It is the discovery and appreciation of our Higher Self and finding the God within us that is the ultimate goal of the journey through the chakras. Our entire body vibrates at a basic frequency of approximately 8 cycles per second, which is the same frequency as the basic electromagnetic field of the Earth.  We are literally attuned to the Earth.

The great composers have known for centuries that music has the power to heal wounds of the mind and heart, to relieve stress, lift the spirit, and ease emotional burdens. As the oft-misquoted line by William Congreve has it, "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak"

For thousands of years, indigenous cultures around the world have used sound -- chanting, drumming and singing -- to induce altered states of consciousness. Shamanic practitioners and their followers believe this process opens the door to the spirit world, where a kind of sacred transformation, or healing, can take place.

Historically, sound has been used as a point of focus and invocation in meditation, prayer, healing, and ritual throughout much of the world. As with so much that is mystical, our culture has lost touch with the nature of sound as a healing vehicle.

A Climate In "Crisis"? What crisis - what are you talking about? Don't fall for the Global Warming 'terror machine' who's main goal is to scare people into thinking climate change is man made (Global Warming is a business - a HUGE business).

Tips include: Prayer. Sit upright, relax completely, and then offer a prayer to God. If you are not comfortable with the concept of God, then ask for guidance from your own higher self.

In his famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie stated that the best way to be thought a fascinating conversationalist is to listen attentively, and with interest. This principle applies also, though of course not in quite the same way, to the practice of prayer.

How long should you meditate? The first rule is, Don't be ruled by what others do. What works well for them may not work for you. Accept that in certain ways you are unique. Here are a few general guidelines...

Esoteric lore tells us that everything has a vibration, a spiritual vibration or energy that defines its essential nature. Everything has a vibration, from our physical bodies to our every thought. Stars, planets, trees, rocks and drops of water all have their own vibration. Though this seems like a crazy idea, because we can?t literally see this vibration, modern science has proven the principle of vibration at least in part.

Sound Healing, as the name implies, is the use of sound to create balance and alignment in: the physical body, the energy centers called "chakras", and/or the etheric fields. The sound may be applied by an instrument or by the human voice. Sound Healing is a vibrational therapy and can be understand as being energy medicine.

Indigenous cultures all over the world use singing, toning (holding long notes with the voice), percussion, and instrumental music to accompany all aspects of daily life, including healing practices. In Ancient Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of both music and healing, and sound was used in a therapeutic manner  in virtually all ancient societies.

Sound has been used as a healing force for thousands of years. All ancient civilizations used sound for healing. Traditional cultures still surviving today understand the remarkable healing power that lies in sound. In the Bible we are told that David played his harp to lift King Sauls depression. Egyptian papyri over 2,600 years old refer to incantations as cures for infertility and rheumatic pain.

Some researchers claim that the Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics theories are both wrong. Watch this video and make your own mind up - and please let me know what you think is the correct theory...

It's interesting how a discussion about vaccination can quickly become heated and sometimes even hostile. Would the same debate rage over an antibiotic or an antihypertensive medicine if there was evidence the drug was causing harm? When it becomes obvious that thousands have been injured by a drug such as Vioxx, it is removed from the market. We stop the use of drugs until they are proven safe. And we sue.

by Michael Drake. The drum has been the guiding force in my life for many years. My journey into rhythm began under the tutelage of Mongolian shaman Jade Wah'oo. Jade's ancient knowledge of drumming and healing rhythms was most influential in putting together my first book, The Shamanic Drum: A Guide to Sacred Drumming. I had a deep respect for the power of the ceremonial rhythms and drum ways of Jade's tradition, but I had to follow my own path of rhythm.

The chakra system has seven major chakras in the body that function separately. Each chakra looks like a swirling cone of energy, opening up in the front and back but very narrow in the center of the body. In that narrow center point is a ring that holds the chakra in this position called a seal. Most human interactions have been based out of the lower three chakras.

Every day I give myself a bath, well that too, but this is a colorful light bath that clears and balances my chakras. I use it at the beginning of my day to protect myself and set my intentions. By Linda Foltyn

You will never be able to change the old guard with fire. In actual fact you'll never be able to change them at all. They will fight to the death to defend what they believe to be true as admitting what they practice is wrong (let alone harmful) would mean admitting that they've been living a lie all of their professional and quite often personal life. This is something their ego would never allow to happen.

Chakras, auras, subtle bodies and energy healing have become common topics of discussion. What once was considered esoteric or fringe spirituality has become increasingly mainstream. In line with this more people are developing a new awareness of their own body energy some from a desire for inner growth, others from a scientific (quantum physics) perspective and still others from a renewed sense of the sacred.

Because of the change that consciousness is undergoing on the planet, Reiki has a wonderful future. Reiki is becoming more popular because of this change at the same time that it is one of the reasons the change is taking place. In fact, you could say that the spirit of Reiki is the spirit of our planet's future.

We create our own reality. This phrase is frequently repeated in the healing community, and many accept it as true.  And it is easy for us to accept that when we make plans and carry them out, that we are creating our own reality.  Or when positive things happen, it can be a boost to our self-esteem to accept credit for causing them, even when they seem like nothing more than good fortune.

When I was a child, I was fascinated by dominoes, those little black rectangular pieces of plastic with the dots on them. I will admit I was never really enthused by the actual game, but I loved to see them lined up, in curving, waving, undulating rows. They would stand so sturdily, and so straight, as if they could stand forever. Then all of a sudden, with even the tiniest tap, one by one, methodically they would all fall down.

Life energy, in the form of cerebrospinal fluid, flows within, through and around the body over three inter-related and interconnected energy systems that interface with each other. The three energy systems are, from a gross to a subtler and more refined level, the nervous, the meridian, and the chakra systems.

Today, in our advanced, modern society, people take time to perform some kind of daily physical cleansing ritual. A shower or bath, teeth brushing, shaving and hair styling are all standard forms of grooming that we make time to fit into our busy lifestyles. After all, it's good hygiene, right?  Our outward appearance is something most of us take pride in, but what about what's going on beneath the layers of the skin?

Last fall, Mary Scott Blake went to the doctor for a routine mammogram and soon got the news every woman dreads: Light blotches on the film proved to be an aggressive form of breast cancer. Blake did all the things one might expect. She arranged for surgery, cleared her calendar, and braced for a long, painful year of chemotherapy, radiation, and recovery. Then the 52-year-old homemaker in Louisville, Kentucky deviated from the norm...

Yoga means 'union' and is one of the oldest holistic approaches to mind/body health. The fundamental premise in yoga is that suffering begins in the mind and comes from a sense of separation: when you lose connection with your own values, purpose, sense of self or spiritual inspiration, dis-ease occurs. Yoga treatment addresses the re-integration of the body, mind, breath and, ultimately, the spiritual self.

When most people refer to yoga, they usually mean the physical yoga exercises, or hatha yoga. However, the physical exercises, known in Sanskrit as asanas, are only one of eight limbs of yoga. The other limbs include: Self-Control (yama), Spiritual Observance (niyama), Regulation of the Breath (pranayama), Restraint of the Senses (pratyahara), Steadying of the Mind (dharana), Meditation (dhyana) and Profound Contemplation (samadhi).

The confusion lies in the identification of yoga with the Indian culture and therefore its religious practices. India was instrumental in recording the yogic principles and to philosophies but they are far more ancient than that, and one must look beyond the Indian culture for the essence of yoga.

I went to visit my friend Ralph Miller who runs the Heart of the Initiate Ayahuasca temples in Brazil. He told me a very interesting perception he had about the nature of rising and descending emotions. Ideas that begin in the mind and drift down to the heart to become emotions are considered to be descending. They are often the result of an affirmation or a contradiction of the ego?s opinions.

Claridad is a dysfunction, an anomaly, that comes about when people on an Aya' journey say, experience the vastness of the Primal Source in all things. At first they are over awed, then they believe themselves to be the Primal Source, or at the very least the embodiment of it, or they see themselves as the Chosen One, the message bringer.

Shamanism is a healing tradition that has existed since the beginning of time. A shaman can be defined as a man or woman who can travel between alternative states of consciousness at will, travelling in spirit or mind between this world and otherworlds, in order to find healing, knowledge, wisdom, guidance and help.

"Meditation," Bousfield tells them, "is meant to key into all the other techniques you are learning. If you find a pleasant sensation you can stay with it, or likewise an unpleasant one. But you can learn to see it as just a sensation rather than something catastrophic. What you are trying to do is control your attention.
