Quantum Light Breath--Jeru Kabbal

 

WHAT IS THE QUANTUM LIGHT BREATH?

The Quantum Light Breath created by Jeru Kabbal is a highly focused breathing meditation process that greatly accelerates the user’s personal transformation by bypassing the conscious mind and releasing old programs directly from the subconscious. It basically eliminates the need for analysis, painful emotional experiences, years of therapy or growth groups and unfruitful meditations. It usually takes the user into an expanded state of consciousness. Universal love is experienced as a reality and not as an unreachable concept. There is a deep connection to the Universal Intelligence.

A Fire Inside: Thoughts on the Credit Crisis and the Creativity of Winter http://www.davidwhyte.com/ 

A Fire Inside: Thoughts on the Credit Crisis and the Creativity of Winter Outside my window the wintry English fields spread, as they have for centuries to the dark, smoke blue line of woods that limit the horizon of the valley. A bright fire burns in the grate to my left, while outside I can hear the call of a barn owl cutting the still, even air. All is exactly has it has been for many a hundred year in these Cotswold hills where I happily find myself this winter's day. Everything from horizon to horizon is eternal and quiet and seemingly unchangeable - except, that is, for one tiny but extraordinary portal I can open on this laptop to a parallel world of web-borne news, a world supposedly more real than the quiet one I inhabit this cold but beautiful evening. With a few clicks, I can enter an astonishing world of worry, anxiety and for many individuals, and indeed whole societies, material hardship, brought on by the cessation of credit. Out of the hermetic silence of a quiet winter day I can take a few short steps and almost touch the sense of panic and the extraordinary breakdown in trust that has stopped the flow of currency from one person to another, one bank to another, one society to another. It is as if the cold hands of this financial season have touched every last monetary stream and rivulet, and frozen them over. It is winter here in the countryside with all its well-loved beauties, but out in the world of money, it is winter with another form of terrible beauty, the winter of disappearance, immobility, and the worry fret and anxiety that comes from seeming to have very little shelter from its effects. It is always a trauma for the human psyche when those elements it has over-invested itself in at the periphery of life are withdrawn, and the spring-like world of growth and opportunity seems to close down, as if the old currencies have become worthless while we as yet do not know how to value or harvest the following season.

Rowing--Courage, Stamina and Discipline

"One of the reasons, I think, for the growth of interest in rowing is that it is the perfect form of exercise. Rowing calls into play every muscle of the body. It call for skill, courage, stamina and discipline."

Trust the Experience Before You...

As our world encounters difficult times, on personal and collective levels, here is a good story from Joseph Campbell to remember:

A bit of advice given to a young Native American at the time of his initiation:

"As you go the way of life,
you will see a great chasm.
Jump.
It is not as wide as you think."

My friend and fellow coach, Edward Santana, dedicated this blog post to my daughter today.

Thank you, dear Edward.

Grok--To Grok, Grokking, Grok it

Grok = Thinking-Synthesizing-brainstorming-sequencing-to understand something intuitively or by empathy

Grok is a word borrowed from Martian (and you won’t see that written very often) in which it literally meant to drink. To grok is to gain an instant deep spiritual understanding of something or to establish a rapport with somebody.

Burma

I have always been intrigued in Burma. I came close to traveling to Burma in March, 1988  but  failed to get a visa to visit the country. While trying to get to the Burmese embassy, we got suck in a massive traffic jam in a tuk tuk in Bangkok. (Bangkok is known for its' traffic, pollution and especially tuk tuk exhaust--like so many Asian countries I have traveled to.)

When we finally arrived at the Burmese embassy it was closed . Later we learned that this monstrous traffic jam was caused by a huge student demonstration protesting outside the embassy...This was moments before the 8888 uprising.

Triggered by brutal police repression of student-led protests causing the death of over a hundred students and civilians in March and June 1988, widespread protests and demonstrations broke out on August 8 throughout the country. The military responded by firing into the crowds, alleging Communist infiltration. Violence, chaos and anarchy reigned. Civil administration had ceased to exist, and by September of that year, the country was on the verge of a revolution. The armed forces, under the nominal command of General Saw Maung staged a coup on September 18 to restore order. During the 8888 Uprising, as it became known, the military killed thousands. The military swept aside the Constitution of 1974 in favor of martial law under the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) with Saw Maung as chairman and prime minister.

Here we are 20 years later...

The demonstrations, which at their height early last week brought an estimated 100,000 people into the streets of Yangon to demand an end to military rule, were sparked by widespread anger over steep fuel prices in August and swelled as Buddhist monks took a leading role.

In an effort to shut down the flow of news from the closed and tightly controlled nation, the authorities have cut off Internet connections and have harassed and arrested local journalists.

Because I'm the MOM

Good Monday Morning.

Some motherly humor that a dear friend passed on to me. This one is for all my fellow mothers. Enjoy.
