The trivia facts alone for pyramids make it hard to not bat an eye or read on with slack-jawed amazement. Pyramids have their claim in many different cultures, the Japanese included! The shape itself and the blueprints for pyramid design involve much more than just a simple building. Turns out, in a lot of ways, the pyramids were designed with the intention of harnessing energy!
Just recently it was discovered the very shape of a pyramid was designed with the intention to send and receive electromagnetic signals. Apparently, Tesla himself had stumbled upon this back in his heyday, conducting several tests in which he discovered the potential for energy inputs and outputs related to the pyramid shape. This is known as Pyramid power. It involves seemingly supernatural and paranormal properties that can allegedly preserve food, improve health and cause other dramatic effects. The shape of a pyramid itself acts much the same as the cone/funnel shape that is considered to be energetically equivalent to the shape of pyramid. The shape of a pyramid serves as an amplified-receiver of various kinds of electro-magnetic and gravitational waves, electrical discharges and cosmic rays that surround our planet. This is science, people! And it’s been around for quite some time! Knowing what we know now, the possibilities and the potential for the pyramid shape have just begun to scratch the surface. It isn’t inconceivable to think that we are slowly and surely paving the way for energy and resource alternatives that have, ironically enough, been right in front of us for the past hundreds and thousands of years.

written by: Amanda Johnson MYTHOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF AYURVEDA LORD DHANWANTARI FATHER OF AYURVEDA: Regarded as the origin of Indian medicine, Dhanwantari has many myths surrounding him. In Ancient Hindu mythology, the world had been flooded by an ocean of milk and the nectar of immortality had been lost. The continuing struggles between the Gods and Demons had made the Gods weak and tired from old age and disease, with no other choice they invited the Demons to help them in the churning of the cosmic ocean of milk, looking for the lost secret to health and longevity.
Dhanwantari was elevated to ‘Physician to the Gods’ and worshipped as ‘Lord of Medicine’ and is still regarded in India as the patron-god of all branches of medicine. DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF AYURVEDA The first documented history of Ayurveda begins in the time of the Vedas (books of knowledge). These are the four ancient Holy Books of the Aryans or “noble ones” and these are where mythology becomes philosophy. The four Vedas namely Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Arthava Veda were written approximately three to five thousand years ago and they all contain medical knowledge based on the principles of Ayurveda, but especially Arthava Veda. Around this time in ancient civilizations there existed ‘rishis and munis’, these were learned saints and sages whose sole purpose was to devote their existence in understanding the realities of the world. Their native home was Aryavarta, the land of the Aryans, which covers the Himalayas and surrounding areas, presently known as India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and Bangladesh. This ancient Aryan civilization was strongly influenced by the remarkable intellectual contributions of the saints and sages, who in their realization that sickness was a major factor in not being able to attain liberation, became physicians to help their people. The Sanskrit word for physician is Vaidaya, meaning wisdom. The historical record of Ayurveda begins with a medical conference in the Himalayas as described in the collection of medical writings called the Charaka Samhita. The author was a devoted student who talked of a large group of sages and saints who came together in the valley of the Himalayas to share and compile knowledge that had been passed down, mostly orally, from generation to generation within the different civilizations within the area. The participants engaged in long discussions and debates and formed committees to compile the full texts about the different subjects of Ayurveda. Two of the texts are still followed by today’s students when studying Ayurveda: the Charaka Samhita, the text of internal medicine and the Susruta Samhita, the text of surgery. Students learning about Ayurveda using the Guru-Shishya method, the passing of knowledge from guru to students via oral tradition WHAT IS AYURVEDA? Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which means Ayur, life and Veda, knowledge….knowledge of life. It has its own style, art, tradition and rules of healing and believes more in disease prevention than in curing. The foundations of Ayurveda lie in physics and metaphysics. Basically, ‘the process of creation and the journey of consciousness as it evolves into matter” (Dr. Vasant Lad). The journey of conscious into matter here in space time, is called the third dimension. This dimension is composed of 5 fundamental elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether. Every living thing in this world, every manifest creation, is made up of these elements in varying proportions. Ayurveda calls these fundamental elements the ‘panchamahbutas’. We as humans are composed of a unique compilation of all 5 elements, in individual and different ratios. Known in Ayurveda as Vata, Pitta and Kapha, these individual ratios account for our difference in size, shape and behavior, our inborn nature if you like and, in theory, if the unique and naturally inborn nature is maintained, we will experience physical health, mental clarity and emotional harmony. However, in the modern world today, there are many obstacles that disrupts us and throws us off balance. Ayurveda concerns itself with restoring individuals to their ideal inborn ratios. Practices used in Ayurveda are vast as food, action, idea and feeling are analyzed. Wellness is not seen as a destination at which we arrive, it is an ongoing flow of fine tuning and adjustment. The real genius behind Ayurveda is the concept of proper diet and lifestyle choices. DIET ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA Ayurveda emphasizes that a diet must be properly selected and wisely formulated, not only according to our unique individual ratios – Vata, Pitta and Kapha, but also to our digestive strength. Our diet should also compliment seasonal and daily changes. In modern science food is classified according to their chemical composition- carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins etc. In Ayurveda, classification is based on the biological action of food and its taste before, during and after digestion and the effect that it has on our digestive system. The Ayurvedic diet is about guiding rather than setting rules. Its main concern is about the balance of the meal and the inclusion of all the tastes - sour, sweet, salty, pungent, bitter and astringent. Food groupings contain different ratios of the 6 tastes, as well as being governed by certain qualities. In this way, Ayurveda understands how the body responds to our diet, provided that our food is chosen in accordance to our unique individual ratios. If we choose a food that is similar to our own qualities and take it in abundance, we will only succeed in increasing that particular quality within us, leading to an imbalance. The same can be said for not having enough of a certain quality, leading to its depletion. This maintenance of finely tuned balancing will extend to every organ and system in the body. ‘The only species that becomes nutritionally deficient is the human species, and we do so because we have completely lost touch with the inner wisdom of our bodies’ ~Ayurvedic proverb ~ anonymous THE 6 TASTES AND THEIR DEFINITIONS
As a system Ayurveda places emphasis on the maintenance of health as opposed to curing disease. As such, Ayurveda is now considered holistic in its philosophy and approach to living. In the world today it is attractive to many people and there are hundreds of options available to those who would like to know more. Please be aware that with popularity comes dilution, and the ‘business’ element takes over. Please research thoroughly into practitioners and physicians before embarking on expensive and sometimes unnecessary treatment plans. Ayurveda is an ancient art and tradition which has stood the test of time and deserves its respected place as the world’s first ever medical system.
These plants tend to store energy in the taproot and have hollow stems with ample greenery. The poisonous varieties can be difficult to tell from safe wild varieties – wild carrot, for example, is almost indistinguishable from hemlock. Over the years, there has been some debate as to whether you can eat the green leaves. Yes, you can! Despite the presence of celery and carrot in the ‘Apiaceae’ (umbellifers), many other members are highly poisonous, but not the carrot. They are edible and highly nutritious, rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. The tops of the carrots are loaded with potassium which can make them bitter, so use of them in food is limited.
Carrots are an important vegetable because they are high in beta-carotene, a substance that is converted to Vitamin by our bodies. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that may help to fight cancer, brain and heart disease. Carrots are also rich in fiber, and fiber is low in calories and fat. Fiber helps in weight loss because the body does not digest it, it simply passes through. Carrots come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Most people like to grow the classic variety, which is long and slender. COMPOSITION OF CARROT LEAVESCarrot greens contain:
GROWING CARROT LEAVES
1. Till the soil down to a depth of six inches and work three inches of compost into it. 2. Now make a mound which is four to six inches high and about three inches wide. 3. Leave a furrow between this mound and the next one. This helps to make sure that the carrots have proper drainage and that they grow straight and tall. 4. Plant the seed along the top of the mound in a furrow that is ½ inch deep. 5. Keep the carrots weed free or the antioxidants will take all the water and nutrients and the carrots will be unable to thrive. 6. Carrots should be ready for harvest 70-80 days from planting. They should be 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Any bigger and they will be tough. 7. Loosen the dirt around the carrots before pulling to make sure the root does not break off. 8. To store carrots, remove the tops. Wash the carrots and store them in the bottom of the refrigerator. They will store longer if you place them in a plastic bag. WHAT TO DO WITH CARROTS?
HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING CARROTS AND THEIR LEAVESThe following are the health benefits of eating carrots and their leaves:
From their milk, skin, and meat, and somewhat easy maintenance, you can find that a goat can be a provider of multiple services for these households and more in certain parts of the world that lack certain conveniences that we have.

Written by: David Gibson What is Sound Healing? Sound healing, through various techniques and technologies, is the educated and conscious use of sound, music, and intention to reach identified goals and promote wellness in the human body, including the expansion of consciousness.
Sound Healing works at each of these five levels. To put it in perspective, music therapy normally deals only with timbres, musical intervals, and music. The field of Sound Healing includes timbres, intervals and music, yet also focuses on specific frequencies and commonly uses energy and intention. The most basic concept of Sound Healing is that when you play consistent or coherent vibration it resonates that stability and peace into a person physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is not about a “higher vibration,” it is more about stability and peace. This is the natural state of every part of the body from the cell to heart and brain – consistency of vibration. Stress, fear, anxiety, and anger (to name a few) create chaotic vibrations that are not in alignment with natural consistent state of the body. The second concept is that everything also has a resonant frequency that it prefers to vibrate at. Every part of the body is the healthiest when it is vibrating at its own natural resonant frequency. When you find that natural frequency of a part of the body, you can play that frequency into the body and entrain it back into its natural healthy state. This next concept is that harmony also creates peace and stability. Harmonious musical intervals and chords also resonate their energy into the body at every level. The most important concept is a smooth flow in music also creates peace and flow in a human being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Smooth flow is defined as change that is not too abrupt – exactly like the flow commonly found in nature. Certain music resonates this consistent flow into the body – also create peace and stability, the state in which the body’s immune system flourishes. The Science It is well documented, both scientifically, clinically, and anecdotally that sound and music have positive physical, mental, emotional and spiritual impact on human beings, animals and plants. There is very credible research and science that definitively demonstrate the positive physical effects of sound on humans. Traditional science have long described exactly how sound physically affects matter. There are many well-defined laws of physics around resonance, which is commonly defined as how one vibration affects another. There is also credible research and science on how sound, music and rhythms affect humans mentally. EEG monitoring has been used to identify brain rhythms during which, scientists and researchers can see precisely how different sounds, rhythms, and music positively influence and transform these rhythms, helping improve specific human physiological functioning. It has been clearly established in the medical and scientific community and different rhythms are helpful for sleep, creativity, learning, focus, and thinking and many more important cognitive functions. There is much research regarding how sound and music affect humans emotionally. We all know intuitively the power of music on our emotions. Music can get us excited, calm us down or even bring us to tears. Music is particularly useful for transforming depression, anxiety, anger, and fear irrespective of age, gender, culture, religious orientation or belief. The science of emotions is now becoming more definitive as the California organization, HeartMath (https://www.heartmath.org), is well along in clinical research that shows how emotions manifest in human physiology. We can now see precisely which components of sound and music are affecting which emotions. There is some science around how sound and music affects humans spiritually based on quantum physics. There is definitive research that proves that a consistent intention creates a change in any person – not just emotionally, but also physically. Even though attributes like the soul or spirit have not yet been proven by science, there are many anecdotal stories about people throughout the ages having what are referred to as “spiritual transformations” from both sound and music
APPLICATIONS OF QI GONG Qi Gong goes back to Shamanistic practices in Chinese culture and then evolved incorporating both Buddhist and Taoist applications used to treat and prevent illness and for use in the martial arts. In the US, Qi Gong is normally practiced in health clubs and fitness centers where adherents think about their breathing, concentration and focus points as they carry out a series of slow, careful and controlled movements. They focus a lot on the flow of Qi throughout their bodies, and in some cases, they concentrate on specific areas that need healing. Around the world, there are currently thousands of forms of Qi Gong which are in practice, with each school having its own distinct style FORMS OF QI GONG There are many forms of Qi Gong practiced throughout the world, among which are:
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF QI GONG
To the Chinese, we are not a body that has energy rather we are energy that has a body. It is interesting that Western Medicine is based on Newtonian Physics which looks at the body like a machine, but Chinese medicine is based more on Quantum Physics that states that when a matter is broken down into its smallest components (Quanta) all that is there is energy. Only now is Western Medicine staring to understand that the mind and body are connected but that philosophy is an underlying factor in Chinese Medicine. HEALTH BENEFITS OF QI GONG The effectiveness of Qi Gong has been proven in China by its beneficial impact on the health of millions of people over thousands of years. Reports from proponents of Qi Gong, says that anyone can benefit from it and improve their health, regardless of their background or expertise in the area. The objectives are to release a free energy flow when the Qi has been blocked by disease, injury, stress etc. Because Qi Gong includes both dynamic and gentle techniques that can be practiced from standing, seated and supine postures, it is suitable for young and old. Practices can be tailored to individual needs making it an ideal aid to recovery from illness or injury. Qi Gong is a form of complementary medicine. It works well with other forms of therapy and should never be used as a substitute for necessary treatment by a physician. The health benefits of Qi Gong include:
If everything is energy, that makes Qi Gong one of the most important practices we can embark on to plug in, recharge and energize our lives! It is my personal belief we should all have the practice to help us tap into our authentic selves and Qi Gong can be a tool to open the door to miraculous wonders. |
