Retrieving the Soul
Posted on Wed, 24 July 2013
It has always been the role of the shaman to go into an altered state of consciousness and track down where the soul fled to in the alternate realities and return it to the body of the person who is being treated.
There are many common symptoms of soul loss. Some of the more common ones would be dissociation where a person does not feel fully in his or her body and alive and fully engaged in life. Other symptoms include chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, post traumatic stress syndrome, immune deficiency problems, and grief that just does not heal. Addictions are also a sign of soul loss as we seek external sources to fill up the empty spaces inside of us whether through substances, food, relationships, work, or buying material objects.
Anytime someone says "I have never been the same since" a certain event and they don’t mean this in a good way, a soul loss has probably occurred.

Shamanism - Looking at loss of Soul
Posted on Tue, 23 July 2013
Imagine yourself sitting in a circle with members of your community. You have gathered together to support one community member who is suffering from a traumatic experience. You know that if one person is suffering and is ill it affects the entire community. So you have come to help hold the space for healing to happen.
It is dark and the stars are shining bright in the night sky. The air is still. Everyone feels held in the loving arms of the universe and there is no doubt that healing will happen for all gathered here.
The shaman begins to drum and move calling the power of the universe to her as she puts her ego self aside and becomes an empty vessel that fills with the help of the spirits.
The person lies quietly in the centre breathing deeply to be in a receptive state to receive back his lost soul; his lost vitality; his own...Read More

Kriya Yoga Changes Your Brain Cells

Kriya Yoga Changes Your Brain Cells(From Paramahansa Yogananda’s talks and writings)
Your greatest enemies are your bad habits. They will follow you from one incarnation to another until you overcome them. In order to free yourself from fate, you must cure yourself of bad habits. How? Good company is one of the best medicines. If you have a tendency to drink, mix with people who do not. If you are suffering from ill health, be with people who have positive minds, who don’t think about sickness. If you have the consciousness of failure, associate with those who have the consciousness of success. Then you will begin to change.
Each of your habits creates a specific “groove,” or pathway, in the brain. These patterns make you behave in a certain way, often against your wish. Your life follows those grooves that you yourself have created in the brain....Read More

The meaning of inner peace and steps to achieving it in daily life
Posted on Mon, 29 April 2013
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, emphasises the importance of inner peace in the world:
The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.
Do you find that your life is filled with stress? Does it seem as if there is always something happening that encompasses your entire attention, and therefore drains positive or high-vibrational energy?
As our society grows more and more complex, finding true inner peace becomes more like trying to find an oasis in the desert....Read More
