Twine Thought
There is an absolutely new discovery which I would like to share with you. According to the known facts of science up to today, the intellect releases a thought. Now, this is wrong because in reality the intellect releases a “twine thought.” Mark the word, “twine.” It is just as the weed goes around the trees, the negative and positive thought go together and are released by the intellect at the same time...

Living a Purpose-Filled Life: LifeCycles and LifeStyles
July 1 – 8 Española, NM 2007
What if every day of your life was filled with purpose and power? What if you lived in balance with the cycles of life so at each stage you could excel? What would happen if you mastered habits of body and mind that let you incarnate as your highest self with each breath? Revel in your purpose, the unique gift of your life and the opportunities at each stage to be Original, pure and innocent in your Infinity.
Each course in Transformation is a mirror to see our self and to reveal our virtues, our potential and our reality. Come. Join others. Look deeply in this mirror and see your self transformed.
Quote of the Week
What is meditation? When you empty yourself and let the Universe come in you.

Healing the Body, Mind and Soul
Chakra Basics
- Chakra means “wheel.” Chakras are energy centers, or energy vortices. In studying and teaching Kundalini Yoga, we focus on the eight major chakras.
- Seven of the chakras correspond to areas of the endocrine system or to nerve plexes in the physical body, and the eighth corresponds to the aura or magnetic field of the body.
- The first three chakras are known as the Lower Triangle and the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh chakras are known as the Upper Triangle. The Fourth chakra, the Heart chakra is the point of balance between them, where experience shifts from “me to Thee,” or from “me to we.”
- No chakra stands alone. When exploring Yogic Anatomy, we need to shift our understanding from the need to analyze and separate, to a more holistic approach that recognizes that everything works in unison. The chakras are all part of a larger cycle of evolution and devolution, manifestation and sublimation. The Lower Triangle chakras focus on elimination and reduction, and are balanced by the Upper Triangle chakras, which accumulate, create and refine.
- Prana, the life force, powers the chakras, by clearing the blocks to the free, natural flow of energy through them. Kundalini Yoga facilitates this clearing, balancing, and maximizing of the functioning of body, mind, and spirit.
- The chakras affect our perceptions, feeling, and choices. They affect the flow and types of thoughts we have, and the energies we can gather to act upon them, and manifest our thoughts. In all of our behaviors, they affect the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious. Opening and balancing the chakras opens the senses, and integrates them into a responsive network that can relate to the larger source field source field source field of energy from which we come and to which we return.
