Ever
so often we are asked to suspend our disbelief, to look outside of
the norm, and accept something that is thought impossible despite
the resistance. Galileo Galilee was put under house arrest when his
perceptions though accurate went against the normal belief at the
time, only to be accepted later. The great Sir Isaac Newton, in all
his greatness, said "If I seem great, it is because I stand on the
shoulders of great men".
After he got hit by the falling apple
and "woke up!" he came to understand gravity and subsequently
Newtonian physics was born and his greatness became renown. His
greatness came because the path was already paved by such men like
Galilee, whose work also grew as a result of what someone had done
before. Newton's work stood solid ground but then there came in
individual who was very much an idiot and he also eventually did his
own thing. The result of his work was that the very ground upon
Newtonian physics stood was shaken. The same idiot is now revered as
the great genius, and the father of modern physics. His name...Dr.
Albert Einstein, and his work, relativity...but that is all
relative!
In
mentioning the ground work laid down by other before, the discussion
on "gravity" was done by Shankara in the around the 8th century AD
though it was used only as a reference while a more important topic
was being discussed.
Can
you imagine a man walking on the moon? Well! ...man has also done
that. There was a time when it was thought impossible to run a mile
under four minutes...and then it was done! There are many things
that are considered impossible because we have not done it yet.
So
far you are doing fine, lets us go a little further. Imagine that
every semblance of a circle were to be remove from every book in
every library on the face or the earth. Not even the word circle is
known or even described in some way...what would happen to
civilization as we know it? Well, let's see. We would not have cars
because that depends on wheels, wheels are circles; we would not
have a concept of the clock, that depends on a circle. We certainly
would not have computers because for computers we use a binary
system of 1's and 0's i.e. fifty percent circles. Now we are getting
to where it is impossible to imagine the world without computers. In
fact, we would have been thrown back into a time in history long
before the pyramids were built...long time ago!!!.
What
would happen? Well, someone would notice that the seasons come round
in a cycle and prepare for it, that the moon becomes round in a
cyclical manner, that you can roll a big block on the trunk of a
tree to build a pyramid. Someone will come up with a way to build
the wheel and make a bullock cart and so on, until life as we know
it will have been re-established. It is our very nature to want to
find more effective ways and efficient ways of doing things and we
will imagine all of the same inventions to accomplish the same
things. We will have another Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Edison and
many others all over again. Why? Because all that knowledge is
already within us, and it is unfolded as the need arises.
In
each one of us there is a Galilee, a Newton, an Einstein, we just
have to tap into it, to use our imagination. Mark Twain was the one
who said that Education stops our learning. Somehow
we find a way to stop our creativity. Since we have all that
knowledge already, all we have to do is to tune in within, rather
than running about searching here and there picking up tid-bits of
information here and there and then calling ourselves educated and I
dare say we argue that we are intelligent.
We
stop believing in our abilities for some three categories of
reasons, the first of them being 'wrong understanding.' Then we wait
for someone else to show us the way. In addition, if a person goes
on to scrutinize the result of his/her undertaking from the very
start of an action then he or she will never make progress but will
surely court failure. I am going to ask you to suspend your
disbelief for yet another time and spend some time with me. I will
show you some incredible things that you can do for yourself to
improve you Health, Rejuvenation and Longevity, as part of you
personal transformation. Physical practices and observances that
take you from the grossest aspect of your being, through the mental,
to the spiritual, and perhaps beyond...who knows!!! The
possibilities are limitless. The above mentioned Dr. Einstein said
that the greatest force in the universe is imagination. If you look
at the word "Imagination" closely you will see that it comes from
the words "image-in-action"
As
a Holistic Health Consultant and Integrative Bodywork Therapist, I
combine over forty years of
Yoga &
Meditation, thirty-five years of
Shiatsu, and
Ohashiatsu, Eastern and Oriental Medicine,
CranioSacral Therapy, Myofascial Release and other forms of both
Eastern and Western Modalities. Embracing as an Educator and as a
Practitioner the five essential components of health:
1. Touch,
2. Nutrition,
3. Physical Culture (exercise, yoga, tai
chi etc.)
4. Rest/Relaxation and
5. Meditation.
The goal being, to find the most
underlying cause not just the most recent cause and transform it.
This is especially valuable as preventive medicine. To move from one
plateau of health to a higher plateau of health until we reach our
highest potential.
As
an Integrative Bodywork therapist...I combined many disciplines
which include but is not limited to: Ayurvedic Massage, Swedish
massage, Myofascial Release, Zen-Shiatsu, CranioSacral Therapy
(CST), Polarity, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Eastern and
Oriental Medicine and other modalities and Eastern philosophies.
This multi-disciplinary approach has far reaching beneficial effects
on the body, energy, mind, intellect and spirit as is shown in
numerous research studies in the United States, Europe and Asia both
recently and in Ancient times.
Many
years were spent practicing and living the above disciplines as part
of my monastic training. As a result I have used these disciplines
as tools towards "involution", to go within and bring forward the
depths of knowledge that is already our birthright. My continuing
endeavor through practice and understanding and some more practice
hopefully, will enable me to bring to you ways to tap into that
knowledge within and then we will all share a one common theme, one
goal towards our highest potential.
Come
with me, the journey is not to long...only a few eons! Not too
far...only a few galaxies! All which is at your finger-tips and a
click!!! away.
Please
return and visit with me as I will be offering some powerful
thoughts, ideas, practical hints, both ancient and modern, perhaps
some provocations as well.
Come! let us toast to your
improved health, vitality and beauty. All of which is already within
you.
