Will This Protect Me? Poppy Asks the Correct Question

WHAT I KNEW AS A GIRL, AS TEEN, AND WHAT WAS NEARLY EXCISED FROM ME

COMPASSION, FIERCE LOVE, INFURIATED AT INJUSTICE OR HARM TO MYSELF, MY MOTHER. SHE DID NOT FULLY KNOW ME, NOR HERSELF...SHE LOST THE SELF I KNEW, THE ONE WHO FOUGHT FOR HERSELF, WHO DEFENDED ME FIERCELY. SHE THEN AIMED TO TAKE ME DOWN WITH HER. SHE HAD A GLIMMER OF WHAT SHE WAS DOING. AND WAS COMING TO. THEN SHE LOST HERSELF. THANKS TO MEDICAL TREATMENTS. THANKS TO SHALLOW, TRUNCATED RELIGION THAT LEFT HER NO PLACE TO GROW WHEN SHE WAS WELL READY. AND AT LAST THE RE-ENTRY OF APRIL INTO HER LIFE FULL TIME. TO WHOM MOTHER DEDICATED HERSELF AS A SLAVE TO APRIL'S EGO, HER CHILDREN, HER SOCIAL JUSTICE WORKS FOR STRANGERS WHO SIMPLY USE, DISRESPECT, DISLIKE THEM BOTH ULTIMATELY.

society and religious mind still attempts to control or harness the feminine. The female through who life comes. The female who protects and will kill for her young. There is fear and suspicion of the wild power that is inherent in the feminine, in the natural state. " Mark Whitwell, though some will disagree...

THIS SCARES PEOPLE. RIGHTLY SO, AS WOMEN STILL SEEM A???

Ancient Tibet was a shamanic culture before Buddhism became its dominant culture. The powers of nature were worshipped. Its entire cultural history has been the meeting, confusion and integration of these two great cultural expressions. In the early days there were bands of wild women who had no regard for the culture and formality of the male Buddhist idealists. There was an ancient stand off. Orthodoxy considered the women to be uncouth, deranged and dangerous with their suspicious practices and strange shamanic powers. Just as witches of Europe they were deaminized[demonized] by society. But something happened in history. The great yogi Padmasambhava who helped bring Buddhism from India to Tibet grew fond of the wild feminine and a relationship of mutuality developed. It was a relationship of cooperation, of mutual benefit to both. It was not one controlling the other but autonomous beings in support of each other. It was not like Padmasambhava was healing them from a superior doctrinal point of view. Rather both found the advantage in each equally, the powers of reality in each other’s company. To this day the image of a couple in wild sexual embrace is spiritual iconography of Tibet that has profound meaning and purpose. It is surprising that such images are widely seen and have cultural importance and much respect. It is known as Yab-Yum, which represents the primordial union of wisdom and compassion. The male figure is usually linked to karuṇā, compassion, and upaya, skillful means, while the female partner relates to prajñā, insight. It is naïve to imagine that this is some kind of symbolism and not about the actual practice of sexual intimacy of mutuality in which these truths are found. And that an actual yoga of strength receiving, inhalation exhalation is required to find and embody one's male female qualities, to go beyond the social sexual dysfunctions society has otherwise put in us.
It is weirdly strange that society and religious mind still attempts to control or harness the feminine. There is fear and suspicion of the wild power that is inherent in the feminine, in the natural state. Rather than understanding the obviousness that God or reality is found in life’s natural form, the union and cooperation of both male and female power. Even in so called Tantra or Yoga teachings this misogyny is present.
My friend, birthing expert Crescence Krueger recently wrote on this subject from her own experience. “What's become clear, as I've read through most of Robert Svoboda’s Aghora series on Tantra is that his teacher sees the role of the masculine as a "controller" of the feminine. He says Shiva must control Shakti and he brings this into relations between men and women. He is simply wrong. Shakti cannot be controlled, so the only thing the masculine can do is to surrender to the feminine. Then Yoga happens! Turning it around is the cause, of a deep misogyny that distorts understanding of who we are, causing so much suffering in this world.
You can become "intimate" with the feminine in the way much of current Tantra promotes, but that doesn't in itself allow yoga to take place either. Svoboda's teacher said, "You must catch Shakti by the hair and drag Her to you." He's describing spiritual rape. Penetration of the feminine is not Tantra, even when it is with the mind. What is Tantra then? It is interpenetration and mutual receptivity. The Goddess is autonomous; she is already the fusion of masculine and feminine, consciousness and its movement; as we are. When two autonomous individuals come into the vulnerability that allows them to receive each other, love explodes. This is yoga. And this is the only constructive form of relationship in yoga. Our pedagogical structures and institutions create obstacles to the heart, in their effort to correct or control things. We need each other in mutual exchange. The enlightened teacher U.G. KRishnamurti was adamant that the mind must immerse itself in the body, not control it (as much spiritual doctrine insists) and I am just trying to find my own way to express that verbally here: Shakti IS consciousness so she doesn't need the limited consciousness that the mind encompasses. Its penetration of her is irrelevant. She needs nothing. What the mind needs however is to integrate into the vast intelligence of the body, Shakti, the whole/hrid/heart. Healing and regeneration is the result. Enlightenment too, if you want to use that word.”

"Protect against your navel getting cold
Few people realize that the navel is a vulnerable part on the body and that it is full of nerve endings under its very thin layer of skin. The navel, or belly button, is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. "

This is interesting. The abdomen, and naval area is treated as a mechanical, chemical system.

 In searching for proper discussion of nerves, circulation and anatomy of nerves around naval at all depths, little is shown clearly. As if intestines, nerves, fascia, are simply known about and need no extra attention beyond, basic digestion, defecation.

This page is an example of what comes up in googling naval info in summary: "below your belly button." I clicked to view and it  went straight to sexual info, and anus info.

excerpt:


1. The etheric vehicle itself...

2. The nervous system...

3. The endocrine system...

4. The blood stream. This is the carrier of the life principle and of the combined energies and forces of the three above systems. This will be an idea of some novelty to the orthodox. The relationship of the circulatory system of the blood to the nervous system has not been as yet adequately developed in modern medicine. Much, however, has been done to relate the glandular system to the blood.

Only when these four interrelated systems are viewed as one integrated whole and as the four aspects of one vital circulatory system will the truth emerge. Only as they are acknowledged to be the four major distributing agents of the combined rays of the individual man will the true nature of material phenomena be grasped. It might be added here that:

1. The etheric vehicle from the circulatory angle, is governed by the Moon, as it veils Vulcan.
2. The nervous system is ruled by Venus.
3. The endocrine system is governed by Saturn.
4. The blood stream is governed by Neptune.

These four systems are in reality the manifestation of the four aspects of matter in its lowest or purely physical expression. There are other aspects of expression of the fundamental substance, but these are the four of greatest importance.

Directions to clean teeth and throat:

• Brush the teeth, the gums AND the tongue to pull out toxins from the mouth. The best toothpowder has 2 parts potassium alum and 1 part salt. It draws out the mucus and the bacteria that has accumulated. Brush the root of the tongue until you gag and choke and your eyes water. The watering of the eyes is said to prevent cataracts. When you brush the back of the tongue and gag, two balls of mucus will come up from the "monkey glands". These glands are responsible for collecting toxins that have drained from the system overnight. This should be done upon rising from sleep. This mucus has to come out, otherwise it will go back into the body when you swallow, and pollute your system.

A False Guru Test: Consider This List For USA Teachers

The False Guru Test
though some on the list do not resonate precisely as they are worded, this one  point is to be considered:

Is not interested in you personally: If a teacher or guru does not have time to interact with you personally, then you may as well read his teaching from a book, because merely being in his/her presence [or doing myriad postures they direct, week after week, year after year] doesn't help you find realization inside you. You may model some of his spiritual characteristics, but that often only places you deeper in illusion.

May Assist to Fall Asleep More Easily (Breathing Exercise)

This is a draft:
Have been away from this blog for about two months. End of August 2013-End of October 2013, actually, my personal computer went down, and I took it as sign to rest. Before that, after my Mother died on November 1, 2012, I had began a Wordpress. And posted here less.
The shock, devastation, and terrible ending brought on by the people around her left me stunned, horrified.
In light of seeing a way to nourish embers of beauty, truth, dignity, I began to work again with my intuitions, my seeing into truth and through the nonsense. To see through, or rather around, the vulgarities of all varieties of "piggies" as shown in "Animal Farm." I again focused on my essential oils. And planting any small garden that would have edible plant emitting fragrance. The spirit realm (if it exists) is said to appreciate, be able to sense, and be pleased by fine and good, natural fragrances! I had to create, express in my subtle fields, if there was any way to reach what might be left of her being, in the subtle realms around me, and around the greater atmosphere. When she was alive, she loved the nourishment I could provide and appreciated what my hands prepared for her. My home life, not of my doing, and my health were quite in a bad state in her last years. I could not offer my usual hospitality. So, through these methods of garden outdoors, and essential plant oil fragrances, walking in the rain, being outside, I was in physical, but the result of these were subtly there for her, and her friends, if she is with them in the ethers. ( for she loved to share.)
What a world of people around her, so many, who are medicated, brainwashed, and brainwashing others to beat all get out. And who believe they are correct in wanting to psychologize, baptize, and medicate others who do not agree with them.
Also, I tried to write some of what horror occurred, to clear, as well. I have not even touched the depths of truth. I am an artist though. Not a writer. And writing well for others to understand may not be a gift for me. I wish I had recored much of it in sound and visually! So as not to have to remember it. But still tell the truth! So, after meaning to write and order my life for years, in marriage to a less that fine person, who stole much from me. I began in the middle of a bloody mess. In this horrid richness, of the full spectrum of life, I must step into the more rarified stratums. Writing a blog is not it. Yet, it has been an exercise, that may lead to finer...
Have also been working with Wordpress a bit on my site: http://www.illuminatedbeauty.wordpress.com

The ancients understood and practiced subtleties in all aspects of health. From digestion, to personal inner terrain, to the subtleties the respiratory system. This respiratory is a fine system that is taken for granted in the run-about and hustle of the modern world. 

That we can even regulate our own breath and inner gases, to affect our own health, is spoken about among athletes, or adults who have been athletes, meditation and yoga practitioners.
The actual quality of air that enters a persons body daily, day after day, decade after decade, is rarely considered by most. It is taken for granted that our indoor filtered air is of good quality. 

I have seen in South Florida, that people will function for years and years indoors, in office buildings, in gyms, and homes where the air is devitalized, and often not very clean at all.

The health-conscious ones seem to get along fine, and by their 5th decade of life, they may have a few problems that have been simmering, and will emerge, or that just pop up. They, and their physicians almost never attribute these health situations or conditions, that may have built up over time, to the condition of their inner terrain. To the layers of life simmering inside and outside their skin. Nor do they even consider or attribute a problem to the one fuel they've consumed the most: AIR.

What is the inner terrain of the person by their 5th, 6th decade? Inner linings of lungs? Heavy indoor and outdoor exercisers, steady yoga practitioners, and the like do fair better in health matters. For even if living and working in in toxic, or less than optimal air quality, they move much untoward air components through their bodies quickly. Some less-than-beneficial components in the air have less time to settle into mucous membranes. And if any untoward, or less than life affirming air components do find their way in, the lymphatic system is being pumped more readily by all the exercise to move the unwelcome through the system. These are moved to avenues of exit to be excreted, through normal channels. Channels of excretion: digestion, eyes, ears, skin:sweat and skin respiration, breasts and so on.

But the large openings of nose and mouth, take in air as we function indoors, and sleep for however many hours.
And AIR QUALITY MATTERS!
More to come on this later as I revisit my old research and find the newer and finer indoor air quality regulators. And as I find places for myself that I might offer as suggestions to others. For getting outdoors in fresh-air, in areas where this will be beneficial.

An aspect to consider as one pays attention to refining the daily air quality inhaled: "Breath techniques." Breath releases and controls are one beautiful and under-utilized aspects to harmonize the overall health of the bodily systems.

The Buteyko Breath Methods can be helpful for some individuals and some situations. 

They are not agreed upon for all situations. As I understand sleep and the necessary internal gases though, I will be giving this a try once again.

Quote from video's author:"Problems with falling asleep quickly and insomnia are due to overexcited nerve cells caused by too low CO2 levels in the brain cells. Low CO2 is common in modern people as this YouTube video shows. The main cause of reduced CO2 levels in the brain and body cells is breathing excessive amount of air that causes problems with sleep."

Once I tried this, the only difference for me would be to not force the abdominal breathing. This emphasis is from my own experience sometimes more stress inducing. 

I am not a medical advisor. This is for my own experience.

What is a Vasana?

Viewpoint of one person, Steve Beckow, telling of  Vasanas: 

What is a Vasana? – Part 1/2 « Golden Age of Gaia

"This survival of vasanas is why we hear of gurus, who may have had levels of enlightenment as high as seventh-chakra Brahmajnana (God Realization), also called kevalya nirvikalpa samadhi, who still have vasanas."

"Vasanas have been described by others as “sleeping volcanoes” (S.N. Goenka) and the muscular tension in the body associated with them as “character armoring” (Wilhelm Reich) and the “pain body” (Eckhart Tolle). Werner Erhard called them “records,” “rackets,” and “incompletions”; Eric Berne, “games”; Claude Steiner, “scripts” – most psychologists and growth leaders have some way of referring to them."

Good and Bad Vasanas

"Ramana Maharshi distinguishes between good and bad vasanas. Good vasanas, like tending to our parents’ needs, loving all people, being charitable, all of which promote the laws of nature, do not harm, but bad vasanas, which go against the laws of nature, do."

YOGA IN INDIAN CULTURE: SMITHSONIAN October 19, 2013 - January 26, 2014

Smithsonian Institute presents

Yoga:The Art of Transformation. 

The exhibit runs from October 19, 2013 - January 26, 2014 at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (before traveling.) 

1050 Independence Ave., SW Washington, DC

Debra Diamond, curator of the exhibit: "Yoga constantly transforms and simultaneously gets imbedded in culture. The exhibit explores yoga’s goals and means of transforming body and consciousness, its profound philosophical foundations, its role within multiple religious and secular arenas, and the roles that yogis played in society, from divinized teachers to militant ascetics. That being said, the path of modern yoga is still being laid."
Included in the exhibit is the Thomas Edison film, Hindoo Fakir (1906)

quote from interview: http://yogacitynyc.com/articles/WeeklyDetails/717

Character in USA Yoga

"...what happens when the people who fall into yoga aren’t self-conscious, or vulnerable, or able to acknowledge possible mistakes or philosophical misalignments? What happens when people don’t get transformed by the process, but instead get physically stronger and increasingly self-obsessed and self-righteous?"

Laparoscopic removal of gall bladder video- or less invasive methods?

Laparoscopic removal of gall bladder - YouTube
Take care, research and take care.
If you have the slightest low-grade, continuing, or chronically serious digestive problems, find out for yourself how to improve your digestion, without long-term medicines.
If you have gallbladder problems look for ways to clear this internal condition to prevent surgery.
There are plenty of persons, counselors, and even free information to understand, and apply before this unhealthful condition or pain worsens.
You may even find a physician, or an osteopath if you prefer, who will help guide you in natural ways.
Yes, people are known to live on, sometimes just fine for decades after surgery, without gallbladders.
Yet, often, I have seen that soon after gallbladder removal, certain smaller, then larger, "heart problems" will begin.
I remind you of this not as a medical doctor. I speak only from personal life. And from seeing people who have suffered and died. And from knowing other people who attended to inner health, kept a gallbladder, and improved their digestion and overall health without surgery.
There are now, pockets and networks of people with knowledge the world over that are quietly attending to REAL healthcare.
What a blessing.
