Why Should You Use Yogi Alex™ Salt Soak?

Treat Your Body Mind And Spirit To A Little Heaven On Earth – what follows here is The Story Of Yogi Alex™ Salt Soak, and a very brief summary of the health benefits of sea salt, virgin coconut oil, and lavender essential oil. The holistic health and wellness benefits of the three organic ingredients contained in this salt bath are well known. Sea Salt and Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil are part of my DAILY DIET, as well as being good to soak in. Sun And Wind Made Pure Bahamian Sea Salt, Extra Virgin Organic Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil And Cold-Pressed Organic Lavender Essential Oil. Did you know that most things you put on your skin are absorbed into your body and end up in your blood stream and digestive system? What follows here is a brief description of the many benefits of the three ingredients we use to make Yogi Alex Salt Soak.

Yogi Alex™ Magic Salt Soak is a truly special one-of-a-kind product. I originally developed it for my own use. While I was soaking in it one day, it occurred to me that I should be sharing it with friends, family, and the rest of the community. I was also very concerned about the contents of other bath soaks. I rely upon the wonderful properties of this salt soak and have done so for many years -- to heal my body, mind, and spirit after vigorous workouts, stressful life experiences, and spiritual “growing pains”. This salt soak is very powerful but also very simple. I combined the three most highly effective healing ingredients (handed down to me by three highly evolved healers) using only the finest Bahamian Sea Salt, Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, and Cold-Pressed Organic Lavender Essential Oil. I rely on it to soothe my body, clear negative energies, and ground myself any time things start getting out of control in my life. The Sea is one of the most healing elements a body can soak in. We all came from the sea and our bodies require all the same salts and minerals found in sea salt. Sweating causes the body to lose these minerals and they need to be replenished. Cold-pressed, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is one of the most wonderful, healthful, nutritious, safe, hydrating, and moisturizing substances you can put on your skin. Cold pressed organic extra virgin Lavender Essential Oil is one of the simplest, safest, calming, uplifting, relaxing aromatherapies available. So I combine all three in perfect proportions to make this salt soak.

This is a pure after-yoga salt soak to relax and heal the body and clear and ground your energy after vigorous workouts. The Crystals are LARGE so you need to add the ENTIRE CONTENTS just under the filling water tap. The crystals take several minutes to dissolve and I believe that part of the special properties of this bath involve soaking in it WHILE the dissolving process takes place, as well as AFTER it has taken place. Optimal soak time is 20 minutes. Less time will not allow your body to fully obtain the benefits, while more time will not result in additional benefit. Fully submerge yourself to clear any negative energy you may have picked up. Briefly raise your legs higher than your heart for a while. Listen to some healing music. Massage your muscles and skin while you soak. Rinsing after bathing is optional -- I do. Drink lots of fresh water after soaking. Better yet, have some tea.

The Many Benefits Of Sea Salt
Sea salt is beneficial to the skin. Skin absorbs sea salts, vitamins and any other substances it comes into contact with. It is universally accepted that sea salts can have a wonderful effect on circulation and metabolism. Sea salts contain many minerals beneficial to the body. Magnesium is important for combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at preventing water retention, increasing circulation and strengthening bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body, helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to replenish after intense exercise. Bromides act to ease muscle stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important for lymphatic fluid balance (this is important for the immune system). So we can see that bathing in high quality sea salts could replenish the minerals vital to our skin metabolism. Combining bath salts and essential oils together creates a synergistic blend of therapeutic proportions. When combined with the relaxing properties of hot water the benefits increase again. Aromatic baths can provide relief from stress and anxiety, assist with joint and muscle pain, and treat the symptoms of more severe skin conditions. The therapeutic benefits of salt baths are well known and often recommended by doctors for treating a wide range of medical conditions.

The Many Benefits Of Coconut Oil

The many benefits of coconut oil are finally reaching the mainstream. Benefits like promoting your heart health, promoting weight loss when and if you need it, supporting your immune system health, supporting a healthy metabolism, providing you with an immediate energy source, helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking, supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland, smoothing and moisturizing effects, promoted skin elasticity, convenient eye make-up remover and use in shaving applications – to name just a few!

Coconut oil is comprised of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. Coconut oil is nature's richest source of these healthy MCFAs. By contrast, most common vegetable or seed oils are comprised of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs), also known as long-chain triglycerides or LCTs.

There are several reasons to explain why these long-chain fatty acids are not as healthy for you as the MCFAs in coconut oil:

LCFAs are difficult for the body to break down — they must be packaged with lipoproteins or carrier proteins and require special enzymes for digestion. LCFAs put more strain on the pancreas, the liver and the entire digestive system.
LCFAs are predominantly stored in the body as fat. (That's why most people buy into the myth that fats are automatically "fattening".) LCFAs can be deposited within arteries in lipid forms such as cholesterol. Coconut oil is comprised of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. MCFAs in coconut oil are more health-promoting than fats in other oils because (1) MCFAs are smaller. They permeate cell membranes easily, and do not require lipoproteins or special enzymes to be utilized effectively by your body. (2) MCFAs are easily digested, thus putting less strain on your digestive system. This is especially important for those of you with digestive or metabolic concerns. (3) MCFAs are sent directly to your liver, where they are immediately converted into energy rather than being stored as fat.

MCFAs in coconut oil can actually help stimulate your body's metabolism, leading to weight loss.
One of the best benefits of coconut oil lies in its ability to help stimulate your metabolism. Coconut oil has often been compared to carbohydrates in its ability to be "burned" for energy. However, since insulin is not involved in the process of digesting the MCFAs in coconut oil, you won't get those carb-related spikes in your blood sugar level. This is especially good news for those of you concerned about maintaining normal blood sugar levels. I cannot stress enough how powerfully beneficial this oil is. Do your own research and see for yourself!

The Many Benefits Of Organic Lavender Essential Oil

Nervous System: Lavender essential oil has a calming scent which makes it an excellent tonic for the nerves and helps in treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. Its refreshing aroma removes nervous exhaustion and restlessness and increases mental activity. Lavender essential oil induces sleep and hence it is often recommended for insomnia. Lavender essential oil is also an excellent remedy for various types of pains including those caused by sore muscles, tense muscles, muscular aches, rheumatism, sprains, backache and lumbago. Massage with lavender oil provides relief from pain in the joints. Lavender essential oil is good for urinary disorders as it stimulates urine production. It helps in restoring hormonal balance and reduces cystitis or inflammation of the urinary bladder. It also reduces any associated cramps. Lavender oil is extensively used for various respiratory problems including throat infections, flu, cough, cold, asthma, sinus congestion, bronchitis, whooping cough, laryngitis, and tonsillitis. The oil is either used in the form of vapor or applied on the skin of neck, chest and back. It is also added in many vaporizers and inhalers used for cold and coughs. The health benefits of lavender oil for the skin can be attributed to its antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is used to treat various skin disorders such as acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and other inflammations. It heals wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns rapidly as it aids in the formation of scar tissues. Lavender oil is added to chamomile to treat eczema. Lavender essential oil is useful for the hair as it can be very effective on lice and lice eggs or nits. Lavender essential oil is also good for improving blood circulation. It lowers blood pressure and is used for hypertension. Lavender oil is useful for digestion as it increases the mobility of the intestine. The oil also stimulates the production of gastric juices and bile and thus aids in treating indigestion, stomach pain, colic, flatulence, vomiting and diarrhea. Regular use of lavender essential oil provides resistance to diseases. Other health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability to treat leucorrhea. It is also effective against insect bites. The oil is also used to repel mosquitoes and moths. You will find many mosquito repellents containing lavender oil as one of the ingredients.

SUGAR

"If only a small fraction of what is already known about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive, that material would promptly be banned."
- John Yudkin, MD
How to Get Your Sweet Fix Without Sabotaging Your Health
By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison
If you could make one simple change in your diet to help you melt fat, sleep better, and improve your memory... wouldn't you do it? What if that same simple dietary change could increase your energy, conquer depression, save your eyesight, restore your mental alertness, get your bedroom energy rockin', and increase your lifespan?
This may sound too good to be true. But it's not. And you don't have to take drugs. Nor do you have to try some newfangled experimental supplements. Or stop eating. Or even give up the foods you love.
It's as simple as reducing the amount of sugar you eat.
This is not a trick. I said you don't have to give up the foods you love. And that includes sweets. You can actually give up sugar and keep your sweet tooth happy. This is the greatest health secret of all time. And I'm gonna teach you how to incorporate it into your life.
Before I tell you how, I want you to know just why you should give up sugar.
It's not just because of all the aforementioned benefits. It's because sugar can have serious health consequences.
Have you ever been plagued by hard-to-diagnose health problems? You know something is wrong, but your doctor can't seem to figure out what's causing them? You...
can't lose weight, no matter how hard you exercise or diet
feel depressed, even though you're typically a happy person
can't get a solid night's sleep
feel sluggish at work
lack mental focus
have lost your libido
suffer from rising blood pressure
Well, it's not all in your head. It could be your sugar addiction.
My six-year-old can recite all the dangers of sucrose (table sugar) in a matter of two minutes. She can also warn you of the risks associated with those artificial sweeteners in pretty packets. And because she still likes to get her "sweet fix," she can tell you which natural sweeteners are best to use in tea, cookies, and cake. Not bad, considering that the self-appointed custodians of our health - physicians - are totally clueless about the sweetener epidemic that is sabotaging us.
If a first grader can master the problems with sugar and understand how to choose the right alternatives, you can too.
We all have the need to get a sweet fix. It's part of our biological makeup. When consumed, sweets elicit a chemical cascade of events that lead to the triggering of feel-good receptors within the brain. If this happens repeatedly, an emotional bond between happiness and sugar is formed. We become fully dependent on sweets.
Sugar addiction is best illustrated by children who break down with temper tantrums if not given sugar, women who consume chocolate in times of stress, and men who suck down soda to make it through the "afternoon blues." In a study comparing the addictive properties of sweeteners, saccharin and sucrose proved more addictive than cocaine!
The irony is that your body doesn't actually need any sugar. What you do need is glucose for energy. And you can obtain it from fruit and vegetables.
If left unchecked, an addiction to sweets spikes blood sugar and the fat-storing hormone insulin, disrupts satiety (causing users to overeat), and gives rise to age-accelerating molecules known as AGE products (advanced glycation end products). These aging molecules are responsible for causing wrinkles and age-related blindness, as well as premature heart attacks and stroke.
Over time, "sweetener addiction" leads to the hard-to-diagnose symptoms listed above, and a host of dreaded diseases like insulin resistance, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. To avoid the sabotage, you must understand how to get your sweet fix without becoming addicted.
Years ago, people didn't eat much sugar - as little as 10-15 pounds per year. And their health was much better for it. As time passed and sugar production became easier, people gave into their sweet cravings and began to overindulge. Today, the average consumption of sugar is a whopping 160 pounds! It's suicide in slow motion. Sugar addicts eliminate 11-20 years from their lifespan.
Few people realize how much sugar they are putting into their body. They are simply giving into an addiction while slowly ruining their health. To judge whether or not you are at risk, read your food labels for one day and count how many grams of sugar you are eating. Insert that number into my People's Chemist Death by Sugar Calculator. Watch as the graph calculates how many pounds of sugar you are stuffing into your mouth annually.
But that doesn't mean you should replace sucrose with artificial sweeteners to get your sweet fix. Artificial sweeteners are nothing more than drugs in disguise. Splenda is a perfect example.
Splenda contains the drug sucralose. Invented in a pesticide lab, this chemical is 600 times sweeter than sugar. To make sucralose, chlorine is used. Chlorine has a split personality. It can be harmless or it can be life threatening. In combo with sodium, chlorine forms a harmless ionic bond to yield table salt. When used with carbon, the chlorine atom in sucralose forms a covalent bond. The end result is deadly organochlorine, known simply as RNFOC (a Really Nasty Form of Chlorine). Unlike ionic bonds, covalently bound chlorines are a big no-no for the human body. They yield insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides - not something you want in your sports drink or your child's lunchbox.
Think aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) is safe? Think again. As an organic chemistry teaching assistant, I taught my students how to identify the active ingredients in soda using a technique known as TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography). The byproducts of sodas containing aspartame are all known poisons (that would slowly kill you): methanol, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid. I never saw my students with a diet soda after that.
Safe alternatives to artificial sweeteners are abundant: erythritol, stevia, agave, xylitol and luo han guo.
Choosing which natural sweetener to use depends on which one tastes best to you. Agave nectar usually wins. It stimulates taste buds exactly the same way sucrose does. But unlike common table sugar, very little of its active ingredient - inulin - is absorbed. Therefore, you are protected from the dangers of sugar addiction.
As a "nectar," agave is a bit harder to bake with. This is where erythritol wins.
All natural sweeteners are known to help control appetite, keep insulin and blood sugar low, and prevent the formation of AGE products. None of them are addicting, nor will they diminish your lifespan.
Getting your sweet fix doesn't have to be deadly. If you learn to gauge your sugar intake with The People's Chemist Death by Sugar Calculator and start using natural sweeteners, you won't be plagued by hard-to-diagnose health problems. And you'll have more years to enjoy life and those you love.

Three wonderful healing teas for respiratory relief.

1 - Thyme, lemon, and honey. (1 tsp. thyme per mug will do the trick, lemon and honey to taste). This is known as "French Healing Tea".

2 - Ginger, Garlic, Cilantro (you determine the right mixture for you). I might try shredding a golf ball sized chunk of ginger, adding 6 cloves chopped garlic, and a mouthful of chopped Cilantro to one gallon of water, boil all for 30 minutes, filter, and drink! (A monk recommended this combo to me).

3 - Ginger, Cinammon Stick, Cloves, Cardamom Seeds. (Golf Ball Sized Ginger, shredded, 10 cloves, 10 cardamom seeds, one cinammon stick. Boil all into one gallon water, 30 minutes, let cool overnight, bring back to boil, add 2 bags Earl Grey to steep 10 minutes, then filter all and drink.

For those of you who may have developed a sinus condition this winter, I HIGHLY recommend trying Neti Pot. Here is the best website I have found to clearly outline what Neti Pot is, and how to use it properly. http://www.jalanetipot.com/index.html Pay special attention to "Stage 2" of the cleansing process. THIS is what will get rid of any Upper Respiratory Infection you may have. Stage 2 cleaning is what really cleans all the gunk out. And here is a special tip for you. Add 1/3 dropper full of GOLDENSEAL liquid to your Neti Pot, in addition to the salt water, to add a holistic healing booster to the wash. Namaste - Alex

For those of you who have the good fortune to visit Kauai, there is a truly gifted healer and masseuse named Katharina Strack. Her massage was one of the best I have ever received -- and I have received MANY MANY massages. http://www.touchkauai.com/ is her website. In addition to massage, she runs island tours and more. I would honestly say that you have not experienced Kauai until you have taken a healing lomi lomi massage with Katharina. She is a breath of fresh Hawaiian air and her spirit shines like the sun.

Thoughts for the week: While on a personal retreat in Kauai (a place I highly recommend everyone go) I had the absolute luck and pleasure to receive lomi lomi from "Michael" at Auntie Angeline's. (I would fly to Kauai just to have another Lomi Lomi here - it was so good!) During the Lomi Lomi (massage), Michael made a few 'stress' related recommendations to me which I think would apply to just about everyone I know. http://www.angelineslomikauai.com/

(1) Check out the numerous health benefits of TURMERIC! Based on what I have learned - I would recommend almost everyone take 2-3 grams of this spice on a regular basis. Google turmeric and see for yourself! You can buy organic turmeric cheaply from Whole Foods or Wild Oats for about $3.00 a bottle! (Do not pay for the expensive pill supplements!)

(2) To deal with computer related neck, shoulder, and upper back muscle tension and pain, try Googling "SHOULDER RETRACTION STRETCH" and "THORACIC EXTENSION STRETCH".

Namaste and Happy New Year to all my friends! - Alex

RECOMMENDED READING: "The 3 Season Diet", By John Douillard.

About This Book: Do you drink coffee in the morning to get your day started? Do you work through lunch? Do you crave sweets or a nap in the afternoon? Have you tried losing weight in the past three years and given up? Do you tend to have bouts of worry, anxiety, and depression? Do you have difficulty remembering things? If you do, this book will help you restore balance to your daily life. By following its simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, you will not only lose excess pounds and maintain your ideal weight, you will generate energy and power in your life.Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will: work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons, feeding it what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In spring, for instance, we want salads, berries, and leafy greens, a naturally low-fat diet. And in winter, we yearn for hearty soups, nuts, warm grains, and high-fat and protein-rich foods such as fish and meat.

ALMOND DRINK:

Soak ten almonds overnight in water. In the morning, remove the skins. Place almonds in a blender with one cup warm milk. Add a pinch of cardamom powder, and freshly ground black pepper, and one teaspoonful of honey. Blend for five minutes on high speed and drink. This drink helps to improve energy and "ojas" (vital life energy governing the body).

Enjoy! - Alex

YOGI TEA: Here is a wonderful recipe for something called Yogi Tea. It is great before doing yoga, as it opens the sinuses and is very refreshing and invigorating. I love this stuff!

(2) tsp ground fresh ginger, (4) cardamom seeds, (8) whole cloves, (1) cinammon stick.

Add these ingredients to (8) cups of water, bring to a boil, then lower flame and boil down to (4) cups. Add one ounce of milk and enjoy! - Alex

JIA WEI XIAO YAO SAN (Free and Easy Wanderer)

Breaking up with your lover can cause all sorts of stress. Mine prompted me to see a Chinese Herbalist. She prescribed "Jai Wei Xiao Yao San" a.k.a. "Free And Easy Wanderer". This tea medicine is truly amazing stuff. Primarily used by women for PMS, it is also great for men who are enduring uncommon stress in their lives! (Male PMS?) Anyway, I highly recommend having a bottle of this around the house for those extremely stressful days. Your Chi energy goes UP, your stress levels fall to ZERO, and this formula also detoxifies the liver and blood at the same time. I give this chinese herbal stress remedy a WOW factor of 10 (out of 10)!! No side effects, and you do not feel drugged or drowsy, on the contrary, you feel calm, alert, and like a "Free and East Wanderer"!

PAIN RELIEF CREAMS:

As a 47 year old practicing yoga, I have come to learn of two MIRACLE joint and muscle pain relief creams I highly recommend!

The first one is topical MSM Cream, sold by Puritan's Pride, primarily for chronic (arthritic) pain but also great for temporary joint pain relief. http://www.puritan.com/

The second one is a menthol penetrating MUSCLE AND JOINT pain relief cream (similar but far superior to Ben Gay) called "Jivamukti China Gel" (Therapeutic Gel) and can be purchased in the online shopping area of their website. It acts fast and can be applied to trouble spots BEFORE yoga class, so it acts during the class and you feel like new by the time your class is finished! http://www.jivamuktiyoga.com/boutique/index.html

MAGIC BULLET:

More than a handful of my friends have told me to buy a "Magic Bullet" -- so yesterday I finally did. This thing is really great and I am immediately adding it to my recommended list of appliances. (It is the only one currently on the list!).

http://www.buythebullet.com/

Maybe I will start posting recipes? Here are some I tested and would repeat...

(1) V8, Fresh Cilantro & Basil, tabasco, black pepper, garlic, TBS superfood.

(2) O.J., pomegranate juice, superfood.

(3) ten skinned almond (soak overnight), 1 cup milk, 1 tsp honey, black pepper, cardamom.

Wellness Resources - http://www.wellness.com

Here is a website that might just make my BLOG obsolete, if it hasn't already! http://www.wellness.com

Every time I surf -- I never know what I am going to find on the internet!

Here is how I found it, and I recommend you try this to find NEW and interesting sites. GOOGLE a word (like wellness) and then click on I AM FEELING LUCKY, instead of just whacking the return key.

In their own words:

"About Wellness.com The Wellness professionals at Wellness.com invite you to join our community as we all seek to discover and define health for our Minds, Bodies, Relationships, and Spiritual Connections. We believe in the totality of the human experience and the ability to focus our mind to solve or resolve issues to make our time on earth more satisfying, loving, and enriching.

Both are Board Certified Diplomates, medical directors, and practicing physicians who, every day, deal with the big and small problems in people's lives. Their primary perspectives form around the importance of Prevention, Education, and Lifestyle Skills and Management. Wellness.com believes that the person and his or her family should be in the center of healthcare, not doctors, insurance companies, and institutions; and should support people's desires and beliefs to do what is best for them--including integrating alternative or complimentary medicine into their lifestyle.

Ultimately, the person needs to take charge of her or his behaviors, skills, and attitudes, and that is what Wellness.com is about.

Wellness Resources - SALT BATHS

Here is a secret - no more.

Salt baths are an excellent way to cleanse yourself of negative energy and heal yourself from muscle pain and soreness. Take a salt bath. AND HERE IS THE SECRET: You can get a HUGE 40 LB bag of salt from Home Depot for only $5 a bag. 99.5% pure sea salt from the Bahamas no less! (They avoid the higher priced "Parmaceutical Grading" by tossing a small pebble into each bag... Hah! They don't fool me for a minute! Look in their Water Softener section and make sure you buy the BLUE (Sodium Chloride) bag, not the yellow one.

PUT AT LEAST 2 CUPS of salt into a bath tub full of HOT WATER and dissolve the salt crystals first, they are LARGE CHUNKS and need to be dissolved for a few minutes. Soak for EXACTLY 20 MINUTES. More is OVER doing it, and LESS is not enough to do the job.

Namaste and ENJOY your salt baths!

Holistic Wellness Resources - MASSAGE

I can't emphasize the importance of a good massage. It is one of the best remedies I know of to restore, rejuvenate, heal, repair, improve, balance, and care for your body. Here is a great place to start your search for information about massage -- the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massage

Once again, I cannot over-emphasize the importance of finding a good practitioner. Lousy massage is just that -- lousy! But there is nothing better than a great massage. Listen to your body after each massage. Try several different massage therapists. No offense to other practitioners, but I have discovered over the years, and countless massage, that the BEST therapists are often trained in ASIA. My personal favorite is a "pranic healer". I guess a lot depends on the type of massage that works for you, as well as the therapist who does it. A good rule of thumb is that if you feel ten years younger after your massage, then you have found the right therapist! Cheers, Alex.

Holistic Wellness Resources - QIGONG

Here is another idea: QIGONG. Everything I have heard about this practice leads me to believe it is genuinely beneficial, although I personally prefer yoga and meditation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong

QIGONG ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA: http://www.qi.org/

In their own words: "Qigong is a self-healing art that combines movement and meditation. Visualizations are employed to enhance the mind/body connection and assist healing.

Regular practice of qigong can:

- prevent and treat illness
- reduce stress
- establish balance
- integrate mind/body/spirit
- bring peace."

And here is the QIGONG INSTITUTE'S WEBSITE: http://www.qigonginstitute.org

In their words: "As we continue working to help build the Qigong community, we recognize our responsibility to grow and change with the needs of our supporters. This will manifest in both the evolving "look" of our website, as well as our continued commitment to provide sound scientific data to inspire you to continue your Qigong study.We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting Qigong through research and education and have worked hard since 1983 to be a clearinghouse for related news and scientific facts to aid researchers, writers, practitioners, and members of the Western medical community. "

"Qigong is the key component of traditional Chinese medicine with a history of five thousand years (in record)."

Having the last say here, I would add that health and fitness programs are only as good as the practitioners who administer them. BEWARE OF QUACKS AND PHONEYS IN EVERY PATH YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW!

Holistic Wellness Resources - LEARNING MEDITATION DOT COM

Lots of FREE CONTENT, including meditation audio downloads. Rated "BEST OF WEB" by Forbes. Here is the link to their "meditation room."

http://www.learningmeditation.com/room.htm

"Welcome to Learning Meditation. I hesitate to use the word meditation. To me, as well as many others, the word "meditation" conjures up the picture of a bearded man sitting cross-legged in front of an entrance to a cave or high on a mountain top. Climbing the mountain and reaching him is part of the arduous journey toward self-fulfillment, self-improvement. Once we find him we ask, "What is the meaning of life?" or "How do we achieve peace in ourselves and our lives?" This all-knowing man tells us the answers are "inside ourselves" and tells us to go and contemplate. I don't know if that answer was worth the journey!
Well, I am not a wise man on a mountain. I am just like you -- involved in life and work, seeking more serenity and calm in my life. I am still learning to do it better, using meditation as a guide on my journey. I invite you to take this journey yourselves. I invite you to use meditation to find the answers to your questions. "

Holistic Wellness Resources - VIPASSANA

"Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living.
This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose.
Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.
The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace."

Holistic Wellness Resources - BHANTE WIMALA

Bhante Wimala is the best meditation instructor I have come across in all my years of learning. If you have the chance, I highly recommend you attend his Introduction To Meditation workshop at The OMEGA Institute. I also HIGHLY recommend The OMEGA Institute as the world's best source of New Age and Old Age Spirituality workshops!

Here is the link for Bhante Wimala's site: http://www.bhantewimala.com/

"His Holiness The Dalai Lama introduces Bhante Wimala, author of Lessons of the Lotus, as "a Theravada Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka who spends his time traveling and teaching in the spirit of monks at the time of the Buddha [Bhante] presents the teachings the Buddha gave over 2,500 years ago as if they had been given to address the needs of people today. His counsel to those who meet him is drawn from his own experience and the inspiration he has gained from studying and contemplating the Buddha's teachings On a simple and practical level, [Bhante] explains how meditation functions as a healing force for the mind he also discusses global problems such as the pollution and degeneration of our environment. Bhante Wimala's heartfelt concern for the suffering and the simple remedies he draws from the Buddha's teachings will be a source of strength for everyone confused by the pressures of modern life."One need only hear Bhante Wimala's voice to fathom the grounds for the Dalai Lama's statements about him. Bhante speaks in a way that is both timeless and timely. His tone is at once soothing and guiding. You can hear a depth of experience in his words, and in their clean-clear sound, a genuine teacher and exemplar.To meet Bhante Wimala is to have his realness confirmed by your eyes. One delights in his youthful smile and bright eyes, his gentle nature, his calm yet purposeful strength, and his love of life and all living beings.Sent by choice to a Buddhist temple at the age of 13, Bhante Wimala received his ordination as a novice the next year. Bhante completed six years of formal training as a Buddhist monk and received his higher ordination at age 20. At this stage, a Buddhist monk is typically encouraged by custom or inclination to continue in strictly formal studies, which are primarily academic in their emphasis. Bhante Wimala, however, chose to set out into the world, bearing only his robe and bowl.Traveling for two decades around the globe and studying under many teachers and masters has produced in the person of Bhante Wimala a compassionate and receptive monk. His practical spiritual teachings and down to earth approach make him available, encouraging and understandable. Bhante's philosophy emphasizes the authenticity of experiencing (above mere speculating), a focus on "be-living" rather than "believing." Bhante is well connected and travels the globe. He has created a series of meditation, lecture and poetry tapes available directly from him, and is currently writing a new spiritual book. His favorite pastime is to meet new people and who knows, he might be coming to your town."

And here is the link to the OMEGA Instutute:
http://www.eomega.org/

"Since 1977, through our workshops and retreats, Omega has been a pioneer in exploring, teaching, and embracing new ideas. We have also had another mission: to create a peaceful oasis in a hurried world. To this end, we have made our campus a healing center, a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and feel at home in the midst of nature's bounty and a community of warm, caring people.
The beauty of our gardens, lake, and rolling hills, the friendly staff, the wonderful food, and the facilities at our Wellness Center all support what people come to Omega to learn. Most of all, it is the sincerity and openness of everyone here that make Omega a place where you can find within yourself the courage to become a happier, healthier, and more spirited person."
