Dalai Lama - Advice on Dying

February 8th, 2007

“Everyone dies, but no one is dead, ” goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Dalai Lama’s ‘Advice on Dying’ takes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare’s ‘little death”).

The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of traveling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment. Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that eternal bliss.

How To Clean Your Yoga Mat

February 6th, 2007

The type of yoga mat cleaning that is right for you can be determined by the type of mat you have. The material of which your mat is made can help determine which cleaning method is best suited to prolong its life, and give you the best results. The most common material for a yoga mat is thick cotton with a non-slip backing that will stay in place while you practice your positions. Cotton yoga mats can easily be cleaned at home; all you have to do is throw it in the washing machine, or wash it by hand if you have the time; although this is unnecessary in most instances. Either way is fine as according to the care instructions that come on the mat or the packaging. Most of these mats are made for home cleaning with washable fillers in them.

The Health Benefits Of Relaxation And Meditation

February 1st, 2007

Although there is not universal scientific agreement on the health benefits of relaxation and meditation, anyone who has used the simple and powerful techniques thinks the same thing. The benefits are real! The real problem is that there is so much money to be made from anything that will make people feel better. We are so stressed in our high energy daily lives, that even taking a few moments to clear the head can have dramatic results.

Meditation Classes

January 23rd, 2007

I was a wreck, and I mean that.  I’d been working for 60 hours a week for the past year, living in a small flat in New York City, and it was all starting to catch up with me.  My blood pressure was skyrocketing, my cholesterol was awful, and I was suffering from heart palpitations.  My doctor said that he could give me medicine if I wanted him to, but that it all basically came down to one thing: I needed to learn how to relax, or I would die early. I tried all kinds of things to relax, but nothing worked until I found meditation classes.
