How to Open up the Heart Chakra

The heart is considered a yin organ in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It correlates with the color green in yogic understanding. The heart has more neurons than the brain. This tells us a lot about this organ, since the allopathic belief is that it only pumps blood throughout the body. This is of course, completely false. The heart does a lot more than pump blood! It is the center point for our emotions and feelings! ;)… Continue

Confusion is Mostly Impatience

Confused about which path to take in the myriad of raw options? Confusion is mostly impatience. Allow yourself to remember that your Body will let you know what you need at the perfect pace - your pace - for integrating the massive cellular shift you are creating by embracing the truth of health.

I am also wondering is perhaps this is normal for we humans and just maybe it is uncomfortable because everywhere we look we are bombarded by ad… Continue

How to "Fall Still" forever. Meditation completely, always.

How will the mind stay quiet? By the inquiry "Who am I?" The thought "Who am I?" will destroy all other thoughts, and, like the stick used for burning the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then there will arise Self- realisation. What is the means for constantly holding on to the thought, 'Who am i?' When other thoughts arise, one should not pursue them, but should enquire: "To whom did they arise?" It does not matter how many thoughts arise. As… Continue
