Mind, Body and Spirit Reading List

Tulku (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia¬es=

Tulku is a 2009 documentary film, written and directed by Gesar Mukpo. The film details the personal experiences of five young Western men who were identified in childhood as being tulkus, or reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist masters.

Scraps of the Soul

Love is a part of me in such deep level, that when I try to close my heart chakra, just to balance my emotions and get grasp of my chatter box mind, I get physically drained and sick... It is like fading, feeling this deep weakness that keeps me tired and lacking motivation. It happens because I have to use all energy available in my being to contain this huge uncontrollable energy that flows straight from my heart. If I keep with the mindset of controlling this energy, closing it, I just don't have energy for anything else, I fade. If I learned something about this inside watcher that I hope is me, is that the love energy that is available within me is like a supernova. To stop a supernova it requires a supernova of contrary polarity. To generate two powerful forces with the energy available to me, at this moment of my life, is very hard on my body. It takes energy from everything else and drains all my other chakras too.

Have you had a hard day? Are your shoulders full of tension? Does your eye twitch? If so, I have a prescription for you. To relieve yourself of the world’s ills, you could spend thirty minutes meditating or practicing yoga, and that would be good. Or, you could spend the same amount of time in a garden. A few moments spent weeding, deadheading, or simply sitting and having a cup of coffee, is probably the closest any of us comes to heaven on Earth. If you don’t have a garden, don’t despair. Simply stop on your way home at a public botanic garden or arboretum, sit on a bench and just “be.”

What is Adi-Yoga? : Adi-Yoga

Adi-yoga is also a school for the preservation and dissemination of teachings in permaculture and sustainable living. The teachings of yoga are directly related to the proper care and cultivation of the earth and our natural resources. The development of the body and mind (the real practice of adi-yoga) leads to a desire for a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. Thus, Adi-yoga, located in the beautiful mountains of Northeastern Thailand, is a living example of a fully sustainable, organic, natural community designed via the principles of permaculture. In the endeavor of teaching permaculture, Adi-yoga works in conjunction with Earthsafe, a Thai initiative that is dedicated to the teaching, preservation and practices of permaculture, sustainability and natural farming...

The Reading List is a http://del.icio.us feed. To add to it, you need a delicious account of your own. You then would use the save for feature as a tag when you save the bookmark you want to show up in the reading list.

For example, if you want a website about teas to show up in the Tea Zoo, you would bookmark it in your delicous account and add the tag "for:zoobird, tea" (without quotes)

You can also ask me to add it.

There's a Note about it here.

How does one add to the Reading List?
Comment by Michael Levin on June 25, 2008 at 6:17pm
Just so you know! There's a new feature here in the Mind, Body and Spirit Zoobird group. It's called "Mind, Body and Spirit Reading List", and it's a del.icio.us link library. What's del.icio.us? Why, it's a place on the Web to store bookmarks of your favorite websites. And, Mind, Body and Spirit has its own del.icio.us site. It's http://del.icio.us/zoobird/spirit. If you'd like to add a bookmark to this reading list, you'll have to create your own del.icio.us account first. But, that just takes seconds. Then, save the link to the site you think is interesting and add the tag "for:zoobird" Your link will show up in the Zoobird Reading List feed and eventually on this page. It's that simple!

Senses are our awareness. It's just getting to the truth about what or how we are aware of that's the catch. So the senses can be the door.
