Alzeimer’s – a kind of diabetes of the brain, where brain cells die because they can no longer take in glucose. Consuming coconut oil (a medium chain fatty acid) provides an alternative fuel that may revive brain cells to greatly improve the condition of the patient.
Cancer is the disease characterized by abnormal, uncontrolled growth and division of cells, which can create tumours that severely block the functioning of healthy cells. Unfortunately, it often takes 20 years or more for a tumour or other symptoms to show up in a medical screening. Everyone has some cancer cells in their body. Normal, healthy cells grow and divide at a normal rate, and they are pre-programmed to die so to make room for newer, growing healthy cells. If a cell’s DNA becomes corrupt, the immune system should kill it before it can block the functions of healthy cells. Cancer is caused by environment. The healthy cell that finds itself in an unhealthy surrounding attempts to “adapt” to the unhealthy environmental conditions in an effort to survive.
Cancer’s 3 main causes are: toxins, acid, and low oxygen. (toxins in the air, drinking water and in food and “medicine”, acid produced by stress and mass-produced “food” and lower levels of oxygen, due to an acidic diet and shallow breathing. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for his discovery that cancer thrives in anaerobic (without oxygen), or acidic, conditions. CANCER CANNOT LIVE IN AN ALKALINE BODY (pH 7.36). The higher the pH, the higher the concentration of oxygen molecules.
Preventing cancer is better than curing it. Every cell (including cancer cells) have a cannabinoid receptor that waits for a cannabinoid from the cannabis plant. If the cell is cancerous, it either becomes noncancerous or dies. Other plants such as dandelion tend to work synergistically to defend the body against acidity, low oxygen, toxins and stress. Some of the best-known and most highly-recommended herbs for fighting cancer are: aloe, cayenne pepper, ginger, curcumin, garlic and basil.
Other ways to prevent cancer and improve your health:
Breathe slowly and deeply. Remind yourself to do this by placing a letter “B” around your home and office.
Drink the cleanest, fluoride-free water possible, and choose organic vegetables and fruits, while avoiding grains, sugars and processed foods as much as possible.
Use natural healing herbs together for their synergistic effects. If the use of cannabis is illegal in your jurisdiction, please write to your lawmakers, and demand that they make this important herb available to everyone. Many jurisdictions allow the medicinal use of cannabis for treating the symptoms of cancer, but healthy people should be pro-active in eliminating cancer cells before a tumour can form.
Since stressful situations will inevitable arise, learn to observe these situations without accumulating the tension inside you. If stress does accumulate in you, it is important to utilize a stress-elimination technique, such as the healing system that I developed, as often as needed (if the technique is done correctly, most people only need one session per year).
Candida is a kind of yeast, whose overgrowth may be at the cause of some common health problems including fatigue, headache, and skin problems, but more studies are needed to provide the evidence that the symptoms are in fact caused by an imbalance in the intestines.
According to Dr. Tullio Simoncini of Rome, Italy, the candida albicans fungus is always present in cancer patients. He further states that cancer is a direct product of the candida fungus, and therefore the most effective way to eliminate cancer would be to eliminate candida. His method involves alkalization with baking soda.
Celiac diseases – a reaction to eating gluten, found in all grains, damaging the lining of the small intestine thereby preventing the absorption of vital nutrients.
Cold (the common cold, AKA nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis) – is caused by a viral infection. Remember that antibiotics do not work on viruses. Concentrated oregano oil is a potent natural remedy that seems to work very quickly to eliminate the cold virus.
DiabetesMellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes is where the cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced (this is known as insulin resistance). High blood sugar is dangerous. Minor symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst and increased hunger. Major consequences include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure, and retinal damage. Traditional medical treatment includes insulin injections, while natural doctors recommend correcting the diet and lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation and exercise.
Influenza – the flu – similar to the common cold but with fever, the flu is also caused by a viral infection. Antibiotics are therefore useless. Concentrated oregano oil is a potent natural remedy that seems to work very quickly to eliminate the flu virus.
Insomnia – the inability to fall asleep or to stay sleeping. In most cases, mental stress is the primary cause. Patients normally confirm that while trying to sleep, the brain constantly chatters on about an endless stream of things to do, financial problems and the like. Insomnia upsets the natural balance between body, mind and spirit. During the day, the body and mind are in “control”. But at night, while the body and mind lay in bed, it is the spirit’s turn to take over. Unless the patient is unable to sleep, in which case the body and mind refuse to surrender. This can lead to depression and other serious problems.
Obesity
Having an excessive amount of body fat. A person is considered obese if he or she has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater.
Osteoarthritis
Also called “degenerative arthritis” mostly affecting middle-aged and elderly men and women. In some, osteoarthritis may affect the spine’s facet joints, making it extremely painful to bend or twist. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage to break down and away from the joints. Stripped of their protective material, the joints begin rubbing against each other, causing pain and impeding movement. This action further irritates the surrounding nerves. Advanced forms of spinal osteoarthritis lead to disc collapse and other problems.
Osteoporosis
A disease characterized by the loss of bone density, resulting in brittleness; most commonly affecting the spinal vertebrae, wrists and hips.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An inflammatory disease that affects the facet joints in the spine as well as other joints in the body including the hands, elbows, shoulders, fingers and toes.
SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression common in northern climates where the cold weather leads to a deficiency of sunlight. A tropical vacation is the surest way to beat the winter blues, but if that isn’t possible, many have experienced relief using full-spectrum lights, which attempt to mimic the function of the sun in providing a wider spectrum of lights as compared to the standard “yellowish” incandescent bulbs or the “blueish” fluorescent bulbs.
Toxemia – the most common disease in the world. We eat, drink and breathe toxins. The kidneys cannot eliminate them all. The excess passes from the blood to every other organ, and the buildup causes most of the diseases one may encounter in a lifetime.
More diseases to be added to this section soon…
La enfermedad de Alzeimer – un tipo de diabetes del cerebro, donde las células cerebrales mueren porque ya no pueden tomar la glucosa. El consumo de aceite de coco (un ácido graso de cadena media) proporciona un combustible alternativo que puede reactivar las células cerebrales para mejorar en gran medida el estado del paciente. Vease este video
El cáncer es la enfermedad que se caracteriza por el crecimiento y la división anormal y descontrolado de las células, lo que puede crear tumores que bloquean severamente el funcionamiento de las células sanas. Existen más de 100 tipos diferentes de cáncer. Algunas tumores demoran hasta 20 años o más para aparecer. Todos tenemos algo de cáncer.
Formemos cánceres microscópicos en nuestro cuerpo todo el tiempo, sin saberlo. Este hecho no deberia asustarle. Al contrario, debe saber que su sistema inmunológico es sumamente capaz de derrotar a las células cancerosas! Estas ultimas son muy debiles en comparacion con las celulas sanas!
Las células cancerosas aparecen como una mutación genética de una célula sana en respuesta a su entorno. Esto quiere decir que la célula sana que se encuentra en un ambiente poco saludable se “adapta” a las condiciones insalubres que la rodean, en un esfuerzo para sobrevivir. Las 3 principales causas son: las toxinas (en el aire, en el agua y en los alimentos), los ácidos (producido por el estres y por una mala alimentacion) y la falta de oxígeno (debido a una dieta ácida y una respiración poca profunda).
Enfermedades celíacas – una reacción a comer gluten (encontrado en todos los granos). La enfermedad daña el revestimiento del intestino delgado evitando así la absorbsion de nutrientes vitales.
Resfriado (nasofaringitis, rinofaringitis) – es causada por una infección viral. Recuerde que los antibióticos no funcionan en los virus. Aceite de orégano concentrado es un remedio natural potente que parece funcionar muy rápidamente para eliminar el virus del resfriado.
La diabetes mellitus es un grupo de enfermedades metabólicas caracterizadas por hiperglucemia. La diabetes tipo 1 es cuando el páncreas no produce suficiente insulina. La diabetes tipo 2 es donde las células no responden a la insulina que se produce (esto se conoce como resistencia a la insulina). Azúcar en la sangre es peligroso. Los síntomas menores incluyen micción frecuente, aumento de la sed y el hambre aumenta. Consecuencias más importantes son la cetoacidosis diabética y el coma hiperosmolar no cetónico. Serias complicaciones a largo plazo incluyen enfermedad cardiovascular, insuficiencia renal crónica, y daño retiniano. Tratamiento médico tradicional incluye inyecciones de insulina, mientras que los médicos naturales recomendar la corrección de la dieta y el estilo de vida como dejar de fumar y hacer ejercicio.
Influenza – el gripe – similar al resfriado, pero con fiebre, la gripe también es causada por una infección viral. Los antibióticos son por lo tanto inútiles. Aceite de orégano concentrado es un remedio natural potente que parece funcionar muy rápidamente para eliminar el virus de la gripe.
Insomnio – la incapacidad para conciliar el sueño o para permanecer dormido. En la mayoría de los casos, el estrés mental es la causa primaria. Los pacientes normalmente confirman que mientras intentan dormir, el cerebro constantemente les parlotea acerca de un sinfín de cosas que hacer, los problemas financieros y similares. El insomnio altera el equilibrio natural entre cuerpo, mente y espíritu. Durante el día, el cuerpo y la mente están “en control”. Pero por la noche, mientras que el cuerpo y la mente estan en la cama, es el turno del espíritu para tomar el relevo… A menos que el paciente es incapaz de dormir, en cuyo caso el cuerpo y la mente se niegan a rendirse. Esto puede llevar a la depresión y otros problemas graves.
SAD (en ingles, Seasonal Affective Disorder) – Trastorno Afectivo Estacional, un tipo de depresión común en el norte, donde el clima frío da lugar a una deficiencia de la luz solar. Unas vacaciones tropicales suelen ser entre las mejores maneras de vencer la tristeza del invierno, pero si eso no es posible, muchos han experimentado alivio usando luces de espectro total, que tratan de imitar la función del sol, prestando un espectro más amplio de las luces, en comparación con las bombillas incandescentes (amarrillas) o las bombillas fluorescentes (azules).
Toxemia – la enfermedad más común en el mundo. Comemos, bebemos y respiramos toxinas. Los riñones no pueden eliminarlos todos. El exceso pasa de la sangre a todos los otros órganos, y la acumulación de estas toxinas causa la mayoría de las enfermedades que uno puede encontrar en la vida.
Tuleina is the ancient system of natural medicine of the Kuna tribe. It is administered by ‘neles’ or kuna doctors that are born with the special ability to match physical, mental and spiritual illness with nature’s medicine, herbs from the jungle. In the kuna tribe, these seers are usually women, and they work closely with their husbands to offer their healing service to their fellow tribe members and to visitors from all over.
I was informed by my Panamanian doctor friends that the kunas possess a miraculous substance called tuleina, which allows their women to enjoy painless childbirth. My friends also informed me that although many Panamanian doctors have witnessed these drug-free painless births on many occasions, so far the recipe has been a secret held only by the neles.
In 2003, I became friends with Nele Lopez (pictured left) and her loyal husband, Laurencio. This couple lives in a ghetto outside Panama City called Loma Coba, which belongs to the city of Arraijan. In light of the information that I received with regards to the secrecy of the kuna medicine system, I was careful not to ask them for their coveted formulas. I learned the reason for their reluctance to disclose this vital information: to prevent pharmaceutical giants from bastardizing ‘God’s medicine’ by creating a synthetic version of the real thing, which is then withheld from the poor people of the world.
For more than a decade, Nele and Laurencio and I have gone on healing missions together. We’ve delved into jungles together and filled my SUV with healing plants that they would later distribute amongst their patients. Over the years they also witnessed my willingness to treat the poorest Panamanians free of charge, if they suffered from one of the conditions that can be helped using the healing system that I created. Eventually, Nele and Laurencio decided to entrust me with their healing formulas, such that they may be preserved and made available to those in need.
Nele knows an infinite number of plants, many of which even she does not have a name for, so the process for collecting, photographing, naming and sharing this information will be lengthy. Following are just a few plants that we collected from The Lotus Garden in Limon, Panama. Among the following are bona fide cures for conditions ranging from diabetes to erectile dysfunction. According to Laurencio and other elder Kuna men that I’ve met, the Kuna’s natural alternative to Viagra is much, much better than the little blue pill, which only produces a mechanical erection temporarily. Tuleina actually cures the underlying problem, allowing men to perform sexually well into their seventies, with no need for the crutch of constant pill-popping.
A glossary of dangerous substances that can harm your body and your mind.
Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, reduces levels of protective antioxidant Glutathione. According to Hinson and others in the Laboratory of Chemical Pharmacology, when taking smaller doses of acetaminophen, glutathione detoxifies the acetamenophen thus keeping you alive. But with higher doses of acetamenophen, there is not enough glutathione to protect you. According to Dr. Parris M. Kidd in her article entitled Glutathione: Systemic Protectant AgainstOxidative and Free Radical Damage, depletion of Glutathione leads to cell death.
Acetone, found in cigarette smoke, car exhaust, household cleaners and industrial emissions.
Aflatoxin, found in moldy nuts.
Alcohol, a poison that brings down the central nervous system, depletes protective glutathione leads to liver disease.
Aluminum, found in anti-perspirants, cookware, antacids, cosmetics and some processed food.
Aromatic hydrocarbons, found in fuel and solvents.
Arsenic, found in cigarette smoke.
Asbestos, a carcinogen previously used as a building material. If the fine particles are accidentally inhaled, these stay in the lungs causing lung cancer.
Aspartame, an excitotoxin found in many processed foods, especially those marked ‘sugar free’. It has been linked with brain diseases such as alzeimer’s and parkinson’s disease.
Benzene, found in cigarette Smoke and household cleaners.
Cadmium, found in batteries, insecticides and plastics.
Car exhaust, which contains carbon monoxide, benzene, and formaldehyde.
Chlorine, found in swimming pools and tap water. When showering or bathing in chlorinated water, the chlorine is absorbed by the skin.
Cigarette Smoke, which contains acetone, arsenic, benzene, hydrogen cyanide and many more harmful compounds.
Dioxin, a carcinogen.
Excitotoxins, common food additives that over-stimulate the brain.
Fluorine/Fluoride, a neurotoxin found in toothpaste and tap water. When showering in fluorinated water, the fluorine is absorbed by the skin. Fluoride is not needed to prevent cavities.
In the following video, Professor Paul Connett tells the disturbing history of water fluoridation.
Formaldehyde, a preservative, used in paints, toners, building materials such as plywood.
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, an excitotoxin found in many processed foods.
Lead, found in paint, dust, soil, water, and old pipes.
Mercury, a heavy metal and a neurotoxin, often used in dental fillings, vaccines, pesticides, smoke from coal plants and trash incinerators. Sadly, this deadly toxin has entered the world’s fresh and salt water, and therefore there is some risk with eating the fish that swim in these waters.
Mono-Sodium Glutamate or MSG, an excitotoxin and a common flavour-enhancer added to many supermarket foods and frequently found in chinese food.
Nitrosamines, found in smoked and cured foods, and processed meat like hot dogs and bologna.
Perchloro-ethane, used in dry cleaning.
Perfluorinated Chemicals or PFC’s, found in non-stick cookware and non-stain carpets.
Pesticides and Herbicides, which directly contaminate those that eat non-organic fruits and vegetables, but also contaminates the air.
Saccharin, an excitotoxin found in many processed foods.
Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC’s, found in cleaning products, paints, strippers and adhesives.

Avoid all processed foods.
In restaurants, ask the staff to avoid MSG.
Prefer fresh, raw, steamed or boiled food over barbecued or charred food, and avoid smoked or cured meats.
Instead of antacids that contain aluminum, use baking soda instead or simply alkalize your body naturally by eating more vegetables, and consuming the right fruits.
Use milk of magnesia instead of anti-perspirant.
Prefer filtered tap water over bottled water, since the plastic bottle can leach dangerous toxins into your system.
Limit your fish consumption and avoid the fatty part, which accumulated mercury and other toxins

Avoid artificial fragrances such as those in candles and air fresheners.
Do not use stain-proof carpets, as the VOC’s will be released into the air that you breathe.
Use VOC-free paint in your home.
IN YOUR YARD
Instead of using pesticides, try using diluted garlic or a mild soap solution.
The following are either plants or the natural substances contained in them. Usually it is best to consume the whole plant, due to the synergies between many natural chemicals that are present in the whole plant. In some cases it is advantageous to use an isolated vitamin or mineral. Please consult with your doctor on the pros and cons of either method.

What follows is an alphabetica list of natural medicine, but I’ve pulled Tuleina to the top (and even given it a separate page) because of its special importance. Tuleina is not a plant or even a recipe of plants, but rather an entire system of natural medicine developed and passed down for thousands of years within the Kuna Tribe, which currently reside in both Panama’s San Blas Islands and in the jungle of Colombia. The Kuna Tribe are known to be without cancer or heart disease, mainly due to Tuleina, which includes a handful of herbs a dn fruits that you already know (such as cacao and basil), plus an unlimited number of plants that no one outside their tribe has ever heard of. I have therefore decided to create a separate page dedicated to the powerful system of healing and life preservation known as Tuleina.
Acacia caven
The leaves of this herb are healing and the seeds are used as a digestive. The leaves and stems of this herb have antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing) and soothing properties. Essential oils can be extracted from the flowers.
Annatto – Bixa Orellana

Baking Soda – Sodium bicarbonate
It can be useful to consume pure sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in water, to alkalize the body (including the blood, the urine and the tissues). A similar product called bicarbonate may be better for those wishing to avoid sodium. A half teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in a glass of pure water can be consumed every 2-4 hours. The baking soda will quickly change the ph of the stomach, which can help or cure conditions such as stomach ulcers and urinary tract infections. Baking soda has also been used to treat or cure cancer (see this video by Dr. Tullio Simoncini) and for eliminating kidney stones. Since acidic blood causes the bones to donate calcium and magnesium in an attempt to normalize the blood’s pH, alkalizing the blood with baking soda will allow your bones to keep their needed minerals, effectively halting osteoporosis and some cases of arthritis.
Basil – Ocimum basilicum

Cannabis
Cannabis is an herb that may also be considered a vegetable when its leaves and flowers are eaten in salads or juiced along with other essential nutrients. Its active ingredients, cannabinoids, may be concentrated into capsules and are prescribed by doctors and dispensed by pharmacists as medicine for cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, glaucoma, chronic pain, insomnia, anorexia and many more diseases. (Many argue that the commercially-produced concentrations of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, is not nearly as effective, most probably due to the absence of dozens of other cannabinoids present in the whole plant. These substances seem to work together synergistically.
The non-medicinal cousin of cannabis (hemp) also serves as food, good source of omega-3 lipids and amino acids.Cannabis has been outlawed as an illegal recreational drug in some countries during the last century. Do not use any prohibited substance. Go through proper legal channels instead. Many jurisdictions permit the use of cannabis for health purposes.

One of my family’s all-time favourite desserts is Strawberry-Rhubarb pie, but it turns out that rhubarb combines well with lots of other fruits and berries too. In this recipe, I’ve blended two stocks of rhubarb with a handful each of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, and I tossed in one medium-sized mango just for fun.
The first step is to soak one cup each of almonds and pecans in one bowl, and two cups of cashews in another bowl, for at least a few hours (but preferably overnight) to remove as much of the phytic acid and enzyme-inhibitors as possible. After straining the water that’s filled with anti-nutrients, you’ll be left with just the best part of the nuts: healthy fats and protein, with vitamins and minerals.
The next step is to toss the almonds and pecans in a food processor with about a cup of pitted dates and maybe a half-cup of shredded coconut and process for about twenty seconds. Take the sticky, grainy mixture out of the food processor and push it into a glass pie plate.
Next, squeeze out about half a cup of lemon and lime juice, separating the seeds for planting if possible. Pour the juice into a Vitamix or Blendtec blender along with the rind of half a lemon and half a lime. Add in two stocks of rhubarb, three handfulls of berries and one mango, minus the seed. Add the strained cashews and two heaping spoonfulls of coconut oil… blend until smooth, and pour it into the crust.
Decorate your pie with a few extra berries and refrigerate for a short while… the coconut oil will quickly firm up the creamy filling in the fridge. Your pie is ready. Enjoy sharing it with loved ones.
Un résumé des avantages physiques, mentaux et spirituels du yoga, et une amorce sur les options de style de vie qui vous aideront à atteindre ces avantages et, de préférence, de partager les bénéfices avec les autres.
Les avantages du yoga
Le Yoga offre de nombreux avantages physiques et mentales ainsi que spirituels.
Par rapport au physique, le yoga vous donne un corps plus fort, tonifié, équilibré et libre de douleur. De plus, le yoga prévient et guérit plusieurs maladies, dont les brûlures d’estomac, l’arthrite, le cancer, les problèmes cardiaques, l’hypertension ou l’hypotension, l’asthme, etc …
Quant à l’aspect mental, le yoga soulage votre stress et vous permet de vous étendre pour vivre et dormir en paix.
Le point final du yoga est l’avantage le plus précieux et le plus profond, l’union totale avec Dieu et la création.
Les Yogis, Les Instructeurs et Les Maitres
Un yogi est une personne qui cherche à se connaitre plus profondément, afin de pouvoir unir son corps, son âme et son esprit.
Un instructeur est une personne qui aide un yogi dans la recherche de son centre. Chaque instructeur de yoga est également un yogi ou un chercheur, jusqu’au moment d’atteindre l’objectif final. À ce point, l’instructeur devient un maitre de yoga.
Un maitre est quelqu’un qui a atteint l’illumination ou l’union définitive avec Dieu et la création. Le maitre est en mesure de mener le yogi à son objectif final grâce à des méthodes éssayées, et en suggérant de nouvelles méthodes adaptées pour éliminer les obstacles qui se trouvent sur le chemin de chaque yogi.
Les Différentes Approches du Yoga (A l’unité)
les 10 cercles du yoga
Chaque méthode ou système est appelé “Yoga” lorsque celle-ci aide les yogis a prendre conscience, afin de mieux connaitre leur essence, ou pour unir le corps, l’âme et l’esprit.
Il existe un certain nombre des yogas ou de systèmes déjà connus afin de s’approcher du but final. Cependant, il ya toujours la possibilité que quelqu’un atteigne l’objectif final à travers d.un propre système, qui devrait être considéré comme un yoga neuf depuis le moment de cet événement.
Les méthodes connues incluent les domaines et disciplines suivants:
Domaines et Disciplines
Karma yoga
Le Karma est la loi des actions et des réactions. Les bonnes actions menent au bon. En général, le yogi qui se consacre à donner de manière conscientr fait du karma yoga. Alors que donner et recevoir nous semblent comme deux choses contraires, elles ne font qu’une. La personne qui donne, reçoit automatiquement du bon karma.
Jhana Yoga
Le Jhana Yoga inclut la méditation et les mantras. Le yogi qui pratique le Jhana Yoga cherche la conscience a travers de la réflexion intérieure ou a travers lui-même, et comprend davantage la création entiere.
Bakti Yoga
Le Bakti c’est la dévotion (au Dieu, au Seigneur, au gourou). Le bon croyant de toute religion pratique du Bakti yoga, meme s’il ne l’appele pas ainsi. Il est important de remarquer que pour être un yogi, il n’est pas nécessaire de changer ses croyances religieuses.
Hatha Yoga
Le Hatha Yoga est un système des postures corporelles et des respirations contrôlées afin de guérir et équilibrer le corps ainsi que l’âme. .
Chakrasana
Les asanas ou postures servent a étirer et renforcer tous les muscles et simultanément les purifier des toxines.
Les exercices de respiration aident le yogi a contrôler son niveau d’énergie, car l’air est chargé du Prana ou énergie pure que l’on peut stocker.
Ashtanga Yoga
L’Ashtanga Yoga est un sentier octuple qui regroupe les deux disciplines de hatha yoga, ainsi que ces six de plus: l’autocontrol de soi même à travers de la discipline et la purification, l’émancipation des cinq sens, la concentration, la méditation et le développement de super-conscience.
Yama
means control or observation. When used by itself, it refers to observing the universe, in general. One can observe areas of “peace” and “non-peace” for example. We humans do love to categorize! We observe that peace is “better” than non-peace. This is a judgement. Despite the bad stigma that people often attach to this word, there is no reason to eliminate judgements altogether.
Niyama is “control or observation towards oneself“. It refers to personal discipline, including hygiene and purifying the body and the mind by eliminating physical toxins and emotional toxins like hatred and pride, passion, anger, greed and delusion. The yogi observes that these emotions are useless and hurtful and replaces them with a greater dedication to that which brings wellbeing and happiness.
Asanas and pranayamas are as mentioned in the section above, hatha yoga.
Pratyahara is the state that is achieved when one is no longer a slave to his or her five nototious senses, namely, touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. These normally dominate us through their frequent requests and complaints. The pleasure that we receive through these five senses is temporary and therefore these senses represent traps in the path towards perpetual joy. (The sixth sense, intuition, does not require disconnecting.) The yogi finds within himself a joy to which he or she always has access, including when the five senses would otherwise signal a lacking.
Darana – concentration. This can be used as a “platform”, from which one can more easily “climb” to a state of meditation.
Dhyana – meditation. Meditation more closely resembles “observation” than “relaxation” although there are many meditacion groups that focus on the latter.
Samadhi – superconsciousness achieved through profound meditation.
Kundalini Yoga
Le Kundalini Yoga est un système d’éveiller et d’augmenter l’énergie le long de la colonne vertébrale. Le praticien ressent une sensation forte et unique à chaque fois des salves d’énergie grâce à un autre chakra (imaginez un orgasme dans le cœur!). Les chakras sont des roues d’énergie, similaires aux ronds-points qui relient plusieurs rues de la ville à fort trafic. L’énergie tourne autour au lieu de s’arrêter et de départ, à un feu rouge.
Tantra Yoga
Le Tantra est la plus haute forme de cultiver l’énergie à l’intérieur de ses effets de guérison sur soi et les autres. Dans le Yoga Kundalini, l’énergie de guérison est éveillé et distribué. Dans le tantra yoga, l’énergie de guérison est multiplié et transformé en toutes les autres énergies. Tantra est souvent commercialisée comme une pratique sexuelle. C’est une aberration pour dire le moins. Bien que l’apprentissage Tantra Yoga sera indéniablement aider votre vie amoureuse d’innombrables façons, vous trouverez encore plus d’avantages dans tous les autres domaines de votre vie. Et, bien que le yoga consiste essentiellement à «unir», il ya de nombreuses pratiques tantriques qui peuvent être pratiquées même en l’absence d’un partenaire.
Où pratiquer le yoga, et avec qui?
Vous pouvez pratiquer le yoga (l’unité) sur votre propre en tout temps, sans avoir besoin d’un instructeur. L’unité est votre essence, et l’essence de l’univers entier. Par conséquent, vous devez pas aller n’importe où pour trouver un exemple d’unité.
Yoga a deux
Si vous souhaitez pratiquer des postures physiques, il ya des écoles de yoga sur presque chaque coin de rue dans de nombreuses régions du monde (Etats-Unis et au Canada, par exemple), et dans d’autres pays où les écoles de yoga ne sont pas tellement omniprésent, il ya encore plusieurs options. Ces écoles seront probablement axées presque exclusivement sur la posture physique et la respiration. Pour profiter de la classe, entièrement, de comprendre où la plupart des enseignants et des étudiants viennent de … il est décidément peu judicieux de les défier sur les concepts évoqués lors de la classe prévue. En dépit d’un point de vue général que les yogis ont tendance à être “ouvert”, l’inverse est souvent le cas quand un savant yogi est contesté sur ses connaissances acquises. Si vous êtes enclin à un défi à quelqu’un, s’il vous plaît quelqu’un défi qui ne sera pas offensé par cela. Comme moi, par exemple.
Si vous avez un partenaire ou un groupe, vous pouvez partager l’expérience et les bienfaits du yoga, en pratiquant le yoga-à-deux. Posant ensemble n’est pas seulement artistique, elle fournit également un soutien et un défis supplémentaire d’une manière qui accroît les avantages pour tous les intéressés.
Arts martiaux et le yoga sont deux systèmes populaires qui tentent d’aller bien au-delà de l’exercice physique à entour des exercices mentaux et physiques, cultiver l’équilibre et la génération de la conscience.
Grand Master Albert Mady
Les deux systèmes sont basés sur le principe intemporel de l’observation et le contrôle du flux d’énergie. Un vrai maître des arts martiaux et le yoga ou est un maître de la vie.
Qu’est-ce que le yoga?
Le yoga est l’union. Il s’agit de réunir tout ce qui semble être séparé, de reéquilibrer ce qui semble déséquilibré, de guérir ce qui semble malade; revenir à l’origine de la création. C’est la dernière étape de l’évolution humaine.

Le point final du yoga est l’avantage le plus précieux et le plus profond, l’union totale avec Dieu et la création.
Love is the most important thing in the universe. In the unlikely event that one could exist without love, to put it lightly, such a life would be unpleasant. Love is the foremost emotion; it puts your energy in motion. Love is the action that creates the feeling known as love. This key point proves that love is sustainable. And yet Mother Teresa noted “There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation than for bread.”
And she reminds us that there is no excuse for not loving:
“The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”
In The Art of Loving, Fromm writes:
The most fundamental kind of love, basic in all types of love, is fraternal love. By this, one understands a sense of responsibility, care, respect and knowledge with respect to any other human being, the desire to promote his or her life… if I have developed the ability to love, I cannot avoid loving my brothers… this is based on the experience that we are all one. The differences in talent, intelligence and knowledge, are negligible compared with the identity of human essence that is common to all men.
Love is not essentially a relationship with a specific person; it is an attitude, an orientation of the character that determines the type of relationship that a person has with the entire world, not with a single “object” of love. If a person only loves one other person and is indifferent to the rest of his fellow men, his love is not true love, but rather a symbiotic relationship, or an amplified selfishness.
The Chemistry of Romantic Love
Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in New Jersey distinguishes three chemical stages of romantic love: lust, attraction and attachment.
Lust is driven by testosterone and oestrogen. Testosterone is important in both men and women.
Attraction brings an intoxicating cocktail of neurotransmitters called ‘monoamines’. In love, one prefers their partner over food, over sleep, over air. The most reserved individuals stay one step shy of mental madness. Dopamine is also activated by cocaine and nicotine. Norepinephrine, also known as adrenalin, turns up the heat to induce sweat and gets the heart throbbing. Serotonin induces a kind of temporary insanity.
Attachment is a bond that keeps couples together for the purpose of raising to have children. Two hormones, Vasopressin and Oxytocin are involved. Oxytocin is released by the hypothalamus gland during child birth and also helps the breast express milk. It helps bond mother and child. It is also released during orgasm and creates an intimate bond. More intercourse; deeper bond.
On Giving and Receiving
Fromm may have said it best:
Giving produces more happiness than receiving, not because of deprivation but rather because in the act of giving is the expression of my vitality… In the sphere of material things, giving signifies being rich. He that has a lot is not nearly as rich as he that gives a lot.
But Osho says we need to re-wire ourselves to love, because we all started as a needy baby. As he says in varying degrees it is the problem of everybody. Everybody wants to be loved, that is a wrong beginning.
The first experience that settles deep in his unconscious is that he has to get love… And everybody has the same urge to get love… So all are asking… and there is nobody to give because everyone was brought up in the same way. SO START GIVING LOVE.Forget about getting, simply give — and I guarantee you, you will get much. But you are not to think about getting. You are not even indirectly, by the side, to watch whether you are getting or not. That much will be enough disturbance. You simply give, because to give love is so beautiful that getting love is not so great. And this is one of the secrets.
Osho says ‘Be An Emperor, Not a Beggar’
GIVING LOVE IS THE REALLY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE, because then you are an emperor. Getting love is very small experience, and it is the experience of a beggar: Don’t be a beggar! At least as far as love is concerned, be an emperor, because it is an inexhaustible quality in you. You can go on giving as much as you like. Don’t be worried that it will be exhausted, that one day you will suddenly find, “My God! I don’t have any love to give anymore.”
LOVE IS NOT A QUANTITY; IT IS A QUALITY — and a quality of a certain category that grows by giving and dies if you hoard it. If you are miserly about it, it dies. So be really spendthrift. Don’t bother to whom — that is really the idea of a miserly mind: “I will give love to certain persons with certain qualities.”
You don’t understand that you have so much… YOU ARE A RAIN CLOUD. The rain cloud does not bother where it rains — on the rocks, in the gardens, in the ocean — it doesn’t matter. It wants to unburden itself. And that unburdening is a tremendous relief. So the first secret is: Don’t ask for it, and don’t wait, thinking that you will give if somebody asks you. Give it!
Sleep is important for several reasons, the majority of which are well-covered by medical experts. Dreaming is the most important benefit of sleep, yet it is largely forgotten by the medical community.
The Lotus Lifestyle includes adequate sleep and that sufficient importance be given to one’s dreams.
The Importance of Dreaming
Dreaming and mining one’s dreams for consciousness is useful in accomplishing one’s earthly mission. Working with dreams is also called Yoga Nidra. While you dream, your spirit is freed from the control-freak brain and obedient body, which chases after the every whim of the brain while ignoring the desires of the spirit. The deep desire of the spirit is the reason that you are here.
The Importance of Sleep
A good night’s sleep is often credited with a host of physical and mental health benefits. Among these benefits are restoration, energy conservation and avoiding the dangers of the night.
Bodily Restoration / Re-energizing
Studies suggest that sleep replenishes our energy and helps us to restore our health. But energy replenishment and health restoration also occur while you are awake. I suggest that proper breathing (while insisting on pure air) is the best way to recharge your body, and one should learn how to avoid wasting energy, such that the surplus can accumulate.
Every time you inhale, the lungs take in some vitally-charged oxygen, and other gases including toxic carbon monoxide gas. The purest air that’s highest in oxygen, as well as deep, belly-breathing will optimally recharge your energy level, and full exhalations will maximize the expulsion of toxins from the cells and through the lungs.
If one largely breathes “on autopilot” during the day, their daytime detox and recharge will be mediocre or poor. Sleeping would give slightly better results and conscious re-energizing breathing techniques would create the best results.
Energy Conservation
While you are sleeping, energy usage is minimized. According to Harvard Medical School, the metabolism may slow down as much as ten percent. Although this is statistically significant, ten percent less energy usage does not seem important enough to be the prime motivator of sleep. But even a modest savings of energy, when coupled with the slow re-charging effect of breathing while sleeping,will produce a positive net energetic effect.
It is certainly possible to minimize energy waste while awake. Fasting saves the energy that would be invested in digestion, but most people are not willing to forgo the pleasure of eating… this luxury has been taken for granted by most cultures for many years. Other ways to conserve energy are by observing your posture, your thoughts and other habits. Taoist and tantric masters know the value of retaining vital fluids including semen and blood.
Avoiding the Dangers of the Night
Our ancestors may have needed to avoid being eaten by lions, whereas in modern times man is his own hunter. Police and hospital statistics indicate that most accidents and violent crimes happen at night, which may give early sleepers a better shot at surviving in an increasingly dangerous world.
In practical terms, most people have certain bad habits that, were they to continue uninterrupted by sleep, their health would be in serious jeopardy. For example, the habitual smoker or drinker, if sleepless, would likely continue intoxicating himself all through the day and night. Sleep thus functions as a kind of insurance policy that protects us from perpetually repeating our bad habits.
Dreaming is the Key to Good Sleep
If we could all learn to breathe better during the day, to observe our posture and its effect on our energy, and to eliminate all bad habits that cause disease, then we could strike those three reasons from the list of reasons why we need sleep. But we would still need to sleep. Why? Because dreaming is the key to good sleep…
If you get a reasonable amount of sleep, and yet still feel tired, you may be able to solve this problem by learning to work with your dreams (yoga nidra). And if you do not get enough sleep, then it is very likely that you are missing out on the invaluable benefits of dreaming.
Yet studies, articles and books on sleeping frequently understate or ignore the importance of dreaming. Most studies relating to sleep will focus on measurable data like the number of hours or minutes one is alseep, or the release of certain hormones such as melatonin, cortisol, human growth hormone (HGH) and serotonin. No study that I am aware of has properly considered the importance of dreaming. And it is for an obvious reason: the value of the dream is immeasurable!
Sleep (or Dreaming) is Necessary to Maintain Sanity
One study nearly identified the value of dreams. A group of people volunteered to ‘sleep’ in a special sleep laboratory. Then, as each one dozed off, the scientists would promptly wake them back up to ensure that they could not properly get into the dream state. Within two weeks, all of the subjects went insane. The scientists concluded that sleeping and dreaming are both necessary to maintain sanity.
The problem with the study is that the generous volunteers that lived as laboratory animals for two weeks were at once deprived of their sleep, their dreams, and in effect all of their freedom.
Freedom is indispensable to maintain sanity. And dreaming is among the surest ways to free the soul.
Sleep inspires insight.
The above is the title of a 2004 german study that would be more aptly named ‘dreaming inspires insight’.

So What Happens While You Dream?
When you lay your body down to sleep, your mind goes with it. In fact, your body and mind go everywhere together. These two are married. That is to say that they are connected ‘until death’. But this marriage is not complete without the soul. In fact, this ‘third member’ should be considered the most important part of the marriage. Unfortunately, the soul is often considered a ‘third wheel’ in the ultra-exclusive relationship between body and mind. The soul is ignored during all waking hours. To keep the Universe in balance, the body and mind necessarily must lay down together so that the soul can ‘fly solo’ for a while. During this solo flight, the soul is unrestrained by the normal limitations of the body. There is no logistical problem in getting from place to place, and there is no lineal time. This means that in a 5-minute nap, your soul can have the experience of having traveled to another continent (and maybe even another planet!). To get a similar experience that includes the body would require first buying a ticket, driving to the airport (or rocket launch site), hours of waiting, hours of flying… time and money and the coordinated effort of many people! But despite the great cost of the voyage, the benefit is usually greater than the cost. Claiming such an experience in a 5-minute siesta sounds to me like the epitome of efficiency!
Yoga Nidra
The healthiest relationship between your dream state and your waking state is that one is a continuation of the other. Imagine a dolphin swimming near the surface of the ocean towards the sunrise… the dolphin may jump in and out of the water but the overall direction is fairly consistent. Compare this against a circular system where the dolphin jumps out of the water towards the sunrise then switches directions upon re-entering the water. This dolphin exerts the same energy but does not advance. Such is also the case for humans that spend their days not following their dreams.
The seeds, leaves and roots contain alkaloids theobromine and caffeine which has diuretic and vasodilator. Antitumor activity was found in the root and bark. The seeds contain fat (cocoa butter) are used in pharmacy as an emollient and for making ointments and creams. Dry skin, burns, dandruff, dysentery, measles, snakebite. Diuretic effect of theobromine is accompanied by an inflammatory action on the kidney have therefore recommended in cases of nephrosis and nephritis. Overall, cocoa is slightly tonic and stimulant, although in large doses or in sensitive individuals, can cause insomnia and tachycardia.
