Ayurveda Primer

FIRST STEPS TOWARDS WELLNESS AN AYURVEDIC PRESPECTIVE. Ayurveda translates from Sanskrit, as the science for a long life, having said that let's go over some basic Ayurvedic principles. First of all in Ayurveda individuals are classified into three basic constitutional types called Doshas; they are, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each person is born with a particular constitutional composition which can be strongly inclined to one specific Dosha, or more commonly be a combination of two, at times even all three, usually however one of them is dominant. This birth constitution is called Prakruti. Then throughout life changes occur which are influenced by many factors; these include among others, lifestyle, diet, environment, etc. Leading to our constitutional makeup at any given point in time during our lifespan, this is called Vikruti. Since life is a very dynamic process, we can clearly understand that our Vikruti is frequently changing. Having said the prior, it is important to understand that in Ayurveda moving away from our inherent nature, that is our Prakruti, can open the door for imbalance, which can consequently lead to disease. Therefore, one of the main tenets of Ayurveda is to preserve or when needed to restore our Prakruti and its balance. Which leads us to the following; first we should always try to live a healthy lifestyle, starting with what we eat, you see according to Ayurveda, and this is pretty self evident across most cultures, our body is constantly 'forming', this happens through a process where ingested nutrients form our bodily tissues, known in Sanskrit as Dhatus. This tissue formation process is pragmatically speaking sequential, that is, the first tissue or Rasa (plasma) is formed, as it matures it forms byproducts, as well as waste products, an it eventually leads to the second tissue, called Rakta (blood), and so on until all seven tissues are formed, then finally a highly pure, and decanted energy source, a quintessence of sorts is formed called Oshas, in a simplistic manner, it is akin to our immune system, it is also consided a life force energy of the highest order. If you analyze this process closely, you can clearly see that we are in fact what we eat. Now think for a moment, just how important the intake of appropriate nutrients is for every aspect of life. On the other hand, think how hard it has become to obtain quality nutrients. Even if you decide to 'eat healthy', the quality of said healthy products has been undermined by many factors, for instance nutrient depleted soils, use of chemicals and pesticides, environmental toxins, among others. There is good news though. Aside from growing your own food, which would be a tall order for most of us, we can without a doubt do two major things to help ourselves. First we can surely avoid eating foods which we know to be unhealthy, such as those called 'junk food', second we can use certain nutritional supplements to make up for the micronutrients lacking in our diet. These are without doubt, the first steps in preserving optimal health, and are also crucial when the task at hand is to restore balance and to recover your health ...your optimal state of wellness. In future articles, I will share with you more specific pointers, and we will also take a look a other aspects of Ayurvedic balance in other areas of our life, such as mental, emotional, social, financial. For now I leave you with this thought. You are the crown head in your kingdom, your decrees and edicts are the law, and your will shall be done, you will call this kingdom 'Me' for it is in fact you; your body, your mind, your higher consciousness. Therefore it's up to you to make good things happen in your kingdom ...in your life. Bliss and Light to all W. Ramdev Shaivaidya

AMAZING AYURVEDIC ANTI AGING

BEST AYURVEDIC ANTI AGING SECRET
SDG Solid Serum is consided a RASAYANA, an exclusive all natural age delaying and restorative treatment and moisturizer proven to reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and provide intense hydration, without clogging your pores. It also nourishes your skin while protecting the acid mantle, a natural defense barrier.
SDG is a traditional and revered formula that is considered the world's first anti aging crème, created by Ayurvedic Practitioners over 3000 years ago. Ayurveda is the sanskrit word meaning complete knowledge for a long life and it is the system of traditional medicine native to India, still widespread today for its compelling results.
To preserve this time honored formula, its rich history and exquisite quality, SDG is hand blended and hand filled in the United States by aritsans trained in this Ayurvedic tradition. The all natural precious ingredients that give SDG its essence require this hand blending to maintain its delicate structure and full benefits.
SDG is extremely popular for its purity and effective results. Our preparation of SDG, while preserving its tradiitonal qualities, has been enhanced with a proprietary formula to intensify its anti aging benefits and radiant results while maintaining its natural constitution. This ancient formula has also been highly successful as a treatment for rosacea, eczema and chronic dry skin. SDG will also balance the skin's natural oil content, therefore making it appropriate for all skin types. Apply nightly to clean dry skin as a facial moisturizer and treatment. It will make your skin radiant, healthy, and glowing. SDG can be used on the face, around the eyes, neck, decollete, hands and any other skin that requires extra moisture and care, consistent use of SDG will help diminish the appearance of fine lines.
SDG has been improved, making it an innovative product whith enhanced benefits. It containes naturally occurring antioxidants and essential fatty acids, amongst others Omega 3, Omega 6, CLA 9, 11, on which studies are being conducted regarding its capabilities for cellular and DNA repair. Curcumin is also present, this substance derives from Curcuma Longa and is known as strong and natural anti-inflammatory as well as an antiseptic.
Feedback has so far been remarkable, results are quickly evident with commentaries of how the skin feels softer and moister with as little as two applications. Reports have been consistent regarding the reduction in the appearance of fine lines and blemishes. Individuals who suffer from rosacea have noticed improvement in their condition after a few applications, reporting a decrease in redness and irritation. Similar feedback has been obtained from individuals who suffer from psoriasis, these have constantly reported after a few applications, less itching, decrease in the size and thickness of patches and less scaliness, those with eczema specially chronic, have reported considerable improvement as well. There are of course those individuals who do not report major improvement in these specific conditions, they do however mention the pleasant and silky feeling it leaves on their skin.
No brakeouts or allergic reactions have been reported, even in those individuals with a known history of sensitive skin and allergies. Of course as with any cosmetic product, in the event of allergy or irritation it is recommended the product stop being used. If symptoms persist a physician should be consulted.
SDG is manufactured under stringent conditions of cleanliness. It is an artesanal preparation, blended in small batches in order to preserve its unique qualities. After applying SDG it will soon be fully absorbed by the skin, leaving behind a silky sensation without feeling oily. 5 minutes after applying it with a very gentle massage to work it into the skin, we find that the oil content on a blotting paper is no more than that on average skin.
Rasayanas or anti aging Ayurvedic products, have in fact been used for millennia, however access to these resources have been rather limited in western countries, finding quality products that are ethical and efficacious specially on a consitente basis has been even more of a challenge, at Bliss and Light we have taken to the task of making Ayurvedic cosmetic products of the highest quality more readily available in the west. Products like SDG contain no substances deemed harmful or hazardous as per the guidelines of commonly used and accepted as safe substances in the U.S.A. our philosophy promotes that this and other products preserve these conditions at all times.

THE PAST

Memories can bring about very pleasant feelings, as well as very uncomfortable ones. Regardless of the content of these recollections and the emotions they evoke, we must not allow ourselves to dwell or overindulge in them no matter how positive they may be; you see it ultimately boils down to living in the past, and this is not good for our spiritual and yes material growth.
We have all heard that we can learn from past experiences, that history is a wonderful teacher, that there is no better predictor to future results (or consequences) than past results on similar actions or circumstances, and this is all true ...however there is more to it than meets the eye.

If in fact it is OK to reminisce, it is vital to our well being to stay focused on the present. When we drift towards living in the past, we are not allowing ourselves to close chapters in our existential journey, much like reading the same chapter in a book over and over again. When our life is the subject matter it gets even more complex, for as opposed to a book in a person's life, future chapters are frequently written as past ones conclude; it is a very dynamic process.

We can make the past a gentle and inspiring companion, however there is great risk of it becoming a tyrant if we lower our guard on our sense of awareness. If the past takes over our life and our spiritual energy, it will inevitably choke our present, and this will in turn hinder our future. If we permit this to happen the future chapters in our lives will at best be a series of blank voids, at worst they will be marred by senseless existential mumbling which will stifle the development of our maximum and true potential, it will not let us attain the spiritual jewels that are meant for us and it will keep us in the dark.
Learning from the past does not in any way mean living in it, it merely means using the experiences of what was once the present to forge your mental and spiritual database, upon which you will of course draw, just like you would from a bank account when you need to invest; the difference with this life database as opposed to money is that as long as you are healthy it does not diminish, quite the contrary it grows with each passing day. However this cant't happen if you insist on living in the past, on not finishing and closing chapters, on not moving on, knowing in your heart that there are better things to come. Yes you will still encounter unpleasant situations in the future, these are simply opportunities for growth, just take them for what they are worth and keep in mind that their face value is frequently deceitful. Let them become a part of your spiritual wealth and nothing more, then again you can move on to still another chapter.

As you you continue this journey called life, and do so with awareness, focus, compassion, knowledge and most importantly with a true and strong belief in yourself, and in the fact that we are part of a oneness, a magnificent universal energy which allows us all to achieve anything we set our minds to, regardless of how lofty these goals may be; then and only then will you truly move to a more fulfilling life, one with wellness, with spiritual and material growth ...in short a blissfull and enlightened life, at which point you will have accrued both spiritual and tangible material wealth. More importantly though it is the fact that by then you will have yourself become a jewel of the universe and a source of light to others.
Therefore please remember to be grateful to the past, live the present, move on to the future with true unfaltering belief in yourself and live fulfilled in bliss and light.

THE 2012 OPPORTUNITY

I thinks it's safe to assume, by now most of us have been exposed one way or another to the 2012 phenomenon, as I like to call it. The predictions for December 21 of this year are many, they come from very varied sources, and essentially they all address 'the end'.

This predicted end however, is not by far meant to describe a destructive process. We as individuals, as communities, as a planet, have in fact been engaging for some time now in destructive behaviors at the physical and spiritual levels, in our finances and towards our environment. Simply stated, if we continue on this path we don't really need any ancient prophecy to mark our demise.

The Mayas as well as other ancient civilizations did in fact define this now notorious date (or dates closely related to it) as the end of the world, for them there had been different worlds after creation. This was the name they gave to cosmic cycles, where alignment of celestial bodies were such, that they marked major energy shifts, and this was not necessarily a bad thing, quite the contrary for it was actually viewed as something positive, generally speaking a time of renewal, a chance for improvement. For instance in the first major cycle they considered human beings were made of mud, in our current cycle human beings are made of flesh, and in the one to come they will be mainly spiritual or energetic beings, meaning that we will evolve and develope capabilities of a higher order, while still living the life we know.

From the perspective of Quantum Physics essentially everything is interconnected, therefore not even a thought can be isolated. Consider this, according to QP anything can be anywhere and everywhere at the same time, it also states that a particular object comes into existence at the moment we physically look at it. Also consider this, any thought we have, is in fact real, and we actualy bring things into existence with merely our thoughts.

Now stop for a moment and think of all the wonderful opportunities we have, just using our mind and thought process in a positive way. From a cosmic standpoint we are but a small part of this universal equation, however one with the capacity to tap into the energy of the cosmic intelligence, and through this we can bring about wonderful changes.
All it takes to achieve these seemingly lofty goal is literally putting your mind to it. There is a samll catch though, the universal results attained are directly proportional to the the amount of energy put into this transformative process. In other words if we truly desire substantial, long lasting, positive and fulfilling change, the amount of energy required must reach a certain critical mass. Unfortunately no one knows just how much is required, but with out a doubt the more of us that participate in this project the greater the chances of reaching this goal.

As you can see, there will in fact be an end, but only to a cycle, with the ensuing and practically limitless possibilities of creating a far better existence. We all need to rely on everyone, but we must all 'individually' start doing our part to create this much needed critical mass. If we truly want good things to come into our lives, we can start by avoiding excuses like " but no one else is doing it", and just move forward and take action by doing your part.
At Bliss and Light we have been working on the World Reiki Project to do just that. Through Reiki we believe that a strongly positive confluence of this good energy can be achieved in an easier, much more productive and meaningful manner. That is why we have made Special Reiki Packages which are highly affordable and very practical to implement. From the very moment you take charge of your life and move towards a positive change, I assure you, you will start feeling and seeing magnificent results materialize. Never mind how many people are doing it, little by little there will be more joining, and this will gradually take us one step closer to the critical mass of living in bliss and light. To learn more on Reiki, about the World Reiki Project, and the special Reiki packages, you can visit www.blissandlight.com

For now I leave you with this thought; the end is in fact near, but only the end of the negative cycle we are currently living. Just how great the cycle to come will be, depends on you, on me, on all of us. Be a part of the change.

Bliss and Light to all

BE PART OF THE CHANGE

In this ever changing world, cycles come and go, just look at history. The cycles that usually catch our attention and "leave the biggest marks on the world" are those related mainly to social, economic or geopolitical issues, at least this is what we perceive; these however are the direct result of a far more important type of cycle. Expanding on the prior, everything in the universe is intimately related, starting (very importantly) with our thoughts. The energy of thought has the capacity to change our lives, our communities, even our world.

Given the above, when a large quantity of a certain thought energy, for instance, enthusiasm in Time Square on new year's eve is gathered, the quality of the energy in this space becomes synchronized and good begets good, ultimately leading to a joyous event, and that moment and space are full of positive energy, creating a sense of wellness for most everyone present. Even those who do not actively feel it, are in fact benefiting from it. On the other hand, the opposite is also true. If critical mass is established deriving from negative thoughts or energy, a cycle of unpleasant circumstances will initiate and become manifest. At this point I'm hoping, there is at least a little "WOW factor" going through your mind ...if not, don't worry, we'll get to it.

Now let's consider the following, the cycle humanity is living at present all over the world, is the direct result of the energy we put out there over time. We reached a critical mass of this negative energy, sadly we were unaware it was building up, and now it hit all our lives with the force of a train running out of control. You might ask, what can we do? There are definitely positive options, however I feel it's also important to mention what you should not do. This will be simple, I suggest you avoid two behaviors. First don't allow yourself to be a victim, and second don't try to blame it on someone or something ...in short, we are all responsible for these consequences. By the same token we can all make changes which will take our lives, our communities, even the world into a positive and more fulfilling cycle.

I have taken to the task of spreading positive energy in the way of Reiki, this is non denominational, and does not go against any religious belief. It is merely a practice conducted by appropriately trained individuals, whereby positive universal energy can be channeled to a person, a community, a nation, even to places, objects and animals. This energy may only be channeled with positive intentions and purposes, it can not be harmful in any way, it is very healing and the positive outcome of its use, regardless of the degree to which it is felt, will always be of great benefit. Without doubt this is an important first step towards the recovery we yearn in our lives, for our great country and the world.

I also have the previlage and responsibility of having been endowed with very specific knowledge which has opened a door that few have accessed, this has given me very unique resources to achieve enhanced results with this modality of energy transference and energetic healing. I have facilitated many positive changes in many lives and also have an obligation to not only continue doing so, but to actualy invest all possible effort and resources at hand to further promote it and expand its reach.
The timelines on which this project will be taking place are very clear to me, however I cannot reveal the details yet, simply because doing so ahead of time might hinder part of the critical mass we all desire in order to rid our lives of all the negativity we have lived with, specially over this past year.

In the days and weeks to come, the time will be right for me to share more details regarding this inmense gift from the Universe. I am not alone in this project, despite having been entrusted with this responsibility, several individuals are working with me and I look forward to having many more join and become a part of this team ...we will be a part of the positive change to come. Additionally, I assure you that those who take an active role in this project will reap even greater rewards.
