| The Wisdom of Surrender: Resistance Equals Persistence Posted: 27 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST Resistance tends to strengthen the energies it attempts to oppose by giving them power and energy to work against. We all know the feeling of being repeatedly haunted by the same issue, no matter how we try to ignore it, avoid it, or run away from it. Sometimes it seems that we can get rid of something we don't want by simply pushing it away. Most of the time, the more we push away, the more we get pushed back. There are laws of physics and metaphysics that explain this phenomenon, which is often summed up in this pithy phrase: That which you resist persists. Resistance tends to strengthen the energies it attempts to oppose by giving them power and energy to work against. Additionally, resistance keeps us from learning more about what we resist. In order to fully understand something, we must open to it enough to receive its energy; otherwise, we remain ignorant of its lessons. There is a Tibetan story of a monk who retreats to meditate in a cave only to be plagued by demons. He tries everything—chasing, fighting, hiding—to get the demons out of his cave, but the thing that finally works is surrender. He simply lets them have their way with him and only then do they disappear. Now, this wisdom must be applied practically. We are not meant to get ourselves physically injured. Instead, this story speaks of how, in essence, our demons are inside of us. What plagues and pursues us on an inner level has a way of manifesting itself in our environment in the form of people, events, and issues that appear to be beyond our control. But all these external expressions are reflections of our insides, and it is inside ourselves that we can safely experiment with surrendering to what we fear and dislike. It may feel scary, and we may find ourselves in the company of a lot of resistance as we begin the process of opening to what we fear. But the more we learn to surrender, and the more the demons that plague us disappear in the process, the more courageous we will become. ~Reprinted with permission from DailyOM Read More @ SourceSHANTI BHAVAN DANCING HOLIDAYS

| Rosamond Gifford Zoo News: Penguin Chicks and Naming Contest Posted: 27 Jan 2012 04:00 AM PST County Executive Joanie Mahoney Introduces Penguin Chicks, Announces Naming ContestCounty Executive Joanne M. Mahoney joined the staff at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo today to announce the earlier-than-usual arrival of the zoo's Humboldt penguin chicks. "I am pleased to announce that five penguin chicks have hatched at the zoo this year," said Mahoney. "It's always exciting when baby chicks are born, and so many in one year is great. We are fortunate to have such a thriving penguin program and the credit goes to our talented zoo staff." Two chicks were introduced at a press conference including the first chick of the year, which hatched on January 9 to parents Wylie and Mara as well as the most recent hatchling, which arrived on January 17 to parents Frederico and Poquita. Three other chicks also hatched on January 13 to Mario and Montana, January 14 to Jake and Bianca and January 15 to Phil and Carmen. Over a seven year span, a total of 34 chicks have hatched. "It appears our mild winter weather started the breeding season a bit earlier than usual. It's very exciting to be talking about penguin chicks so early in the year; perhaps it means spring will be arriving soon," said Ted Fox, zoo director. "It's wonderful that our zoo continues to play an important role in conserving this species. Like the chicks before them, many of this year's babies will eventually end up at other zoos around the country to continue populating the species." Humboldt penguins, named after the Humboldt Current a cold nutrient-rich ocean current that flows along the west coast of South America, are endangered with only 12,000 to 30,000 remaining in the wild. Zoo staff asked the County Executive to name the youngest chick. In accordance with the tradition of giving the penguins Latin American names to reflect the culture of their native countries, Chile and Peru, she named the chick Cocotea. After naming the chick, Mahoney announced the zoo would once again invite the public to help name one of the chicks. Details on the penguin chick naming contest can be found on the zoo's website at www.rosamondgiffordzoo.org/naming-contest. History of the Zoo's Penguin Breeding Program: Year & Number of Chicks Hatched: 2006 – 4: Carlos, Diego, Montaña & Tierra Total number of penguins currently in the colony: 37, Males: 15, Females: 17, Undetermined: 5 Guidelines for penguin chick naming contest: *Suggestions should be sent to contest@rosamondgiffordzoo.org and must be received by 4:00 p.m. on February 2.
