on the following:
4. aparigraha – letting go – freedom from collecting possessions We desire to possess many things including material objects, thoughts and ideas, and even people. We cling to things – homes, cars, technological toys, books, adventures, partners, travel and pets. We feel secure when we have our "stuff". To practice letting go:
5. santosha – contentment – being at peace no matter what our situation is We may be in a partnership or single, live in an apartment or a home, drive a Subaru or a Lamborghini, work in a cubicle or the corner office with the view, we may be twenty or seventy, have a high school education or a Doctorate, healthy or ill, intellectual or not, artistic or not – whatever our circumstances, we are content and at peace. Being at peace means that when we work with, or know, or hear of someone who seems to "have it all" or "have it easy", we are centered and at peace with the understanding that we lack nothing. Some ideas to ponder when working with santosha include:
Patanjali (150 BCE) is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, an important collection of aphorisms on yoga practice based on reflection, meditation and ethics. He wrote: "Peace can be reached through meditation on the knowledge which dreams give. Peace can also be reached through concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart." Related posts:

| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST Article by Seomul Evans No matter what situation you work in, or what type of work you do, there will usually be things which from time to time cause you to feel stress. Frequently employees in the workplace will end up having one or two days away from work, as a result of stress build up. For some, their time off may even be longer than that. The key to this is how people manage stress. Some situations at work may cause you more stress than others; for example some people feel stress because of limitations on their time, whereas others feel stress because of the people they have to deal with at work. Many things are affected by how you handle stress at work, including your relationships with co-workers, your work performance, and even the state of your health. Nobody can completely avoid stress, and this is an important point you must understand if you want to be able to cope with stress. If you are constantly trying to avoid stress, then your health and work performance are still going to suffer. The next thing that's important for you to understand is that your stress symptoms are not cause directly by the work pressures, but by the way you look at them and how you manage them. Businesses are now becoming more aware of the huge effect which stress can have on their employees and their business, and as a result many have stress reduction measures in place. Some examples of these include employment benefits such as massage and gym membership, or 'mental health' release days. A lot of businesses which employ people in jobs that are known to be high stress also employ counselors, who help their employees to cope with their stress at work as well as stress they may be suffering in their personal lives. We are all affected differently by stress, which means that one person's symptoms of stress will differ from another's. Therefore it's important that you know what your stress symptoms are, as this will help you to cope with them. Amongst the more usual stress symptoms are stomach problems, all! ergies, sleep problems, back pain and headaches. Habits such as biting your nails can also develop as a result from stress. If symptoms of stress are not dealt with they can often lead to the development of more serious issues, including life threatening ones such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Serious psychological problems can also result, including difficulty controlling your anger, and depression. Stress at work does not, however, have to be a bad thing all of the time, and in fact some kinds of stress can improve your work performance and feelings of self worth. For example, if you have been allocated a particularly challenging task because your boss considers you the best person for it, then you will be likely to enjoy the challenge. You will probably then rise to it, even though you might have to put in some extra work. So, prepare yourself for inevitable stress at work, by knowing how to deal with those times before you get to them. Physical activity is a good way of coping with stress, because stress causes a build up of toxins, which can be released by exercise. You should also talk to someone about the things that are causing stress at work. It is important to share problems, and this may also help to work out solutions. Deep breathing can also help during times of stress.

Pinch out the excess air from the top of the balloon.9. Grab the balloon close to the cornstarch and tie the thread around balloon very tightly.10.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 03:00 AM PST Article by quotesmari The end all and be all of online encyclopedias, Wikipedia grabs the first slot on a Google search for the term Buddhism and the breakdown reads like this: "Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada, the oldest surviving branch, has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications, a third branch, Vajrayana, is recognized, although many see this as an offshoot of the Mahayana. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world. Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million." After living abroad in Asia for several years I have found that Buddhist cultures are more tolerant because the focus is on the 'self' and the meditation on the calming of the mind, concentrating on controlled breathing and the idea that meditation to bring one closer to peace is central to discovering one's self.Read more about love advices and love quotes at quotesnote.com About the AuthorMari is one of new author about love relation The Experience of No Self

We might even lose our capacity to think fast, clearly and make right decisions. It's not supposed to be like that. It is important to slow down, relax and calm down our bodies and minds. Otherwise the stress will build up and this will affect our lives and our relationships in negative ways. One of the best methods to slow down, relax and calm down our bodies and minds is meditation. We need to be sometimes still and we can achieve it through meditation. Meditation is a great antidote for all the stress and pressures which are practically unavoidable in the modern world. Meditation is good for everybody. Although it is a practice of many religions, it is not just a religious method. It can bring some religious or metaphysical experiences, but it is also a great way to reduce stress. Meditation may be a challenge for most people to do as a habit. But it is not as difficult as some may think. There are several easy meditation techniques that anyone can follow toward attaining a deeper sense of relaxation. Meditation is an effective weapon against banishing stress brought about by the rigors of life. People practice meditation for all kinds of reasons, and one of them is health. By practicing meditation we can improve our health significantly. Ultimately we all look for happiness, and meditation can bring the real happiness which is in us. Nowadays people are also interested in subjects like manifestation and the law of attraction, but to be able to manifest what we want, we also need to calm our minds and bring happy feelings to us.

For many years I co-led a yoga and meditation retreat with a friend. The retreat was called Open Heart, Quiet Mind and it was offered at Aryaloka Meditation Center in Newmarket, New Hampshire. My friend taught yoga and I led guided meditations on the metta bhavana, the meditation on the development of loving-kindness.
