GLIMPSES

In moments of deep love there are glimpses of the original face, although those glimpses are coming as reflections. Just as on a full moon night you see the moon reflected in the lake, in the silent lake, so love functions as a lake. The moon reflects in the lake is the beginning of the search for the real moon! You will go again and again into the lake to search for the moon because in the beginning you ll think this is where the real moon is,, somewhere deep down at the bottom of the lake. You will dive again and again and you will come up empty-handed; you will not find the moon there....

Then one day,..it will down on you that maybe this moon is just a reflection. That is a great insight- then you can look upward. For the first time you look upward, and the journey has started!

Love gives you glimpses of meditation!............  ..     OSHO..

Liberation - the stage of nothingness........

moksha the ultimate goal of life

Reaching moksha - the liberated Atman soul... an Atman soul that has finally liberated from the cycle of birth and death gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God. Ever since the individual piece of puzzle separated from its source... the effort of every Atman soul remains rejoining the complete puzzle at the earliest!

 Moksha - gaining Mukti... liberation from the bondage of karma... from the vicious cycle of birth and death forever! This becomes possible when human beings after establishing absolute control over five senses and mind reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... the stage of nothingness... the stage of absolute wisdom!

Controlling five senses and the mind alone does not make one reach the stage of enlightenment. One needs practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation! The practice of celibacy results in full awakening of the kundalini Shakti... the dormant cosmic energy lying in the base of spine!

 Let it flow, let it meet with other energies that surround you! Soon you ll be able to see that the problem was not how to become integrated.

There is no effort even of looking at the flower. It is effortless. Your eyes are open, the flower is there....a moment of deep communion comes when the looked at and the looker both disappire. Then there is a beauty. Now you are there and the flower is there, and somehow you overlap each other's boundaries. The flower enters into you, you enter into the flower, and there is a sudden revelation. Call it beauty, call it truth, call it God!

                            The Chakra Zen 

Holistic Healing says.....

The Chakra Zen Incantations listed here were created based on the breath-awareness teachings from Eric Maisel's book entitledTen Zen Seconds: Twelve Incantations for Purpose, Power, and Calm.

To help balance your light body and align your chakra energy system repeat each of the incantations listed below. Speak the first part of the phrase outloud as you inhale. Speak the second part of the phrase as you exhale. Repeat each of the twelve incantation ten times. When you are finished you will feel centered and balanced

(Inhale deeply 5 seconds)(Exhale slowly 5 seconds)

• My energy is free of blockages
• My root chakra is deeply grounded
• My sacral chakra juices are creative and bold
• My solar plexus feels mellow and calm
• My heart is filled with love
• My throat speaks the truth
• My third eye intuits inner knowledge
• My crown chakra projects inspiration
• My chakras are spinning in alignment
• My aura is colorful and clutter-free
• My lightbody beams brightly
• I am centered and balanced

  

Breathwork

Proper breathing enhances many healing modalities including Tai Chi, Reiki, massage, meditation, and yoga.

Repeat this breathing chant until you feel yourself come back into a more balanced and centered place. Bring your awareness to your breath and start breathing in deeply and slowly. On each inhale and exhale say out loud or silently to yourself:

• "I am calm"
• "I allow myself to let this go"
• "I choose peace over this"
• "I am loved"
• "I can love"
• "All is love"

Go back to the beginning statement "I am calm" and continue through them all until you feel your heart open, calm and at peace again.

Breathing Through the Soles of Your Feet

.....stand still and quiet, taking deep breaths (Sun & Earth) but feeling the Earth energy coming up through your feet, spreading up through your body and extending out through your limbs, to finger tips. Imagine yourself as a giant tree, taking in Earth energy through your "roots" (feet) and extending out to the farthest "branches" (fingertips) and beyond, swirling through your merkaba, or energy body, through space and time into other dimensions. 

Feel this Earth energy centering you and going out into all directions. U can hug trees and roll in the grass and feel the Earth energy -- and that's truly wonderful. 

All is energy. We can open our minds to allow integration of what we need or we can use our minds to create blocks, barriers and limits to growth. "Yes, but . . ." is probably the greatest barrier to spiritual growth. Why create a mental mountain? 

To access and use Earth energy wherever you may be, you have only to focus your being on bringing that energy into your mind/body system, through breathing and intent, as described above. Imagine a tendril or thread going from your Root Chakra going deep into the Earth, connecting you, anchoring you. 

.... mysterious powers with the breath!  Pranayama. Prana is the vital force that creates various currents of energy in the body that control many of the unconscious functions that allow the maintenance of the physical body. It regulates the circulation of blood, digests food, affects moods, levels of stress, and these are only a few of the obvious things that are affected by the breath. There are powers that range from reducing the heart rate to enabling the body to smash through concrete bricks, from purifying the subtle body of impurities to healing deep emotional traumas.

This method enables a person to release the locked up emotional traumas that have been repressed by us, so that they stop influencing us from an unconscious level of our awareness.

This process allows for the personal exploration into the unconscious emotional software and energies that are influencing you in ways that undermine your full potential. Many people are in denial about the nature of their inner emotional matrix and have an aversion to delving into what they think may be a heart of darkness. Some people are in denial about the fact that any inner problem may exist. Even if no deep emotional experiences stand out in your awareness because they are made invisible by the veiling power of denial, let me assure you they do exist. They exist from events in this life and they exist from past lives as well, influencing you in this life because they are closely linked to the karma of this incarnation. They have to be taken out of the darkness of your unconscious mind and emotional matrix and brought into your awareness, so you can release the pain and understand the causes of how this pain was influencing your life from that hidden place inside.

Many people want to feel love inside but instead feel numb. The reason for this numbness is because of denial and the many layers of past emotional experiences that block our access to the love within us. We are all worthy of love and long to experience the depths of love we intuitively know exist within. The problem is that until we delve into the emotional matrix and release from our subtle body the toxic emotions, traumas, pain, fear and denial, we will never get to the love. It is the entrance into the underworld of mythology in which the hero must enter if he is ever to regain the light of his tormented soul. It is our birthright to live life to our fullest potential, with a deep love and connected-ness to all living things, especially to each other.

Apple Symbolism

---

APPLE Being almost spherical in shape, the apple signifies totality.  It is symbolic of earthly desires,  or of indulgence in such desires.  The warning not to eat the forbidden apple came,  therefore, from the mouth  of the supreme being, as a warning against the exaltation of materialistic desire.  The intellect, the thirst for knowledge— as Nietszche realized—  is only an intermediate zone between earthly desire and pure  spirituality. — J.E. Cirlot, A Dictionary of Symbols     Philosophical Library, New York, 1962, p. 14 ************************************************************************ APPLE Fertility; love; joyousness; knowledge; wisdom; divination;  luxury; but also deceitfulness and death.  The apple was the forbidden fruit of the Golden Age.  As round it represents totality and unity,  as opposed to the multiplicity of the pomegranate,  and as the fruit of the Tree of Life given by  Iduma to the gods. Eris threw the golden apple of  discord among the Gods. As the apples of the  Hesperides and the fruit of Freya's garden, it symbolizes immortality.  Offering an apple is a declaration of love.  Like the orange, as fertility, the apple blossom is used for brides.  Celtic: The Silver Bough. It has magic and chthonic powers;  the fruit of the Other-world; fertility; marriage. Halloween,  an apple festival, is associated  with the death of the old year. Chinese: Peace and concord.  Christian: Ambivalent as evil  (Latin: malum and the fruit of temptation and sin of the Fall,  but depicted with Christ or the Virgin Mary  it is the New Adam and salvation. An ape with an apple in  its mouth depicts the Fall. Greek: Sacred to  Venus as love and desire; a bridal symbol and offering; the  'apple of discord' was given to Venus by Paris.  Apple branches are an attribute of Nemesis and Artemis  and used in the rites of Diana; also awarded as a prize  in the Sun-bridegroom race as was the olive branch at the Moon-virgin race.  The apple of Dionysos was the quince. The apple tree was associated with health  and immortality; sacred to Apollo. Apple blossom: A Chinese symbol of  peace and beauty.— J.C. Cooper, An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional  Symbols     Thames and Hudson, London, 1978, p. 14 ******************************************************************* APPLE: ping-guo  The best apples used to come from Korea and Japan; the Chinese  apple was not so tasty. Even today,m apples are relatively dear,  and therefore an acceptable gift, escpecially since the apple (ping)  can stand as a symbol for 'peace' (ping). On the other hand,  one should not give apples to an invalid, since the Chinese word for  'illness'— bing— is very similar in sound to the word for apple.  Apple blossom, however, symbolises female beauty.     In North China, the wild apple blossoms in spring, and is therefore a  symbol for this season of the year. The wild apple (hai-tang) may also  symbolise the hall of a house (tang): a picture showing wild apple blossom  and magnolias (yu-lan) in such a room can be interpreted as meaning  'May (yu) your house be rich and honoured!'     The celebrated beauty Yang Gui-fei, the concubine of one of the  Tang emperors, was known as 'Paradise-apple Girl' (hai-tang nü). — Wolfram Eberhard, A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols      Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1986, p. 21 ******************************************************************* APPLE, APPLE TREE: the guarantee of immortality • In Irish tradition, the apple is a fruit that guarantees immortality:  cut in half, crossways, it reveals a five-pointed star, the pentagram,  a symbol of the 'five stations from birth to death and rebirth.' • Apples were part of the Orphic cult and also symbolized the goddess  Venus (to whom they were sacred), who, according to Robert Graves,  'was worshipped as the evening star, Hesper, on one half of the apple,  and as Lucifer, son of morning, on the other. • Jung interpreted the apple eaten by Adam and Eve as a symbol of life. In dreams, a red and green apple is the expression of a harmonious organic life.  A maggoty apple reveals an apparently healthy relationship which has  been eaten away on the inside. — Nadia Julien (Ed.), The Mammoth Dictionary of Symbols      translated by Elfreda Powell (from 1989 Belgian edition)      Carroll & Graf Publishers, New York, 1996, p. 23 ********************************************************************************* APPLES OF THE HESPERIDES A symbol of the buddhis emotions and faculties, the "fruit of the Spirit". "The golden apples which Ge (Earth) gave to Hera at her marriage with Zeus" — Smith's Classical Dictionary The "marriage" is the union of Wisdom (Hera) and Love (Zeus).  Love struggles upward from below to meet Wisdom above;  and Matter (Ge) yields up the results of experience and effort, on to the  Wisdom plane.

Good day!
