I can tell you the true story a Hopi healer told me. He spent 7 days preparing for a ceremony. He fasted, he dried certain grasses and prepared certain potions. He made a special altar and really worked strenuously for 7 days to have everything perfect. On the morning of the 7th day he went out at sunrise and began his chanting and singing and prayers and doing all these actions and he went on and on for hours.

Nearly all marketing based upon persuasion attempts to instil, sometimes very subtly, the emotions of fear and feelings of sexual inadequacy in its audience. Pay attention to the adverts on your telly or in the newspaper this week (what to speak of the vast amount of Internet marketers) and see where you can spot this for yourself.
Now the trouble with this is that, while the short-term benefit for businesses is that people might buy their products and services, the long-term effect of this kind of marketing is that it actually makes us ill as a society. When we are continually being fed messages of fear and inadequacy, it makes us feel disconnected from ourselves, each other and the planet at large. It renders us feeling powerless and insecure at a very deep level.
The Tarot's four suits cover human experience pretty well. Beyond the cerebral communication of Swords, there is the material plane covered by Pentacles, our emotional experiences covered by the suit of Cups, and our creative nature, which is expressed in the Tarot by Walking Sticks or Wands. All of our thoughts, ideas and conversations exist in a sphere of reality that is neither tangible nor emotional. The Tarot deck expresses this phenomenon as a Sword. Your thoughts are truly the only thing you have to yourself. Information is different than other things you give away. When you share information, another person has it, but you still have it too. Information catalogued in our brain feeds cerebral thought. This exists without having an emotional side, although our thoughts are often inseparable from feelings. Our ideas often lead to creative expression or manifest as plans to make money or advance our social interactions.

Many people stop Meditating after a while because they do not start in the proper way. They choose the wrong course, read the wrong book, speak with the wrong people, sit uncomfortably or view it as an obligation.
One should not forget meditation is an ancient practice and has always proved beneficial to those who practiced it in a right way. Experience shows that if you practice meditation long enough, you are sure to see significant changes in your health and life.
Here is a list of precautions that one should keep in mind in order to reap maximum benefits out of meditation.
Kitchens are considered one of most important rooms in the house. They represent the hearth and home and should be clean, well-lit, happy places for friends and family to gather and connect.
They are also a key place for you and your family?s health, which is closely connected to wealth. Having good health is paramount if we are to be able to successfully go out into the world and make a living.

The ancient pagans, Druids, Egyptians, and Chinese, celebrated the Winter Solstice, (Dec. 21st), the day of the year that the Sun begins its ascent in the sky, thereby ushering a fertile time of planting and bountiful harvests. Hence, the evergreen tree represented eternal life and the promise of replenishment during the cold winter months Apples and other fruit were hung upon the tree to represent the plentiful food to come. Candles were lighted to symbolize the warmth and brightness of the sun. While the Christmas tree is generally associated with Christ, it predates this religious figure by many centuries.

About ten years ago, a group of doctors consulted with a music therapist who provided an outline for a community music session designed to reduce stress and promote feelings of well being. The study, called Composite effects of group drumming music therapy on modulation of neuroendocrine-immune parameters in normal subjects (Bittman et al, 2001), showed that an hour of group music making (including humor and guided imagery) with a music therapist has the potential to positively affect the immune system, which could result in health benefits for the participants. Other forms of music making, such as group drumming under the guidance of a recreational drumming instructor and shamanic drumming, did not produce the same positive results. The question then becomes: What factors resulted in the positive outcomes?

As the planets circle about and move through the signs of the zodiac, everyone is affected by their locations. While most people know their zodiac sign, not many know what their ruling planet is. Do you? Each sign of the zodiac is ruled by one of the planets. The assignment of these planets goes back to the most ancient astrology texts and was already ancient knowledge even then. These rulerships are, in fact, cornerstones of astrology and provide a deep insight into the personality of each zodiac sign.
This is the first Salon of several to come this year in which the theme is exploring the experience that is commonly referred to as the ?journey into your inner consciousness.? My experience in the field of human consciousness, which is now quite extensive, has convinced me that most people are unclear about this ?journey? and for several good reasons, I might add. And because these reasons are so valid, I thought that I would write a series of Salons taking you on this journey into your consciousness, as if we were walking into our inner world together. I want you to imagine that you are gathered together in a room filled with fellow travelers, which is essentially a lovely way to look at the adventure of life. As with all great adventures, we begin with an opening discussion describing the nature of consciousness as well as where we are going on this inner journey and what we can anticipate. And then what is expected of you, the pilgrim on the journey.
