Binaural Beats

Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered binaural beats in 1839. Even today this amazing technology remains a scientific curiosity. It is believed to originate in the brain’s superior olivary nucleus, a part of the brain stem. This is connected to the ability to locate and track sounds in a three dimensional environment

Meditation Benefits

• Meditation sharpens our focus and makes you much more productive with your time.

• Meditation trains our subconscious to become more creative, relaxed and positive.

• Meditation teaches us to relax in the now, removing past pains.

Instant Meditation!

It can take years to master meditation and discover the benefit of higher states. With binaural beats this benefit can be found right away. How it works is by having a tone with two different frequencies sent to each ear. The brain then is able to perceive the difference in the frequency. Then brainwaves adjust to this perceived difference. By adjusting to this difference and you can unlock the same benefit as someone that has spent a lifetime training to do this through meditation. With modern science we reach the same states as someone that has mastered the ancient art of meditation.

Qigong - Chi Power

2009-08-10T13:13:00.000-07:00

System of Energy Work

Qigong is a system of energy work used to build and maintain health and well being. Its roots are found in training developed by ancient Taoist sages. In the past this practice has been referred to as inner alchemy or spiritual alchemy. Qigong has been used to transform from the inside out. There was once a school of thought called nei-dan that believed with proper meditation and qigong practice one might become immortal. Although this may not be the case is has been found to greatly extend life and bolster energy.

Energy is Maintained

It was believed that when energy is maintained a person could expect a long and healthy life, a person that practices daily can build up their energy to ward off sickness and promote health.

Harmonizes and Aligns the Whole Person

Qigong is a system of self-cultivation that harmonizes and aligns the whole person. There are two methods of Qigong, still and moving forms. Both methods emphasize the breath and the movement of Chi or energy within our bodies. Often used as a warm up in martial arts it could be said any movement that stills the mind and focuses on the quality of movement is Qigong. Styles like Tai Chi are a moving form of Qigong.

Form of Meditation

As a form of meditation the mind is stilled though focused breathing and purposeful stances or movements allowing the clear movement of energy within us. This helps to relieve stress with our muscles and joints, further promoting health. The moving and still forms require a relaxed strength to master. In this state our bodies become supple and strength is built in the whole body. Mind and body are harmonized as they together relax and allow the movement of energy to invigorate the whole person.

Easy for Anyone

It's easy for anyone to learn, any age and skill level can benefit. Qigong can bring longevity to our lives along with helping us find a great balance in what might be a stressful and hectic life. The inner peace is available to anyone that makes this part of their daily routine.

Tai Chi

Increase your well-being with the art of Tai Chi

Tai Chi is practiced as a spiritual and physical routine. Translated from Chinese Tai Chi Chuan is “great polarity boxing.” Yin and Yang in the Taoist viewpoint are dependent on each other. Same is true with the body and mind. Opposite forces that complement each other. Together form balance and harmony. The Formless Mind and the Form of Body as one.

Integrating Body and Mind to improve flexibility, balance and stability Tai Chi combines the power of Earth-Yin, Energy-Chi and Heaven-Yang. Tai Chi is an enjoyable and efficient way to eliminate stress, a magnificent way to reduce mental and physical tension.

The Legend of the roots of Tai Chi date back as far as the Warring States period 402 BC- 221 BC. This was a time of rival feudal city-states in a divided China. These were defended by elite warrior groups. These groups would participate in tournaments of skill in self-control and poise.

Chang San-Feng born in 1247 AD is credited with developing Tai Chi. According to one legend it’s believed that in his mountain retreat Chang San-Feng discovered Tai Chi while dreaming of immortality. For many generations this knowledge was passed from master to student in closed groups. Only recently in the 20th Century has this knowledge become available to outsiders.

Tai Chi is soft or internal form of martial arts. This means it uses energy that is generated from within. Internal martial arts use relaxed leverage instead of direct strength. Often using the opponents strength agianst themselves. The aim of tai chi is to develop alignment of mind and body to allow the correct flow of Chi-Energy.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

This book is definitely a must-read; I recently read this for this first time this year. I wish I had discovered this sooner in my life. Even though the internal dialog can be hard to follow, it’s very entertaining and able to keep my attention.

I wasn’t interested in motorcycle care and used this aspect as an analogy of how one should care for their life. I liked the contrast of those who didn’t take time to learn to care for their vehicle and preferred to leave this work to so called professionals and those that would not trust this important work to anyone but them self. Shows that any person can learn anything they put their focus and attention on.

The Author uses the concept of Quality as instrument of mind to wear it down. A practice in Zen schools is to give the student impossible paradoxes or puzzles to figure out until the mind finally gives up and let’s go. This brings the student to a place where no-mind is possible. Being can be seen without the mind’s opinions and judgments that are always getting in the way of what is to be seen. The way he wrestles with this concept of quality brought a small smile to my face as I could see this would challenge all his ideas and his very foundation.

One of the very best lessons in the book is about how to climb a mountain. How monks would climb a mountain one step at a time. The monks take each step as a sacred and unique event. Totally enjoying and focused on the moment they are experiencing. And how so many people can only focus on the goal of the top of the mountain and completely miss and ignore the moment they are in. In the goal climbing state a person experiences frustration and impatience as the goal looms ahead of them. The person that is always in the moment can climb many more mountains then the one that has their eyes only set on the goal.

I personally like the comparison made of modern education and the practice of the Greek Sophists. For a cost the student can learn to imitate and get the grades to become degreed. The whole point of thinking and curiosity is lost and even discouraged. Einstein once said "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."

At its foundation this book is about an inquiry into values. It uses the concept of contextual Quality to break down our thinking and assumptions. This book makes many other great points and challenges how we might think. It does challenge a person to go further and improve.
