Self Love is Found Beyond Ego Posted: 15 Jul 2012 12:00 PM PDT by AlicePopkorn Article by Janice Ervin, Spiritual Lecturer & Theorist The kitchen, with its' melding of scents, great food and conversation, is often a favorite gathering place. Seems like there's something about the feeling of the room that coaxes folks to relax, unwind and open up. This past Memorial Day I was fortunate to spend a few precious hours with a long distance friend, while slicing a lemon meringue pie for the intimate group of friends relaxing in the garden. We bounced along topics, until we came to the question, "How does one stop oneself from feeling stressful concerns of inadequacy when in a competitive sports atmosphere?" In other words, there you are, excited to play a game, supported by your fellow teammates, with a long history of fun filled excellent sportsmanship achievements to your credit. Yet there is this facet to all humans that creates doubt and has the ability to sabotage the mind set. Since that short conversation, I've skimmed the edges of this topic in my mind, recalling past experiences which relate to the same core difficulty. For instance, I've enjoyed dancing for as long as I can remember, yet numerous times I've heard fellow lovers of dance express feelings of inadequacy when it comes to stepping out on the floor. In fact, during the most recent showing of the prime time program, 'Medium', a woman discussed taking tango lessons and when a man suggested she visit a dance club he was familiar with, she shyly responded, 'Oh, I don't think so...I'm not ready for that yet.' We have all experienced moments of self-doubt at some time in our life. We compare our physicality's, our strengths, our artistic abilities, our monetary situations, our valuables, our business prowess and even the condition of the grass in our front yards against those of another person. We cringe at the idea of being placed in a position where we might be weighed, measured and found wanting according to a standard set by someone else. In fact, many studies list public speaking as one of the greatest human fears, for it places an individual out in front, with all ! those kn owing, judging eyes quietly taking stock. Why is it that we are we not at peace and comfortable with whom we are? And why is it necessary to measure our achievements against an exterior value? Because the ego is consistent in its desire to be perceived as 'top dog', one might say that a positive feature to the act of comparing is its ability to push an individual beyond their current limits. It stimulates a drive for enhanced knowledge and accomplishment. Yet in truth, it makes little sense. Raised under diverse circumstances and because our lives are in a continuous state of building upon experiences, even our perception of similar experiences will vary. Now when an individual is participating as a team member, there is the understanding that each player brings a unique aspect to the group toward a united goal, which for any sport, is to win. Therefore, team members feel a pressure to be their best. Could there be an element of this pressure which actually relates to the individual's concern over whether the team members will find them a worthy colleague? With these musings, I thought of all the self help books, how to books, and philosophical books which enable individuals to gain a greater handle on this wide spread topic, 'self love'. These books discuss the power of thought and positive affirmation. This subject is relevant for talk shows as well. One psychologist recommends standing naked in front of the mirror each day, and reaffirming to the mirrored image that they are beautiful, and worthy of love. Other suggestions include talking openly about the reasons you might suffer from bouts of low self esteem, delving into past experiences and adopting methods to forgive yourself and others. In sum, the general concept appears to be to shatter the less affirming programmed habits then rebuild an optimistic, encouraging viewpoint in its stead. While all of these concepts are excellent, is it possible a relevant aspect is missing?Thus far, suggestions such as mentioned above facilitate a ! heighten ed awareness for our conscious and even our subconscious thought process. In fact, to some degree, they highlight our thoughts, patterns, and triggers, as the core focus point for consideration, should we wish to create changes in our lives. So, if someone is upset because of an overweight concern, the idea is to find out what triggers their eating. If someone finds themselves feeling insecure in a social gathering, or while playing a sport, the idea is to determine what the trigger is that makes them feel less than assured, then reprogram that thought process to one that best serves their life in a positive manner. However, while we are formed of a physical, mental emotional body, we are likewise gifted with an ethereal body. This light body is the subtle essence - the quiet awareness which exist between the incessant ticker tape of thoughts playing through our minds daily. And while intangible, this component - the nucleus of YOU - is as real as faith, hope or love. Its role is to connect with others, manifest itself on this physical plane through your thoughts, and actions, and experience all this physical existence has to offer through eyes of compassion and non-judgment. Additional areas for consideration would be to keep in mind that time is priceless and fleeting. Lifetimes pass way too quickly - we exist within physical bodies which are not designed to exist forever. So, instead of focusing on and identifying our wholeness solely with our human body, emotions and thoughts, what if we step back and identify our existence from an illuminated vantage point? Maybe by keeping the larger picture out in front, we will experience a shift in awareness which will affect many areas of our life, to include the questions surrounding 'self-love'. For how can you entertain the idea of comparing yourself against another, when all beings are made up of an ethereal body rooted in compassion and non-judgment? Wouldn't it be better if all desire for enhanced knowledge were kindled by a purely enthusiastic int! erest? A nd with an understanding that you are a living means to allow spirit to manifest on this plane, how can you not immerse yourself in each experience for its unparalleled moment which simply IS? Individuals are as unique as snowflakes and precious as gems. Know that you are made of stardust, sunshine, laughter and dreams. Dance with delight and pour your heart into a song. Play your favorite sport with exhilaration for the pleasure it brings. Gaze into the mirror and appreciate the miraculous, multifaceted wonder that is you. It's more than a mantra or prosaic saying - it's your life. Live it with clear awareness that it IS a gift. You may find your fears will magically erode in the shadows from lack of attention when you fully engage in spotlighting your joy.

Peace of mind can provide healthy body! Posted: 15 Jul 2012 11:00 AM PDT by RubyJi Article by Brett Fuller Is peace of mind directly related to the healthy body? The answer is Yes! It is true. A healthy mind can reside in a healthy body, as the matter of fact a healthy mind can create healthy body. But an unstable or full of problems mind can never be at peace and let the body be at peace. It always looks for external factors to soothe the mind and then get the feeling of relaxation through that. A very common example, when one is working with full concentration, the entire body can feel the tension and we actually forget to eat or drink water for hours long, which is not a case normally. This is how we can say that the mind rules our body. It can make or break our body because the state of mind can be reflected in our daily behavior. We can be very much relaxed or happy when the mind is relaxed. The stress and tensions can lead to disturbed bodily routine. The mind can play games with our body if we let it do so. Another example of emotions controlling body is, a stressful situation the mind seeks solace in the external factors like recreation or substances which offer temporary relaxation from existing anguish. This is called Dual Diagnosis, which means, major mental health disorders and alcohol or substance addictions at the same time. The concept can be used broadly to describe, for example depression and alcoholism, or it can be very well restricted to specify severe mental illness such as psychosis, schizophrenia and substance misuse disorder e.g. cannabis abuse or a person who has a milder mental illness and a drug dependency, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder and is dependent on opioids. In short this term broadly means use of drugs and severe mental illness combined together. A dual diagnosis treatment center is a place which aims at healing mind and body together to fight it out. There are various dual diagnosis rehab which help in dealing effectively with this illness. The problem for professional counselors and mental health care providers in trying to help these ! patients is making an accurate diagnosis due to their variations in moods. This disorder does not only affect the adults, but also teen. This disorder does not affect the adults only but also the youth.

Meditation - Having More Fun Posted: 15 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT by Gurumustuk Singh Article by Steve Gillman There are a lot very good reasons for developing a meditation practice. You are likely to be healthy both physically and mentally. You'll have less stress. You might gain some insight into the workings of your own mind. Your friends may find that you are easier to be around. Then there are the spiritual goals. Some people use meditation as a form of prayer. For some it means learning to be in the moment, with the hope that this more natural and peaceful state of mind can be carried into everyday life and activities. Other find that meditation helps them to become more compassionate. Whatever your reasons for meditating, it also can just be pleasurable and interesting. If you want to make it more pleasurable and more interesting, there are some things you can try. The following are just a few examples. New Meditation Experiences The first thing you might want to try is meditation CDs or other recordings that use brainwave entrainment technologies. These make meditating easy. Just put on your headphones and listen - that's all it takes. You will be guided into an Alpha state or deeper without any effort. Some of these recordings are designed strictly for meditation. They are often sold as sets, with each CD or MP3 download meant to take you into a deeper state of consciousness. Others are meant to take you in and out of deeper states on a sort of brainwave roller coaster ride. These might be more useful for stimulating creative thought, or for entertainment than for meditating. One thing about this powerful technology that makes it very interesting, is that it does the work for you. Some will claim that you lose something if you replace regular meditation practices with brainwave entrainment, and this is a possibility. On the other hand, there is no reason you can't do it both ways. The power of this technology (if you listen while laying down, you'll probably fall asleep in minutes) means you can meditate in places and circumstances that are normally ruled out. For example, you might not ordinarily think of meditating in the lunch room at your place of employment, or in a coffee shop. But with a meditation recording on an MP3 player, you can do this easily. Sit back and close your eyes and hit the play button. The others in the room will assume you are listening to music, and the recording will diminish the volume of all the distracting sounds in the room. You can also take a walk while meditating. Just clip that MP3 player to your belt or drop it into your shirt pocket as I do, and put in the ear-buds. I like to walk the woods or along a beach while listening to a brainwave entrainment recording. You might try it on city streets as well. In fact, the small size and almost meaningless weight of MP3 players has opened up many interesting ways to practice meditation using brainwave technologies. Copyright Steve Gillman.

Stress Relief Techniques for Surgery and Best Home Remedies Posted: 15 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT by familymwr Article by Mikehussey Stress Relief Techniques for Surgery and Best Home RemediesThe body's natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress.

For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn't always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under weight and motivate you to do your best.

Can Acupuncture Encourage Fat Reduction? Posted: 15 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT by familymwr Article by Bernard French In Chinese medication, worry, stress and anxiety and depression interrupt the sleek flow of Qi or electricity all the way through the body. According to Chinese medicine, our Qi flows by our human body through meridians. Meridians can be assumed of as a network of roads, nearly like a highway process.

When our Qi is blocked, it can result in stress in the system since the blood is not in a position to flow smoothly. For instance, many men and women complain of upper back, shoulder and neck soreness when they are encountering strain. This is due to the fact worry is blocking the flow of blood and vitality to these areas which normally prospects to stress headaches in the back again of the head.Like a highway process, when there is building or an incident, traffic will get back again up on other secondary roads that feed into or out of the affected area. This is also real of our body as effectively. Pressure can impact a lot of other components of the entire body and aggravate other well-being ailments. Acupuncture performs to unblock regions of congestion so that your electricity can flow smoothly and freely. Acupuncture factors serve as on and off ramps to the power highway and can enable alleviate not only the signs and symptoms of tension and nervousness but the real strain and anxiety itself.From a standard viewpoint, acupuncture alleviates pressure by releasing organic pain killers, endorphins, as effectively as oxytocin. Oxytocin signals the parasympathetic nervous process (rest and digest mode).

A growing internecine conflict in modern Buddhism Posted: 15 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT It is becoming more recognized that an internecine conflict has developed in Buddhism between interpretations of Buddhism that rely on the Buddhist canon and  secular Buddhist interpretations which ignore much of the Buddhist canon. Key to understanding secular Buddhism, judging from its various sources, is secular Buddhism develops out of a reaction to the Buddhist canon, itself, insofar as various ideas within the canon do not chime with secularism.  It is important to note that secularism does not accept religious gnosis as a valid form of knowledge whereby the adept is directly in communion with ultimate reality which happens to be immaterial.   If the differences between traditional Buddhism and secular Buddhism were only a matter of interpreting what the Buddha meant by nirvana, for example, there would not have arisen such an internecine conflict.  The gravamen of the conflict is that secular Buddhism rejects, a priori, much of the Buddhist canon only allowing certain discoures of the Buddha to pass muster. What secular Buddhism should be understood as really being is secularism that embraces some of what the Buddha taught and, for that matter, also embraces some things Jesus taught, and so on. Where the internecine conflict gets nasty, for want of a better term, is when secular Buddhists believe they have the right to reform Buddhism by expunging certain key notions such as rebirth and karma and radically modifying others such as nirvana; not safeguarding these notions as the Buddha cautions us to do.  (As I have mentioned before in an earlier blog, without rebirth nirvana is impossible to achieve simply because, using the Buddha's own example, it requires several lifetimes.)  Read More @ Source

Benefits of Mind Mapping - Why is it an Excellent Tool During Learning Lessons? Posted: 15 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT by mj*laflaca Article by Alicia McWilliams Many people these days feel that their minds are being flooded with various bits and pieces of data or information and they quite naturally find that it is more and more difficult to organize many of their thoughts. Along with this lack of logical thought the people start to experience moments of time where they find they are forgetting relevant facts, dates, events and similar data. During important meetings these same people may find that it is difficult to even take simple notes. The problems that I have just mentioned are typical of those that many people have been experiencing lately in their daily activities. For those people who are suffering from these problems there is help nearby known as mind mapping. The process known as mind mapping has proven itself to be a very useful instrument for both individuals as well as corporations from all areas of the globe.

Relaxation Techniques for anxiety Posted: 14 Jul 2012 08:00 PM PDT by Ralph Buckley Article by We provide renewing your hope,meditation,new beginning,relaxationtechniques,relaxation meditation,meditation for beginners,spiritual meditation,relaxation techniques for anxiety,calming techniques,spi To relax first, it is important to understand what is anxiety and where does it set off from. Anxiety in simple terms is the state of being anxious. Anxious is nothing but worry and worry comes from thoughts. Thoughts come from our psychic impressions that are stored within us in the subconscious mind that is the accumulation of experiences from so many lifetimes. So, when anxiety strikes what usually happens is the panic button is hit and then there is a vicious cycle of more worries thus triggering more anxiety and so on. Understanding anxiety is the first step to cure it. It can be cured by none other than the self. Medications and counseling help only to a certain degree but it still does not address the root cause of the anxiety. That is why relaxation helps a great deal because during relaxation the thoughts causing anxiety are not active. That is why you never get anxiety when you are asleep because the mind is in deep relaxation mode. This relaxation can be consciously obtained by many methods such as meditation, positive contemplation, and prayer, being in nature like walking on a beach, splashing the water, walking on grass or simply gazing at the beauty of nature. All these connect you with something calm and soothing and fix you into the relaxation mode. It should be known that when you notice the first symptom of anxiety, which is usually a confusion of the mind, irritation, sweating, racing heart beat, confused behavior, etc, the first thing to be aware of is that you have triggered something that lies within you in the form of fear. The moment this gets triggered the body reacts to the situation (even if it is safe) as a threat and then begins anxiety and the anxious thoughts. With awareness that you have triggered an underlying fear in some way, the first thing to do should be to relax. You will be able to relax only if you understand that there is nothing actually threatening but it is an unresolved thing that you have somehow triggered. So, when you relax with this gr! eat unde rstanding you will notice your anxiety starting to subside. Remind yourself constantly there is nothing to be worried about and get into relaxation mode. When the mind starts relaxing to a trigger of anxiety, the mind starts retraining this pattern and slowly just as a thought created the anxiety, the anxiety will create a relaxing mind. All this would depend on how strongly you train your mind repeatedly to do this. Eventually, if you are strong willed to reprogram your mind with relaxation, you notice that you would be slowly able to conquer anxiety About the Author The best practice is that instead ofrelaxing when anxiety strikes, why not relax oneself in every task and moment of life. This training of learning to relax in life regularly would be the greatest prevention from anxiety then waiting for it to happen and trying to cure it.

Service Means to Please ISKCON Bangalore Posted: 14 Jul 2012 07:00 PM PDT by AlicePopkorn Article by International Society for Krishna Consciousness Temple, Bangalore Lord Krishna is known as Adhokshaja, one who cannot be approached through the material senses. But when the senses are employed in His transcendental loving service, the inapproachable Lord manifests Himself before the devotee. Bhakti or devotional service means to render service for the pleasure of the Supreme Lord. When a devotee renders such service, the Lord becomes pleased and thus reveals Himself.The person who renders service or seva is called sevaka and the beneficiary is called sevya. The principle behind rendering any service is to please the sevya. The first class devotional service is defined by Srila Rupa Gosvami as: anyabhilashita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavritam / anukulyena krishnanu-silanam bhaktir uttama"One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Krishna favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service."The significant point here is 'anukulyena krishnanu-silanam: transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Krishna favorably' because the service is considered as devotional when it is rendered favorably to Lord Krishna. A favorable service has two essential elements: welfare of the served and authorization for the service. Without these two the service doesn't even stand good as a service.Kamsa, the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna, was constantly thinking of Krishna. Day and night, while eating, walking, sleeping, etc., he meditated upon Krishna but with a motive of killing Him. Even though constantly remembering Krishna is one of the nine bona fide processes of devotional service and it's a state that is achieved by the yogis after great sadhana, yet Kamsa's remembrance is not considered devotional service because it was against well being of Krishna. Despite investing so much of energy and consciousness in Krishna, Kamsa missed out the most desired goal of human life; pleasing Krishna and establishing loving relationship with Him because his action ! was agai nst the welfare of the Lord. However, Lord Krishna, being an ocean of compassion, awarded impersonal liberation to him. Thus, consideration of welfare of the sevya forms an essential element of devotional service.The consideration of welfare alone is not enough. There is another indispensable aspect: authorization. The authorization for a service comes from the sevya or the beneficiary. Srila Prabhupada who-is-srilaprabhupada elucidates this matter thus, "Don't manufacture your ways of pleasing God. Suppose I want to please you. Then I shall ask you, "How can I serve you?" Not that I manufacture some service. That is not pleasing. Suppose I were to ask a disciple, "My dear student, please give me a glass of water." It is then his duty to give me a glass of water. If he thinks, "Prabhupada wants a glass of water, but why not give him something better? Why not a glass of hot milk?" that is not service. In his consideration, hot milk is very palatable and is better than water, yet because I have asked for water, he has to give me water, not milk. That is favorable service. If you want to please me, then you should ask me, "How can I please you?" And if you do what I order, that will please me." One's only desire should be to serve Krishna favorably, as He desires. If Krishna wants something, then we should do it. In order to know what Krishna wants, one has to hear from Him. In conditioned state one cannot directly approach Krishna but when one develops an intimate relationship with Krishna then he can serve Him favorably. Thus, one must take information of what Krishna wants through the transparent medium of the spiritual master. Acting under the guidance of the spiritual master makes the devotional service bona fide and thus, acceptable to Lord Krishna.Taking the example of Ashvatthama from Mahabharata one can easily understand the risk of unauthorized service. "When the respective warriors of both camps, namely the Kauravas and the Pandavas, were killed on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra and the dead warr! iors obt ained their deserved destinations, and when the son of Dhritarashtra fell down lamenting, his spine broken, being beaten by the club of Bhimasena, the son of Dronacharya [Ashvatthama] beheaded the five sleeping sons of Draupadi and delivered them as a prize to his master, foolishly thinking that he would be pleased. Duryodhana, however, disapproved of the heinous act, and he was not pleased in the least." It is further described in Mahabharata that Duryodhana lay lamenting in pain as there was no one to carry on the family line of the Kurus as all his own brothers were dead. Mourning over this loss, he breathed his last. Seeing his master die in grief rather than in joy, Ashvatthama too became repentant.By his over-smart actions, Ashvatthama neither pleased his master nor himself. Likewise, an unauthorized service may give temporary sense pleasure of having performed it, but the essential matter of pleasing Krishna and establishing a loving relationship with Him will be lost. Trying to serve Krishna out of our own whims and fantasies is like repeating the mistake of Ashvatthama, which not only brought about remorse to him but also great displeasure to his master. Without knowing from the Lord if we serve the Lord, then neither will we be pleased nor the Lord.Without this authorization, the service not only loses its credit of being anukulya or favorable but also becomes a cause of disturbance as stated by Srila Rupa Gosvami:sruti-smrti-puranadi-pancaratra-vidhim vinaaikantiki harer bhaktir utpatayaiva kalpate"Devotional service of the Lord that ignores the authorized Vedic literatures like the Upanishads, Puranas and Narada Pancharatra is simply an unnecessary disturbance in society."A living entity being marginal in nature must dwell either in Krishna or in Maya. There is no other option for him. A Krishna conscious action is called devotional service and a Maya conscious action is called sense gratification. In other words a living entity is either engaged in devotional service or in sense gratificatio! n. In or der to be engaged in devotional service the principle of anukulyena krishna anusilanam must be followed. If this principle is missed out then the actions are understood to be inspired by Maya and it is called sense gratification or the actions directed towards one's pleasure rather than the pleasure of Lord Krishna. Devotional service is not an object of sentiment. Rather, it is systematic procedure to transform the independent self centered living entity into a humble loving servitor of the Supreme Lord. The fundamental point in devotional service is to direct the living entity to give up independence and align his thoughts and actions with the desires of Lord Krishna. The scriptures, which are the voice of the Supreme Lord, enjoin the means and processes of pleasing Him. One has to learn from the scriptures the desire of the Lord and for that one must take shelter of bona fide spiritual master. Therefore Lord Krishna advices in the Bhagavad-gita that one should surrender to a bona fide spiritual master, inquire from him and render service unto him, so that one can be guided by the spiritual master in rendering favorable devotional service to Lord Krishna. When one serves Lord Krishna in this way, he not only attracts the attention of the Lord but also gets entry into His eternal abode:"One can understand the Supreme Personality as He is, only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of the Supreme Lord by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God."- Bhagavad-gita 18.55Visit ISKCON Bangalore About the Author International Society for Krishna Consciousness Temple, Bangalore Use and distribution of this article is subject to our Publisher Guidelines whereby the original author's information and copyright must be included.

Free will either is, or isn't. Compatibilism makes no sense. Posted: 14 Jul 2012 07:00 PM PDT I don't believe in free will. I've got good neuroscientific company, which includes Sam Harris, author of "Free Will." (See here and here for my previous blogging about the book.) Reading a New York Times review of "Free Will," I was reminded of how the have-it-both-ways notion of compatibilism doesn't make sense to me. Compatibilism claims that free will and determinism are compatible. Huh? is my reaction. Harris' also, according to the review. For quite a while now, philosophers and public intellectuals, including Harris's friend Dennett, have tried to rescue something like the common notion of free will from the jaws of science and logic by embracing a position called compatibilism. Compatibilists believe that "a person is free as long as he is free from any outer or inner compulsions," Harris writes, and they "have produced a vast literature in an effort" to salvage free will. "More than in any other area of academic philosophy, the result resembles theology," he continues, consigning it to what one assumes is, for him, the intellectual subbasement. For some reason unrelated to my non-existent free will, I've never even been able to understand how compatibilists justify their position, much less agree with it. I started to make my way through a lengthy philosophical examination of the subject, but couldn't handle the intellectual exertion of reading it all. After all, it's summertime, and thinking is easy (when I do any of it). It just seems to me that if determinism rules the brain, and there's essential zero scientific evidence to the contrary, then the only way to save a belief in free will is to redefine the term. This is what compatibilists do. They accept brain-based determinism, but somehow argue that if I can act on my fully determined motives without interference (mostly from other people, I assume), I'm free.  However, if I'm not free to choose what to do, what kind of freedom is that? To me, and Harris, free will is being able to do something different, even though the status of every neuron in the doer's brain is exactly the same as before. This, of course, requires that a mysterious "will" be something supernatural, since if "will" is an altered brain state, determinism still rules: my will is the result of some cause, which itself is the result of some other cause, and so on -- all the way back to the big bang. Since there is no evidence of a non-material entity (soul, spirit, whatever) which acts upon the physical brain, genuine free will appears to be an impossibility.  Here's an excerpt from the above-linked Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on compatibilism. Makes good sense. Of course, what else could I say? I don't believe in free will, so naturally I agreed with this: Despite the classical compatibilists' ingenuity, their analysis of could have done otherwise failed decisively. The classical compatibilists wanted to show their incompatibilist interlocutors that when one asserted that a freely willing agent had alternatives available to her—that is, when it was asserted that she could have done otherwise—that assertion could be analyzed as a conditional statement, a statement that is perspicuously compatible with determinism. But as it turned out, the analysis was refuted when it was shown that the conditional statements sometimes yielded the improper result that a person was able to do otherwise even though it was clear that at the time the person acted, she had no such alternative and therefore was not able to do otherwise in the pertinent sense (Chisholm, 1964, in Watson, ed., 1982, pp.26–7; or van Inwagen, 1983, pp.114–9). Here is such an example: Suppose that Danielle is psychologically incapable of wanting to touch a blond haired dog. Imagine that, on her sixteenth birthday, unaware of her condition, her father brings her two puppies to choose between, one being a blond haired Lab, the other a black haired Lab. He tells Danielle just to pick up whichever of the two she pleases and that he will return the other puppy to the pet store. Danielle happily, and unencumbered, does what she wants and picks up the black Lab. When Danielle picked up the black Lab, was she able to pick up the blond Lab? It seems not. Picking up the blond Lab was an alternative that was not available to her. In this respect, she could not have done otherwise. Given her psychological condition, she cannot even form a want to touch a blond Lab, hence she could not pick one up. But notice that, if she wanted to pick up the blond Lab, then she would have done so. Of course, if she wanted to pick up the blond Lab, then she would not suffer from the very psychological disorder that causes her to be unable to pick up blond haired doggies. The classical compatibilist analysis of 'could have done otherwise' fails. According to the analysis, when Danielle picked up the black Lab, she was able to pick up the blonde Lab, even though, due to her psychological condition, she was not able to do so in the relevant respect. Hence, the analysis yields the wrong result. The classical compatibilist attempt to answer the incompatibilist objection failed. Even if an unencumbered agent does what she wants, if she is determined, at least as the incompatibilist maintains, she could not have done otherwise. Since, as the objection goes, freedom of will requires freedom involving alternative possibilities, classical compatibilist freedom falls. Read More @ Source

What is Meditation? Posted: 14 Jul 2012 06:00 PM PDT by arianacosmos Article by Spiritual Healing Meditation is not a technique, but a way of life. Meditation means "a cessation of the thought process". It describes a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns. The observer (one who is doing meditation) realizes that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one.In the West, the word meditation means a concentrated state of mind in serious reflection. The Latin root of the word meditation, mederi, means "to heal." It is an effort to heal afflictions of the mind, the hurt ego, by trying to understand the cause of the problem and finding a way to solve it, that is, by knowing what counter-measures to take. To meditate thus, is to deepen a state of understanding. In the East, however, meditation does not mean thinking at all but fixing the mind in a spiritual ideal, to be one with it, or the thought-process dissolving in the consciousness of it. According to Zen, meditation does not involve any concept but is an awareness of inner silence. As per the Yoga of Patanjali, meditation is a combination of three steps: pratyahara or abstraction, or withdrawal of the mind from the sense-objects or attention to their memory; dharana or concentration; and dhyana or contemplation which, however, is not a thought-process but an absorption of the feeling of oneness with the ideal. In Bhakti Yoga, meditation is visualization of the image of a chosen deity, together with mental repetition of a relevant mantra. For the Vedantin it is to contemplate on the meaning of selected verses from the Upanishads or similar scriptures. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. "Watching your breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation.Health benefits of Meditation:• It lowers oxygen consumption.• It decreases respiratory rate.• It increases blood flow and slows the heart rate.• Increases exercise tolerance in heart patients.• Leads to a deeper l! evel of relaxation.• Good for people with high blood pressure as it brings the B.P. to normal.• Reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate.• Decreases muscle tension (any pain due to tension) and headaches.• Builds self-confidence.• It increases serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, obesity, insomnia and headaches.• Helps in chronic diseases like allergies, arthritis etc.• Reduces Pre- menstrual Syndrome.• Helps in post-operative healing.• Enhances the immune system. Research has revealed that meditation increases activity of 'natural-killer cells', which kill bacteria and cancer cells.• Also reduces activity of viruses and emotional distress.What Meditation is NOT• Meditation is NOT concentration• Meditation is NOT relaxation • Meditation is NOT a serious religious practice • Meditation is NOT a state of mind• Meditation is NOT self-hypnosis What is required to meditate?• A state of comfortable body. No desire for food or water or excretion.• A suitable time. 15-20 minutes of time, without any sense of urgency or pressing needs.• A quiet location. Meditation is usually practiced in a quiet place with as few distractions as possible. This can be particularly helpful for beginners. • A specific, comfortable posture. Depending on the type being practiced, meditation can be done while sitting, lying down, standing, walking, or in other positions. • A focus of attention. Focusing one's attention is usually a part of meditation. For example, the meditator may focus on a mantra (a specially chosen word or set of words), an object, or the sensations of the breath. • An open attitude. Having an open attitude during meditation means letting distractions come and go naturally without judging them.Meditation - Do Not:• Do not meditate immediately after eating food.

How Meditation Can Improve Your Mind And Health Posted: 14 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT by Ramon Snellink Article by Klazina Andersen Many people think that meditation has to do with certain religion, this is not true. In fact meditation is nothing to do with religion. Anyone, regardless of his or her religion, can practise meditation and enjoy the health benefits from it. Meditation can help you to improve your mind function and overall health. Meditation has been proven to reduce stress levels and it can even help with conditions such as high blood pressure. What I love about practising meditation is that it can help me to calm my mind and help me to concentrate better. This also helps a great deal in my work career as I can focus a lot better and able to see opportunities that come across my way. Another great benefit of meditation is that it makes you to be aware of good health and this allows you to make healthy choices in your lifestyle. But, What Exactly Is Meditation? Meditation is all about the mind game. It helps you to focus and clear your mind. But it takes a little time and effort to get the hang of meditation, this is because our minds are so cluttered with so many things these days. With some practice and patience, you will be able to get into the habit of meditating. Once you are able to make it part of your habit, you will be able to reap the many health benefits from it. Perhaps the next question to ask is, how to do meditation? To get started, find a quiet place where you can be comfortable. You can sit in a cross-legged position, but this isn't mandatory. You may find another sitting position that is more comfortable for you, but the key is to maintain a good posture. Do not slouch, because if you do, you will get tired easily and feel like falling asleep. Here are some techniques to help you focus and clear your mind: Focus on your breath. Start to breathe in and out slowly, and for each breath you take, focus on the air that is going through your nose. Try not to think anything that is related to your works, just focus on empty your mind and clear your though! ts. < p>As mentioned, this will take some practice. Thoughts are inevitable and they will come through your mind. When thoughts appear, focus on your breathing intensely. With some effort, you will be able to get thing going smoothly. Another technique is to keep on telling yourself and your mind to focus on the present moment. Do not think of the past or the future, think of the present moment; your present state of mind. When you are able to make meditation part of your habit, you will have a more focused mind. This can certainly help you to do your job or business better as your mind is now clear and is able to focus on the tasks at the present moment without worrying about your past or future. Effective Stress Buster Meditation is really an effective stress buster. You see, stress is caused by worrying about the past or the future. One of the best quotes I have ever come across about stress is from a very successful self development guru "Eckhart Tolle", here is what he says: "Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there." Get it? Let me repeat... "Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there." That is why meditation is so effective in managing your stress because it helps you to achieve calmness in your soul and mind. It helps you to focus on the present time instead of the past or future. The absence of stress will improve your health in many ways. You'll likely enjoy lower blood pressure and a strengthened immune system. Stress can also lead to mental disorders, so when you strive to be stress-free, you will keep anxiety and depression away as well. But of course, there is no such thing as a stress-free life these days. Stress is always present in out life, the important thing is how we manage the stress. In fact, a small amount of stress is necessary to motivate us to do better in life. Hope you like this article. Thanks for reading.

Different Teaching Styles Of Yoga Posted: 14 Jul 2012 04:00 PM PDT by drsandy38 Article by Sam Rao Yoga is very much about life style. There are those yogis who like fast-moving yoga and there are those who like the traditional slow and deliberate movements, then there are those who are in between. My view is that it is not about what style of yoga you do, but more about what it does for you and what you become over time. Yoga, for me, is all about my health and learning to help my mind to become quieter. My preference is Hatha yoga in style of Iyengar. I love the precision and building strength. As a business, to become a yoga instructor is one of the finest opportunities. It is understood that, in any community, only between half and 3 percent of the population ever practice yoga. This ancient art of self-healing is just not on everyone's radar. So the opportunity is the vast market of the rest of the population that knows, understands, and are also aware that Yoga is something that will give them good health and a quiet mind.When you begin, through yoga practice, to direct your energy into positive channels within the body, it feels like you are opening doors. A person who follows the traditions of yoga is known as a yogi. Our yoga teacher training courses aims to provide a framework for our students with which they can open and run their own Yoga classes. We provide yoga teacher courses for people who wish to make Yoga philospophy part of their life and also wish to take up Yoga teaching as a career. In the main there are two types of yoga. Raja Yoga and Hatha Yoga. From these two roots of the yoga tree, several variations have come about and appropriate names have been allocated. Usually you will find that it is the person who devised the style claims the name. Don't get attached to the names…try out whatever the style and either walk away, if you are not comfortable, or stay and learn the benefits.I often tell my students in my classes to observe. They must observe how they feel after a class. I encourage you to sit in your car, having done a yoga session, and ! take a f ew breaths and listen to the body. If you find that you feel better then what you came in to the class, then the type of yoga suits you. If however you do not feel better, then don't give up on yoga, change your teacher ! So some of the names and types of Hatha and Raja yoga: Karma yoga concentrates on giving of yourself to others without desiring any reward.Jnana yoga is a metaphysical method of opening up to impressions of the world.Bhakti yoga emphasizes bringing emotional vitality into one's spiritual practice.The raja method focuses on meditation. Raja yoga also encompasses the Hatha style of yoga, the physical technique that most people use as a type of exercise.The Kundalini style of yoga works on the idea that the human body contains eight chakras. Through controlled breathing, you can warm the body from the bottom to the top, in order to raise your latent Kundalini power which should help you attain a level of enlightenment.Power yoga is also recognized by its Sanskrit name, Vinyasa. A vinyasa is a series of swift movements intended to warm your body all over. Vinyasa yoga is a particularly active type of yoga, in which you move rapidly through your poses or asanas. Due to the speed at which you move, you do not hold these poses as long as you would in other methods. It is almost definitely guaranteed that you will produce a lot of sweat during your sessions; therefore this style is not for the inexperienced or for those who are out of shape. The benefit of this style is that it gives your body and especially your muscles a vigorous workout. My personal preference is to work with yoga that suits me. I need strong postures but not the speed of movement from one posture to the other. Iyengar style of yoga suits me very well. I also need to have a few moments of meditation and breathing. Finally I also appreciate a few moments of complete relaxation. This allows me to connect with my body and observe. About the Author Sam Rao yoga's Yoga teacher training courses are conducted in UK.
