"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and

prevention of disease." — Thomas Edison

"In" the World -- Not "of" the WorldThe Realized Yogi lives like a lotus flower. The lotus is both "in" the world, yet not "of"

the world. It grows in the soil and water of the world, yet rises above it at the same time. It goes outward (Adhyasa), but is not blinded by Avidya or Ignorance of its true nature.

(Avidya-Adhyasa)

Organic Ghee from grass fed cows Ghee has anti-viral properties Ghee contains 65% saturated fat, of which 89% is comprised of short

chain fatty acids, such as butyric acid. Ghee strengthen cell membranes, support hormone production, and

have antimicrobial properties that support digestive health and immune function.

Ghee helpsing to reduce inflamatory mediators that contribute to inflammatory disorders from cardiovascular disease to arthritis.

Ghee also contains ample amounts of anti-oxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin E and carotenoids that protect against oxidation – particularly of lipids such as cholesterol and cell membranes throughout the body (ie in blood vessels, etc).

In India, ghee is used not only as a highly nutritious food, but as a medicinal panacea. It is believed to enhance agni (digestive fire), thus promoting strong digestion and absorption of nutrients – the foundation of good health.

It also lubricates the digestive tract and softens the bowel, helping to promote healthy elimination and reduce bloating.

It is cooling and soothing to the tissue and can help to heal inflamed gastric mucosa and ulcerations.

Organic Ghee from grass fed cows It also neutralizes and detoxifies poisons, and helps to break down

ama (the toxic build up left over from incomplete digestion) so that it can be eliminated. 

In the whole body, it is said to nourish and strengthen the tissues – especially nerves, and connective tissue, and enhance life force.

Its high absorption rate through the intestinal wall makes it a superb carrier of medicinal herbs and spices, which it is thought to drive deep into the body.

Simple carbohydrates or simple sugars – These carbs are broken down and digested very quickly, but most

simple carbs contain refined sugars and very few essential vitamins and minerals.

Examples: table sugar, fruit juice, milk, yogurt, honey, molasses, maple syrup and brown sugar.

Complex carbohydrates – The complex carbs take longer to digest and are packed with

fiber, vitamins and minerals. Examples vegetables, whole grain breads, oatmeal, legumes,

Surya Namaskara A good example of Asanas can be seen in the practice

of Surya Namaskara (Salute to the sun). It only involves forward and backward bending but the practice can also include additional elements such as breath synchronisation, mantra repetition, Chakra concentration.

This takes the simpler version to a more absorbing sophisticated version.

The following pages describe the full practice which is essentially a classical method of preparation, for advanced Yogas such as Kundalini Yoga and Kriya Yoga.

Rythmic Breathing/Pranayama Normally we only use about 10 – 15% of our lung capacity while

breathing. In Pranayama we utilize almost 96% of our lung capacity. This comes from the slow breathing. In nature we see a relationship

between the rate of breathing and the life span. The fewer breaths per minute an animal takes, the longer life span tends to be. For instance:

Dogs: 50 – 80 breaths per minute: Live: 11 years Horses: 30 breaths per minute: Live: 30 years Elephants: 15 – 20 breaths per minute: Live: 100 years Man: 12 – 15 breaths per minute: Live: 160 years(This is ideally) Turtle: 5 – 10 breaths per minute: Live: 500 years Snake: 3 breaths per minute: Live 1000 years

Normally we breathe about 15 breaths per minute. During pranayama this slows down to about 3 per minute.

Why Meditate? Meditation is a way of settling in oneself, at the innermost core of your

being. Once you have found the center of your existence, you will have found both your roots and your wings.

The roots are in existence, making you a more integrated human being, an individual. And the wings are in the fragrance that is released by being in contact with existence. The fragrance consists of freedom, love, compassion, authenticity, sincerity, a sense of humor, and a tremendous feeling of blissfulness.

The roots make you an individual, and the wings give you the freedom to love, to be creative, to share unconditionally the joy that you have found. The roots and wings come together. They are two sides of one experience, and that experience is finding the center of your being.

We are continuously moving on the circumference, always somewhere else far away from our own being, always directed towards others. When all this is dropped, when all objects are dropped, when you close your eyes to all that is not you –even your mind, your heartbeats are left far behind – only a silence remains.

In this silence you will settle slowly into the center of your being, and then the roots will grow on their own accord, and the wings too. You need not worry about them. You cannot do anything about them. They come on their own.

You simply fulfill one condition: that is, to be at home – and the whole existence becomes a bliss to you, a benediction.

Why Meditate? The inner revolution brings freedom and the only way to make oneself go

through the inner revolution is meditation. Meditation simply means learning to forget all that you have learned. It is a process of de-conditioning, a process of de-hypnosis.

The society has burdened everybody with thousands of thoughts. Meditation simply helps you to come out of that world of thoughts, into a state of silence. It is a process of cleaning your slate completely, it is emptying all that has been forced and stuffed inside you.

Once you are empty, spacious, silent, clean, the revolution has happened, the sun has risen; then you live in its light! And to live in the light of your inner sun is to live rightly. In fact that is the only way to live. Others are only dying, just dying slowly, moving in a queue that goes on becoming shorter and shorter every moment, and any moment you may be the first in the queue. In fact everybody is trying to be first in the queue; a great desire to be the first everywhere.

The ordinary life is only called life – it is not. It is only so-called life. It is a process of gradual death or to be more accurate, a process of gradual suicide.

The moment you become silent and aware and clear and your inner sky is full of delight, you know the first taste of true life. One can call it god, one can call it enlightenment, one can call it liberation; the experience of truth, love, freedom, bliss – different names but the phenomenon is the same

Misconceptions about MeditationOnly for people who are on a spiritual search. The benefits of meditation are manifold. Chief among them are the ability to relax and to be aware without effort. Useful

tools for just about everyone!

A practice to gain “peace of mind.” Peace of mind is a contradiction in terms. By its very nature the mind is a chronic commentator. What you can discover

through meditation is the knack of finding the distance between yourself and the commentary, so that the mind, with its constant circus of thoughts and emotions, no longer intrudes on your inherent state of silence.

A mental discipline or effort to control or “tame” the mind, to become more mindful.

Meditation is neither a mental effort nor an attempt to control the mind. Effort and control involve tension, and tension is antithetical to the state of meditation. Besides, there is no need to control the mind, only to understand it and how it works. The meditator does not need to tame his mind, to become more mindful, but to grow more in consciousness.

Focusing, concentrating or contemplating. Focusing, like concentrating is a narrowing of awareness. You concentrate on one object to the exclusion of everything

else. By contrast, meditation is all-inclusive, your consciousness is expanded. The contemplator is focused on an object – perhaps a religious object, a photograph or on an inspiring aphorism. The meditator is simply aware, but not of anything in particular.

A new experience. Not necessarily – sportsmen know this space, which they refer to as “the zone.” Artists know it – through singing,

painting, playing music. We can know it through gardening, playing with the kids, walking on the beach or making love. Even as children we may have had experiences of it. Meditation is a natural state and one that you have almost certainly tasted, although perhaps without knowing the name of the flavor

Sleep vs Meditation/Awareness (Yog Nidra/Dhyan)

What is Mediation Misconceptions of Meditation Why should you come out of meditation (SSY): Physiological Changes: Deep Impressions/Stress create chemical deposits which are not

being able to flush out during sleep. Only very deep rest helps. All Chronic ailments are result of accumulation of these blockage of chemical deposits where some parts of the system are damaged.

You being a “Some-body” restrict the Pranic flow. As you move to A-Karma, to your Infinite nature, Prana becomes Abundant. Like a brush, this HIGH Prana, cleans out these deep deposits.

PH Balance, Meditation and DiseaseDo you remember back in chemistry class the PH scale? It goes from 0-14, 0-7 = acidic, 7 = neutral, and 7-14 = alkaline. Did you know that all people with disease, from diabetes to cancer (especially cancer), have an acidic PH? Researchers have proven that meditation alone, without any changes

in exercise or diet, can raise the PH to healthier levels.

Meditation's positive effect on just a few of your body's

chemicals GABA Are you aware that people who regularly meditate have

considerably increased levels of the neurotransmitters GABA? What is GABA and what makes it so good?

GABA (gamma- amino-butyric-acid) is one of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and is best known for stabilizing mood disorders. Anxiety, tension, insomnia, and epilepsy are believed to be due to the failure to produce adequate levels of GABA.

In a study at Yale, people with panic disorder were found to have 22% less GABA than people without panic disorder. Addicts, including those addicted to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, caffeine, food, gambling, and even shopping, all have one thing in common; not enough of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. GABA is very important.

DHEAAre you aware that people who regularly practice

meditation have dramatically boosted levels of the hormone DHEA? What is DHEA and what makes it so good?

We now know that low levels of DHEA (De-hydro-epi-androsterone) are strongly associated with heart attack risk, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and chronic fatigue. It enhances memory, alleviates depression, and causes a remarkable improvement in a person's sense of psychological and physical well-being.

Lastly, we know that it so strongly supports the immune system that many scientists have become convinced that a deficiency of this very hormone factors extensively in the immune system's collapse during old age.

It improves sleep, and seems to decreases stress, and increase the sex drive in some people. Do you think DHEA is important?

MelatoninDid you know that those who consistently

practice meditation have dramatically boosted levels of the hormone Melatonin? What is Melatonin and what makes it so beneficial?

Melatonin is a hormone manufactured in the brain by the pineal gland, from the amino acid tryptophan. Levels of melatonin in the blood peak before bedtime and its function is to create restful sleep.

Stress significantly lowers melatonin levels. Research has also revealed that it is a powerful antioxidant. Do you sleep like a baby every night? Now you can.

SerotoninAre you aware that those who regularly

meditate have significantly increased levels of the hormone Serotonin? What is Serotonin and why is it so good?

Serotonin is a main neurotransmitter and neuropeptide that influences mood and behavior in many ways. Depleted serotonin levels are linked to depression, obesity, insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, migraine headaches, premenstrual syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

It is used in treating anxiety and depression related disorders, drugs like Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft boost serotonin. Do you think Serotonin is important?

EndorphinsDid you know that those who consistently

practice meditation have considerably higher levels of Endorphins? What are Endorphins and what makes them so beneficial?

Endorphins are a category of neurotransmitters created by the body and used internally as a pain killer. This categories of compounds gives an all-encompassing sense of happiness. They are thought to reduce blood pressure and have been linked in the fight against cancer.

Endorphins are most well known to those who exercise, producing what is known as 'runner's high'. To sum, Endorphins are extremely beneficial plus they make you feel really good.

HGH Did you know that those who regularly practice

deep meditation have dramatically boosted levels of Growth Hormone (HGH)? What is HGH and what makes it so good?

Your body naturally produces growth hormone - it stimulated growth throughout your childhood and sustains your tissues and organs all the way through your life. Starting in your 40s, your pituitary gland, the pea-sized structure at the base of your brain where growth hormone is produced, gradually decreases the amount of HGH it creates.

The body's diminishing supply of HGH causes the frailty that comes with aging - decreased bone density, decreased muscle mass, more body fat, weakening heart contractions, poor mood and motivation, and poor exercise capacity. You can see why so many people have been taking HGH! HGH is very important!

Cortisol Did you know that those who consistently meditate

have significantly lower levels of the hormone Cortisol? What is Cortisol and what makes it so harmful?

Higher and more prolonged levels of Cortisol, an age accelerating hormone, in the bloodstream has been found to have effects such as decreased bone density, elevated blood pressure, suppressed thyroid function, weakened cognitive performance, chronic stress, blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia, decrease in muscle tissue, lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the body, increased abdominal fat, which is related to many more health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body, heart attacks, strokes, the increase of higher levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL), which leads to other health problems. In other words, too much cortisol is very damaging.

“The Meditation technique simply and naturally allows the mind to settle down to experience a state of inner coherence and calm during which time the left and right hemispheres, and the front and back of the brain, begin to work in harmony with each other. This brain wave coherence has been correlated with improvements in memory, problem-solving and decision-making abilities. This change in brain functioning also affects the rest of the physiology, reducing high blood pressure, strengthening the heart, and overall improving health.”During the Meditation program, early (sensory) components of the brain’s response to somatosensory stimuli are more widely distributed across the cortex, indicating greater participation of the whole brain in the response to a stimulus.

The Meditation technique has been shown to be the most effective health and wellness program there is. Nothing we know of is as effective for promoting good health and reducing health-care utilization and medical expenses.”Patients with high blood pressure who learned the Meditation program showed a significant reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure after three months, in contrast to those randomly assigned to a control technique or to those who received health education on how to reduce blood pressure through diet and exercise. 

BE LESS STRESSEDReduced high blood pressure

THINK CLEARLYBroad comprehension and ability to focus

Meditation promotes stillness—and when you are still is the only time you can think, the only time you can focus. When you have distractions and noise in your mind, you can’t comprehend properly and you can’t do your job. Comprehension comes from stillness, focus comes from stillness, and TM is the practice of touching that stillness for a few minutes twice a day.”Field independence has been associated with a greater ability to assimilate and structure experience, greater organization of mind and cognitive clarity, improved memory, greater creative expression, and a stable internal frame of reference. The results show that practice of the Meditation technique develops greater field independence. This improvement in meditators is remarkable because it was previously thought that these basic perceptual abilities do not improve beyond early adulthood. 

BE MORE CREATIVEIncreased creativity

“I have never missed a meditation in 34 years. I meditate once in the morning and once in the afternoon for about 20 minutes each time. Then I go about the business of my day. I find the joy of the ‘doing’ increases. Creativity increases. Intuition increases. The pleasure of life grows. And negativity recedes.”This study used the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking to measure figural and verbal creativity in a control group and in a group that subsequently learned the Meditation technique. On the post-test 5 months later, the Meditation group scored significantly higher on figural originality and flexibility and on verbal fluency. 

BE CENTEREDInner calm

“I have been practicing the Meditation technique for over 30 years. It has helped me to consistently raise my performance levels. It has helped me cope with the stresses and strains of life. And I believe very strongly that the practice of TM has helped me to maintain a steady state of mind—it has given me equanimity no matter what happens.”Individuals who practiced the Meditation technique showed significantly increased skin resistance during the practice, in contrast to controls. Skin resistance is an electrophysiological measure of calmness or restfulness. 

BE ORGANIZEDImproved job performance

“I am happier and more creative now than I ever would have imagined. I just wish I had started to meditate years ago, but I never realized it was something that you can be taught! What a joy it  has been to learn TM—it’s such a beautifully easy and natural technique.”Self-actualization refers to realizing more of one’s inner potential, expressed in every area of life. A statistical meta-analysis of all available research—42 independent studies—indicated that the effect of the Meditation technique on increasing self-actualization is markedly greater than that of other forms of meditation and relaxation. This analysis statistically controlled for length of treatment and quality of research design. 

HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPSGreater appreciation of others

“Regular TM practice not only settles the mind, it softens and nourishes the heart. The result is greater appreciation of others, more harmony, kindness and love. Mothers tell me their children remind them to meditate—I think that says it all.”People practicing the Meditation Program score significantly more positively in how they rate important people in their lives, as compared to controls. 

SELF ACTUALIZATIONInner peace

“If there is really going to be peace in the world, then it has to start with the individual. A peaceful world is made up of peaceful individuals who are using their full potential. TM is a catalyst for peace. If more people practiced TM, the world would be more peaceful.”A statistical meta-analysis of 42 independent studies-indicated that the effect of the TM technique on increasing self-actualization is markedly greater than that of other forms of meditation.

Summary of Witnessing Your ThoughtsYoga meditation systematically leads us to the realization that: "I am not my thoughts! Who I am, is the Self who is Witness of the thoughts!"

The phrases Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced are being used here solely because we are all familiar with this language. There is no intent here to categorize, classify, or label people by the use of these terms. Rather, it should allow you to easily see the universal process of meditation more clearly. You might also find it useful in observing your progress. The six subcategories below are very broad, applying to virtually any system of meditation. This outline attempts to capture the entire process of meditation, from beginning to the height of enlightenment. By understanding this general process, it is much easier to learn and do the practices themselves. 

Beginning Intermediate AdvancedIn the Beginning stages of practice, you think that you are meditating, while you are actually still learning methods. This is a pleasant time of learning, as benefits start to come from practicing.

In the Intermediate stages, you have a pretty good grasp of the process of meditation. The practices already learned are being improved upon, and new practices are being integrated with them.

In the Advanced stages, you have a solid foundation in understanding the process of meditation, as well as practicing meditation. You now explore and transcend the subtler aspects of your inner world.

1. Foundation, Lifestyle,Meditation in Action

3. Stabilizing and Refiningyour Practices

5. Exploring and Purifyingthe Unconscious Mind

Successfully practicing meditation requires having a well balanced lifestyle and a basic degree of self awareness, as can be cultivated in daily life. In this foundation stage, you cultivate practices and attitudes such as non-harming, lovingness, compassion, and acceptance. Primitive urges for food, sleep, sex, and self-preservation are seen and wisely regulated. Balanced lifestyle and meditation in action brings stability of mind.

During this important phase, determination is developed to stay with the practices, gently learning and growing. It is a time for gaining proficiency in the methods already learned. New methods or alterations of existing methods are learned and integrated into the practices. You are beginning to get a feel for the nature of the whole process of meditation, and how to integrate other practices such as contemplation, prayer, and mantra.

Now you are ready to explore the normally unexamined inner world. The deep unconscious that might have previously been avoided is now invited to come forward for introspection. Principles such as the four functions of mind (manas, chitta, ahamkara, and buddhi) are seen quite clearly. The inner process speeds up as more and more of the deep impressions driving karma are seen, examined, and weakened in the depths of meditation.

2. Establishing thePractice of Meditation

4. Training and Calmingthe Conscious Mind

6. Going Through andBeyond the Mind

Building upon that solid foundation, you can more easily learn the actual practices of meditation, while these first two stages are somewhat done together. You establish a regular time and place for meditation each day, develop your sitting posture, and learn to work with and train the senses, body, breath, and mind. Individual techniques are learned and repeated over and over, coordinating them systematically.

Here, you can easily calm the conscious mind. The days of the "noisy" mind are behind you. You can easily regulate your breath, balance the energies, and find peace of mind. The process of meditation is clear, as you spend your time practicing rather than learning methods. Many people stop here, as if this calmness is the goal of meditation. Actually, it is the prerequisite for true meditation leading to subtler direct experience.

After accepting the unconscious material, you leave behind memories, pictures, and words. You examine and explore the inner instruments themselves, such as the subtle energies and elements, which are the very building blocks of ourselves as individuals. Gradually, you move past even these, traveling into and through even the subtlest channel of light and sound, to the absolute reality of who you really are as pure being or consciousness.

Dr Masaru Emoto – Power of Word/PrayerMasaro Emoto, showed that water crystals would radically change their physical make up into perfectly formed star crystals after thoughts of love and beauty were projected into them, whereas when thoughts of hate and anger were projected the whole atomic structure of the water would collapse.

Dr Masaru Emoto – Power of WordMicrobes are just like us,

they work hard if they are praised and become idle if they are abused.

It seems that by saying “Thank you” and “You fool”, the microbes have grouped into beneficial bacteria and disadvantageous bacteria.

“Thank you” to the jar right and “You fool” to jar left.

Dr Masaru Emoto – Power of Word/Prayer“Experiment on Sunflowers with Words”

I grew sunflowers with “Thank you” and “You fool” water

We were also shocked to see the roots. There was such a difference between them, definitely. To be frank, it was shocking. I was wondering if this had been a case of ‘raising children’, what would have happened……I was scared.

The root after saying “Thank You.”   |   The root after saying “You Fool.”

We checked the cross section of the stems through a microscope. Then we found that the inside fibers of the “Thank you” stem were tightly filled with fine lumps (the fibers were packed tightly) and the “You fool” stem had big deformed lumps (there were spaces between the fibers).
