Energy Channels

Image
Following the course of the breathe, we may begin to feel our own lines of energy, the blood coursing through our veins, activating our muscles and organs,  giving life to our bodies and subtle selves. Two main lines of energies start at the nose, as we breathe in through the nostrils,  the air passes upwards,  meets and crosses between the eyebrows, then moves back downwards towards the lungs. As we exhale we create a release, while simultaneously giving back to our surroundings. On a subtler level these lines double helix through concentrated areas of our body, and then reconnecting at the root of the spine, and then back upwards, straight up the center. The points at which the left and right energy channels cross are at our "chakras" which most people imagine are these spinning wheels, but in a traditional sense are actually crossroads where our  main channels and other smaller ones densely meet at. Imagine a ball of entangled strings or  chords of wire. This...

When Water Meets Fire

Image
Let it flow like the winds and  water,  refreshing and cooling. Met with the dynamism and  burning heat of fire. In combination,  this class of energy exists and can  be created for digestion and  processing power. When these energies are  concentrated,  they can be channeled towards  any realm in existence. We can then operate in the  material and physical layers, or go further into those exciting  energies at play. It takes more subtlety to bring  awareness to the thought space,  focus, concentration, stillness, studies,  and training. First gently meandering a single stream of consciousness,  like we were feeling through water,  balancing on a tight rope,  breathing so deeply as we seek out a target, then crunching a single concept down to its granularity,  drilling deeper, and deeper, and deeper  towards its core. Only to get lost, and then we let go. We tend to revisit and continue channe...

The Container of Earth and Water

Image
  The container of subtle earth and water has been made, and is now growing. The seed forms of pitta and vatta, can now be held and become more concentrated. How can I allow my energies to settle, permeate evenly, and then channel them towards healing and  making life better? I must move slow in physical from, and also in thought. To take time, and allow the 'space' to exist Observing these moments, to accept them, embrace them, and love them completely  "In Silence, One Rests in His True Nature" ૐ So many paradoxes ☯ as one seeks for greater congruency. The seeker is on a path to the oneness state. Overthinking, 'under' thinkers  Blanked out, spaced out, versus Meditation Reframing perhaps, is a way to observe our very nature in the best way. We are able to positively look at the times and observe the spaces when we are not 'in control' and embrace them intimately.  Looking at them as an essential time to loosen our mental grips, and let the mind rest...

Decluttering the Mind Field

Image
We must simply be. Merely allowing thought forms to arise. There is no need to judge, or create any type of situation in our minds.  In the case where these thought forms do arise,  we have the choice to entertain them or simply let them pass. This is a form of meditation,  Being an observer, allowing ourselves to identify less with our fickle and changing thought forms,  Perhaps this is what the ancient mystics meant by controlling our own thoughts. Controlling doesn't mean to suppress, or manipulate.  Rather control means to focus, channel, organize, and decide what we would like to keep and what we would like to truly let go of. Easier said than done, but I hope this is a simple and helpful guide in decluttering the 'mind fields.'  Become an observer, and give importance to those thoughts that make you truly happy and well.  Peace and Love Always!

Doing Nothing for a Moment to End Destruction

Image
" Be Here Now" "Stay Present" "The Present Moment is the Only Thing That Matters" and so many cliché variations of the same meaning. It's so easy to toss these suggestions to someone, a friend, family member, or stranger in the throws of discussion. However are we grasping the significant implications of these simple one liners? These cliché lines simply sum up the various methods and disciplined spiritual practices that allow one to enter into this space (of being here and now).  The practices take some effort, and also allows us to get in touch with the most intimate layers of our being. We are in a current state in the world where our value system is throwing our society, economies, and environment completely out of balance. The value system makes perfect logical sense: "I should go into the world be successful and have abundance." People are convinced that this is the purpose of life no matter what the means are. This culture of "MOR...

Discussion: What is Most Necessary to Live a Happy Life

These articles will have some continuation, a flow of consciousness piggy backing off the last articles ideas. There will be a few detours, random poetry, and anecdotes sprinkled within this attempt at a fluid and connected story line. Today is a day, like any other. Doing the things we think necessary. Necessary. I'd like to ponder what is truly necessary, and pose an argument regarding our personal power to create real change. So what is necessary, let's start with a list. Please add in the comment section below anything you think is necessary to have in your life to be completely happy!  Food, Water, Shelter,  Sleep, Prefer to have some clothing, I like my computer and phone, it allows me to work and stay connected Ok, so there are probably some items that will be subjective here, for an artist "I need my paints," for a tradesman, "I need my tools,” for a musician "his/her instruments" and etc. Electricity and a Power Source Toilet and Shower Cleanin...

A Poem: Thoughts Blowing in the Wind

Image
                                                                                          Picture from https://unsplash.com/photos/D0tD6n3Ao8E When everything becomes still, we can hear the winds blowing, the leaves whistling. We can feel the pulsation underneath our skin, the rhythm and sensations of the breathe.  The aches and pains of the body, our imperfections.  Somehow I believe in time, these areas will heal themselves. Yet we are only aging, our impermanence becoming more real in every moment, Tensions build within as we rough and sail the turbulent oceans of life,  In effect both mind and body become more solid, We become harder and stronger in some areas,  We lose our softness and genuin...
