 any other close relationship with someone we fear or hate
subconsciously?
It is said that we can only fully love a man or a woman if we basically love all men or all women. If we are subconsciously fearful of
the opposite sex, then quite naturally we develop a fear of penetration and become impotent or frigid. Strong hostility towards the
mother can later lead to an inability for a man to have sex with a woman unless he humiliates her, possibly in the form of violent rape.
Pornography is a fantasy outlet for many forms of sexual neurosis but it is only a poor substitute for uninhibited sexual functions.
SEXUAL  TYPES
Psychologists have devised various systems linking our childhood experiences with our sexual problems as adults. They may
distinguish between the following sexual types: schizoid, oral, psychopathic, masochistic and rigid. A normal type does not seem to
be part of their experience.
The  schizoid type experienced emotional trauma already around birth and, therefore, did not fully connect with the body. When
things become difﬁcult, schizoids just withdraw from reality and live in fantasy. The resulting lack of body feeling and identiﬁcation
with the'self' also leads to confused sexual identiﬁcation, and schizoid s easily become homosexual or prostitutes. Many passive
lesbians are schizoid as they crave for warmth and human comfort like deprived children. The orgastic potency is usually very low,
that is the ability to reach a full orgasm.10/30/24, 2:57 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Sexuality
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_Our_Emotions/Sexuality.html 2/10The oral type is widespread because of the general abandonment of breastfeeding in our society. The baby felt abandoned and sex
is sought mainly for closeness and contact, similar to the schizoid type. The breast is worshipped and oral sex enjoyed. Sexual
relationships as well as sexual funct ions remain immature. Also anal sex is related to the oral phase. Sensuality, superﬁcial feelings
that make us feel good, are used as a substitute for orgastic sexuality, but cannot achieve a deep emotional energy release.
The  psychopathic type evolved from a child that felt it had to manipulate the parent of the opposite sex to get what it wanted. In
later life the need to be taken care of is achieved either through bullying or seduction. Sex is often hostile with much fantasy. Feelings
of contempt for the partner cover suppressed feelings of inferiority. Sexu ality is used to control, to conquer and dominate, pleasure is
secondary. Often the behaviour in a relationship is irresponsible.
The masochistic type evolved from domineering parents who crushed the child's creativity and self-respect. This lack of self-worth is
expressed in a sexual relationship as a need to be humiliated. Sexual excitement can be gained from inﬂicted pain. The masochistic
male may have a problem achieving ejaculation.
While most neurotic individuals have various rigidities, these are especially prevalent in the rigid type.  The child suppressed sexual
and other tender feelings in response to a perceived rejection by the parent of the opposite sex, generally an emotionally cold parent
who did not tenderly touch or cuddle the child. The child learned not to cry or show emotions. The rigid adult chooses sex over love
and is a sex performer without deep feelings and greatly decreased orgastic potency. Sexual activity is compulsive and mechanical,
performance provides ego satisfaction, emotional warmth and physical closeness are avoided.
Commonly we combine features of several types in our sexual make-up but with one type being dominant. In the way we resolved
the Oedipus complex as a child or the relationship with the parent of the opposite sex, we assume different sexual roles as an adult.
We may either act as a son or daughter, as a sister or brother, as hero, sweetheart or romantic ideal, as a father or mother ﬁgure.
However, if we have resolved the problem in a natural way, we act as a mature adult, encompassing all roles and playing each one
as appropriate.
If the relationship of a girl with her father remains emotionally unresolved, then as an adult she tends to act mainly on the daughter
level, looking for a father ﬁgure and easily becoming just a sex object in danger of drifting into prostitution.
If the girl channelled her sexual feelings into sympathy for the father, she may play the role of sister and see herself as companion
and helpmate of her man, wanting to share everything, but sexual contact remains relatively unimportant and unexciting.
If the sexual feelings for the father have not been suppressed as with the sister type, but just held back, the romantic type emerges,
emotionally the eternal virgin, teasing but not wanting to be possessed by a man. She likes ﬂirting, as she needs romantic excitement
but has a problem combining love with sex. Because of resulting emotional conﬂicts, this type is psychologically also called the
hysterical type.
The girl who matures too early by replacing sexual feelings for her father with motherly instincts later becomes a mother type with
little sexual interest. She becomes attracted to immature males of the son-type whom she can mother.
Each type has an unresolved conﬂict, the daughter type between acceptance and rejection of herself, the sister type between
passivity and aggression, the romantic type between surrender and resistance and the mother type between submission and
dominance.
In the male the conﬂict of the son type is between acceptance and rejection of himself, he is the playboy type, immature and
irresponsible. The brother type assumes the role of protector, his conﬂic t is between aggression to protect the woman and passivity
or inability to satisfy his own needs. The conﬂict of the Casanova-like hero or knight type is between emotional surrender and
resistance to the female, while the authoritative father type is torn between dominance and submission.
ORGASM
There is a popular misconception that if a man ejaculates or a woman has pleasurable feelings at the height of the sexual act that this
is an orgasm. It is not necessarily so, at least in the view of bio-energetic  psychology. Usually there is just a climax with more or less
of an orgastic component.
A full orgasm may be described about as follows: With climax approaching, the formerly voluntary body movements suddenly
become involuntary with a strong increase in genital sensations. Just before the discharge, melting sensations are felt in the pelvis.
Orgasm starts with a strong contra ction around the base of the penis and the opening of the vagina. A ﬂood of feelings rushes
downwards while the whole body convulses in unison with each involuntary forward swing of the pelvis. Now the whole body is
engulfed in melting and streaming sensations. Ejaculation takes place in pulsating squirts. There may be a sensation of ﬂying or
spinning or something similar at the hight of the orgasm. Afterwards there is a full relaxation with an inner glowing and a feeling of
utter satisfaction and contentment.
In order to achieve such a full orgasm, there must be a sufﬁcient build-up  of sexual energy beforehand. If the body is generally low in
energy, if the energy ﬂow is blocked through armouring or if there is insufﬁcient foreplay or feeling awareness, then there will be only
a low charge of sexual energy in the pelvis and consequently a weak discharge of energy and feelings.
A strong ﬁeld of sexual energy in one partner will help the other to achie ve a greater charge, if both are fully charged they will greatly
increase each other's orgasm. Conversely, with a weakly charged partner or with masturbation our orgastic feelings will be
diminished, usually also with oral sex, as close contact of the fully charged genital areas is required for maximal potential.
A strong sexual charge consists not only of sexual energies, but also of feeling energies. Normally, tender, loving feelings towards
each other greatly help to increase our sexual charge. As an emergency measure when such tender feelings are blocked, some can10/30/24, 2:57 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Sexuality
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_Our_Emotions/Sexuality.html 3/10achieve the necessary emotional excitement with sadistic or masochistic measures, sometimes just with a fantasy of raping or being
raped. Also various forms of pornography are used as a substitute, usually an inadequate one, for tender, loving feelings.
With strong, loving feelings, on the other hand, an almost irresistible desire may build up to melt into each other. The sexual charge
and physical union then follow as a natural consequence. This will automatically lead to a true and full orgasm. For a woman who has
difﬁculty coming to an orgasm it may be made easier if her partner positions himself on top somewhat higher than usual so that their
navels meet. With this, the shaft of the penis will rub or press during movement inside the vagina in addition also on the clitoris.
Kinsey investigated a large number of American males and found six types of climax, none of which approached a natural, full
orgasm as described before. However, such a full orgasm is possible after overcoming bodily rigidities and emotional inhibitions, and
it is a 'natural' for more 'primitive' races without sexual inhibitions.
The most common and obvious signs of only a partial orgasm are:
1) a clitoral rather than a deep vaginal climax;
2) feelings conﬁned to the sexual organs rather than full body feelings of melting;
3) inhibition of movements, especially of the

Surrender
We cannot through our own personal power solve our
psychological problems. Our willful efforts to control life
and manipulate our destiny has brought us into the state
of stress and agitation from which we are seeking relief. If
we could have solved our problems ourselves, we certainly
would have done so long ago. Nor is it of great importance
to figure out the details of our psychological problems.
Selfishness, which is lack of devotion, and the seeking for
love externally leave us dry and discontented inwardly.
We must learn to surrender our personal problems,
then they cannot cling to us. Our personal problems are
merely manifestations of the personal self. There is no
solution for them within the realm of the personal self.
Only by giving up this self can the problems caused by it
go away. Surrender is the key to this. After all, we are not
responsible for how our bodies work, for the movement of
time, or the marvelous order of the universe. Were there
not a higher guiding power, we could not even breathe. So
let us stop pretending that we are in charge of things or
have the capacity to change them. Let us surrender to the
Power that is always in control of things, which is the love
that lies in our own deepest heart.
Surrender is the quickest way to go beyond all our
problems. Yet this is not surrender to a person or belief. It
is surrender to the inherent beneficence and consciousness
of life that we all sense when we are free of selfish motives.
Such surrender wins all things. However, surrender gener-
ally requires a form. We may have to surrender to the
Divine through the medium of a friend, a teacher, or a
form of God. The Hindu greeting "Namaste" itself means
"I give reverence to our surrender to the Divine in you." Ayurveda and the Mind
Compassion
Devotion and compassion are two sides of the same
higher feeling capacity which is the right usage of emo-
tion. We should feel devotion to the Divine and to those
individuals who embody divine qualities, like our spiritu-
al guides. We should feel compassion for all creatures, par-
ticularly those who are less fortunate than we are.
Compassion, however, is not pity, which is a debilitat-
ing and arrogant emotion. Compassion is feeling together
or having a common feeling, regarding the other as one-
self. It is not merely trying to help others, but recognizing
that the sufferings and joys of others are also our own.
Without compassion for other creatures, devotion to
God may become a personal fantasy. To be devoted to God
means to feel compassion for all creatures, including those
who may worship God differently or may not worship God
at all. Compassion is a recognition of the Divine presence
in all beings. On the other hand, without devotion, com-
passion tends to become arrogant. We as individuals can-
not save the world, particularly if we have not already
saved ourselves. To try to help others without first know-
ing ourselves is like trying to save other people in the
water while we ourselves are drowning.
Yet, at whatever stage we are at in life, we can always
do service to others, recognizing the limitations of what
we may know and letting a higher grace work through us.
The highest form of compassion is also devotion. It is to
seek the descent of Divine grace for the benefit of all.
Forms of Devotion
God or the Creator is the primal teacher, the supreme
guru and also the original doctor or healer of all the uni-
verse. We can acknowledge him in whatever form we like. Spiritual Therapies
as he takes whatever form is dear to the individual, but we
will not find inner healing without his grace.
The Divine can be worshipped in many different names
and forms. In fact, we should worship God in a form per-
sonal to us or our relationship to him will not be direct.
We should choose the relationship with the Divine that is
easiest for us to follow — father, mother, friend, brother,
sister, or beloved. The mother, being the most primary and
intimate of all relationships, is generally the easiest.
God is perhaps best worshipped in the feminine form of
the Divine Mother. She contains within herself all love,
beauty, joy and grace. Her power works through Nature,
as the great beauty and delight of creation and as the evo-
lutionary force that causes us to seek spiritual growth. God
can also be seen as the Divine Father and Nature as the
Divine Mother. Nature in this regard is not gross matter
but the creative intelligence shaping and guiding it.
Devotion to God is part of the seeking to know who we
really are, which is God. Once we gain knowledge of our
inner Self, we transcend both Nature and God (the Cre-
ator) as realities outside ourselves. We become one with
the Divine and with the pure consciousness behind the
universe.
Developing Devotion
The best way to develop devotion is to choose a partic-
ular form of God to worship. Devotion works easiest if it
begins with the use of a form. After all, it is attachment to
form that is the basis of our mind's functioning and its
problems. There are certain pointers we can follow. The
main thing is to have a specific form of the Divine that we
worship on a regular basis.70 Ayurveda and the Mind
1. Choose a particular relationship to cultivate with
God as father, mother, beloved or friend, as the
creator, preserver or destroyer of the universe,
whatever is closest to one's heart.
2. Choose a particular form to worship like Shiva,
Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Kali, Tara, Kwan Yin,
or the Madonna, whatever is most inspiring. Such
a form may be an image of God, male or female,
or that of a great teacher or avatar. The figure of
a great guru or teacher can also be used.
3. Take the Divine name or mantra of the form of
Divinity to repeat like Om, Ram, Namah Shiv-
aya, Hare Krishna and so on.
4. Do daily rituals, offerings and prayers to this cho-
sen Deity. Meditate on the Deity as your true Self.
Rituals
Rituals are important for consecrating our healing
practices. They are major healing practices in themselves
and part of the spiritual therapy of Ayurveda. They put us
in the proper frame of mind to receive the energies of our
deeper consciousness. Rituals are the basis of most devo-
tional practices, which should, however, go beyond them
to meditation.
Rituals are important in psychological treatment
because they bring the body and senses of the patient into
the healing process. They serve to provide positive impres-
sions to nourish and heal the mind. Very helpful are fire
rituals71 in which psychological negativity is offered into
the Divine fire for purification. Standard Hindu puja or
devotional worship consists of offerings for all the five
senses: a fragrant oil like sandalwood for earth, liquid food Spiritual Therapies 251 A
for water, a ghee lamp for fire, incense for air and a flower
for ether. It is a well-organized ritual for purifying the
body and mind. Rituals are the most basic devotional prac-
tices. We should offer them to God in whatever form we
choose to worship. They set the stage for all other prac-
tices.
Prayer and Mantra
Prayers are supplications to the Deity for help, love or
guidance. We should learn to communicate with God,
who, after all, is our own inner Self. We should develop a
line of communication not only with God but with all cre-
ation, honoring the Divine consciousness inherent in all
that exists. We can pray to the Divine and ask for help in
dealing with our psychological or physical problems. God
never refuses any sincere request, though he does not
respond to mere ego desires.
The Deity also possesses a name or mantra. The name
is the most important factor in devotional worship. We
should resort to repeating the Divine Name whenever our
minds become agitated or upset. If we make the Divine
Name our constant companion, nothing can really disturb
us in life. We should constantly keep the Name in our
minds and repeat it whenever we can. Yet we should call
on the Divine without ulterior motives. God or Truth
exists not for our personal benefit but for the good of all,
in which our own highest good resides as well.
As a first step, we should meditate upon the form of the
Deity but we should also strive to see that form every-
where. We should learn to see it in others, in the world of
Nature, and in ourselves. We should begin to talk to this
form and seek its guidance. We should also try to under-
stand the form and what it means on an inner level. Ayurveda and the Mind
Along with the form of the deities in the Hindu and
Buddhist traditions, an energy pattern, yantra or mandala,
like Sri Yantra (note illustration), is depicted. One can
meditate


 on top of the cabbage, which is about lcm smaller in diameter than
the bowl. The gap will allow the fermentation gases to escape. On top of the
plate place something heavy enough to keep the cabbage constantly sub
merged in its juice. Cover the whole thing with a kitchen towel to keep it in the dark. It should take 5-7 days inside the house for the sauerkraut to be
ready, (it will take two weeks in a cool place, like a garage). Sauerkraut is
delicious with any meal and it can be added to your homemade soups and
stews.

Baked vegetables
You can bake any combination of the following vegetables:
onions, white or red or shallots
peppers, red, yellow, orange or green
Brussels sprouts
courgettes or marrow
pumpkin
winter squashes
large mushrooms
turnips
aubergines (eggplant)
Peal the onion and cut into halves or quarters. Shallots do not need to be
peeled, just bake them in their skins.
Cut the peppers into quarters, remove seeds.
Peel the outer leaves from Brussels sprouts.
Peel and cut into large chunks courgettes, marrow and pumpkin.
Remove the seeds from the pumpkin and the marrow. Rub courgettes and
marrow with salt.
Peel and slice winter squash, remove the seeds.
Peel the turnips and cut like potato chips.
Cut the aubergine into chunks and rub with salt.
Rub plenty of goose or duck fat on the vegetables, place them in a baking
tray and bake at 150°C (300°F) for 20-40 minutes or until a sharp knife goes
through easily. Serve with meat or fish. 7. Baking at home
The basic breadlcakelmuffin recipe
2% cups of ground almonds
?/4 cup of softened butter (or coconut oil, goose fat,
duck fat or home-made yoghurt or cr^me fraiche)
3 eggs
Ground almonds you can buy in most health food shops. Instead of ground
almonds you can use walnuts, pecans and hazelnuts, which you can grind
in your food processor to a flour consistency.
Mix all the ingredients well. You may want to add more or less ground
almonds to reach porridge-like consistency. Grease your baking pan with
butter or ghee, line it with greased baking paper and put the mixture into it.
Bake in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for about an hour. Check occasionally
with a dry clean knife, if the knife comes out dry then the bread is ready.
To make variations of this bread you can add some salt, pepper, dried
herbs, tomato puree, grated cheddar cheese (if well tolerated), nuts, seeds,
dried fruit, fresh or frozen berries, chunks of cooking apple, grated carrot,
chunks of pumpkin (without the skin and seeds). If you want to sweeten
the mixtureadd Vz cup of honey into it and/or i7» cups of dried fruit (dates,
apricots, raisins, figs) and/or 2 ripe bananas. If the dried fruit is too hard,
soak it in water for a few hours to soften.
Improvise, try to make your own variations. You can bake this mixture as
a bread or cake or in small paper cups as muffins or make a pizza base. It
really is very easy and manageable even for the most inexperienced cooks.
Pizza
Make a pastry following the previous recipe. Spread it on a baking tray cov
ered with greased baking paper in a layer about 2 cm thick. Bake in the
oven at i50°C (3oo°F) for about 30 minutes. Check with a dry knife if it is
ready
Cool down. Spread tomato puree on the top and sprinkle with salt.
On top of the tomato puree you can put your choice of filling: slices of
red/yellow/green pepper, mushrooms, pieces of cooked meat or sausages,
slices of tomato, chopped greens, anchovies, fish, prawns and pineapple,
etc.
Put grated hard cheese (cheddar and/or parmesan) on top of your filling if your patient is at the stage when he or she can tolerate cheese. If the
cheese is not tolerated then you can use home-made mayonnaise instead.
8. Desserts
Baked apples
With a sharp knife scoop out the cores with the seeds from large cooking
apples. Fill each apple with a teaspoon of honey a teaspoon of butter, ground
or coarsely chopped apricot kernels (or walnuts, or any other available nuts,
or desiccated coconut). Add a dried apricot per apple (optional) cut into
small pieces. Bake in the oven ati6o-i8o°C (32o-36o°F) for 20-25 minutes.
Crbme-caramel
For one person you need:
3 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon of honey
ground cinnamon
Multiply the ingredients per number of people you want to serve.
Mix all the ingredients well. Pour into shallow ramekin dishes (or any
other small terracotta dishes): you need one ramekin dish per person.
Sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Preheat the oven to i50°C (300°F). Bake
for 30-40 minutes.
Apple crumble
4 cooking apples
2 eggs
carrot pulp from juicing 2 lb. of carrots on lb carrots, very finely chopped
10 dried apricots
% a cup of honey
% a cup ofunsalted butter
Cut the apples into pieces and place on the bottom of your baking dish.
Chop dried apricots into small pieces.
Mix together eggs, butter, carrot pulp, chopped dried apricots and
honey. Put the mixture on top of the apples, mix slightly with the apples.
Bake in the oven at 150 °C (30o°F) for approximately 40 minutes. Apple pie
4 large cooking apples
a handful of raisins
ll2 cup of honey
1 cup of fresh or frozen blackcurrants
fresh pumpkin peeled and finely chopped, 2-3 cups
pitted dried dates, 2 cups
1 cup of hazelnuts
'I2 cup of ground almonds
Soak the dates in 2 cups of water for 2-3 hours. Drain the dates and reserve.
Put the soaking water into your baking dish. Add cored and sliced apples,
raisins and blackcurrants. Spread them evenly and sprinkle with the
ground almonds. Pour honey on top spreading evenly.
In a food processor blend the dates, pumpkin and hazelnuts. Spoon out
this mixture on top of the pie spreading evenly. Slightly press and smooth
with a spoon or a knife so that the top looks like the top of a pie. Bake at
150-170°C (300-350T) for an hour.
Winter squash cake
6 eggs
2 cups of grated (packed tightly) winter squash with sweet orange flesh
(buttercup, butternut or other)
'/? a cup of honey
73 cup ofbutter (or ghee, coconutfat, goose fat or duck fat)
3 cups of ground almonds
3 medium-size apples
Grease your baking dish and cover the bottom with apples, cored and cut
into slices. If your patient's digestive system is sensitive, then peel the
apples. Otherwise you can leave the skins on.
Blend the rest of the ingredients in your blender

 ef fect of an inner need for approval from others.
W e begin to love people for what they are, not for what they can do for
us. W e no longer need to exploit others or try to win them over. As our own
level of guilt decreases, our self-esteem expands. Relationships are now
based on integrity, and we are no longer subject to emotional blackmail. As
a corollary, we stop trying to blackmail others with emotional pressure.
Because relationships are based on honesty, and they exist and function on ahigher plane, there is no longer a fear of alienation or feeling of aloneness.
The surrendered person no longer needs others for personal fulfillment but
is with them out of choice because of love and enjoyment. Compassion for
others and for their humanness transforms life and all relationships.
The State of Inner Fr eedom
What does life become when one continuously surrenders? What is
possible?
In the surrendered state, we are independent of the outer world as a
source of satisfaction because the source of happiness has been found
within us. Happiness is shared with others so that, in relationships, the
surrendered person is supportive, sympathetic, encouraging, patient, and
tolerant. There is an ef fortless appreciation of the worth and values of
others and a consideration for their feelings. Power struggles, being “right,”
and proving our point have been relinquished. There is an automatic
nonjudgmental attitude and the supporting of others to grow, learn,
experience, and fulfill their own potentialities. There is an easy-going,
nurturing acceptance of others. W e feel relaxed, vibrant, and full of ener gy.
Life events flow automatically and ef fortlessly. W e no longer respond from
a motive of sacrifice or “giving up” something for others; instead, we see
ourselves as being of loving service to others and the world. Life events are
seen as opportunities rather than challenges. The personality is gentle and
open with a willingness to let go and surrender nonstop because of the
unfolding and ongoing inner process of continuous revelation.
As the process unfolds, we feel an inner transformation. This leads to a
consistent feeling of gratitude, pleasure, and certainty about our goals.
There is a living in the present rather than a preoccupation with the past or
the future. There is a trusting defenselessness because the power that was
projected onto the world has been re-owned. There is an inner feeling of
strength and invulnerability leading to an inner serenity.
At first, there is the identification, “I am the body.” As the mechanism
of surrender continues, it becomes quite obvious that, “I am the mind that
experiences the body, not the body.” As more feelings and belief systems
are surrendered, there eventually comes the awareness, “I am not the mind
either, but that which witnesses and experiences the mind, emotions, and
body.”Through inner observation, there is the realization of something that
remains constant and the same, no matter what goes on in the external
world or with the body, emotions, or mind. W ith this awareness comes a
state of total freedom. The inner Self has been discovered. The silent state
of A wareness that underlies all movement, activity, sound, feeling, and
thought is discovered to be a timeless dimension of peace. Once identified
with this A wareness, we are no longer at the ef fect of the world, the body,
or the mind, and with this A wareness come an inner calmness, stillness, and
a profound sense of inner peace. W e realize that this is what we were
always seeking but didn’ t know it, because we had gotten lost in the maze.
W e had mistakenly equated ourselves with the outer phenomena of our
hectic life—the body and its experiences, the obligations, the jobs, the titles,
the activities, the problems, and the feelings. But now we realize that we are
the timeless space in which the phenomena are happening. W e are not the
flickering images playing out their drama on the movie screen, but the
screen itself—a nonjudgmental witness of the unfolding movie of life, with
no beginning and no end, infinite in its potential. These progressive
realizations of our true nature prepare the ground for the Ultimate
Realization of the identity of Consciousness with Divinity Itself.
CHAPTER
18
R E L A T I O N S H I P S
Because they are so intimately connected with our basic desires for love
and security, relationships quickly bring up our innermost feelings. For that
reason, they are extremely valuable, no matter whether the relationship is
classified as good or bad. In the process of emotional emancipation,
everything is equally valuable. It is necessary to remind ourselves that
feelings are programs; that is, they are learned responses that often have a
purpose. That purpose is directly related to achieving an ef fect on the other
person’ s feelings and, by doing so, to influence their feelings toward
ourselves and to fulfill our own inner goals.
W e will look at common emotional reactions and examine what their
real purpose is. Emotional reactions have nothing to do with love, for love
is a state of oneness with another. Love is not just an emotion that comes
and goes. What often passes for love in common human understanding is
primarily attachment, dependency, and possessiveness.
Negative Feelings
As we shall see, all emotions toward others involve the basic belief that we
are incomplete within ourselves and, therefore, others are viewed and
utilized as a means to an end. Although we may not be able to influence the
other person in the way we would like, the utilization of the other person
still occurs on the level of fantasy and expectation. W e also discover that
much of what we experience in a relationship is happening only in our
imagination. Let’ s start first with the most negative emotions; we willdiscover what their underlying purpose is and the other person’ s likely
response.
Anger
The first feelings we will start with are the most negative: feelings of hate,
malice, anger, rage, revenge, and violence. It is obvious that the underlying
fantasy here is to eliminate, banish, kill, destroy, injure, hurt, frighten, and
intimidate. The other person’ s likely response is to avoid us, to hate us in
return, and to bring about a counter -attack. Lesser forms of anger are
criticism, criticalness, resentment, sulking, stewing, and negative judgments
about others. The emotional purpose is to punish others, make them feel
sorry, try to force them to change their feelings or behavior, make them
suf fer, get even with them, diminish and devalue them. This, of course, also
results in the other person’ s response of counter -criticism, counter -
resentment, and avoidance.
T o handle this area, we have to realize that almost everyone has these
fantasies. Playing ostrich with them, thinking that they are wicked or that
we are guilty, will not resolve them. W e have to come up to the level of
courage and look at our worst feelings, admit that they are part of the
condition of being human, and remember that we are only held accountable
for what we do with them. It is obvious that these negative feelings take an
enormous emotional toll on our own inner selves. That reason alone is
suf ficient to warrant looking at them and letting go of them.
Looking at the feelings on the level of interpersonal relationships, we
now discover another law of consciousness. Our feelings and thoughts
always have an effect on other persons and affect our r elationships,
whether these thoughts or feelings ar e verbalized, expr essed, or not.  W e
will not, at this point, go into the discussion of the mechanics of exactly
how this comes about, but it is currently an area of research of modern
advanced quantum physics, especially that area concerned with high ener gy
subatomic particles and their relationship to thoughts and thought forms.
W e can likely intuit the truth of this law of consciousness from our own
experience. W e generally know, for example, when someone is angry
toward us, even if they say nothing about it. Sensing their repressed angry
feeling, we might ask, “Is something wrong?” Even when they reply, “Oh
nothing,” we are still aware of the ener gy of anger and upset.It is somewhat dismaying to discover the truth of this interfacing at the
ener getic level, but anyone can discover it by inner investigation. The
overall attitudes we hold about another person are influencing that other
person’ s feelings and attitudes about us whether we express them or not.
W omen in our society are more intuitive than men; they are generally more
consciously aware that their thoughts and feelings are known by others.
T rue psychics, of course, are merely people who are experts at intuition.
When first discovering the truth of this, we might go through sort of a
mild paranoia. Most everyone is brought up to believe that our thoughts and
feelings are private af fairs and nobody else’ s business, that all minds are
separated, and that emotions happen only within the confines of the body.
As we begin to investigate this area, we find that often the set of feelings
we hold about another person is mirrored back to us by their attitude and
that, when we change our inner attitude about them, their attitude changes
abruptly. W e are unconsciously influencing others all the time because of
the feelings we

 EXERCISES FOR LESSON 61. What physical ailments that you currently suffer from are hereditary and run inyour family? Think about when these ailments manifested in your body. What wereyou going through emotionally when this happened. 2. Are there hereditary diseases or conditions that you fear you will suffer?Write down an intention for yourself hat you will make life choices to avoid these outcomes.For each condition, make a list of the life choices (physical, emotional, spiritual) that youare committed to following through on for your health.LESSON 7: Time Isn’t Your EnemyWATCH LESSON 7 VIDEO BY DEEPAK CHOPRA ONLINE HERE: http://blip.tv/play/AYGpjBMC

This lesson aims to breaks us free from the effects of time and its seemingly inevitable consequences ofaging and decay. We can turn time from being an enemy to an ally.· Time isn’t working against you, it doesn’t cause you to age. Everyone needs to overcome thisoutworn belief. We can stop giving in to time as if it rules our lives.· To reset our agenda for the body, we must shift our attitude to understanding the changes in ourbody as primarily evolving forward, not only eroding away. These constant invisible forces varyin dominance.· When evolution gains the upper hand, we feel expansive, optimistic, forward-looking, eager todiscover new things. In that mode, there’s all the time in the world. We can forget time and live asif it didn’t exist (as lovers do, or people totally absorbed in work or play). At other times erosiongains the upper hand. Time isn’t enough to get things done, and what time there is exhausts us.Bored and depressed, we long to stop moving, perhaps even to stop living.· The two faces of time are silently battling for supremacy. When you age, erosion slowly wins. Yetsomething much deeper is going on. The “new old age” proves that erosion can be resisted at thelevel of beliefs and attitudes. There is no need to buy into any belief that promotes erosion. Farbetter to assume that awareness can change any energy pattern at will.· Nature allows for creative leaps in evolutionary growth. Furthermore, there is no indication thatmemory has any limits either. It’s evolution could keep unfolding without end.· Our life and even our DNA deﬁes the phenomenon of entropy which causes energy to disperseand break down. By taking in more energy than you give off, you are stopping time. Time runs outonly when energy runs out.· Mastery over time is built into all of the biological clocks that govern your body. If we allow thesenatural rhythms to function without interference, then time is our ally. However, if we force ourown limited conception of time and deadlines upon ourselves we disrupt these rhythms andbecome a victim of time. Whatever breaks down your body’s timing, creates aging. Invisible factors of erosion and aging1. Unpredictability – Random events disrupt your body’s rhythms.2. Disorder, confusion-- A breakdown of external order leads to inner disorder.3. Accidents – Mistakes in your life lead to mistake in your body.4. Trauma, sickness-- When wounded, your body loses track of time.5. Violence – When attacked, your body’s timing is shattered.6.Chaos -- When all sense of order is destroyed, your body cannot manage time at all. Making Time Your Ally1. Keep regular hours, eat and sleep on a regular schedule.2. Avoid drastic changes in diet and activity.3. Set up an orderly work environment. Reduce distractions.4. Rest quietly once to twice during the day to let our body retune itself.5. Take yourself out of stressful situations sooner rather than later.6. Take your time; don’t rush.7. Make decisions when they arise. Don’t procrastinate or get distracted.8. Protect yourself, avoid the temptation to plunge into high-risk situations.9. Put your house and ﬁnances in order.10. Address underlying anxiety and underlying anger. Learn to do this without losing control orhurting others.11. Become more resilient emotionally.12.Live as if you have all the time in the world.
 EXERCISES FOR LESSON 71. What are your biggest struggles with time? Journal about your personal conﬂicts with time. How areyou making time your enemy? What bad habits are contributing to your unhealthy connection with time?What small steps can you take to stop seeing time as your enemy?  Spread your renewed commitment tobetter time management with the rest of the world. Write an intent on how you plan on creating ahealthier relationship with time.LESSON 8: The Soul Is Your Spiritual BodyWATCH LESSON 8 VIDEO BY DEEPAK CHOPR ONLINE: http://blip.tv/play/AYGpjCAC

Our approach to the soul is not to seek a metaphysical deﬁnition, but rather to look to its function as thatwhich connects us to God.The soul acts like a step-down transformer for the unlimited, universal spiritual power of God and ourindividual human life.The soul serves to get us past the blocks put up by materialism, but at the same time it gets us past the faith demanded by religion. The soul pushes our understanding just far enough that it remains useful, butwithout depending on faith because the soul can be mapped, even though it is invisible.Functioning as your spiritual body, the soul generates and organizes the energy of love, the energy ofcompassion, the awareness of truth, the awareness of creativity and intelligence. It fulﬁlls needs that arejust as basic as the need for food and oxygen that your physical body serves.Simple Map of SoulGOD = inﬁnite energy, love, creativity, intelligenceSOUL = stepping down of energy, love, creativity, intelligenceMIND/BODY = human level of energy, love, creativity, intelligenceAny limitation of the mind can be traced back to distortions of energy at a subtle level. The body’s energyis dependent on the mind, and once we ﬁnd out why our thoughts, beliefs, wishes, and aspirations are notbeing fulﬁlled, removing those obstacles will only serve to liberate the body even more.A practical orientation to the soul frees us from the disturbing implications of the religious and scientiﬁcviews of life’s purpose. With religion, we are faced with a God that may reject and hate us for sins even ifwe strive to obey or make unwitting mistakes. While science tells us that even the most cherished aspectsof our lives, love, compassion, beauty, and joy are based on random brain activity, genetic mutations andsurvival instincts.A new understanding is needed for the soul level as we found for the body. And ﬂawed understanding leads to breakdowns of the spiritual body, as it does for the physical body. As before, we will use breakthroughs in understanding of the soul to heal the breakdowns. True knowledge of our spiritual nature will fulﬁll our deepest human aspirations.To resurrect your soul, you must do the opposite of what your past conditioning tells you to. Instead ofturning to a higher power, you turn to yourself. Instead of leaving your body behind, you take it on thespiritual journey. Instead of condemning physical desire and temptation, you follow desire into theunknown region where the soul resides.On its own, the brain can’t produce change. It merely adapts to your intention. Take anything that youwant out of life. Your soul contains for the potential for it to come true. Your mind brings the potential tothe level of wishing, dreaming, wanting, and desiring. Your brain then produces the result; you learn howto achieve what you want. Flow chart of life:Soul carries the potential à  Mind carries the intention à  Brain produces the resultMastering the skill of subtle action requires these steps:1.  Inspiration- becoming genuinely interested2.  Turning inward- pursuing your interest spontaneously3.  Discipline- practicing until you see improvement4. Patience- sticking with practice until the new skill is mastered
       EXERCISES FOR LESSON 81. Journal about your personal relationship with your soul. Do you ﬁnd yourself mostly tuned in ortuned out? When do you feel tuned in the most, and when do you feel tuned in the least? What patterns do you notice? How can you increase the frequency of the times you feel tuned in? 2. What is an intention that you've been wanting to achieve? Do you have a lifelong dream, such asstarting a business or becoming a community leader? Do you have a habit you wish to change or improveupon? Instead of seeking for a higher power for help, see what happens when you seek inward to your own inner guide. Take the time to get used to this new perception. 3. Share your intention with others on how you want to be tuned in.

Garlic Chutney
Garlic supports appetite, digestion, lactation, grounding, and
immunity—as long as it is well cooked and properly prepared. Garlic
also greatly minimizes the risk of infection and generally speeds up
the post-birth recovery process.
This recipe for garlic chutney, from Ysha Oakes’ s Touching
Heaven,  ensures that the garlic is cooked and the moisture has
evaporated, allowing the garlic to release its helpful properties
without negative side ef fects to baby or mother. Mamas can take 1
teaspoon of this chutney with savory meals, beginning three days
postpartum, and continue throughout the forty-two days. For
example, it can be mixed into a soup broth, rice dishes, or
guacamole. Pitta mamas or mamas showing signs of excess heat in
body, mind, or emotions should consume this chutney more
sparingly.
Ingredients4 tablespoons ghee
½ cup peeled garlic cloves
1 cup unsweetened coconut, finely shredded
4 tablespoons black peppercorns
½ teaspoon coriander seeds
1¼ teaspoons salt
juice of one lime
Instructions
1.Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a skillet on medium heat and
add the garlic cloves. Sauté them on medium heat for about four
minutes.
2.When the garlic cloves have cooled, puree the garlic along with
the rest of the ingredients in a blender to a fine paste. Add a little
water for ease in grinding.
3.Heat the rest of the ghee, add the ground paste, and sauté on
medium heat for about twelve minutes.
Herbal Chewing Mix
Build your digestive fire with this simple preparation, another recipe
from Ysha Oakes’ s Touching Heaven.  Enjoy 1–2 teaspoons after
each meal starting three days postpartum, continuing for forty-two
days. Chew well for maximum benefit. Keep a day or two’ s supply of
the mixture in a small bowl on your dining table and take some with
you to make it available right after a meal. Keep the remaining mix
refrigerated. You can experiment with dif ferent measures of the
ingredients for variety in taste. For a dif ferent texture, grind roasted
sesame, fennel, and coconut in a cof fee grinder.Ingredients
½ cup fennel seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cardamom
1 tablespoon clove
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon mineral salt (or black salt if available)
Instructions
1.In a cast-iron pan, toast fennel and sesame seeds until they turn
light brown (the sesame seeds will pop, so cover the pan with a
splatter screen or glass lid).
2.Add coconut and toast for a few more minutes, until everything
turns golden brown; stir constantly to prevent burning.
3.Place the toasted coconut, sesame, and fennel seeds in a bowl.
4.Add the remaining spices and stir well.
5.Let the mixture cool completely before storing in the fridge,
keeping out just what you can use in the next day or two.
Hot Milk T onic
Ayurvedic medicine views milk as uniquely rejuvenative, as milk is
valued for its ability to nourish the deepest tissue layers more quickly
than any other food. This hot milk tonic will soothe your nerves,
encourage healthy digestion and elimination, restore strength and
vitality, and build a healthy milk supply. If you can find a local sourceof raw milk, that is ideal. Otherwise, a cream-top milk from your local
health food store is best.
Ingredients
1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon clove buds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cinnamon stick
¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
¼ teaspoon fennel seeds
1 cup whole cream-top milk
1 cup water
iron-rich sweetener to taste
Instructions
Bring all ingredients to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and partially
cover. Simmer for ten minutes, then remove from the heat. Enjoy
every night before bed. Be sure to not mix milk with any salty foods!
Almond Date Shake
This shake made from almonds and dates is a nourishing and
delicious ojas-building drink that can be had warm or at room
temperature any time of day (or night!).
Ingredients
1 cup raw almonds
4 cups water6 soaked dates
½ teaspoon cardamom
¼ teaspoon ginger powder
10 saf fron threads
Instructions
Soak the almonds overnight and then squeeze the skins of f.
Blend the almonds with all other ingredients on high speed for about
a minute.
Warm Oatmeal Shake
Oats build ojas and are very nourishing during pregnancy, birth, and
postpartum. This warm oatmeal shake can also be used during labor
for energy.
Ingredients
4 cups water
½ cup oats (soaked for at least 30 minutes, then rinsed)
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cardamon
pinch of salt
¼ cup soaked cashews
4 tablespoons maple syrup or other iron-rich sweetener (or more, to
taste)
1 tablespoon gheeInstructions
Boil the water, then add oats and spices.
Cook until oats are broken down and the porridge is soupy—about
ten minutes.
Pour into the blender. Add cashews and maple syrup and blend on
low speed (lightly covered so that the blender doesn’t explode from
the heat!), and gradually move toward blending on high speed until
the mixture is smooth.
Pour the shake into a mug and top with ghee. Enjoy it while it’ s
warm.
Warm Yam Smoothie
Yams are a perfect postpartum root vegetable. They are smooth,
building, grounding, and sweet—all qualities that soothe vata dosha.
This yam smoothie is warm and blended with nut milk and digestive
spices, making it nourishing yet light and easy to digest: the perfect
postpartum combination.
Ingredients
1 cup skinned and boiled yams
2–4 Medjool dates, pitted
2 cups water
4 cups fresh almond milk
½-inch chunk fresh ginger (or ¼ teaspoon ginger powder)
½ teaspoon turmeric
pinch of black pepper

Boil the yams and the dates in 2 cups of water; when the yams are
soft, remove them along with the dates.
Put the yams and dates in a blender; add almond milk and spices.
Blend until smooth. Enjoy warm.
Kanji: Rice Porridge for Mamas
Rice porridge, also known as kanji or congee, is popular throughout
Asia and is the number-one dish for new mothers to eat during the
first few days after birth. Traditionally used in both Chinese medicine
and Ayurveda, this simple dish contains all the qualities necessary to
jump-start postpartum recovery. Hot, soft, oily, sweet, and well
spiced, this rice pudding is deeply nourishing as well as comforting.
It not only soothes the nerves, but it also nourishes the tissues,
stimulates digestion, and rebuilds the blood. Kanji is medicine for
mamas!
You can gradually decrease the amount of water in this kanji
recipe as your digestive capacity increases.
Ingredients*
½ cup basmati rice
8 cups water
½ cup sucanat (iron-rich sugar)
¼ cup ghee
1 teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
½ teaspoon clove powder¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
*Note:  If you are craving salty, you can use the same spice blend as
in the kitchari recipe instead of the sweet spices listed here after
three days postpartum.
Instructions
Rinse rice several times until the water runs clear. Bring water to a
boil and add rice. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook with the lid of f,
stirring occasionally for several hours. It is important to cook this dish
long enough so that the rice actually breaks down and loses its form
—it works great in a slow cooker! (Add all ingredients to the slow
cooker and cook on low for eight hours.) When the rice begins to
thicken, add sugar, spices, and ghee. When the consistency is
gelatinous, take the kanji of f the heat and serve hot with a spoonful
of ghee on top.
Nourishing Oatmeal
Oatmeal is grounding, nourishing, and soothing for the nervous
system—all desirable qualities to cultivate after the intensity of birth.
Its vata-soothing properties promote postpartum healing and
restoration. Oatmeal can be a bit heavy, so this recipe lightens it up
with some warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to
make it easier to digest. Ground flax seeds and dates will further
oatmeal’ s rejuvenative and lactation-boosting properties. It needs to
be liquidy, slimy, and smooth to have the desired ef fects of being
digestible and calming.
Ingredients
¾ cup oats (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)3 cups water (or substitute


 his feet! Each day
thereafter the doctor instructed him to expose more of his body to the direct
gentle rays of the sun. The conditioning period to expose his body to the
sunshine extend ed over a period of weeks. By then his body was
conditioned to more gentle sunshine.
The doctor believed the best healing rays of the sun were in the early
morning and late afternoon. Dad would start his sunbathing program as
early as 7 a.m. and enjoy the early rays of the sun. In the cool morning the
healing rays were at their highest point. By 11 a.m. they began to disappear
and the hot infrared rays took over. This was the time Doctor Rollier
advised his patients not to sunbathe! Then after 3 p.m. they were againallowed to expose their bodies to the gentle rays that had now returned as
the hot infrared rays subsided.  Try it. You will love the gentle healing,
soothing rays of the sun.
We all gr ow healthier in natur e, gentle sunshine and love!
We believe that many people damage their skin by over exposing it to the
sun’s hot midda y harmful rays. Most people are looking for a tan, so they
smear chemical sunscreen on their skin, sit in the hot sun, thinking they are
falsely protected. Studies show that damage is done to the skin by
overdoing this kind of unscientific dangerous sunbathing!
Many people have so much toxic acid in their skin that when rays of
sunshine strike toxic areas, damage is done to their skin. Sunbathing should
be done slowly, so that there is no violent reaction on the skin. This means
that the safer times to sunbathe are before 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m. until
sundown. Y ou will find that as you detoxify your body and eliminate toxins,
you will be able to develop a beautiful natural tan and healthy  glow. Most
people are so full of toxins that when they go out into the sunsh ine all they
get is a sunburn and often it pulls out skin toxins, pimples, etc. The sun’s
rays are powerful. We should use them wisely, with caution and respect!
Fair people, babies and children should use caution and do sunbathing in
gentle sunlight and wear sun hats. Some are now making their own green
tea as a sunscreen. Dad and I wear straw hats – you should also. I’m known
for my Panama hat given to me by Actor Jack Lord of famous Hawaii 5-0 TV
Show.
Doctor Sunshine
Doctor Sunshine’ s speciality is heliotherapy. His great prescription is
solar energy. Each tiny blade of grass, every vine, tree, bush, flower, fruit
and vegetable draws its life from solar energy. All living things on earth
depend on solar energy for their very existence. This earth would be a
barren, frigid place if it were not for the magic rays of the sun. The sun
gives us light... and were it not for light, there would be no you or me!People who are denied the vital rays of the sun have a half-dead look.
They are actually dying for the want of solar energy! Weak, ailing, anemic
people are all sun-starved and, in our opinion, many people are sick simply
because they are starving for sunshine. For example, older people often
suffer from vitam in D deficiency and recent studies show that this nutrient
is important for maintaining, strengthening and repairing human bones.
Gentle Sunshine – the Great Healer
The rays of the sun are powerful germicides! As the skin soaks  up more
of these  rays, it stores enormou s amounts of this germ-killing energy and
vitamin D. The sun provides one of the finest remedies for the nervous
person who suffers from anxiety, worry, frustration, stresses and strains.
When these tense people lie in the gentle sunshine, its powerful rays
provide them with the relaxation that their nerves and bodies need!
Sunshine is a tonic, a stimulant and – above all – the Great Healer! As you
bask in the warm, gentle sunsh ine, millions of nerve endings absorb the
solar energy (rich in vitamin D) and transfer it to your body’ s nervous
system.
Try this experiment to prove the value of sunshine in the matter of life
and death. Find a beautiful green  lawn. Cover up a small space of lawn with
a box. Day by day you will notice that the patch of grass which was full of
healthy rich plant blood (chlorophyll) will start to fade and turn a sickly
yellow. Then tragedy happens – the grass withers and dies. Death by sun
starvation! Please don’ t let this happen to you!
Eat Healthy Sun-Ripened Foods
The same thing happens to your body when deprived of life-giving sun
rays, or when you fail to eat enough sun-cooked foods such as ripe juicy
fruits and vegetables. We must have direct sun rays on our bodies and at
least 60% of food we eat must have been ripened by the sun’s rays! Eat fresh
fruits and vegetables.  When we eat them, we absorb chlorophyll, the rich,
nourishing blood of the plant. Chlorophyll is the pure, distilled solar energy
that the plant has absorbed from the sun, and is the richest and most
nourishing food you can put into your body! “Chlor ophyll is liquidsunshine!” Green plants alone possess the secret of how to capture this
powerful solar energy and pass it on to man and every living creature.
When you get gentle sunshine on the outside of your body while inside your
body you put 60%-70%  organic raw fruits and vegetabl es, you will soon glow
with radiant health!
Vitamin D3 is made when UVB  light from the sun is absorbed by the skin. This is the most natural
form. Most supplements sold today are Vitamin D3 (animal source – lanolin) or Vitamin D2

Daily intakes of Vitamin D (at least) 4,000 IU are needed to reduce risk of cancers, Multiple
Scler osis and Type 1 Diabetes. Only about 10% of U.S. population has levels in this range, mainly
people who work outdoors. Sunlight is a prime Vitamin D source. Fish oil, soymilk & Dole
Portobello Mushr oom Powder are excellent sources of Vitamin D. Check with your health care
practitioner or nutritionist to determine your optimum V itamin D intake.
Gentle Sunbathing Works Miracles!
When you begin sunbathing, start with short time periods until you
condition your body to take more. The best time for beginners to start
taking 10 and 15 minute sunbath s is in the early morning sunshine until 10
a.m. or late afternoon sunshine  after 3 p.m. Between 11 and 3 we usually
avoid stronger, burning rays. Please don’t use sunscreen, the chemicals are
harmful. Sunscr eens do not prevent skin cancers, they promote them. When
absorbed throug h the skin, they disrupt our body’ s balanced hormone
ecosystem (we wear straw hats). Read Elizabeth Plourde’ s new book,
Sunscr eens – Biohazar d: Treat as Hazar dous Waste (amazon.com). See
web: www.sunscr eensbiohazar d.com.
The cool rays of the sun rejuv enate the skin and help keep our eyes
healthy and in focus. The gentle sun is a tonic for frazzled nerves. Its cool
rays calm, quiet and soothe the nerves while helping to promote a relaxedfeeling. You can combine a nap with a sunbath, you will help refill the body
reservoirs with Nerve Force. After gently sunning, pat on some Bragg
Apple Cider V inegar.

Sunshine gives ener gy and life to the earth,to all plants, tr ees and all living cr eatur es.
Fruit bears  the closest relation to light. The sun pours a continuous flood of nourishi ng light into the
fruits, and they furni sh the best potion of food a human being requir es for the mind and body. –
Louisa May Alcott
Gentle sunshine is a soothing tonic, a stimulant and a Great Healer for the body, also sunshine is
healthy for eyes! As you bask in the warm, gentle sunshine (not hot afternoon sun), millions of nerve
endings absorb the energy from the sun and transform it so the body’ s nervous system can use it.

Doctor Exercise
The Body’s Vital Energizer
The Importance of Exercise
You have roughly 640 muscles  and all these muscles must be used! If you
do not use them, you lose them! If they are not used, they then start to lose
their tone, streng th and flexibility! Exercise need not be violent and there are
hundreds of ways to exercise the human body. The best and greatest of all


 divining  rod that reads the movements of Qi, Moisture, and
Blood, assessing whether the Five Organ Networks  are working
harmoniously.
The patient reports on current physical, mental, and emotional
complaints, states, and attitudes. Patterns of sleepin g, eating,
eliminating, working, and relaxing, as well as responses to stress,needs, desires, and goals, are useful information. The doctor wants
to know not only the nature  of the problem, but the nature of the
patient.
Patient and doctor work together, recapturing and re-creating
relevant history, noting tendencies, patterns, and cycles that might
be inuencing the present condition. Together, family health,
emotional, physical, and sexual development, childhood illness and
treatment, injury, trauma and its resolution or lack thereof, and
times of crisis and change all reveal the evolutionary stages leading
to the present state.
Just as every cell in the human body contains in its DNA a
template of the entire organism, so in Chinese medicine any part of
the body (puls e, tongue, eye, ear) broadcasts information  about the
whole. Just as the genes contain all the information about the
potential form and develop ment of the person, any aspect of a
human being can become a window or lens for revealing the state of
the person. This applies not only to the physical body, but to the
thinking and feeling body as well.
METHODS OF  DIAGNOSIS
To observe: complexion, eyes, tongue, nails, hair, gait,
stature, aect, quality of excretions, secretions
To listen and smell: sound of voice and breath; odor of
breath, skin, excretions, secretions
To question: current complaints, health history, family health
history, pattern s of sleep, appetite, weight, elimination, menses,
stress
To touch: texture, humidity, temperature, elasticity of skin;
strength and tone of muscles; exibility, range of motion of
joints; sensitivity of diagnostic points; radial pulse evaluationMAY I PLEASE  SEE YOUR TONGUE?
Of all the possi ble methods of examination, two are considered most
useful and reliable: inspection of the body and coating of the
tongue, and palpation of the pulse at both wrists. The tongue is
characterized by its color, texture, moisture, size, and shape. A
healthy tongue  ts comfortably in the mouth and is smooth, moist,
bright, pink, and rm, with a thin white fur that covers the upper
surface.
Changes in the body of the tongue generally reect long-term
dysfunction of the viscera, whereas changes in the fur reect short-
term disturbances of digestion, uid balance, and heat regulation.
In acute conditions such as a cold or u, the tongue may be red at
the tip with a yellow or white fur that is thicker than normal. The
red tip indicates Heat and possibly fever, and the thickened fur
indicates an Adverse Climate  such as Cold or Dampness.
An enlarged, pale, and abby  tongue with greasy or cheesy white
fur is associate d with deciency and Dampness  or excess Moisture.
This is charact eristic of illnesses such as chronic bronchitis, colitis,
nephritis, or a weak and enlarged heart. The thick, wet quality of
the fur is a sign of excess Moisture  manifested as phlegm in
bronchitis, loose, watery stool in colitis, and edema of the feet and
hands in heart disease or nephritis.
The tongue fur primarily mirrors the Qi of the Stomach. Quite
Yang, this Qi is referred to as the “digestive Fire,” the “smoke of the
Stomach.“ If the fur is yellow, there is an excess of Heat in the
Stomach, associated with stomach pain or acidity, constipation, and
a sore, dry mouth or throat. If the fur is thick and white like cottage
cheese, this reects an extreme accumulation of Cold and Dampness
usually associated with marked deciency of digestive Fire,
manifesting in nausea, bloating, lack of appetite, and loose bowels.
The color and shape of the tongue body also reect the intrinsic
strength and functional capacity of the individual. If the tongue is
very red overall or in one area, this indicates the presence of fever
or inammatio n that is attacking the Organ Networks. The Heart,
Lung, and Liver are most vulnerable to damage by Heat, which showsup as redness on the tip and edges of the tongue. In prolonged
febrile or chronic inammatory illness, the entire tongue may
become deep red. In additio n, if the tongue looks dry or parched,
this indicates serious deplet ion of Moisture, manifested by scanty
urine, constipa tion, thirst, and dryness of the skin and mucous
membranes. In these situations the tongue may appear to be
shrunken and shriveled.
Tongue Zones
Kidney  zone: organs and functions below the navel including
kidneys, adrenals, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, uterus,
ovaries, and testicles; reproduction, elimination, regeneration,
locomotion, vegetative metabolism.Spleen  zone: organs and functions between diaphragm and navel and
between right and left sides including stomach, spleen, pancreas,
transverse colon, lower portion of esophagus, duodenum;  digestion,
assimilation, anabolic metabolism.
Liver zone: organs and functions in lateral areas of the body between
diaphragm and navel including diaphragm, liver, gallbladder,
spleen, hepatic and splenic exures of large intestine; digestion,
elimination, detoxication, catabolic metabolism, coordination.
Lung and Heart  zones: organs and function s above the diaphragm
including, lungs, heart, diaphragm, esophagus, trachea, bronchi,
mouth, nasoph arynx, nose, ears, eyes, brain; respiration, circulation,
digestion, mentation, perception, communication.
Pallor of the tongue usually  indicates chronic deciency of Qi,
Blood, and Moisture. When  this is severe, the tongue may take on a
purplish hue, indicating that deciency has led to stagna tion of the
Blood. This color appears in cases where there is Coldness  of the
body and limbs, tiredness, shortness of breath, and pain in the chest,
abdomen, or joints.
The progress of illness is also disclosed by the tongue. As illness
improves, the quality of the fur and color of the tongue become
more normal. If the illness worsens, so will the tongu e and fur.
Realistically it is common for individuals to have a complex tongue
picture showin g conicting conditions of Heat and Cold, excess and
deciency. For example, the tongue of a person with a chronic
peptic ulcer and acute inuenza might appear abby and pale,
reddened at the tip, with yellow fur in the center. This indicates the
intermingling of chronic interior deciency with acute exterior
excess.
Each part of the tongue corresponds to the condition or state of an
Organ Network. To see the condition of the Heart Network  one looks
at the extreme tip of the tongue, whereas to gauge the state of the
Lung one looks near the tip. So a very red tipped tongue indicatesnot only the general presenc e of Heat, but Heat aecting these two
Networks. A tongue that is purplish indicates poor circulation,
particularly associated with the stagnation of Qi or Blood  in the
Liver. And greasy yellow fur in the center of the tongue reports
Damp Heat  in the Spleen  and Stomach.
Many external factors can also aect the appearance of the
tongue, such as smoking, coee, alcohol, and the use of
pharmaceutical drugs. Under these conditions, the tongue may
reect the eect of these agents rather than give a true picture of
the underlying state. This is why the practitioner never relies on
only one method of diagnosis.
MAY I PLEASE  FEEL YOUR PULSE?
Pulse diagnosis is based on the principle that Qi and Blood  circulate
as a single entity. By feeling the movement of blood in the vessels,
the activity of Qi, Moisture, and Blood  is inferred. The pulse is
produced by the movement of blood in the arteries, but movement
is initiated by the force of Qi. The Chinese saying “Where  Qi goes,
Blood  ows” communicates this synergy of Qi and Blood. When Qi
and Blood  are disturbed, Moisture  may become abnormal as well.Palpating the Pulse
The practition er feels three positions on each wrist along the
radial artery. These positions correspond to metabolic zones known
as the Triple-Burner  or Three-Heater. The position closest to the
thumb corresp onds to the chest and upper body (the Heart  and
Lung). The middle position corresponds to the upper abdomen (the
Stomach, Spleen, Gallbladder, and Liver). The position farthest from
the wrist corresponds to the lower abdomen (the Kidney,


 the gelatine has slightly cooled, pour it over
the fruit. Set on ice until firm, and serve with cream.

BANANA CREAM.
 Jelly Powder,   Cream,
 Bananas,   Sugar,
Nuts.
Peel four very ripe bananas, rub through a colander. Add
to this one cup sweet cream beaten to a stiff froth and four
teaspoonfuls of sugar. Have ready one package of jelly

 the abdomen. After about four seconds start a new cycle.
Abdominal Breathing10/30/24, 8:13 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Exercises
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Exercises.html 3/5This is important for people with breathing problems. Place a hand on the abdomen and feel it rise and fall without moving the chest.
Adopt abdominal breathing whenever an acute breathing problem develops.
Exhaling
This is good for people with obvious or hidden anxieties and to establish a proper orgasm reﬂex. While standing, exhale for about 10
seconds in one continuous sweep. Near the end, the shoulders should move forward, the buttocks press together and the pelvis
move forward and upward in an involuntary movement.
A long, gentle exhalation also helps to relax body and mind and may be used to direct energies and relax speciﬁc muscles. Inhale
quickly in about 1 or 2 second and then exhale slowly for about 10 seconds. During exhalation you may focus your attention on a
speciﬁc part of the body and imagine the breath energy ﬂowing into it, making it feel warm and expand. You may use this to reduce
muscle tension and pain or relax the whole body by starting with the feet and gradually working your way upwards to the head.
Super-breathing (Hyperventilation)
This is to quickly saturate the body with oxygen and prana. Quickly and deeply - at the rate of about one or two cycles per second -
inhale through the nose and exhale  through the mouth. Stop when you begin to feel dizzy. A slower, but more sustained form of
super-breathing, through the nose only, may be adopted during energ y healing, for telekinetic experiments or before and during
heavy physical work or exercises.
Hara Breathing
Sit or lie relaxed with the hands folded as in prayer or over the abdomen, left palm on the navel, right hand on top. Inhale gently
through the nose, hold, and exhale through the mouth, each period lasting for about ﬁve seconds. While inhaling touch the roof of the
mouth with the tongue. Use abdom inal breathing. Envisage with each breath that the prana ﬁlls the abdomen with energy; feel it
warm and tingling. Hara is Japanese for the centre and storehouse of vital energy just below the navel.
Alternating Breathing
This is helpful for balancing body polarities. Close the right nostril with a ﬁnger and inhale through the left nostril, then close the left
nostril and exhale through the right nostril. Inhale through the right nostril, and exhale through the left one, and so on.
Eight - T wo Breathing
This may be used for stilling the mind and emotions, or during meditation or spiritual healing. Inhale for a count of eight, hold for two,
exhale for eight, hold for two, and so on. The ﬂow of the breath should be smooth and harmonious.
Skin and Organ Breathing
For improving a particular part of your body, imagine and feel your breath moving through this part during inhalation as well as during
exhalation. As an example, for impro ving the liver, feel the breath as in a cool stream penetrating through the skin above your liver.
When holding the breath, feel a slight pressure in the liver area and an increasing warmth. This warmth still increases while you
exhale through the skin above the liver. For arthritis, you may breathe through the affected joints, and for bone disorders, breathe
through the bones.
Colour Breathing
Select a colour according to the rules of colour therapy. After relaxation, visualise yourself being surrounded by an ocean of air and
energy of your chosen colour. See the inhaled coloured breath moving through the lungs or skin into the target organ or ﬁlling the
whole body.
Supercharging
Supercharging yourself with vital energy may be done by super-breathing, by leaning with your back or front against a tall tree, or by
one of the following methods. The main requirement for all these is to envisage vital energy entering your body. For healing a patient
or a part of your body, direct the accumulated energy by radiating it out of the hands or hara, or by circulating it internally. Energy ﬂow
follows thought!
The energy resulting from these exercises can be tested by trying to lift a heavy object that was just a fraction too heavy before the
exercise. Supercharge yourself several times daily, especially before healing sessions, stressful situations, acupressure, massage,
heavy work, important decisions or interviews.
AOUM  - Stand with arms over the head. Feel the 'A' sound vibrating in the upper chest, the 'O' in the stomach area, complete the
exhalation with the 'U' in the lower abdomen. Feel the energy moving downwards to the base of the spine. Inhale with an 'M' sound,
imagine it to move upwards along the spine to the top of the head.
RAKING EXERCISE  - Reach up high with widespread ﬁngers, circle the arms with bent knees past the ankles and up again,
standing on tiptoes. During the circlin g visualise gathering life-force, which is then stored by bringing the hands to the abdomen after
each circling. Breathe deeply during the exercise.
STAR EXERCISE  - Extend your arms sideways with the left palm up and the right palm down, feet wide apart. Visualise energy
streaming into the hands; feel how they become warm and tingling. Direct this energy to the hara, or place your charged hands over
weak body areas and release the healing energy. In a weakened condition, exercise by spreading arms and legs while lying down.
Vocal Exercises10/30/24, 8:13 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Exercises
https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Exercises.html 4/5Sounds have a strong inﬂuence on our being, and music can have a profound effect on our emotions. Mantras or special words or
sounds, are used in certain techniqu es of meditation to achieve particula r effects. Much stronger than outside sounds, however, is the
impact of our own voice on our body. If properly pronounced, each vowel produces a vibration in a speciﬁc body part, mainly the large
cavities as shown in the table below. If you cannot feel a resonance vibration, just imagine it.
The sounds should be produced as clearly as possible. Take a full breath and sing each vowel forcefully in different intonations. If
your voice is low and deep, try to produce the sounds in the front of the mouth; if you have a high-pitched voice, make the vowels
vibrate deeper down the throat.
Feel the resonance of each vowel in the indicated body cavity. The lower the body cavity in which you want to experience the sound,
the deeper or lower you should try to make the sound. Initially use each vowel in turn, then concentrate on the ones most appropriate
to your condition. Select and use vowels according to resonance areas.  A high-pitched “I” sound may be used to stimulate the brain
as well as the pineal and pituitary glands. Imagine the sound vibrating from the center of your brain.
If you make the sounds properly, you will feel the vibrations in your throat and mouth and possibly in your lips and cheeks as well.
When you leave a tiny gap between your teeth, you should be able to feel them vibrating strongly. This effect is usually strongest with
the “m” or “om” sound. Also try to vibrate your tongue with a rolling “r” sound. If correctly done, you can feel these vibrations
energizing the whole structure of the head, bones as well as tissue.
Instead of sounding “om”, you may intonate “a-u-m” or “a-o-u-m“, in sequence with the same breath. Gradually lower the sound, and
try to feel the vowels vibrating in the appropriate resonance areas. Feel the “m” sound moving up the spine with the pitch gradually
rising higher, ending at the center of the brain.
Singing is an excellent vocal therapy - try it more often! Select stimulating, sedating or uplifting music according to your needs. Lie
down in a relaxed position and become fully immersed in the sounds. Feel something inside you moving, expanding, rising in
resonance with the music.
Vowel Resonance Areas
This table shows the correct intonation of vowels and the body cavities, which they stimulate if properly performed.
Try to grade the vowels with the highest note for “I” and the lowest for “U”
I Bee Head
