MAHAMRITYUNJAYA MANTRA

Please help spread the practice of MahaMrtyunjaya mantra for all those effected by the TSUNAMI disaster and to preserve and protect all from more harm.

As you know, MahaMrtyunjaya is a mantra to Lord Shiva as Great Conqueror of Death, Bestower of Amrita and immortality. It is a blessing both for those who have passed and for protection and blessings for the living.

As I went looking for some text and audio files for it, so that everyone who didn't know it, could, I came across a website in which a devotee was asking that people chant this mantra whenever they have the chance, to chant for peace and to prevent death and destruction from war. He is hoping that with enough people chanting at different times, we will have a 24-hour a day, worldwide chanting of MahaMrtyunjaya mantra.

Would anyone here be willing to help spread the word of this practice, to other email groups, to websites, to temples? There is power in love. There is power in the mantra.

There is power in the Lord and Goddess, and they are not separate from us.

Here are two links about this mantra, including sanskrit text, transliteration, and translation. The first one plays a recording of the mantra being chanted, when you visit the page:

LET’S DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGE’N SEE
Swami Beyondananda's New Year Message

In this dogma-eat-dogma world where fear is fueled by terrorism -- not to mention antiterrorism -- I say it's time to declare all out peace. Those of us who've been developing inner peace all these years, time to let it all out. Time to affirm everyone's right to bear arms -- provided those arms are used for hugging. And this year, instead of commemorating an attack, let's celebrate an embrace.

Let's declare an emerge 'n see. Time to emerge from beliefs that no longer serve us and see how we humans have been tricked into behaving foolishly. Time to emerge 'n see beyond the dueling dualities to find solutions bigger than the problem. Time to emerge n' see there's no escape. God has us usLittle African boy sticking his tongue out and grinning surrounded. Might as well surrender. We are all part of the inescapable Oneness.

One Spirit, many paths. One Planet, great diversity. One humanity, each of us totally unique ... just like everyone else.

I have often said that if we keep doing what we've always done, we will only get what we've always gotten. It stands to reason that if we try doing something new, we increase our chances of getting different results. So while it makes no sense to take up arms against warfare, it makes all the sense in the world to lift up arms and embrace anything that nourishes peace.

Now in this shrinking world that could definitely use a good shrink, it is understandable to look upward in hopes of the Messiah. But I say, we need to look at each other instead, and face the truth that we are looking the Messiah in the face. We have met the Savior and he is us! Here are all these children of God praying for Jesus to intervene, but we cannot expect to be fed intravenously forever. Time for children of God to grow up, for Goodness sake, and become adults of God instead.

I have a dream, so allow me to tell a vision. Each year at Passover, the Jewish people affirm the possibility of the Messiah: "Next year in Jerusalem." Next year always comes, and the Messiah never seems to come with it. Maybe it's time to make a break with the past and actually act as if the Messiah is already here. You know, fake it till you make it.

Hold this vision with me please: Leaders of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim Thailand Girls grinning at usfaiths together in celebration -- doing the Hokey Pokey. They put their whole selves in ... that is commitment. They pull their whole selves out ... that is detachment. They turn themselves around ... that is transformation. And that's what it's all about!

Now this may seem implausible to you, ridiculous even. But I tell you what. It beats the heaven out of what we've been doing.

AGELESS PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS
(With Proven Techniques for practical applications)
Song Chengxiang support@theultimatesecrets.com
Copyright 2004

The Principle of NOW:
Dear friend, have you ever wondered what time is? Once you truly understand the real meaning of time, you will never experience worry, anxiety and unhappiness again. Actually time is just an illusion. " No matter how persistent the illusion of time is, the illusion of past, present, and future is still an illusion."
-------Einstein

Scientific study of quantum physics has already proved that the only moment that exists is NOW! There is no past, no future, there is only one moment, and that is the moment of NOW! The past and future is only the perception that exists in the human mind. What you think in the past or in the future is just an illusion in your mind. Now is the only time that exists. The illusion of time makes us think that the moments of past, present and future separate from each other. In reality, they are all happening now. Everything happens NOW!.

If you are not convinced by the concept of NOW, then try to do something yesterday or tomorrow right now. It is impossible. Think about it, when do you remember your past? You remember it now. When do you dream your future, you dream it now. There is not any means that you can experience the past or the future, because they don't really exist, they are only a mental concept. When you think you are in your past or in your future, you are actually still in the moment of now. There is no separation of time, everything happens now! If you truly live in the present moment of now, you will not have any problem at all.

All the so called problems happen in your imaginary future. You experience them in your mind. If you fully concentrate on the present moment, and handle what you are supposed to handle at the moment, you will never experience any problem. A wise seer says " I don't worry about the past, and I am not fearful of the future because my life is supremely concentrated in the present, and the right response comes to me, to every situation as it occurs."

This is the timeless awareness. In timeless awareness, you don't experience fear, anxiety and worry. You are in flow. You are one with the source energy. One way to experience the timeless awareness is to choose to live in the present now. Watch your mind, observe it. Your mind will always trie to escape the present moment, because the only reference point it has is the past. You can simply observe it, the moment you realize your mind is escaping the present moment, you are actually in the present moment.

Since NOW is the only moment that exists, the question is why do I experience what I am experiencing now, but not anything else. The answer to that question is that you have chosen it. At this magic moment of now, there are infinite number of things happening, and you are free to choose to experience any one of them. You made your choice by sending out an command to the Universal Mind ( or call it Cosmic Mind, Infinite Intelligence, Source Energy or God.). Depending on your certainty and clarity, the Universal Mind brings to you exactly what you send out. At some point of this space-time continuum, you had sent out your command, the Universe took your instruction, and worked perfectly on it. That is exactly what you are experiencing now.

At the moment of now, you have infinite number of choices, you can experience any one of them by sending out your instructions. The Universe will bring to you exactly what you want depending on your certainty and clarity. It is important to know that the universe takes all your instructions, good or bad, and works equally on them. It can not choose for you. You have to make your own choice with certainty and clarity.

Once you make your choice, let the universe to handle the details. How to put this principle into practice?

(1) Consistently monitor your mind. Keep it concentrated on the present moment of now. (2) Anytime you find yourself worry about the future, remind yourself " Now is the only time that exists, the past and the future is just an illusion that exists in my mind. I choose to fully concentrate on the present moment of NOW!" (3) Practice daily meditation. Experience the timeless awareness.

P.S. I learned most of the concepts in this article from a person I admire most Dr Robert Anthony. His revolutionary audio program "KNOW HOW TO BE RICH" is really life changing to me. This six hour program will stay with me for a life time. Every time I listen, I will learn something new, and my level of awareness will automatically increase.

I highly recommend anyone who wishes to live a better life and experience massive riches to check out this program http://www.theultimatesecrets.com/cb/Robert_Anthony.htm

CONNECTING THE BREATHS : Healers say you are what you breathe
By Mary Gennrich - The Las Cruces Bulletin March 4, 2005

If you’re holding your life in a “white-knuckle death grip,” you’re going to have to learn how to breathe, according to Toni Delgado. Breathing habits set the stage for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, she says.

Delgado, along with Kelley Elkins, own A Next Step, a center for emotional healing located in Dona Ana. The two, who have a number of combined years teaching Conscious Breathing/Rebirthing techniques, have helped people throughout the southwest gain awareness of their bodies and subconscious by teaching them practical breathing exercises.

Over the course of a lifetime the thoughts, emotions and toxins inside of them can overload people. This leads to all varieties of illness and dysfunction and ultimately to body shut down, according to Delgado and Elkins.

Delgado said because of the “white-knuckle death grip” people hold over their lives, breathing often becomes shallow and tension — the cause of pain — increases. Allowing the body to relax and focus on breathing helps move toxins quickly out of the body.

At a recent workshop on Conscious Breathing at the Mastery in Life Center on the Downtown Mall, Delgado taught attendants two breathing techniques that have been taught worldwide to change the state of people’s bodies and minds.

The first, called 20 Connected Breaths, is a simple technique that people can utilize at any time of the day to set the stage for relaxation and/or self-introspection.

In 20 Connected Breaths, a person simply breaths in four, short breaths — without pausing after exhalation — and a long, deep breath that can be felt into the stomach, followed by a long exhalation. The process is repeated four times.

In times of high stress or emotional upset, Delgado said 20 Connected Breaths can be taken a step further by adding it to a Basic Thought Meditation.

According to Delgado and Elkins, the Basic Thought Mediation is a technique a person can use to experience their emotional thoughts, experience what their emotional thoughts are producing in their outer experience and experience any energy that they may be experiencing in their mind and body in conjunction with the emotional thoughts. The goal of the Basic Thought Mediation is to change the energy around emotional thoughts.

The first step of the process is writing down an issue statement in a format similar to this: “The thing I hate or dislike most about my life right now is (issue).”

Delgado said you are to state it simply and then do 20 Connected Breaths. Next comes the recitation of a neutral statement. The neutral statement — which lets a person know that it is truly okay to have the emotional thought — goes like this: “It’s OK that the thing I hate or dislike the most about my life right now is (repeat issue).”

Another 20 Connected Breaths should be done before a person completes the gratitude statement. The gratitude statement allows a person to find a reason to be grateful that their awareness has been heightened about the issue. Finding a reason to be grateful helps a person “let go” of issues, according to Delgado and Elkins.

After reciting the gratitude statement, a person should execute another 20 Connected Breaths.

Delgado said we all live with a personal lie, which is a deep-seated judgement about ourselves. Utilizing breathing techniques can help people peel away the layers to discover their personal lie, so they can change it.

A PAUSE FOR THE CAUSE
Reporter’s Notebook By Mary Gennrich - The Las Cruces Bulletin - March 4, 2005

Like many, I often stuff thoughts and emotions into my subconscious and let my brain run like a hamster on its wheel to get through busy workdays. It’s easier to operate not having to think about the stresses of every day life.

But I run into trouble when I operate in this mode for too long. Pretty soon, the built up energy executes a sneak attack on my conscious mind and the waves of stress can sometimes feel so high that I might drown in them.

Having somewhat of a “macho” idea of myself, I don’t like the idea of focusing too much on my emotions. And, the idea of meditation has honestly seemed like a waste of time as a way to provide time for focusing on “me.”

After attending the Conscious Breathing Workshop I was invited to attend a rebirthing session on a Saturday, which also held at the Mastery in Life Center. Rebirthing is the most intense component of breathing techniques and sets the stage for letting out all of the things we keep inside.

Despite my skepticism — and frankly, a little fear of the unknown — taking part in a rebirthing session was one of the most powerful things I have ever experienced. It was easy, all I had to do was breath while focusing on an intention — a thought or emotion that I have issues with.

Through the session I felt the stress of built-up emotions course through my body and leave. I came out of it with a clear mind and a happy heart.

Rebirthing is not the hip-hop, new age voodoo that some may think it is. I honestly think that the quality of my life would be greatly improved if I spent some more of my time being “reborn.”

Toni Delgado and Kelley Elkins, facilitators of the Rebirthing workshop, can be reached at their business, A Next Step, at 382-8771. You can also email them at kelley@anextstep.org or visit them on the web at http://anextstep.org.

CHOOSING VIBRATIONAL CHANGE
Reflections by Gary Walker

Choosing Courage, Truth and Beauty as a Reaction to Illness, Discomfort and Depression
From www.friendsofthecasa.com Joao de Deus There is an accelerated evolutionary process occurring everywhere on the planet, right now, which is stimulating a vast insistent spiritual awakening. A number of factors (including global atmospheric changes, the accelerated appearance of new life - threatening epidemic-type diseases and a rampant increase in the number of social and environmental crises) are stimulating an increased concern for the well being of self/others and the environment. This awakening of inner spiritual consciousness and the simultaneous concern for planetary health is rapidly gaining momentum as a transforming force.

A life of courage, truth and beauty makes us all feel fulfilled and happy. When we perceive that life is all about expanding our awareness and expressing the joy that comes from this process, a desire to celebrate that joy we experience in growing begins to burn within. When we become at peace with frustrated expectation, we begin to experience the joy of sorrow and the richness of frustration and to discover the secret of human existence.

It is at this point, a desire to participate ever more fully in the dance of life leads us to search for a way of furthering this process. We begin to shine more and more brightly. We begin to emit a vibration and glow which mingles with the energy of all those around us with ever-growing intensity. Everything in our environment begins to change.

We have always shined who we are and our shining has always emanated all around us. Knowledge and understanding in harmony with Universal truth and love radiate more and more powerfully and engulf and influence our families, friends, acquaintances and casual passers-by, as well.

In an age when the world seems lost in material concerns, sucked in to consumer conformity philosophies, it is becoming harder and harder to distinguish who we really are. AND, this is wonderful because it is making us uncomfortable and ill. Illness, discomfort and depression are gifts.

As the planet's population reaches more increased levels of global discomfort, people who feel overwhelmingly dissatisfied or ill start searching out new truth, positive direction and environmental solutions, thereby, illuminating the path to personal and planetary health.

Spiritual journeys or healing retreats to proven high-energy locations or locations where intense spiritual-based activities are fervently being practiced are extremely beneficial and necessary. Contact with rural populations, interaction with the poor, visits to natural settings, participation in primitive ritual and exploration of sacred sites are indispensable healing activities for those who suffer from isolation, depression and illnesses.

When you focus on yourself and your connection with Nature, spiritual goals and the Universe, your life fills with discovery and the flow of the life force in your body is strengthened. When the Universe outside yourself harmonizes more and more with the Universe inside you, it transforms everything you were into something you love to love. When you begin to really love yourself, you begin to burn new transforming energy and a more and more powerful transforming light begins to emanate from your being.

The Universe perceives this change in energy/light as a change of vibration. No matter how subtle your change in vibration, the Universe begins to respond and your world changes. In the Universe, likes attract.

The more light and love you vibrate, the more light and love you attract. This is the basis of what Eastern religions and philosophers call the Law of Karma.

The greatest part of our personal power is accessed on vibrational levels. Everything we experience and feel in our personal consciousness is reflected and activated on these invisible vibrational levels, which surround our physical bodies. Our vibrational connection to the Universe is direct and any imbalance at these levels is the root cause of all "dis-ease".

We must re-encounter our memory of all this in order to tap back into and begin working towards personal and planetary transformation with this knowledge.

By re-integrating with Nature on spiritual retreats, purposefully designing our lives to be filled with research and adventure, visiting sacred places, experimenting sacred dances, practicing sacred exercises and discovering their relevance in our lives today, we enter deeply into our being and begin to vibrate and liberate more and more of who we really are. This increased knowing of who we are has a harmonizing effect on our being and releases trapped energy/light that has been frustrated and locked within. We have all felt the release of telling the truth after living a lie. This is the same principle. The sacred light of the Universe (of which we are made and have full access) is the life force of perfect health. As we learn to live real truth and want real happiness, we glow more and more intensely with this sacred light of love and come closer and closer to living our own personal courage, truth and happiness and help others do the same.

Visiting John of God can be an important step on a person's path to wellness and light. Visiting the powerful energy accumulated and protected in Abadiânia, Brazil, at the Casa of Dom Inácio is immersing oneself into the healing vibrational light of the Universe in concentrated doses.

The Entities working through John of God are powerful and loving and work out of the usually context of Western medical practices. This creates a CLASH of cultural standards shaking the observer or the person being operated on out of the boundaries of what he or she considered "real" or "possible" before. The whole experience creates a dissonance, which sequesters the attention of the observer, creates rifts in previously owned truths and splits individuals open to the possibilities of spiritual expansion and vibrational change.

No one who attends the healing sessions of John of God in Abadiânia, Brazil, and SEES/experiences the work of the Entities, comes away unchanged.

If you receive the gift of illness, the present of discomfort or the prize of depression, one of the best options for making profound vibrational change today is a journey to John of God in Abadiânia, Brazil. Surrender to the work of the Entities and the Casa of Dom Inácio is truly the most tangible of doorways to spiritual growth and vibrational expansion available on the planet today.

The decision to make this journey, the journey itself and the experience of visiting the vibrational healing sessions of John of God at the Casa of Dom Inácio in Abadiânia, Brazil, are the three keys that have so thoroughly unlocked a future of health, love and harmony for so many who have journeyed before you.

No matter what you do as a reaction to illness, discomfort and depression, react! Chose to live a life of courage, truth and beauty. And, be happy.

URBAN LEGENDS

A few weeks ago, we sent out an email about the possible banning of supplements. It was not correct information and it seems this particular info caused quite a stir on several continents. So, we are again sending out another email Kelley sent to some more folks...more food for thought and possible action we can all individually be taking.

“Yes ...apparently the ol' urban legends get out on occasion and crawl all over the internet... So grab this up and put into your "favorites" file: www.snopes.com This address takes a person to "urban legends" allowing the decision of where the subject is located and what is known about it. Now, the big question is this: are we being hoaxed about the info or the legend? Which is true? Frankly, I do not know. I do know though, that given a shove into the light, congress will go with who pays the bills...not the public. So, maybe a word to the wise:

1) Get Well.

2) Stock Up on herbs and tincture components that feel like they work for you. And don't sell them.

3) Be Releasing paranoia and the need to fight.

4) Be In Gratitude and Having Fun.

5) Remember, they want us to be afraid, angry and worried. As long as we do not go there, then we haven't any concern. We Are, after all, Loved. This is the foremost thought at all times.”

In TSL, Kelley

PROSPERITY
Article by Prosperity Ezine

There is an art and a science to prosperity. The art is playing with the magic of prosperity. The science is aligning with the physics of prosperity.

Play at Life!
Why does the money run out? Why doesn't passion stay around? Why doesn’t health last?

Perhaps because we’re not playing. Instead, we’re analyzing and strategizing. By not being innocent, open, willing, spontaneous and flexible, we kill the magic of natural prosperity.

Results are important in life. And life works out best when played like a kid’s game—in the spirit of a fun adventure between two best friends. When approached lightly—not as a deadly serious contest—life actually responds more readily to our wishes. In fact, the happiest outcomes occur when we play along with the fluctuations of life instead of fighting them. Humor and laughter activate energy flow, which, in turn, generates abundance.

Ride the Pulse of Prosperity
Just like the body’s circulatory system, prosperity has a pulse, a rhythm. When we’re willing to go along with the pace and pattern of life’s changes, we prosper. When we tighten up, hold back, or try to control or micro-manage life’s vacillations, we cut ourselves off from life’s natural bounty. The magic dies.

Align with Attraction
Do you feel stuck? Are you struggling to make life work? Tired of your own soap opera reruns?

Get your life aligned with the Law of Attraction! Scientists agree with spiritual teachers. Prosperity is simply the natural physics of the universe. Science calls it the Law of Quantum Physics. Metaphysics calls it the Law of Spiritual Attraction. Like energy attracts like energy. Like vibration attracts like vibration. Like qualities attract like qualities. This is Instant Karma in all its beauty and fierce justice.

Scientifically speaking, all physical matter in life is pulsating electromagnetic energy that undulates in a wave motion—and thus, naturally connects with those aspects of life that are on that same wavelength.

An Inside Job
So how do you put cash in your pocket, romance in your bedroom, and vitality in your body?

The Latin root of “prosperity” means “to make happy, favorable, successful, fortunate, thriving. Prosperity is not an outer circumstance or state. Prosperity is an inner feeling or space—an experience of oneself as joyful and flourishing. Outer events are the reflections of how you have been flowing from your Source Energy. This is what a good creator does—flow energy.

You can attract prosperity with your personal magnetism. As you focus your attention on your dream, the Law of Attraction brings your desires to you automatically.

True prosperity is having what you choose to have as you choose to have it.

Here are a few effective, pragmatic ways to tap into the River of Plenty.

Master the Law of Giving and Receiving
When you give freely of your gifts and talents, you receive back in kind. The key to success here is how you give, not what you give. When you come from a place of bountiful giving, you receive plentifulness in return. When you give from a place of lack or limitation (for example, expecting something in return as a pay-off), you receive back the same vibration or quality—a reflection of lack and limitation. When you give from a space or energy of fear (scarcity consciousness), the universe mirrors that poverty back to you.

Align Your Personality with Your Soul
Align your personality’s actions and attitudes with your soul purpose and passion—and your life will unfold in a profoundly easy, delightful and bountiful way.

Walk with an Appreciative Heart
What you appreciate in life appreciates—increases, grows. The more aspects of life you appreciate, the richer you become inwardly—and, in turn, outwardly, according to the Law of Attraction.

Prosperity Begets Prosperity
Prosperity is a living, organic state of being. Prosperity defies the laws of economics in that it’s not a commodity that we have less of when we give some away. Prosperity grows greater for the giver as it’s given. The more you share, the more you end up receiving. Give and you shall attract. Nature does abhor a vacuum!

Draw from Your Prosperity Consciousness Bank Account Vibrations of good times can be stored up for retrieval during challenging times. Prosperous times can remind you emotionally and physically of how the vibration of happiness feels—and shift you palpably into those good vibes in the present. Experientially re-living peak moments from the past is more transforming than mentally remembering an event. “Positive experiencing” is even more powerful than “positive thinking.” Make Room for Miracles

Create the attitude and conditions that make miracles more likely to occur. Fear less and dare more. Invite surprise. Welcome serendipity. Be open to unexpected sources of income, resources and support—especially those that don’t “make sense” to the intellect with its limited range of possibilities.

And stay open to invisible assistance from your spirit friends—be they angels, Ascended Masters or spirit guides.

Ask "Why not?"
Take the road less traveled. Be different, creative, fluid, experimental. See fresh possibilities, better combinations, and new opportunities and challenges where others see problems or limitations. Exude excitement and enthusiasm about daily life. The electromagnetic energy of this exuberant, open attitude will attract magic, meaning and money into your world.

Quit Energizing the Past
The past only exists to the degree we unconsciously drag it into the present. Take charge of how yesterday affects your today. Regard the past as an eternal stream of "practice takes" that allow you to "get it right" in this moment! And energize only the elements of the past that feed the plentiful reality you are creating now.

Forgive … then Forgive Some More!
By learning to forgive ourselves and others, we give ourselves the gift of freedom from the past. Forgiveness loosens the debilitating constraints of anger, resentment, cynicism, regret and despair—and releases our hearts to swell with aliveness and compassion. Give yourself and others Blanket Forgiveness—now!

Take Charge of the Present Moment
"Now" is the only time you can control. All success and bounty flows from the power of the vibration you are in each moment. By learning to be present in the current moment—in the “current” of the moment—you naturally receive the treasures that it carries.

Feng-shui Your Life! Give yourself a "Spacelift.” By intuitively re-arranging the elements of your daily life, you can create the quality of time and space that will increase your ability to receive abundance. Clear your path of illusions and lies so that your creating attention flows solely to your dreams, not to the distractions and myths of life.

Tap the Power of Surrender
Worry serves as a signal that we must tend to some aspect of life. But when we have done all that we do for the moment, it's time to let go of anxiety and surrender to Universal Support. When intense emotions arise—whether delight or grief, excitement or fear—abandon yourself to them. Don't hold on! Relax that death grip on your feelings—and, in doing so, on the inflow of life’s aliveness and bounty!

Feel Extravagantly
Feel the pain as well as the joy. Shake with fear. Let the anger rise up and roar! If you're not truly feeling, you're not truly alive—you're just going through the paces. You’re only having a NLE—Near-Life Experience.

You can’t have money, love and health without feeling your emotions. Primal Life Force is the energy that animates all of life’s rewards. That same exact energy comprises the essence of all emotion. The core natures of prosperity and emotion are one and the same: Source Energy. Make friends with your feelings and you open the floodgate to easy, natural abundance in your life!

FENG SHUI FOR THE BEDROOM
by Kartar Diamond

While each bedroom is truly unique, and can be analyzed based on more specific criteria, there are some general tips which can help most people, most of the time. The premise of feng shui, is to create balance and positive energy, and to cater to the function of the room when possible. In other words, what may be appropriate for a bedroom is not necessarily appropriate for other rooms.

1. Avoid sleeping under large, heavy exposed beams. They can cause downward pressure and a chaotic flow of energy in the bedroom, eventually undermining health and triggering specific problems associated with body areas that are directly under the beam.

2.Avoid placing a bed in direct alignment with the entrance to the room. This means, DIRECT alignment, as if your entire body could be taken out of the room feet first, without bending the body. This direct alignment can also cause health problems over time.

3. Avoid having large mirrors, like mirrored closet doors, in the bedroom. Although they are extremely popular and common, a large mirror in a bedroom can bounce the energy around a room--to the extent that people can have their sound sleep interrupted.

4.Avoid sleeping with your head very close to a low window. This is simply draining. We lose most of our body heat from the head and feet.

5.Avoid having a TV or computer in a bedroom. Some people have few options for where to place these items, but they emit an electrical field which is not good to sleep close to.

6.Avoid a sloped ceiling. Once again, they can bounce the energy around the room and are not considered as stable as flat ceilings. The bedroom is for sleeping and re-charging yourself, not for adding more to your stress.

7.Close the bathroom door if the toilet is aligned directly with the bed. Feng Shui masters have been tracking the effects of sleeping too close to toilets for many decades now. It is not "ancient" feng shui since modern plumbing did not exist until relatively recently. Yet, documentation has shown that people are healthier if they sleep further away from the bathroom.

8.Unless you know specifically what your bedroom needs in the way of colors, then just stick to safe colors such as the lightest pastels or white. Every bedroom is truly unique and bold colors will emulate the elements. As an example, if you paint your bedroom walls Hunter Green, that resonates some of the Wood element. If you paint the walls blue, that vibrates some of the water element. There is nothing inherently good or bad about any color, but color will effect occupants differently depending on the "chi" in the room. As an example in extremes: lots of red color in the right place could enhance income and enhance fertility, but red color in a bedroom that should NOT have it, could only cause sickness, accidents or arguments.

9. No heavy lighting fixtures overhead or near the headboard of the bed. This is just plain dangerous and it also creates an oppressive feeling to have anything heavy looming near your head (even if you are asleep.)

10. Try to sleep in one of your best personal directions, based on your birth year. For instance, a woman born in 1951 sleeps best with her head to the westerly directions, such as west, northwest or southwest. Whereas a man born in 1951 sleeps better in the 'easterly' directions, which are east, southeast, north and south.

To find out what your best sleeping directions are, plus a lot more, you can get Kartar Diamond's informative feng shui book at www.FengShuiForSkeptics.com You can also email Kartar with your birth date for a quick answer.

JAPA FOR WORLD PEACE (japa--repetition of a mantra)
4 APRIL 1982 (excerpt from a long speech)

Shastriji, speaking in Baba's presence, then saying what Babaji told him to say:

Babaji has come to change the world - not by fighting or with weapons and armaments. He transforms by changing the hearts of people through a simple method - repetition of God's Holy Name. The vibrations of the Name will change the world. There will be universal understanding - one nation, one family. This is Babaji's intent and it will soon come about.

Great armaments have been made, which can destroy humanity and most of the earth. But there is a greater protection sitting before us and He has given a means of protection more powerful than the atomic bomb. Those that want to kill will be destroyed. You must concentrate on the name of God and the instructions that Babaji has given you. Repeat OM NAMAHA SHIVAYA and you will receive Babaji's Blessings.

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by Young Toni Delgado

What will we be able to teach our children and our grandchildren when we learn to conquer old age and the unconscious death urge? What will be the focus in our lives when death…the inevitability of death no longer sucks us dry with fear? What will the earth be like when our awareness raises us to a new level of understanding and our bodies respond in kind?

We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a frightful place because we believe it is the end of our productivity as a being. We believe it is the experience that precedes death and we are loathesome to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly. It can happen in your thirties or younger.

What is important to know is that it absolutely can be overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and feels right. You must however, have the tools and psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book and learn how.br>
Order your book today online at barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com or borders.com or iuniverse.com Ordering from iuniverse.com supports us more. Thanks! Folks in Las Cruces, NM can buy a copy at Hastings.
