The shadow is the name given in Jungian psychology to a complex of unacceptable feelings and impulses that function as an inner opponent, blocking growth and full expression of one's true self. By recognizing and integrating this inner adversary, however, people have the potential to also use it as an ongoing ally – a spirit guide - to self-discovery and personal growth.

To learn how to connect with and benefit from the spirit guide, EarthRise Retreat Center at the Institute of Noetic Sciences is offering a unique opportunity to learn guided alchemical divinations from consciousness science visionary Dr. Ralph Metzner. During Integrating with Your Shadow, Connecting with Your Guide, a weekend workshop April 13 to 15, 2012, Dr. Metzner will lead rhythmic rattling and drumming to support the process of concentration and tracking as well as practices of light-fire yoga to help purify and clarify perceptions and dissolve energy-blockages. He also will include chanting and drawing for aural-vocal and visual-spatial integration and application.

Early bird registration for the workshop is $ 295 available through March 19, 2012. Thereafter, the regular fee is $ 325. Fees include the program and 6 freshly prepared meals. Onsite lodging is $ 75 per person per night for a shared room or $ 99 per night Read More @ Source

Perfect Yoga Exercise for Beginners

Posted: 05 May 2012 05:00 PM PDT

Beginner Yoga Exercises

If you are new to yoga and looking for good exercises and poses in order to start your practice, I certainly recommend the poses detailed in the following article – Basic Yoga Poses for Beginners. One of the great things about yoga is the wide range of exercises and positions that it offers, so in addition to the poses given in that article, there are many other great beginner's yoga exercises as well and in this guide I am going to detail one of my favorite for you.

This particular exercise is called Yoga Rowing and it is part of another great beginner's yoga set called the Morning Wake-Up Series | Yoga Poses for Beginners. In fact it is the first exercise of that set and it is very often the first exercise I begin my yoga routine with as well.

One of the great things about this exercise is that it is an easy motion which can be done by yogis of all levels and of all ages. In addition, this exercise is wonderful to warm-up with and it has the dual advantage of being a strengthening and stretching exercise. If you are a beginner or out of shape and looking to get back into fitness then Yoga Rowing is a perfect place to start.

As with all yoga exercises, breathing is a key component of this movement as well so be sure to pay special attention to that aspect. Also, as you might be doing this exercise first, be sure to start off gently and them extend the range of the movement as you feel you mu! scles st arting to warm-up.

More Yoga Exercises and Poses:

In addition to the 2 beginner yoga sets I pointed out above, you will also will find plenty of yoga poses and exercises in the following 2 free online galleries. There you will find both, starter yoga exercises and poses, as well as more advanced one. Free Hatha Yoga Galleries and Free Kundalini Yoga Exercises.

For Yoga and Yoga Certification Program Students:

For teachers graduating from the Online Yoga Teacher's Training and Certification Program or Online Yoga Certification Program, Yoga Rowing is a great exercise to do early in your class and my students have always loved this exercise. Also, as this is a relatively easy movement to do, all students are generally able to participate. I use it in both my yoga classes and meditation classes as it really is a great way to get a stretch and get the energy moving.

Yoga Exercise for Beginners | Yoga Rowing

Below please find details of how to practice Beginner's Yoga Rowing, along with illustrations, step-by-step instructions, benefits and practice tips.

Yoga Rowing Illustrations

Illustration #1: Back Position

Beginners Yoga Exercises - Yoga Rowing Front

Illustrations #2: Front Position

A. How to Beginner's Yoga Rowing Exercise:

To begin, sit on the floor with your legs together or slightly apart and your knees straight. Also, extend your arms straight out and have your fingers straight and your thumbs pointing up. As with other Kundalini Yoga exercises your eyes are closed. If this makes you uncomfortable, you can also do this exercise with your eyes open and looking straight ahead.
Now begin the motion, by leaning back 30 degrees or so as I have shown in Illustration #1 above. Inhale deeply as you lean back.
Next in! a smoot h motion rock forward coming towards your toes. This is shown in Illustration #2. It is ok if you knees bend slightly as you come forward. Beginners should be careful not to stretch too far. Just forward enough to get a gentle stretch of the hamstrings and lower back. Exhale as you come forward.
Now inhaling again and rock back. And continue the motion back and forth at a moderate pace. Lose yourself to the rhythm.
Soon you should start to feel this exercise working on your abs and you should also feel it in your shoulders. This means it is starting to work, keep going :-).

B. How Long To Do This For:

Beginners might not be able to do more than 15 or 30 seconds and that is perfectly ok. Just take a break and start again. Try to build up to 1 minute and from there build up to 3 minutes. If you really love this exercise, feel free to keep going for even longer. There are no bad affects and it will just make you stronger and fitter :-).

C. Beginner Yoga Rowing Benefits:

Good for stretching the hamstrings and calves.
Builds core strength and helps tone and firm the stomach.
Develops your shoulders and strengthens the deltoid muscle group.
Helps stretch the lower back.
Opens up the solar plexus and frees the body.
Improves respiration and gets the energy going.

D. Practice Tips for Beginners:

Often some parts of your body are not as strong as others, so if you find your shoulders tiring before your abs, you can lower your arms, while continuing to do the exercise. If the abs are tiring you can limit the motion and continue on.
Once you finish the exercise a great addition is to reach forward and grab your toes while keeping your knees straight. If you can't reach your toes, grab your legs as far down as you can. Then inhale completely, hold your breath and apply root lock. Then exhale and inhale again and apply root lock. Do this 3 times. It is a great finish to this wonderful exercise.
Don't forget to do the breathing along with the motion.

PS: If you enjoy this exercise or any other exercise on Mastery of Yoga and Yoga, please do share them with your friends. I appreciate your support.

e-Skillful Means: The online program in skillful means takes a unique look at how to use work as a path of inner realization.

While working, the Skillful Means practices will elicit hidden talents and the promise of the situation. This program can help to give a sense of what it means to have a "good time" at work: joy, satisfaction, meaning, creativity and positive accomplishments.

In trying to do too much in too little time, we can become agitated and upset. When our minds are relaxed and quiet, however, life becomes simple and balanced, free from disruptive extremes. The e-Meditation program explores meditation by refining the breath and developing the mind's ability to practice visualization.

For more information about Dharma Publishing's online programs, visit www.dharmapublishing.com.

Introduced by Tarthang Tulku in the early 1970's, Kum Nye is an ancient Tibetan Yoga practice based on traditional Tibetan medicine. The physical postures and breathing exercises, combined with inner awareness and concentration, align and integrate the physical body and senses with the mind and intellect. In calm and relaxed states of well-being your inner world—the world of the mind, heart, energy and senses—is transformed. As described by a long time Kum Nye practitioner:

"One of the most beautiful things about Kum Nye is just how inspiring it can be, how it wakes up something in you, that part of you that wants to be joyful, it wakes it up and lets it run free like a little kid again." Begin exploration of Kum Nye – Tibetan Yoga with the following exercise:

"Flying"
This posture calms the restless flow of thoughts and generates feeling in the heart center.
1. Stand well balanced with your feet about 4 inches apart, your back straight and your arms relaxed at your sides. Slowly lift your arms away from your sides until they are directly overhead with the backs of the hands facing each other and the fingers straight. Close your eyes and feel the sensations of energy in your body. Relax your thighs and minimize any backward arching in your spine.
2. Slowly open your arms, increasing the distance between them in a balanced and equal way. Take 1 full minute to bring them all the way down to your sides.

Take another minute to move your arms up again. When your arms are overhead, stretch up slightly, keeping your legs relaxed. This stretch clears and settles the mind. Do the movement 9 times.

As you move your arms pay attention to the feeling tones and the flow of energy through your body. As your arms descend let energy flow into your heart center; as you raise your arms, direct energy outward through your fingers. You may feel heat and energy surrounding your arms and hands.

To complete the exercise sit in a sitting posture for five minutes or more, continuing to sense the flow of energy, with breath, body, and mind as one. As a variation try slowing the movement down, taking two minutes in each direction.

The Reality of Truth—a New Documentary

Posted: 05 May 2012 02:00 PM PDT

There is an expanding shift in consciousness taking place right now, and people are looking for a new understanding of life, according to Mike "Zappy" Zapolin and spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, creators of the upcoming documentary "The Reality of Truth." The film, set for release this summer, not only identifies the perception problem plaguing society today, but also analyzes specific techniques to break though to a new reality—one that is more peaceful, tolerant and, when looked at properly, amusing.

"Transcendence is the key to taking off the filters that separate and blind us, so that we can see things as they actually exist," said Zapolin. "There are many techniques people use to transcend—meditation, prayer, dance, music, even psychedelics—and for this film we set out to explore the effectiveness of these different techniques."

Highly controversial in nature, "The Reality of Truth" introduces audiences to the modalities people have used throughout history to transcend into an alternate reality, and suggests these techniques may be the breakthrough humankind needs to move into the future. The film features top religious gurus, thought leaders and scientists, who discuss the prevailing understanding of reality and the methods they invoke to transcend into an alternate reality.

These conversations include a panel discussion with Dr. John Hagelin, PhD and Fred Travis, faculty members of the Maharishi University of Management, and Dr. Norman Rosenthal, author of New York Times Bestseller "Transcendence." The panel was held in Fairfield, Iowa, where thousands of people in the transcendental meditation community meditate together each day. The team also traveled to Maui to speak with legendary spiritual leader Ram Dass, who was with Timothy Leary during his infamous Harvard experiments.

"The Judeo-Christian religions, Vedic traditions, and Shamanistic rituals all incorporate techniques for transcending," said Zapolin. "In the history of mankind, we have tenaciously sought out gateways to spirituality and found them in meditation, prayer and the consumption of natural substances."

Some of the plants that have documented transcending capabilities, according to the film, are: ayahuasca, a giant vine native to South America, noted for its psychotropic properties; ibogaine, a hallucinogenic compound derived from the roots of a West African shrub, sometimes used as a treatment for heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine addiction; the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin found in certain mushrooms, especially liberty caps (aka magic mushrooms); and marijuana.

"When we ingest these naturally occurring substances, we taking in their energy, and it combines with our own," said Zapolin. "When we observe things at the energy level, we realize there is no separation between us and nature. It can help to show us that we are all the same, and that realization is completely liberating.

"In sum, we are all living in a 'fake' reality, but we have the tools to break through and see an alternate reality. This film is aimed at increasing worldwide awareness of transcendence, so that audiences can break through the 'illusion of reality' and move forward toward a more meaningful and peaceful future." Zapolin noted, "One of the more provocative scenes of the film documents me with actress Michelle Rodriguez and MacMillan Publishing's Dan MacMillan participating in a life-changing ayahuasca ceremony with a shaman. It was a mind-blowing experience that I think audiences will truly appreciate."

"The Reality of Truth" is being produced by Kurt Engfehr, who co-produced "Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 911." The film includes interviews with Marianne Williamson; Ram Dass; John Hagelin, PhD; Bruce H Lipton, PhD; Foster Gamble (who recently released the documentary "Thrive"); Charles Grob, MD; Peter Coyote; Lior Suchard; and Ravi Zacharai. Executive producer is Wall Street icon and just capitalist Peter Janssen.

Good Vibes to Beyond Awakening Event

Posted: 05 May 2012 01:00 PM PDT

The Hearts Center spiritual community will be gathering spiritual healers and speakers from across the U.S. in Miami the weekend of March 23-25 for a spiritual conference: "Beyond Awakening: Love, Heal and Thrive: An Experience of Unity and Light on the Path." The conference begins at 2:00 p.m. Friday the 23rd at the Mariott Dadeland Hotel, 9090 S. Dadeland Boulevard, Miami.

The conference will have key teachings and chakra blessings from ascended masters through David Christopher Lewis, spiritual director of the Hearts Center and messenger for the Great White Brotherhood. Besides Jed, other locally and nationally know and gifted spiritual healers, shamans, clairvoyants, musicians and authors will be presenting, including: Donna Ferri, Felipe Alfonso, Theraveda monks, Junia Gail Imel, the Magnified Healing group and Wayne Purdin.

Jed Shlackman is a licensed mental health counselor and hypnotherapist as well as a Reiki master and sound healing practitioner. Jed has a master's degree in counseling from the University of Miami and has been providing holistic therapy services in private practice since 2003. Jed has been exploring spirituality and holistic wellness since completing graduate school in the 1990s and presently offers group workshops and private therapy sessions in Miami, Florida. Jed is also author of the metaphysical guidebook "Consciousness, Creation, And Existence: A Guide To The Grand Adventure," and writes articles as the Miami Holistic Health Examiner for Examiner.com.

Jed will perform a "Vibration/Sound Healing Yoga" Friday evening starting at 8:00, using the sound of special tuning forks and crystal and Tibetan singing bowls for clearing and balancing chakras. The vibrations of these devices produce in listeners sonic bliss, stress relief and transformation. Jed discovered the power of singing bowls during his participation in meditation events. Instantly affected by the bowl sounds, he began exploring how sound resonates through our body's energy systems and through our chakras to positively shift our consciousness. He was attracted to the crystal and Himalayan bowls as tools for soothing and harmonizing our subtle energy centers.

Jed began using vibrational sound healing in his professional practices, observing how it can dissolve tension, entrain brainwaves through binaural sound, balance our chakras and aid in healing. He learned that our DNA and cells use both light and sound to communicate and transfer information.

Later in the conference, on Sunday afternoon, there will be an entertaining interactive session with author and National Alternative Religions examiner Wayne Purdin on "The Wonderful Wisdom of Oz" that will examine L. Frank Baum's popular folktale in the light of ascended master teachings. It will show conferees how they can, like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz," transform their thoughts and feelings through purifying and balancing their heart, will and mind with the violet flame and other spiritual techniques so that they can ascend and go home.

Finally attendees will unite in a "Circle of Oneness" for ascended master Melchizedek's blessing and challenge to "Be Initiates!" closing and sealing the weekend event. Everyone will be invited to meetup and continue co-creating their experience of heartstreaming with their angels and the ascended masters in a growing Miami heartfriends community.

The Hearts Center Community connects many heartfriends worldwide whose mission is to realize personal enlightenment and share the ascended masters' love-wisdom teachings throughout the Earth. The community believes that each soul has a personal connection with her Higher Self. With the ascended masters as examples of selfless living, each individual may advance in personal discipleship toward the goal of the ascension through study, devotion and service to life.

Join the ascended masters and many fellow spiritual seekers in Miami from March 23 through 25 at the Mariott Dadeland Hotel, and go Beyond Awakening to co-create together an experience of unity and light through heartstreaming with each other, the angels and ascended masters, and through meditation, Magnified Healing, healing sound and radiation, song, movement and mantra.

Akasha Soul Celebration: Core Rejuvenation Retreat

Posted: 05 May 2012 10:00 AM PDT

Akasha Entertainment, LLC, announces the availability of new lower-priced ticket packages for The Akasha Soul Celebration: Core Rejuvenation, a unique weekend retreat with author and filmmaker Carolyn Cobelo, taking place April 26-29, 2012 in Haiku, Hawaii. This event offers an opportunity for participants to explore their connection to spirituality and to the Earth in a unique collective group ceremony. A free public event on April 26, 2012 has just been added, and daily ticket passes start at $ 95, and can be purchased online at www.HawaiiSacredJourneys.com.

The Akasha Soul Celebration will include group activities such as spiritual ceremonies conducted at Maui sacred sites, meditation and chanting, fire dancing, and volcano ceremonies. Author and spiritual teacher Carolyn Cobelo, facilitator of the ceremony, describes these activities as "vehicles to reach higher dimensional energy, to assist ourselves and the Earth in immediate transformation."

As the director of the award-winning documentary film "Sacred Space: Searching for the Source," and author of 1999's "The Power of Sacred Space: Exploring Ancient Ceremonial Sites," Cobelo is one of the world's foremost experts on the Earth's ceremonial sacred space. She is particularly impressed with Hawaii. So much so, that she recently completed her second documentary film in Hawaii, Sacred Space: The Magical Land of Hawaii. In January, Cobelo and her husband moved their metaphysical media company, Akasha Entertainment, LLC, to Haiku, Maui. "Hawaii has a certain sacred power and spiritual resonance that is much stronger than most other places around the world," she said.

Carolyn intends to offer Akasha Soul Celebration participants an intimate, personal experience of sacred space. "Ancient cultures built temples over cracks in the Earth's mantle. Due to shifts in our global civilizations, these places were abandoned and left dormant for thousands of years," Cobelo said. "The creators of these temples knew that at the right time, the energy and information of these places would be known to all who open their hearts and listen. I believe that time is now." She went on to say that it is of utmost importance that the sacred places around the world be protected and respected for the delicate healing treasures that they are.

Cobelo, with a Masters in Clinical Social Work, has transitioned over the years from practicing as a Gestalt and Transpersonal psychotherapist into a spiritual facilitator who leads people to sacred sites to "help individuals find their own inner intelligence and power," she said.

Cobelo has a 30-year history of producing events that blend metaphysics and entertainment, including two highly successful metaphysical film festivals in Santa Fe, NM and Carmel, CA. The film festivals featured such luminaries as actresses Shirley MacClaine and Lindsay Wagner, producer Stephen Simon and many other accomplished metaphysical film producers, directors and actors.

"People are hungry to find ways to facilitate their own direct experiences of spiritual power and wisdom," Cobelo said. "Many cultural institutions, which in the past have provided security, are breaking down so that we can give birth to new forms that honor the universal right to know the Divine. The Akasha Soul Celebration, Core Rejuvenation is oriented toward creating opportunities for people to discover their essential divine essence."

Husband & Wife Discovers Path to Extraordinary

Posted: 05 May 2012 08:00 AM PDT

When Michael Taylor, M.D. of Connect with Spirit™ came out as a medical intuitive and energy healer and left his N.C. practice in 2006, he began a journey to explore alternative paths to wellness‚ ones that did not involve taking medications, and ones that assumed personal responsibility for one's health. Ultimately, it led him to Australia.

With a struggling global economy, skyrocketing healthcare and insurance costs, people need simple, cost-effective ways to be and stay healthy. Rediscovering non-medical techniques including meditation, assisted intuition and spiritual healing among others, "Dr. Michael" found benefits beyond improved physical and mental health, including proven business results, such as: increased productivity and profit, and a significant decrease in staff sick days and workplace injuries.

"He's the real deal," Dr. Wayne W. Dyer said to a Sydney audience about Dr. Michael and his medical intuition after he performed his didgeridoo-based spiritual healing on the inspirational author in 2010. Dr. Michael says, "Everyone has intuition and gut feelings‚ only most ignore them with disastrous results. My life became extraordinary when I embraced my intuition and spirituality. I learned my "good guesses" about the very private lives of complete strangers were true. So, I began incorporating spirituality into my life and developing my intuition – to help others and to help me understand myself. Because, quality of life is much more important than longevity."

Dr Michael's psychic-medium wife, known to Australians as "K, the clairvoyant and channeler" believes, "Understanding ourselves is so important, especially with all of life's rapidly changing technology, social and financial stressors. Also, everyone can live a happier life if they apply our simple but effective methods, not just the spiritualists, meditation teachers, psychics, and angel therapy practitioners. Ordinary people live extraordinary lives when they improve their intuition and natural psychic abilities."

K and Dr Michael of Connect with Spirit™ are teaching for the first time in the USA the I Connect with Spirit Intuitive Workshop at the Sheraton Garden Grove Anaheim South Hotel, near Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. This psychic development and intuitive skills workshop runs daily from 9 AM-to-5 PM, April 20, 21 & 22, 2012, and is open to all adults over the age of 15. No experience is necessary.
