Nine Yantras for Inner Peace.

Yantras are sacred geometry similar to Tibetan mandalas. They are utilized in a type of yoga (yogic) meditation especially as one develops the upper chakras or for energetically enhancing the space around them. In Wheels of Life writer Anodea Judith places Yantra Yoga as correlating with the third eye or ajna chakra. Yantras are part of the Indian Tantric tradition of subtle energetic practices.

Tomato Mac and Cheese (GF)

Omg gluten free mac ‘n’ cheese! I can’t even remember the last time I had this; it was years ago! I don’t know how long this Heinz gluten free macaroni has been available, but it’s the first time I’ve personally seen it in my local supermarket. 

Obviously I had to get it and make the delicious tomato & cheese macaroni recipe I used to love. And I wasn’t disappointed. Heinz gluten free pasta are actually really good! And gluten free pasta in general is pretty good these days (if you know how to cook properly, that is!).

Ingredients:

. 250g macaroni (half a bag of Heinz gluten free macaroni)

. 1 onion

. A few garlic cloves (or garlic powder - to taste)

. 4 salad tomatoes

. 1 Tbsp tomato purée

. A handful of fresh basil leaves (or to taste; I like to out a lot)

. A pinch of nutmeg

. 1 + ½ cup milk 

. Extra mature cheddar

. Parmesan (optional)

. Vegetable stock (½ of a Kallo cube)

. Salt & black pepper

. Olive oil

Method:

. Put the macaroni to cook.

. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes in small cubes and finely chop the onion, garlic and basil. 

. Fry the tomatoes in a bit of olive oil in a non stick pan (medium/low heat) until they soften up and are breaking down. Add the onion and garlic and carry on frying for a few minutes. 

. Turn the temperature to low and add the milk, tomato paste, stock, basil , nutmeg and black pepper. Simmer for a few minutes and then add as much grated cheese as you’d like (basically a LOT :D). If you feel like it’s too liquid/the flavour isn’t strong enough, carry on cooking for the sauce to reduce or add more cheese, garlic powder and basil (or any other herbs you’d like).

. Add the the cooked macaroni to the sauce, mix well and serve.

(Makes 2 large portions)

Enjoy!

This is the classic Taoist meditation method for refining, raising, and circulating internal energy via the ‘orbit’ formed by the ‘Governing Channel’ from perineum up to head and the Conception Channel from head back down to perineum. Activating the Microcosmic Orbit is a key step that leads to more advanced practices. Taoists believe that microcosmic orbit meditation fills the reservoirs of the Governing and Conception channels with energy, which is then distributed to all the major organ-energy meridians, thereby energizing the internal organs. It draws abundant energy up from the sacrum into the brain, thereby enhancing cerebral circulation of blood and stimulating secretions of vital neurochemicals. It is also the first stage for cultivating the ‘spiritual embryo’ or 'golden elixir’ of immortality, a process that begins in the lower abdomen and culminates in the mid-brain. This is probably the best of all Taoist methods for cultivating health and longevity while also 'opening the three passes’ to higher spiritual awareness.

Humans have a unique appetite for experiencing altered states of consciousness, and this inclination is evident in many facets of social culture today, such as our attraction to alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, psychedelics, and more.

But is it possible to access these altered states without the help of a substance? Do we all possess the inner mechanisms to heal our latent traumas?

Dr. Stanislav Grof, a 83-year old Czech-born psychiatrist fascinated by the healing capabilities of non-ordinary states, has just the answer to these questions.

The healing of humanity

Increasingly people within spiritual circles are becoming aware of, and speaking out about, “energetic implants” in our energy fields. Working with energy implants is indeed something we do during the Openhand course and one-on-one work.

Implants are prevalent within most, if not all, human beings. They’ve been used as a tool by Opposing Consciousness in the ‘dumbing-down’ of humanity. It’s a subject that needs to be elevated into the group consciousness more generally if we are to catalyse and accelerate our further evolution, that we can heal humanity.

So what are energetic implants? How do they work? Where did they come from? and most importantly of all, how do we remove them?
