Steven Handel presents The Notion Of No Self | The Emotion Machine posted at The Emotion Machine.

“The concept of a self is central to Buddhist thought; we are told meditative practices are intended to expand one’s self-awareness and to ultimately lead to a letting go of the self as to distinguish one’s suffering (or all that dissatisfactions that come from being conscious, experiencing beings). The Buddha never made a claim whether there is or is not a self. He merely brought up the notion of no self. He attributed any ontological theorizing to the existence of the self as just another way to bind one’s self to suffering.”

Olga presents The metaphysical properties of green amethyst posted at Green Amethyst Info & Properties.

“I always advocate not to buy jewelery only due to the visual attraction and material value. Almost all semi precious or precious stones possess some kind of soothing spiritual vibration, and thus, for instance, if you want to buy some green amethyst jewelry, you should first familiarize yourself with the beneficial metaphysical influences of prasiolite.”

Aparna presents Kapalabhati Pranayam posted at Beauty & Personality Grooming, saying,

“Persons doing Kapalabhati will be inhaling a good amount of oxygen which purifies the blood and in turn strengthens the nervous and brain centres. It also gives good massage to the internal abdominal organs. Incorporating Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalabhati breathing exercises in your daily exercise regimen not only cures chronic diseases but also strengthens your immune system, thus, warding off many diseases. Those suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obstinate skin diseases, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic depression, constipation, flatulence, menstrual problems, kidney diseases, respiratory problems, allergies, sinus etc. have benefited tremendously from a regular practice of Kapalabhati pranayam.”

Stephen Martile presents How To Set The Right Goals posted at FreedomEducation.ca by Stephen Martile, saying,

“If you’re going to set goals, you want to make sure they are the “right” goals. When I say the “right” goals I don’t mean that I’m right and you’re wrong. There is no right and wrong, there is only what works and what doesn’t work. You want to set goals that work.”

“You are invincible. I don’t mean that in a ‘build your self-confidence way either, you are actually infinite and eternal. If somebody had told me this 2 years ago I would have laughed myself all the way to a Biology class. I realised this because of a few observations that I made and then internalized. These were not particuarly in any order but they all occured at roughly the same time in my life.”

The first thing that comes to me is the simple fact, the simple miracle, that this physical body in which I live is still in service. It’s still here. It has survived all the trauma and tribulations that have populated my life. It has survived the trauma of loss. It has survived the trauma of illness. It has survived a host of challenges and tribulations which need no detailing here.

I’m well into my seventh decade…”

Elige Stewart presents Article: Dancing with the Dark (June 2009) posted at Psychic Insight,

“Many of us were scared of the dark as kids. Most of the time the fears came from assumptions that the shadow on the wall was a crazy serial killer out to get us, or that the screech was a banshee come to steal us away into the night. This obviously didn’t happen, but the fear was real! Most of us still have that ‘fear of the dark’, because the dark is simply that which we can’t clearly see. This manifests in metaphysics as a fear of some of the more unsavory aspects of the energetic realms which, much like the shadows on the wall, seem much bigger and scarier than they actually are. Many metaphysicians, psychics, healers and ‘lightworkers’ are guilty of letting their shadows turn into monsters. I’d like to remedy in this article.”

Four Psychic Senses Development

Meditation

This Meditation Is designed to help you develop your interaction with your four primary psychic senses. As you are guided through this meditation you will experience various aspects of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, and claircognizance. As you work with this meditation over time allow your mind to begin to wander in a free form manner. This will develop your ability to receive psychic information in richer, more in-depth and detailed forms.

• You will need a quiet space where you will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes. You can do this meditation in any comfortable position (Lying down, sitting on the ground or in a chair, standing or moving). You will need to keep your eyes closed so you may want a blind fold. Try to avoid music or incense or any thins that is going to overwhelm any of your senses.

• When you are ready find your comfortable position. Begin by doing a quick grounding visualization as well psychically protecting yourself. When you feel protected and grounded begin to breath. As you breathe become aware of your breath as it moves in and out of your body. Spend A few Breaths just you and your breath.

• Bring your attention to your inner Movie Screen Visualized Just on the back of your eyelids. This screen is Black with nothing showing on it. Stare with your inner eye at the blank black screen for the space of four complete breaths.

• As you continue to watch the screen with your third eye you notice a fuzzy red light red starts to form on the black screen. At first this Light is faint and it begins to grow brighter and to become more solid and intense as it slowly forms into a sphere of red light floating in black space. Watch as this sphere floats in space for the span of four complete breaths.

• Now as you watch Begin to hear music coming from the sphere as floats in the blackness. As you listen to the music you realize that the music sounds like the color red. You sit and listen surrounded by red for four breaths.

• You cannot put your finger on exactly why or how it sounds red but you feel that the music is red. As watch and listen you feel red in all the ways that you can understand red. You feel it moving over and through you as waves of energy. Sit and Allow yourself to become immersed in the feeling for four complete breaths.

• The waves of energy, the red color and the sound of red become one feeling, one thought all these thoughts coming to an understanding of how they are related.

• As you watch, listen, and feel all of your senses engaged you suddenly know how the music is red and the music feels red all at once you understand. You know what red is. Sit with this realization for four complete breaths.

• As you finish the last breath watch as the red sphere begins to fade and become fuzzy and the music and the feeling of red grow fainter. The sphere becomes a red light on the inner movie screen on the back of your eyelids. As you watch the red light starts to turn yellow. The yellow light is fuzzy and starts to grow in intensity as it becomes more solid. As you watch the light becomes a sphere floating in the black space in front of you. Sit watching the sphere floating in the black space for four complete breaths.

• Continue This exercise as we did for the color red with yellow and blue. End the meditation on the blank screen.Spend a few minutes with your breath as you come back to consciousness this will give you the opportunity to receive any psychic impressions. Take some time and record any notes or impressions in your journal. Try doing this with three different colors green, orange, and purple for example.

• If you like, after doing this meditation a few times do only one color, any color you like and then end on the blank screen and allow this to lead you into your psychic space.

Our breathing is a stable solid ground that we can take refuge in. Regardless of our internal weather- our thoughts, emotions and perceptions- our breathing is always with us like a faithful friend. Whenever we feel carried away, or sunken in a deep emotion, or scattered in worries and projects, we return to our breathing to collect and anchor our mind.

We feel the flow of air coming in and going out of our nose. We feel how light and natural, how calm and peaceful our breathing functions. At any time, while we are walking, gardening, or typing, we can return to this peaceful source of life.
We may like to recite:

“Breathing in I know that I am breathing in.
Breathing out I know that I am breathing out.”

We do not need to control our breath. Feel the breath as it actually is. It may be long or short, deep or shallow. With our awareness it will naturally become slower and deeper. Conscious breathing is the key to uniting body and mind and bringing the energy of mindfulness into each moment of our life.
