Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Fontanel of Youth & Longevity. How Nature Renews You Constantly (or Can Do). Dear Friend, The oldest recorded person to have ever lived was a French woman named, Jeanne Calment, who reached the age of 122 years and 168 days. One of the images of her on a google search shows her puffing away on a cigarette. Clearly science doesn't know everything about ageing and longevity. Maybe it was her genes. So if you've inherited genes for longevity from your parents you can probably run a lap of honour. And if you haven't you can also run a lap of honour. But for a different reason. According to a leading authority on the science of ageing , Professor Rose Ann Kenny, in her bestselling recent book, Age Proof, exercise has a huge part to play in your health and longevity. But still, science doesn't know everything. The wiki page of one Sri Chand says he was born on 8th September 1494 and died (or, according to reports, simply disappeared) on 13th January 1629. That would put his age at about 133 years. But that's not the remarkable thing. The remarkable thing is that, again, according to reports, he had the appearance of a youth when he disappeared.  And what was his secret? He was a siddha - a perfected kundalini yogi. So every time you sit and meditate, you may well be adding to your store of youthful ageing; as well as adding to the collective human gene pool for longevity. More below.

Press Pause - 21 Count  to Mental Silence (A Guided Meditation). Beat the distraction for a minute by pressing pause on your thinking. It's sometimes advised to count to 10 to avoid reacting to a provocation. Surprisingly, it does work. Here's using the same technique to arrive at a state of mental silence; except that I do the counting for you ...silently. How Nature Renews You Constantly. The body's largest organ is the skin, so the effect of the human ageing process is visible there  - especially the face. With kundalini awakening, a meta-process kicks in which has a 'rasayana' effect (anti-ageing). The result is that the visible effect of your daily kundalini meditation is on your face.

Quote of the Week   "When Kundalini reaches Sahasrara and opens your fontanel and [vibes] start flowing through you, then ..these vibes gradually start breaking into their subtler form [of the 5 elements -tanmatras]. The subtle of the light element is 'tej', which gives radiance to your face. And the subtle of the water element is [emollience] which softens your skin." December 16th 1998, New Delhi (India). "I had a deep experience when I first came to the meditation session and could really feel the cool on my hands and on my head.

Achieving Your Health, Wealth & Happiness By 10-Minutes Daily Thoughtless Awareness. Heart Over Matter. How To Change Things You Have No Control Over. Dear Friend, In January 1896, British troops occupied the tribal land of the Ashantis. This was to persuade them, by threat of force, to surrender themselves and be absorbed into British colonial rule of the then Gold Coast (modern-day Ghana). The proud Ashantis were having none of it and so staged a rebellion. In the ensuing violence, the Ashanti King and his deputies were captured and deported to Seychelles a small island off the coast of Ghana. The Governor of the Gold Coast at the time, Sir Frederick Hodgson, then travelled to Kumasi, the capital of Ashanti , to assert his dominion in a speech given to the remaining leaders of Ashanti. In his speech he demanded that the heart and spiritual symbol of the Ashanti nation, the Golden Stool, which was said to have been conjured from heaven by a magical shaman , Akomfo Anokye, be brought to him or else. With the Ashanti leaders left in a stew as to what to do: whether to give up their heart, the Golden Stool, or fight and face deportation themselves, a lone woman, Yaa Asantewaa, spoke up to fire up defiance. Her taunt of the men present was (roughly translated): " If you guys are afraid to fight then you can wear my panties and I'll wear your loin-cloth and I'll go and fight" ("Montu mo danta mma me na monnye me tam"). Yaa Asantewaa led the battle in what became known as the Yaa Asantewaa War of Independence. She was eventually captured and exiled to Seychelles where she died October 17th 1921. The Ashanti nation became semi-attached to the Gold Coast colonial administration but it was the beginning of the end . In 1957 the Gold Coast threw off the yoke of colonial rule, renaming herself, Ghana, and  becoming the first African country to gain independence. Frederick Hodgson never did get his hands on the Golden Stool. Times are different and challenges may seem much less dramatic but there's an essential courage and determination that the Kundalini gives to your heart  with daily meditation, that allows you to change the things you have no control over.  More below. Also below: Read a sample from Kate Mosse's book which includes Yaa Asantewaa; and a guided meditation for bringing peace at home by putting peace into your stomach. Best wishes P.

Unsung Heroines - Click to Read Sample of Kate  Mosse's New Book .  The energy of your centre heart chakra is visualised in yoga as goddess Durga. She rides on a lion or tiger, 8-armed and holding weapons.  She makes you fearless. Certain historical personalities have embodied her eg. Joan of Arc, Lakshmibai (Queen of Jhansi). Many of them are footnotes in history or have been written out of the historical narrative altogether. Kate Mosse reclaims their stories here... Kitchen Cabinet - Clearing Your Left Nabhi Chakra For Harmony @Home. The kitchen is usually regarded as the heart of the home. It's also, according to surveys, where most domestic arguments take place - bills, unwashed dishes and food gripes.

So if you want to ensure domestic harmony, you could start by clearing your left nabhi with this short guided meditation... How To Change Things You Have No Control Over.

I mean, I work like that and you should learn this trick - how to desire. But desire should be pure desire, then Kundalini works it out." January 6th 1990, Ganapatipule (India). "Why is the awakening of the kundalini a central part of Sahaja yoga meditation if the practice of any form of mindfulness (without the need for kundalini awakening) has been shown to have benefits?" In Reply: The benefits from mindfulness proves the importance of Sahaja yoga. This is because it's a Law of Nature* that if something is so demonstrably beneficial to the species then it should be as effortless as breathing and happen en masse. Kundalini awakening makes mindfulness ( 'anchoring yourself in the present moment') effortless and en masse. *Evolutionary Adaptation  - Future Survival of Humanity Click Here For Tues/ Thurs Live Group Guided Meditation & Music (Audio) Living Your Best Life Mind Rest.
