Sea Salt For Hand Pains

The very happy period of the winter feasts is a period of the illnesses like arthritis and similar. Maybe it's for excessive humidity or because we are not so young as once but these days are marked by pains.

Here I want to describe you one of the folk methods to cure the arthritis.

Dissolve 2 tea spoons of sea salt in a glass of very warm water.
Make 8 layers of gauze and wet them in this water. In any case the fabric has to be similar to gauze.
Tie the wet gauze to the hand, cover with towel and leave it so till the morning or till the gauze is dry.

You have to do it for at least 7-10 days.



All the best to all you, my dear friends!

Healing Mudras For Meteodependancy

Mudras can be for rituals and for healing. I want to write about healing mudras here today. Other my posts about them you can find here Mudras (3)

Do you use mudras for healing?
I know about this -and very effective- healing tecnique just different years. Unfortunatelly, forget to use them when I need to cure myself. But they give us wellness even in the difficult situations. My mother, for example, began to use them, when I told her about them, too. She has grave health problems. She found in her books about mudras and learned "emergency mudras", and now uses them, when she begins to feel bad and is far from the medicines. She says, they rescue her life different times.

On my photos are 2 mudras I use when I have shoulder pains (upper) and finger pains (down). They are very useful now, in winter. I'm meteodipendant and the changes of the weather make my life very difficult. It's unpossible to take medicines every time there is bad weather, no? So, this technique is very useful in this cases.

To Choose A Singing Bowl

Singing bowl is an other help for meditation and relaxation, and is used for healing proposes, you know it just. Did you know that they use to heal not only sound but the vibrations too? I decided to make me a Christmas gift and to buy a singing bowl, so I'm studying the question different days.
This photo is from the site Veet.it and there are other photos to demonstrate how it works. I was really surprized to see them. I never thought this vibration can be used this way.

Now I know: there are not only different notes and frequences used for different chakras. There are different sound grades. There are bowls with very pronounced vibration and those that "sing" 1 -3 minutes and more. There are Healing grade and Master healing grade sounds, 80-100 "points". More points -better is the sound.

What I could not understand is that Healing quality and not healing quality bowls had the same 98 -99 points gradation. Maybe the difference was uin the vibration?

Today I found an interesting and really informative video. As in any case, you have to think about YOUR personal impressions if you decided to buy a singing bowl. If your body wants this sound -you can buy it.



Oh, forgot. The sounds devided by chakras.

Marma Points And Pressure Point Fighting

The posts I wrote about marma points seems to be very interesting for the readers of this blog (More about relaxation and healing trouble techniques , About marma points ) maybe it's because I found for them really precious informations. I've seen with my eyes how the simple touch of some points can heal a person from very grave flu situation.

Today I found this video telling about the effect of the use of marma points for self-defence. The master do it without any visible effort... But I have to remember you, it's not so easy as it seems. You will laugh, but there are many persons, specially women that think it's enough to repeat these gestures when it's necessary. Pls don't think so. This is an illusion. To make it so easy this master does it for many many years!

The Secrets Of The Health I Learned

We all know that we have to think about our health. And if you read this blog, you maybe do not believe I do what I write here about.Today I want to show you my personal way to cure my health.

First of all I like honey and all the products of apiculture.
When I wake up I eat pollen for minerals and vitamins. I have every september till may problems with nails. Now after about 2 weeks of "treatment" with pollen, the nails seem to turn hard.

After that I make my breakfast. 2 loafs of bread and honey with milk and coffee.
I buy honey only of the very best quality and normally prefere "special" tastes. In this period you can find honey of this year.
After the operation I wanted to clean my stomach, liver and all my digestive system. So I wanted to find honey of dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale). You know, this plant is used for purifications.

It's unpossible to find this type of honey in this zone, so I studied the offers in internet and found a factory where they produce different "special" types of honey. And than they are situated in the mountains where -I know, I was there- there is not industry etc (Cuneo, Italy).

Here you see the 3 types of honey I bought: Taraxacum officinale, wild cherries and linden. You can see the difference of the color.



I began with cherrie's honey because it's good to cure liver and kidneys. Sincerely, I've never had this type of honey before. Delicious perfume and aftertaste of cherries.



This is milk fermented with Tibetan Milk Mushroom. I drink it for lunch, at 12:00. After that I can remain without other food for 2-4 hours. I'm very happy about it. In the last period for the operation I had to eat and eat and could not stop with eating all the day. It's clear I became obese. I don't like fat on my body, so I was very unhappy about it.





And now the last kick to my obesity: I purchased the interactive course and all the necessessary to practice fitness with step. nfortunatelly my TV has an other system, pending the solution I do exercises with YouTube.



:0))) Would you like to listen to my step music? Great for step, I bet!

You see, I practice what I tell here.

Weight Control And Improve

A very short post to tell you about un unusual weight lose technique.

You can eat everything you want -in reasonable measures, clear. Not some kg-s every time you open the mouth. :0)))

Sweeties only till 12:00. Bread, rise, macaronies for lunch. Vegetables for dinner.
Never eat after 18:00 if you go to bed normally, if you do not sleep till the midnight or later you can ea at 20:00 but never later in any case.

This is from MY experience: a glass of kefir (fermented milk similar to yoghurt) as breakfast is enough to live till 13:00 without "second breakfast".

How To Cure Digestive Disorders

Maybe you would remember I told you that I had grave digestive problems after the anaesthesia. The doctors said me I have avoid medicines to protect my liver. You have to stand any pain, they said. Wait that the problem pass with the time.

It was hard time, I have to say you. I could not eat and felt bad.

So, I remembered honeys.
There are different honeys, you know. Every type has a little different action. One is good for sleep, other is good for other problems. I had a little jar with dandelion honey (Taraxacum officinale). You know, the healing properties of this plant are very important. And it is used as infusion for seasonal cleanings. I began to eat a tea spoon of dandelion honey in the morning and befor I went to bed. Just from the first time I felt better.
I wanted to know more about this type of honey (I have special literature) and found that it is used for hepatic problems. I bought other jars of this honey and ate it till the digestive disorders passed.

Tibetan Milk Mushroom

Photo

Yesterday I received finally my Tibetan milk mushroom and put it in the milk. Probably it's too early to tell you about it but I want to introduce the theme.

They say, it is very useful for the health and can help me to restore stomach problems. Here is the quoter about it:

"Its draw helps to restore an organism in the postoperative period promoting healing of wounds.It treats such diseases of gastrointestinal tract, as gastritis, pancreatitis and also exacerbation of ulcer. " (Source)

I have Tea Mushroom and like the drink it produces. The problem is the sugar you need to grow it. I can drink it in big quantities and so I assume too much sugar with it. This one, Tibetan milk mushroom does not need sugar. So I hope to drink it without thoughts about weight.

I'll tell you the story of how I grow and drink this "medicine" in my next posts.
If you use it, pls tell me your experience here.

Aromatherapy For Relax And Good Sleep

Some days ago I wrote about aromatherapy and said, I never use it. Except rare profumes or incenses I normally not like smells. And it is not treue. Not completely true.

Do you remember I bought some stones and aromatherapy objects: incenses and others to resell them ("Mystic Gemstones Blog"). Among others I have "Sleeping stones". What are they? Pumice stones impregnated with pure lavender oil. If you put them in a cup and place them near the head of your bed, you will sleep deeper and the sleep will be more restful. When you do not feel their smell you only shake them and they are refreshed.

In the morning you put them back in their plastic bag and you have them fresh in the evening.

Because I was very busy with the semiprecious stones I forgot completely about them. But this autumn after the operation I could not sleep. I tryed with this or that but than I suddenly saw the box with these stones. I took one bag and now I use it. I have the bag with the stones near the bed and open it in the evening.
They smell very good, I have not problems with it. And I really sleep better in the last period.

More About Sound Healing

I wrote about different possibilities of sound healing in this blog. Drums, music of the nature, metal bowls. Suddenly, I found these other type of singing bowls and an example of the meditation too. I thought it is interesting not only for me.

Those are not metal but crystal bowls and I've never hear about them neither abut the use of them.

I think, sound healing is very powerful but it is very personal. I want to explain. Sound is a vibration. Not all vibrations are good for YOU, personally. For example, I never buy those all sorts of devises that promise to cure you with vibrations. I feel bad when I use them. And if the vibration is not good for you it can provoce the growth of tumors for example or create other problems. So, if you don't like a sound, a vibration, never insist on using it.

If you turn to my posts More About Drums And Sound Healing and Trance Dance Healing
and listen the videos I posted there you will notice very different action of those sounds in confront with these. It would be very interesting for me if you write about your reaction on these different sounds.

As for me, I feel good when I listen to drums (those posts) and I feel not very good listening to the sounds like those produced from crystal bowls.

What Is Aromatherapy

Do you use aromatherapy in your life? I rarely do it. And maybe this is the reason why I rarely write about this branch of alternative techniques here. I don't like scents and don't use them normally for meditations too.

Today I want to tell you the interesting peculiarity about aromatherapy.

Did you know that the parfumes do NOT belong to this techinque? Because their smells are a result of the collection of the synthetic chemicals. I did not know it. Only NATURAL scents concentrated in essential oils belong to aromatherapy!!! This is what we have to learn from this my post today.

Like all other schools this one uses it's medicines only for POSITIVE changes in the state of the person.

I use oils at place of creams for skin. I could not use synthetic creams for allergy but I have very dry skin. Natural oils donate to my skin young and shiny look. I think so. :0)))

Now if you look at the photo -this is one of the scents I can smell all days long. And eat them every day too. These are wild strawberries. Natural, from a forest don't forget it!

Labyrinth Is For Relaxation

«Лабиринт» на Яндекс.Фотках

I thought all my life that labyrinth is a sort of game. Now I discovered it is not so. These constructions were -first of all- the paths to Enlightenment. And you can find them even in the most important gotic churches like Chartres and Amiens and Siena. I would really like to visit these churches. But today I want to tell you about the healing use of these constructions in modern society.

Imagne, they are used as a very successful mode to relax persons and to cure stress! They say, there are about 2000 labyrinths in hospitals and similar centers only in the USA!

I have to confess, I've never seen one of them in my life. Maybe it is relaxing, I don't know. I wanted to write about labyrinths because I read about a couple in Denmark that createda labyrinth from great trees on their soil .

You can create a labyrinth to cure stress or to relax with anything you have and everywhere (stones, sand etc). The simple way is a finger labyrinth. Unfortunatelly, I did not understand what it is, and can't explain it to you here but you can download them from some sites in internet. Excuse me, maybe next time I will add one too.

Tenzin Wangyal Rimpoche In Europe, Milan

For those friends that are interested in teachings of Tenzin Wangyal Rimpoche and live in Europe.

We have a very important event this year: TWR will teach this year in Italy, in Milan from 30 October till 1 November. It will be the teaching about Dawa Gyaltsen, and the video registrations in different languages you can find in you tube in the page of Ligmincha. More information you can find in my blog "Yungdrung Bon Blog"

The other important event that comes from ligmincha is the practice of Sherab Chamma. This time the practice will be translated on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009, 12:30 - 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time U.S. TWP published a video of this practice registrated on June, 21 2009.

Healing Through Love and Wisdom

Mantra And Sutra Healing

One of the most important healing techniques known by europeans is mantra healing. My friends sent me some interesting links today and I wanted to share them with you because you can benefit from them and maybe heal you or someody with this help.

First of all I have to say that I personally use both mantras and sutras to heal myself and my loved once. They work for me.

This time precious advises

1 -By Lama Zopa Rinpoche

://www.lamayeshe.com/index.php?sect=article&id=318&chid=601

2 -By International Academy For Traditional Tibetan Medicine (click "TTM" in Navigation bar) http://www.ngakmang.com/

And finally precious registration of Sutra Of Pain, Vaishala Sutra, recited by

Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Reading Vajra Cutter Sutra

«Восемь благих символов буддизма» на Яндекс.Фотках

On the mandala 8 auspicious symbols of Buddhism.

Decided to read sutras all the days before I go in the hospital, I began with Vajra Cutter Sutra and, sincerely, stoped with it because I find different very interesting places to think about.

If you would like to read this sutra in other language except english, you can open this page of FPMT "Vajra Cutter Sutra" and read it in your language.

Well, the part where I stopped today is on the page 19 of the PDF I mentioned before.

If it is thought that the Tathägata considers, ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by me,’ Subhüti, do not view it like that, because the
dharma that is demonstrated by the Tathägata does not exist
whatsoever. Subhüti, if someone were to say ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by the Tathägata,’ Subhüti, he would deprecate me
since nonexistent and wrongly seized. Why is that? Subhüti, because
that demonstrated dharma called ‘demonstrated dharma,’
which is referred to saying ‘demonstrated dharma,’ does not
exist whatsoever.”

And the other part that touched me is this:

“Subhüti, they are not sentient beings
nor non–sentient beings. Why is that? Subhüti, so-called ‘sentient
beings,’ because they were taught by the Tathägata as non–
sentient beings, therefore are called ‘sentient beings.’

Some persons critizised me when I say that the sutras are nothing other as Dzogchen texts. In the last online ritrit by Namkhai Norbu Rimpoche he said it too and my opponents had to accept it.

The main idea for me that I unfortunatelly can not understand inside my heart.
they are not sentient beings nor non–sentient beings
Dharma do not exist
Samsara and Nirvana do not exist...
All this is nothing else as our dual vision.

I understand it with my mind. But I don't unsderstand it with my heart else...

Spectacular Thai Chi Possibilities

I wrote 2 or 3 times about Thai Chi here. I was impressed by what made my friend Thomas, the healing exercises. I even bought a very interesting book about it -but never had enough time to read more about this system.

I know that it's unpossible to learn such a Teaching without special dedication, but what >I was interesting in were (and are) the healing exercises, as said, and I thought, it's possible to do them with the preparation that I have.

Today I found this video in my Reader and ... you know, I like martial arts.


Hope you will enjoy it. And this similar video too.


Maybe it is not about healing but it's about system.

Relaxation Session With Voice Of The Sea

I ask to pardon me those friends that have just seen this video in my posts about our visit of the beach (The Voice Of The Sea and Our Favourite Beach)

This registration I wanted to make long time ago. If you know the problem, you noticed that it is practically impossible to find a registration of "pure" sounds of the nature in internet. Not only a simple registration but that it is long enough to allow a meditation or relaxation session. It means, it has to be at least 5 minutes long. If it will be possible, I'll make a more long regisration later.

The image is not very good -it is turnd on the side for about 1 minute. Ehhh... Well, I neededthe sound first of all...

What Is Karma

Karma is intention and intentional action.

"Intention" means mental factor that is omnipresent.
"Intentional action" means an action that was complete, performed under influence of that mental factor.

We are sure to speriment the conseguences of karma if it was performed and accumulated.
If it was performed but not accumulated we are not sure we will have the conseguences.

To See Chakras In The Space

«ТИБЕТ 0036» на Яндекс.Фотках

I thought, this picture can be interesting for practiсioners because it facilitates the task to see the chakras in the Empty Space.

Buddhismus -Great Collection

You know that I have some sites where I write about Buddhismus, Bon, Dzogchen ed other schools. First of all is Yungdrung Bon Blog in Italian and in English. But I post there many interesting things that do not need translation or explanations.

Now, because different persons said me about it, I opened a new site -a forum

Yungdrung Bon Forum

where I want to collect informations about the thems we all are interested in.

The beginning was only for Yungdrung Bon, but I could not avoid other schools, and there are and will be created forums for all interesting themes.

The main idea of this site is to collect interesting information to study this or that form of Dharma.
For example, I wanted to study everything possible about Sherab Chamma -and the links I found about her I collected in one insertion of that forum.

I was interested in cosmogonic theory in religions -and there is a place where I collected what I found about it.

So, this is the idea.

I wanted to ask all of you, my friends, to join that my site.
Just if you only SIGN IN will help me.
First, I need the list of partecipants because the site is on free platform and I have to demonstrate that it's interesting for others.
Than, if you would like to partecipate on collecting links and informations about buddhismus -it will be GREAT. I dream to create a very useful excellent collection about Buddhismus.

Some Words About Sherab Chamma

I promised to Bharat to write about Sherab Chamma. Finally I can say that I'm ready to speak about her.

Sherab Chamma is one -and maybe the most important- Goddess, pacific Goddess, of Bon panteon. If we think that Bön is one of the most ancient, "cosmic" religions, this fact becomes more interesting, from my point of view. Because the later religions prefere males as main Gods.

Sherab Chamma is Wisdom and Loving Mother of all Buddhas etc, sentient beings. Infact the name has these meanings. She is Golden Light, her practice heals from illnesses and donates long life. Some links you can find in my "Yungdrung Bon Forum"

Symbolism of "Great Mother":
this is the empty nature of all the phenomena of the reality, wisdom of the understanding of the absence of the individual ego, pure space, essence free from all the ignorance, absolut nature of the existance.

The wrathful aspect of Chamma is Si(d)pe Gyalmo and other, semi-wrathful aspect is the protector of Dzogchen Yeshe Walmo (read more Ya Shi Wal Mo)

Important Events In My Life

This month was rich on important evnts in my lif and I wanted to describe them here.

I visited a conference of Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, the founder of the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India (for additionary information and HELP visit www.tenzinpalmo.com). The conference took place in Naples. My photo camera is unfortunatelly very capricious and I have not better photos.



To be short in this post, I'll only describe the idea hat touched me more than others.

Normally we behave as little children. Emotions as waves carry us up and down. And we go with them up and down.
The main question is not to avoid samsara -it's very difficult. And not to remain always ON the top of the wave.
The main question is to learn to to feel certainty in this uncertain world.

Second important event in my life was the ritrit with our teacher Geshe Gelek Jimpa. This ritrit was dedicated to the second part of the text "Gyalwa Chaktri" that is Dzogchen teaching of Bon. More photos and other links you can find if you visit my Yungdrung Bon Blog in Italian language

I remember that I promised to Bharat to write about Sherab Chamma and will do it in the next days.

Confront Different Mantra Chantings

This picture I "stole" from the page I want to write you about here. Somebody told me about an interesting mix of a chantings of tibetan singer Loten Namling and a band "Lento". I thought, it can be interesting to "see" the differences.

Particularly I wanted to confront the "classic" chanting of mantras of monks and various modern interpretations.

So,this is the "classic" chanting of loved by many of you mantra of Chenresig, OM MANY PADME HUNG, that is easier to find in all the modifications too.

The first in sence of time for me was the New Age point of view, and there are infinite examples in You Tube (I hope, I found good example, if not, correct me pls) Here is not very changed variation, but there are many of them.



Chant Om Mani Padme Hum Hri By Ani Tsering Wangmo that you can find in Nepalese And Tibetan Arts Blog

Finally, if you did not open the page I mentioned in the first sentence: Number 3 there is a mantra ( lento-loten 3). (personally, I like the sounds of N°2 there)

How Many Years Do You Need To Become A Real Ajurveda Master?

«перебирают кардамон» на Яндекс.Фотках

The last 3 or 4 days I read often discussions of bloggers that say: there is not necessary to learn many years to become a great guru of Ajurveda or other similar and not similar like mystic disciplines.

One person told me about a great professor of Ajurveda located in Moscau. He has many ajurvedical centers and many persons come to him to study ajurveda and to cure different deseases. The friend said me, many persons feel much more better after the healing practices in this centers.

I opened the site of his center and subscribed his newsletter. The first newsletter I received told me about the life of great professor. He studied Ajurveda in monasteries (it want to mean not one but different) for 5 (fife) years. After that he turned back in Russia and is now what he is.

So, my question, my dear friends, is this:
I thought, Ajurveda and other disciplines like tibetan or other medicine, magic etc are very difficult arts. One person needs many many years to become a guru of one of them. I don't know precisely how many years the "doctors" study, but I've heard about philipine healers (and wrote about them here too) that study about 15 years.

I would be very glad if you illuminate me.

Big Ego And His Babies

The second point I like in the practices transmeted by TWR this time (Transcending Ego And Fear ) was the part about Ego and his babies. 

TWR says: Ego of a man is much more powerful and hard as the Ego of a woman (that is why probably men were those who tryed to fight it more as  women). The Big Ego begins to make baby-egos and all they are around him like the puples around their teacher. They listen to him, they answer all his requests.

The place where you can see all them together clearly when you eat your breackfast. You sit and eat, but the egos have a great meeting in this moment. And you partecipate secretly on this meeting. And you want to partecipate.  Because if you did not partecipate there, the egos would leave you. They want to be noticed. And if they look round and nobody notice them, they go away.

I like this part of the video. I recognize myself in it. It's really so in me: a Big Ego and uncountable quantity of little egos. I laughed when I listened to it. But -as says TWR- I do not think I'm able to leave them. Even for little period of time.

«Будда, Тайланд» на Яндекс.Фотках

Transcending Ego And Fear

I translate for my russian friends the video of the last open practic pubblished by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, "Trascending Fear". I have not the possibility to do it in one session, so translate little parts at a time.



Last part I translated had two points interesting for me. And first of all this one:

(after 21:00 in the video) When we do this practices, we recognize ourselves. We become nearer to ourselves and this means we feel security, comfort and happiness. Our life is very difficult, we always are afraid of something, we are tired and we want to escape the sufferings. So when we enter this happy place we do not want leave it. This place is so beautiful, it's simply fantastic, you love this place and... your ego grows much more as before.

You know, it's really so. I knew this place before I began to study buddhismus. And I always wanted to go there. For many years the only thought I had in my head was: I don't want to stay here, I don't want to turn back in this world (because I'm sure, the reincarnation exist).

I DON'T WANT THIS WORLD!!!

This, as said, was my only thought. And, sincerely, I practiced buddhismus to reach this only aim of my life.

Now, TWR says: you have to learn to leave this fantastic place where it is.
Don't create attachment, don't create your ego much more biger as it is.

Well, what do you think about it?

Attracting Negativities

I wrote soe times about "Law of Attraction". The main thought here is this: you attract what you are concentrated on.

So, as I understand it, is: If I unconsciously am thinking and worrying to have not enough money for example or to meet an illness, I think always about it. And more I think about it, more I attract these problems in my life.

From other side, if I have optimistic vision and adopt some positive affirmations, I'll attract wealth or health or what I want.

The techinque is: think "I am rich!" and repeat it, imagin you have all the good things you need to feel rich -and the wealth will be attracted by your positive mind. Adopt only positive words when you speak and only present time. Avoid criticism too. Absolutely.

They say, there is nobody that became rich laying on the sofa and repeating positive affirmations. I read about one person that received as a gift a little object that was among his wishes written in the notebook with his positive affirmations. Mmmm... Why not. But not because he repeated this affirmation, excuse me.

In my life, all this happens in other way. First I have a problem and than I begin to think about it. And when I don't find a solution i begin to create "negative affirmations". It is possible to change the situation, this creating more and more negative energy if you avoid bad words etc. But not to become rich from one day to the other.

Thinking About Vibrational Medicine

They write soo much about vibrational medicine today. Practically everything is possible to call so because everything in the Creation is made from vibrations. Light and our body, stones and herbs and others.

Interesting is that not all vibrations are healing. And specially "healing" vibrations. Today you can buy in every supermarket devises that with their vibrations can heal and help you loss the weight... Than there are vibrational baths for feet, armchairs with vibration...

Do you feel good from all that? I feel very-very bad. I just know it. One meditian said me after the operation, vibrational devises can provoke the growth of the tumors, so I have not use them. There are different contro-indications but have you ever hear about them from those persons that sell them?

Well, these vibrations are maybe too rough. Non as those I told in the first words of these post.

Because I try to sell jewelry made by me from the semiprecious stones, I add here a few of pubblicity: a photo of my last bracelets with Cat's Eyes.
For more information you can visit my main site "Mystic Gemstones"

Thoughts About Elements

Many years I can't understand the theory about elements. I understand -the words. But I do not understand in my soul. Sincerely I tryed to read texts and books but the concept is dark for me.

I answered questions of one test now and have this result:

You are most aligned with AIR, EARTH, and WATER.
Air represents intellect, mental intention, and connection to universal life force. Earth represents grounding, foundation of life, substance, connection to life path, and family roots. Water represents emotional release, intuition, and inner reflection.

The element you are not as strongly connected to is fire. Fire represents energy, tool for transformation, connection to personal power, and inner strength.

Where is Space in this quitz? I don't know. They do not use Space.
Why we need to understand the elements?Here is the explanation:

Understanding what each element represents helps us evaluate
where our individual strengths and weaknesses are.

As for me remains the problem: How can we know that THIS point of view is that right? I noticed that every quitz or similar you do, you find different elements most alined with you.
The answer?

The Power Of The Mantra

Mantras are one of the ways to heal or to purify karma. Many of us heard about them and some of us even uses them. I translated tday the words of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche about one of the most known mantras and how we use it, so I wanted to write about this mantra here.


Посмотреть на Яндекс.Фотках

Once I heard the Dalai Lama told how we recite this mantra
OM MANI PADME HUNG
OM MANI PADME HUNG
OM MANI...
OM MANI...
money,money,money...

It was a joke but as every joke it had great truth under it.
Namkhai Norbu Rimpoche said:
OM MANI PADME HUNG is a mantra of the compassion.We do not think that it's about compassion. We repeat it so as that parrot that repeated the mantra and ate an insect, repeated the mantra and ate an insect.

It's a mantra of compassion and has be used with compassion to learn compassion.

beings have no idea what should be done wiht themselves, at least you

some lead on it, which is fantastic.

If you step out into Brooklyn or the Black Hole of Calcutta, you

realize that what we are trying to do with ourselves is incredible.
Generally, nobody has the first idea about anything like this at all.
It is
incredible, fantastic. You should be tremendously excited and feel
wonderful
that somebody even tought of such idea.

There is a sense of joy from that point of view, a sense of
celebration
which you can refer whenever you feel depressed, whenever you feel
that you
do not enough in the enviroment to cheer you up, or when ever you
feel that
you do not have the kind of feedback you need in order to practice.

Yyyyogy! Alive!

The words are not important here. Look what this man is able to do with own body. Be attentive. The second "trick" is about how he can become 10 cm shorter as normally.

More about it in Spiritual Healing

"This Is PK" is about the specific connections between the practice of spiritual healing and the development of real psychic powers such as telekinesis/PK. It teaches readers about the real nature of psi, in light of the author's exciting breakthroughs in the field, including his exciting "Fridge Phenomenon" (F.P.) Discovery. The author maintains that everybody ought to know about the F.P. Discovery, because it reveals the unfettered truth about the nature of spiritual healing. This is essential to know, in order to elevate your life to the highest and most sublime levels.

To Lose 15 kg-s

glitter-graphics.com

Many persons do not understand me, specially the men.
I'm "obsessed" to loss the weight.

A year ago I felt very bad probably for hormonal causes and began to cure me with the milk of Soja. As known, soja contains natural femminile hormons. I wanted to cure myself and, infact, I felt better after it. But. I began to add weight. When I understood it, I had many kg-s more as necessary and till today I added 15 kg-s. In one year.

It's terrible. I can't eat because everything I eat add other kg-s. I can't walk and run as once because the body is too heavy. All this is bad and that is why I am "obsessed". I wanted to feel myself light. Nothing other.

So, I decided to take the situation under control. I made a research in internet about wht to do and now:
-I drink juice of one lemon and grated ginger in the morning.
-I take shorts of neopropellen half a day because they say it will help me to lose 3 kg-s a week. (last week it was only 1 kg)
-I take tabs to kill all intestinal worms I can have.
-I eat not so much and try to awoyd all sorts of sweeties.
-I make exercises for abdomen fat

Who knows, will all this help me to lose 15 kg-s?

10 Negative Actions In Buddhismus

My Friend Footiam from Dhamma Delights asked me to write about 10 Negative Actions in buddhismus and other similar phylosophies. I just had to re-read about them because I forgot some of them, so I write this post for all us that are interested in this question.

What I write here is from Comments of Geshe Ciampa Ghiatso to Lam-Rim Middle (I have it in Italian so this is MY short translation -excuse me if I don't know some terms in English) that he teached in 2005 to our group of students of Basic Program (ILTK).

Because the text is long, I write here one part of it -maybe it will be enough. If you want the other negative actions explained so as the first, write me, I'll continue the translation.

glitter-graphics.com

Negative Actions and their results are explaned here in 3 points: the paths of the real black actions, differences in their weight and their results.

The black actions are 10 paths of the non virtuous actions:
3 of the body -kill, steal, sexual misconduct
4 of the word -lie, words that divide, bad words and twaddle
3 of the mind -desire (to have something what belongs to an other), malevolence and mistaken visions

The white actions are the opposite of the black actions. To leave to kill ect.
In the "Sutra of 100 Actions" there is other division.

In every of the Negative Actions there are those more light and those more havy. For example, inside killing" the action to kill own father or mother is much more havy as to kill an insect.
And the wight of the action dipends from the completeness of base, predisposition, implementation and completion.

Killing
Base: The base of killing is a person (a sentient being) with the mind different from his/her "normal" mind.
Predisposition.
1. Riconoscimento corretto.
To have the complete action is necessary the correct recognition of the object (this rule is valid for all 10 actions).
If one wants to kill V. but for mistake kills T. is not complete action. Other case if one wants to kill V. but is happy to kill anybody.
2.Mental Affliction.
Mental affliction is one of the 3 psychic poisons: attachment, anger, ignorance
3. Motivation.
is the desire to kill
Implementation
1. Executor -is the same if he/she kills personally or sands an other person to kill.
2.Implementation -is about the arm of the killing
Completion
The completion is when the sentient being dies (in that moment or later) before the death of that who wanted to kill (if the person that wants to kill dies before the death of the victim tha negative action is not complete) .

So, in short to have the negative action complete is necessary that all the 4 parts of it are complete.
If we kill somebody and all the 4 parts are present -the path of negative action is complete.
But if one part of the action is not complete the weight of this action is not so heavy and we can purify it with 4 opponent powers and the results of this action will be not so bad (or completely purifyed) as if the path of the negative action would complete.

What Brings Us Happiness?

One of the alternative medicine authors wrote in her blog about the research that wanted to learn what brings us more happiness: experiences (travel, concerts, sports events) or material things (new cars, computers, stereo equipment).

You would remember me about my buddhist studies and philosophy, but I wanted to think about this "material" happiness now.

What would you prefere in this period of crisis: one time experience happiness or constant material thing happiness. In other words: would I like to visit Bahamas or would I prefere to buy a new car?

Sincerely I don't know. In some cases I would prefere experiences. A ritrit or maybe a walk in the mountains... Why not permanent thing? Well, memory is a permanent thing, first. And the experiences and feelings use to become more and more splendid with time.

I heard about it yesterday: native Americans used to take with them a little bag with special herbs. When a special event happend in their life, they took the herb from that bag and smell it. So, when they wanted to remember that event, they smelt that herb.

Probiotics In My Bag

This is what I bought today in the supermarket. A bag full of probiotic yogurts. Well, we were in a very big supermarket and these yogurts were discounted this week. So, I was very happy to find this price and bought them as much as possible.

I read once that these products are a very great Lie. Because the Bacteria can't survive in these vases first and they can't arrive "alive and active" till the gut. But I like yogurt and want believe they, bacteria, can do it.

I wrote about them an article that you can read if you visit this page Probiotics to the rescue. My article was not chosen by the person that wanted these articles. Unfortunatelly it becomes worsest and worsest votes (it was 9-th first). My article is not very good but there are some interesting dates about our health there.

Crossword Puzzle As The Way To Happiness

«Я умею отгадывать кроссворды, ур.."» на Яндекс.Фотках

What did you think you have to do to feel happy?

Dance? Eat a chocolate? Read something?
If you tryed just everything and can not change your mood, youhave to begin with crossword puzzle. Scientific American writes about the research that demonstrates that this activity releases mood-enhancing dopamine in the brain.

But if you work long hoursб it will make your mental skills much more weaker. Why? Depression, alcohol, bad sleep and so on. BBC

So, do not work more than 44 hours a week, make crosswords-book your best and everyday reading, don't worry, be happy.

Comfort Zone

«Уходящий в закат...» на Яндекс.Фотках

What do you think about your comfort zone? It has to be a place where you feel good and, other, an area around you where you do not want other humans enter. So I understand the question.

Everybody has a sort of energetical field around the physical body. Something like a cocoon. More or less big. We need it free from unpleasant energetical fields. Some researches tell that the residents of the cities, specially big cities, are more aggressive and more tired because they have to live always very near to other persons. Their cocoon has not place to have it's normal form.

Today I read about a state of unhealthy isolation. It was about the walls we create between us and others. We reject them, don't want do what they ask us, we are never available. After some attempts those persons leave us. With time we remain alone.

I thought about other side of this problem.
We ARE available. But the persons use our availability in non correct way. In other words, they use our availability to harm us.

In any case the result is the same: we remain in a state of unhealthy isolation.
To be or not to be? HOW be?

Cleansing The Nose

Many yogic schools tell us we have to wash the nose everyday. Inspire water. Better if it's with 1/2 -1/4 teapoon of salt or/and 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide. Water has to be lukewarm (not too cold, not too warm).

Today I read about this technique in About.com and remembered that I have to do it.

I have sinusite and it is disturbing specially because not passas with the seasons as the flues and other seasonal deseases. I wrote that I tried with propolis and echinachea this year. It worked but I have still my nose closed.

I just began to wash the nose as the yogies advice. It is not very pleasant to inspire water. But you can do it after 2-3 times you try. And it helps, really. Not forever, but you can breath after it. Even if you have flu and other similar illnesses.

Now, in the article I read today the technique is different. You have not inspire water. You pour it in a nostril using a special (read: strictly personal) pot while breathing with the mouth. Water goes out through other nostril.

Interesting. Maybe it is not so unpleasant than inspiring water? Even if I just got accustomed to inspire.

Do somebody know if there is difference between these techniques?

Honey Healing Power

«Натюрморт от простуды» на Яндекс.Фотках

One interesting article in an italian bee keeper association's site told about a division of all the honey consumers in groups: regular consumers and those who buys honey from time to time. "Regulars" look for quality and diversity, others buy first they find.

I'm regular honey and all it's products consumer. Here I write about the experiment I made this autumn.

I found an article about benefits of propolis and echinachea in herpes-healing. It's because they help to maintain immunity system in good conditions.
Than I used once royal jelly for much time -that helps to remain young.
Finally I have a problem with my nails and hairs in autumn and winter, and I read about fantastic results that has use of pollen (for great quantity of minerals etc.) that helps to maintain nails and hairs healthy.

This year I turned to use honey products to cure me from all these problems. Now, in February, I can to say that 1/ I feel relatively good this winter, without flu and grave cold problems. 2/ my nails and hairs felt good when I ate pollen for about a month. Than I had not bought it and now I have all the nails brocken as before.

So, I can say that this cure worked for me. Now I have to buy pollen and continue with it to cure my hairs.

Aura

«Аура» на Яндекс.Фотках

I read about our auras today. I have not doubts about their existance but I feel some embarrassed when I read that I have to wash it. No, "wash" in the literal sense of this word. In a shower, under a waterfall, under rainfall (without lightening!).

The other way to wash the aura is to use feathers (better if turkey or owl), sage or lavendar smoke or, if you have nothing of these, you can use your hand as a comb.
(advises are from About.com)

Now, I thought, is it really so easy to clean the aura from all the negativities?
